Fingers crossed that it arrives safe and sound. Who are those guys? I had to hide under my bed for a minuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know who are in the costumes these days after the old band left/were fired, though.. Who'da thunk that little project would end up in arenas in less than ten years' time...

SteveFord Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) That I can do. I also don't get hounded out of the kitchen, I don't have to listen to Judge Judy, I don't have to hear long-winded stories about people I don't know, that kind of stuff. My gifts were okay (some money, some brown dress gloves that I asked for, a giant ceramic Merry Christmas mug which I can use once a year) so I do my own shopping. After having that heart attack on the motorcycle in October I figure that I should get the things I would like to have before they plant me in the ground. This year it was some new (to me) leather motorcycle jackets and I replaced my hat collection which was lost in a flood years ago: bowlers, derbies, homburgs and fedoras. A silk, collapsible top hat is the only item I'm missing at the moment. That was a fun thing to screw around with but is really out of place here in the middle of nowhere. They're also stupidly expensive so maybe I'll give that one a pass. Edited December 30, 2019 by SteveFord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We put up lights, put our tree up, have a really nice dinner and some bubbly. We give each other stuff all year. rct Thats us also. No need for a certain day for gifts, we get things through the year. It was nice just looking at the tree decorated and the grandchildren happy.

Navy Vet. Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I can’t post a pic to save my life. This has to be the most lame site for posting your pictures. Now that I got that off my chest, I retired and received a beautiful framed retirement certificate signed by the Director of the Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center. I moved to East Tennessee and purchased a home in Johnson City. Bought over 10k worth of new furniture and for my retirement gift to me I bought a new amp and guitar. But you will never see a picture because I have exhausted my data for pictures. Pity! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numerous other forums don't let you post a pic at all on their sites. You have to use an external photo host site. So it is kind of nice Gibson allows this at all. There are many such reputable sites that do it for free: Google Photos Imgur Dropbox TinyPic. Use Flickr 500px SmugMug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can almost see the notes coming out of the amp. (or maybe thats the Dead concert from '77 coming back on me ...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tman Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Nice Martin Big Bill! My wife got me this but Guitar Center still hasn't gotten it in store. I love it and it will house my 1987 Black Strat. I got her a gift certificate to a clothing store. Since she took over (we) her new business she needed business clothes. I wrapped up a picture of the certificate and wrapped in a box but they delivered it electronically spoiling the surprise. btw this is the first Christmas we've exchanged gifts in years, since my kids moved out. Like was said, we get each stuff all year long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grateful Dead, if you like them when they had a good night were like no other band on the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
