I stopped believing all the reported scare stories when after months of telling us to wipe down groceries with disinfectant - they said - "Never Mind". CDC this week changed guidance on re-using masks. It's been 10 months - they just figured out 'best practices' for masks !!! I thought they were a billion dollar outfit charged with "CONTROLLING DISEASE". They've made lots of changes and reversals in the past year and should have had this one piece of information nailed. Experts like this are telling us they can measure the rise in the earths temperature by a couple of degrees over a couple of millennia. And cows are a big part of the problem. Pffft.

SteveFord Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Repaired the wiring on my Triumph Sprint GT so was able to ride that beauty around a bit. With the encouraging news about the vaccines maybe I will get to see all 48 lower states on that bike after all. Think I'll have to do strategically timed jaunts to dodge the aforementioned floods, fires, hurricanes, swarms of locusts, hordes of pitchfork weilding ornery locals, etc. and then drumroll please I bought something ridiculously ICONIC!!!

SteveFord Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 I would have to up my salary considerably to match him. I can't see that happening anytime soon. It's a shame he stopped posting here, I always enjoyed his contributions. No matter what it was, he was always so enthusiastic about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My recent acquisitions took me by surprise, the last 2 Epiphones blindsided me, as I wasn't expecting to find them. My 339 is proving punch way above its weight class like Karloff mentioned. The Wilshire is still unknown, but I have high hopes... Fortunately collecting Epiphones doesn't break the bank too badly and allows me to be a bit braver with things I don't get to touch before buying.

SteveFord Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 It looks like the second time isn't as bad as the first. Just heard from a friend, both him and his wife have it at the moment. His comment was "sux". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You all have to up your game considerably. When my wife's Uncle died, I was left with a small collection of antique firearms. I added to it over all the years. The majority has never been fired. Too darn bad that didn't start off as a guitar collection. I would have 85 guitars in the collection Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Took a pass on the "new" guitar after all. Seller sent a bunch of pick and it was pretty beat up so saved a few pennies today. Edited November 27, 2020 by SteveFord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just found out my wife's older brother just got it. He was planning on taking his whole family (wife and his 12 and 11 year old girls to Disney World after Xmas), so he would have gotten it anyway. Not sure if the trip is off or still on now. He wears the sweater of the current incumbent President who didn't win re-election, so I am thinking he still would / will. I'm working from home 🤑 till the 3rd of December. I need to call the clinic at NASA the day before I go back and talk to the staff Doctor and he is going to ask me "You got any symptoms" and that is it. If I say, Nope< I go back to work the next day. My co-worker that got it said for him the body aches were the worst and loosing smell and taste and eating with felt like just a chunk of some flavorless wad of stuff in your mouth.

SteveFord Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Holy crap, in 2 days Pennsyltucky jumped 15,785 cases. I just looked, Australia has under 28,000 cases for the whole country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that a big way of spreading it in the beginning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Swam a half mile. Picked up groceries. Came home. Took a nap. Led all three dogs on a long neighborhood walk. Hung two new guitar wall hangers in the music room. Set my two newest acquisitions onto them. Cooked supper for myself and the wife. Beef stir-fry. Having a cold beer. Typing in a minimalist fashion. Thinking that a haiku would be inappropriate. 😗 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is because there is 102 types of snakes, 83 types of spiders and only 100,000 people, and maybe 5000 of the original Aussies the Aborigines'. Edited November 28, 2020 by Sgt.

Scarecrow1120 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Just got done with the shed/garage swap. Snow blower and generator come out of the shed and into the garage. The lawn mower, trimmer and leaf sweeper come out of the garage and go into the shed. While the shed is empty, get all of the Christmas decor out. All of the crap we haven't used from the shed in the past year, in the trash. Went to GC yesterday, dang is that wall empty! Walked next door to S.A. same thing. 200 miles round trip just to look at empty walls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 It was the same when I went a GC a while back. It reminded me of the local Sears a few years back. Really sad to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow1120 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I don't hold much hope for the future of GC and their subs. Pretty sure they'll last a bit longer but they are in the throws of a slow and painful death. It was nice to see all the same faces working there. I hope for their sake, corporate get's their crap together. Most of the folks at my local GC have been there a very long time and are very knowledgeable.

SteveFord Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I stopped going around 2015 as it was just revolving door with the personnel. Everyone has always been helpful but I have no idea who any of them are. I showed one of the sales kids the incredibly bowed neck on a Firebird V (kind of an S-shape) and he went yeah and hung it back up on the wall...

SteveFord Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 That last picture makes me laugh. That boa must have 2-3 dozen babies starting in her and she's warming them up under a heat lamp. She's so big and strong it's a two person job to move her and that tortoise was just bound and determined to try and bulldoze out of the way. Good luck, Buddy!
