Third trip to the store. A new guy I never seen before looked it up on the computer and had a depressed look. Told me, it was never ordered. "Well, if it was never ordered, then cancel it and order it from Sweetwater I said, Since it's already paid for." He said they can't order from them but he would get on there Epiphone guy and put a rush on it. I know you want to support your local store, but I would put stop on the payment and order from Sweetwater. You will have it in a few days. Never got ordered, but you took my money.

Used both indoor and outdoor pools. Finished off with the jacuzzi & shower. Its the best way to cool down. Its just been so hot lately. My son & his fiance just got a hot tub for the garden too. Slept downstairs with the air con unit on last night. Put Ry Cooder on low. Went through 5 hours worth of albums. Really missing my daily swim; the indoor pool in my town still hasn't re-opened.

But, each amp adjusted slightly different for sound re-enforcement, kind of a Phil Spector thing. I do love playing out of multiple amps. I ran each of them at about 1/3, turned out to be be pretty loud with 2x15watt and 2x12's with my upgraded Ibanez goin tru em.... Hmmm there is life after 70.. 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was out front with the wife yesterday looking at the front porch (had just sanded and stained it). She looked at the chairs and said - wow, I think I'll get some sandpaper and paint and refinish these. Now that's how you do it! 🙂 Haha, I could never get Deb outside to any work. My mom always had a saying that Women do the work inside the house and men do the work, outside. Think Debbie holds to that belief too. While husband and wife are alive that is. She's told me that if I die before her, She will hire workers to do the outside work. That includes 190 feet of hedges and 2 lots. Two driveways and sidewalks, Our lots cover P sreet and Ohern. So I told her if she dies before me, I am gettin 2 or 3 Dobermans to replace her. Haha. I am not dating any woman again. Too old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for Ned there. from now on he will be the only guy I buy a guitar from. He just wasn't working that day. He lets me take any guitar I want home to try out for a week and if I don't like it, I can bring it back. He gives me discounts also. Thats the only reason I'm going to give these guys another chance. I try and be a nice guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up on Guitar Center years ago. Too many new guys come and go and some of them have no clue what's going on. At Dietze, I ran in a older guy there that says he's my Uncle Ned. Haha. I don't know him and we're not related, but I bought enough guitars there where he really likes me. I understand this Covid has things screwed up, but not ordering it I think reflects on their Epiphone dealer more than Dietze. I told them, they get another chance and then I'm going to Sweetwater. Good thing I have the patience of an Oyster. Haha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Sarge, your pizza has all of us drooling. I haven't eaten pizza for years (its a weight control thing) but... yeah! Want a slice or 2 now. 🍕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its worth being patient & forgiving usually, especially when it reinforces their bond to you. People here are being encouraged to support their local small grocery stores more as a 'thank you' when we needed them during lockdown. I tried, but last week I got overcharged at the till & didn't notice. A bottle of wine & a 4 pack of beer cost me double. I wasn't offered a till receipt. My fault for not paying attention, but it showed up on my bank statement. I wont be going back there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Spent close to 6 hours working with my son adjusting his in ground sprinklers. Probably 30 of them - 2/3rd weren't shooting straight. Most because they were too low. and had to be raised an inch. Harder than it sounds with thick turf on top of crushed limestone. Stayed cool even though it was 99 here and mostly sunny. Missed lunch. Wish I'd had a slice of that pizza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a wild hair up my arse and decided since I hadn't made it in a while (at least 2 years) to do it. It is so easy and so much better than store bought or a chain. Next time I'm gonna make at least one a deep dish Chicago style. Best pizza I ever had was in New Jersey. Edited August 11, 2020 by Sgt.

He stole around $50, to $60, grand by steeling and selling my drag car in the 70's. I didn't keep any recipes for proof as it was a race car. That ended our friendship for all time. Yep, There are crooked people out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
