Mr. Natural Posted December 3, 2020 Share Posted December 3, 2020 I went to the doctor. She wants me to do the chemical peel on my head and my forearms and backs of my hands. She told me I'd look pretty rough for a couple of weeks. I told her I already look pretty rough - I don't need to look any rougher! My arms are pretty hairy, and she said I'd have to shave my arms before starting the chem peel on my arms. A couple of years back, I met my daughter, son-in-law, and 4 year old granddaughter at their place in the New Mexico mountains. We were talking about the local wildlife, and bears were mentioned. My granddaughter said that my arms were hairy like a bear's. I told her that this is America, and I have a right to bear arms. She didn't get it. My daughter and son-in-law just groaned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 What The Hell Did I Do Today? (a poem) What the hell did I do today? I was supposed to fly, but I didn't All our plans went astray They guy I was supposed to fly with was bedridden He wrenched his back, and was in a lot of pain I felt bad for the guy, he's a good one So we chalked it up to bad luck, and the rain And we were better off in the long run So I worked in the office and put out some fires and I made plans for the next week I gave a tour to the new hires showed them the ropes, so to speak I eventually logged-out and went home plenty to do around here I calculated a way to split the human genome and then I sat down and drank a lot of beer Okay, I'm gonna shut up now.😑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) Taking a break from work, waiting on a 10 pack of strings which is somewhere between Utah and my mail box. I've been keeping a spreadsheet on COVID-19 cases since March and overnight PA increased by 42,884 cases. Forty Two Thousand. Holy ****.

mihcmac Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Played the Wilshire outdoors today through my tube amp, it sounded incredible and I am really taken with the rolled C neck (whatever that means), I wish they released this guitar a long time ago.

SteveFord Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I don't know if I mentioned this here or not. A while back I was trying to buy a Firebird VII, I asked the guy if he'd accept a deposit and the remainder in a week or so and he jacked the price up $600 and then eventually jacked it up another $600 after that. Needless to say, I didn't buy that one. I found another one on Facebook and asked the guy if he'd ship as it would be a 6 hour round trip. No shipping so I said I'll let him know on Thursday. The next day he jacks the price up $100... It must be my breath. I don't think I'll bother pursuing any more Firebird VIIs, one is enough.

Pinch Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Raised the treble side of the bridge on my Tribute. Intonated. Took a minute. Started adjusting pickup height to compensate. My estimate is I'll be done by New Year's. Same old same old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I start a little higher so I can go down a bit and still make close to what I want. I guess they don't understand what selling means.

SteveFord Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Damndest thing I ever saw. A lot of really nice guitars are coming up for sale these days so forget that thing. There's a beautiful ES345 on eBay right now but these guys are going to bid it through the roof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might try for 1 more VII just because it is what it is, but I generally follow the rule of 1 time is luck, 2 times a coincidence, 3 times a pattern - so no more than 3.

You own a BB King, Steve. I can't imaging it being too much better than that. We know we own / owned them. You owned the same one twice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Just got back from doing my Wally World run, wanting to pickup my 339 and play it for while, but the Wilshire won again. This has been happening a lot lately, my new 339 has been getting lonely.. Not mention the dust collecting on my others.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 I don't think a 345 would be better than a Lucille. Different but not better. I always wanted one since I met a guy who had one when I was in my teens. We'll see. Strings finally showed up so stuck a Schaller roller bridge on the 2007 GOTW Explorer, hopefully that will help with the tuning stability. I was REALLY happy as the posts just dropped right into the Gibson bushings and the spacing was fine. There's no way I'm reaming out the guitar for anything.

Justin really is the MVP for making almost all his lessons available for free. I sing as well and figured it'd be a great (and relatively easy for a beginner) song to get into playing and singing simultaneously. Is Stairway to Heaven as popular a song to play as Wayne's World would suggest lol? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
