lol or not. My wife and I had lunch at a Chinese place years ago. We both "ordered" sesame chicken. I was about to fork a small piece when six legs popped out. It was one of those brown beetles. Called the server over and showed her the "sesame beetle" and said we're leaving. She made a little fuss about not paying but let it go. That place is no longer there.
Makes sense but thought the neck through might have minimized differences. Thanks for the comments.

Hard to throw that a "like"
But in reading it forgot until now the only restaurants I found in McAllen, Texas, were Chinese. Work took me to a lot of places, and McAllen is definitely one of them.I had the opportunity to try a few basses at a Carvin Showroom, and I did notice some difference between various body and top woods.
But I frankly admit to being very nitpicking (and probably also hysteric). Maybe I'm one of those folks who are able to hear a difference between a bass finished in green and one in blue
Guess I will stick to lemon pickles. Nicely refreshing.
Eat with (yoghurt) rice or bread. Do not commit the common westerners' mistake to attempt eating it on its own.

I hear you. Yellow is a more aggressive color than blue so I thought that was the reason for the difference.
I was a little nervous about buying a bass online and having it shipped. Their return policy was pretty generous - 3 days. Don't like it, send it back, full refund. When the BB75F arrived all I had to do was a minor tweek on the truss rod. It's almost effortless in playing. Fit and finish is top notch. I liked it enough that I bought the yellow BB75. Action is higher since it has frets but no complaints. The wood is beautiful. Both of these are the Bunny Brunel model. I got the BB because of the asymmetrical neck profile (thinner on the treble side) and the string spacing is the same as a four.
We found an alt location for the school combo at the Wylie campus. Have to bring my amp but no big deal except it's been raining today. I have a cover for it.
We revived a couple of Bobby Watson tunes we played a long time ago. I've been working on getting the fretless chops back in shape for these two.
This one is a really happy tune and fun to play.
Love this one, too!

It looks good.
One question, it looked like a lot of salt was used. Is this common in hot areas to compensate for salt lost by sweating? I watch Grandpa Kitchen on YouTube, maybe more representative of everyday cooking, they tend to use a lot of salt.

I always pickle a little when there's a lemon rind in the martini.
That is one of the funny things I'm seeing: fighting for last.
I'm not in a hurry, but just keep me on the regular schedule.
I stopped in at the Carvin showroom in 2007. I loved it, and had to peel myself away regretfully.I had the opportunity to try a few basses at a Carvin Showroom, and I did notice some difference between various body and top woods.

I cannot hear a difference between different woods, or tops.
Just purchased a bottle of hot lime pickle and a bottle of hot mango pickle. The hot lime is a favorite of mine, and have not tried mango yet.
Normally I blend them into a sauce already on my plate to enhance the flavor of the sauce. Then I tend to use naan to scoop up sauce and rice. Yum!
Been interested in one of the XB75s, but have not found a used one that I "need" yet.I hear you. Yellow is a more aggressive color than blue so I thought that was the reason for the difference.

My all koa LB70 has been one of my favorite basses since '93.
My Yamamotos have asymmetrical necks. They do feel great.
What's your take on this.
For those who have seen this you may be excused from class, but please, still have some class while doing so.

A good kitchen doesn't waste any food. So they cooked EVERYTHING.

I totally never held the desire to visit Tijuana.
Been through there, once, in 1874 on the way to Ensenada for the afternoon and dinner. Make that twice; I had to go through TJ to get back to SD. I have a Mexican blanket I bought off a street vendor. I was 17 at the time, and did my first bartering for something (
) and got him down from $15 to $8.- Status
