They have Tim Hortens around the suburbs of Detroit eh? I'll have to check it out next time I go up there. I'm originally from Massachusetts and they have Dunkin Donuts on just about every block. Almost everyone drives around with a large regular up there(Cream and sugar). It was culture shock when I moved to Ft Myers in 1995. They had one Dunkin Donuts in the whole city back then, it was kind of depressing. They have several more now but a large regular down here is a black coffee so I have to tell them cream and sugar if that's what I want.

At Tim Horton's (or we simply call it "Tim's/Timmy's"), "regular" means "one cream and one sugar". If you want more cream and sugar, then you go for the "Double-Double".

By the way, did you know Tim Horton's was named after a hockey player, Tim Horton? No wonder you don't find any in Florida. ;)

I used to be a Bruins fan but I never see games down here. Not to mention I'm working when the games are on.
I used to go see the Florida Everblades, kind of a SW Florida minor league team down here. The arena is 5 minutes from my house. Just no time anymore! I'll keep my eyes open for a Tim Hortons when I head up to Detroit to visit the Grandkids. My wife is from Colombia so she was raised practically mainlining coffee since she was a kid. Pretty important to us at home and on the road. Probably why I battle insomnia so much!

Here's my confession: I hate hockey! I know, I know... that's not a very Canadian thing to say, but I'm more into the NFL than the NHL. I do love maple syrup, though. :D

Maybe your wife can taste test both Tim's and Dunkin's coffees and tell us which is better. ;)

I like Maple syrup better than hockey myself. And football better than hockey (Patriots)! As far as Dunkin donuts I don't know what happened to them the last couple years but the coffee has gotten incredibly weak tasting, down here at least. We generally go to the mom and pop coffee shops now when we find them and avoid Dunkins unless it's an emergency! At one time it was my favorite!

You owe it to yourself to try the Tim's Dark Roast when you get a chance! I'm sure your wife will appreciate the taste of home. It's just as rich and flavorful as the Fender 9050CL flats! (Sorry, I had to mention the Fender flats in order to maintain the integrity of this thread. ;););))

We will be looking forward to your report on how the 105E does compared to the 100E on your 9050L and the 100E on your Sadowsky.

Mine should be here this week. I plan to put them on my Am Std P as soon as they arrive.

The first thing I have notice is the tension is close to current broke in 760fl. The neck relief reading just little low than current 760fl setting.

The .105 gauge E string sound seem not big different than 100E, just I can feel it little stiff in my finger with better control than 100E.
