Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

Got a picture of your board? debating buying one vs diy.

Here's an old shot of the Weeping Demon on my premium custom handmade bespoke organic free-range gluten-free pedalboard made of a few odds of scrap lumber and a $0.99 IKEA doormat.

It's arranged much differently now, with several more pedals. I'll take a more up to date photo when I get home.

I'm actually in your neck of the woods on business travel currently. Looking forward to the storms tonight. Or maybe I zonk out early, then while I sleep, get sucked out a 7th-story window of the North Dallas Hyatt Regency by an F4 tornado, that'll be neat.
 
Anyone know him on a personal level or better than me and get me a digital audience with him perhaps? Or knows if he's still in action/ Or knows if he's ok?

I was in MD last month for a bachelor party and stopped in to the music store (Atomic Music) where I purchased your BB to see if they had any more in stock. Guy behind the counter and I started talking, and he says "Want to see something really funny?" And then pulls up a band flyer to show me Sonny's Realtor business card. Same email address. I am thinking he is out of the game, has a family and all that. I'll see whats involved in pulling my newer one apart to take a pic of the board for you.
 
Oh, great news last night! Tech found a suitable PT for the VTA400. $40 for a PT from a CS800, as opposed to like a $500 mercury magnet one. Woooooo!!!
NICE! Buy that guy some beer (also give his name for when the SVT needs service).

Been out of commission with a hugely swollen and infected foot, pain was unreal, havent slept more than an hour since thursday last week. Got antibiotics and hydrocodone from the doc yesterday - hydro did NOTHING for the pain. Finally listened to my wife, sucked it up and lanced that shager. Just drained about 1/4 cup of pus and blood out and I feel a hundred times better. Just got caught up on some work email and did some homework. Actually looking forward to being back in the office tomorrow.

Currently hiding from said storm in my relatively new car under a pedestrian entrance to a wellness center on my street.
Thunder/lighting went off in front of me, jiumped and broke my flip flops.

Jerky and water and npr to keep us alive.

Gracias, I stumbled upon some info to help, but anything helps to confirm and concrete the concept for all to see.

Stay safe dude, I've been looking at the radar and was just thinking "woah Denton is gotta be gettin asshammered right now" but I guess you still got cell service so that's good. It hasn't really hit here in Richardson yet.
