Re: oldness

Also Re: irreplacability
It definitely wouldnt be VEGA without our guitard.



Graham? I can just imagine his wierdness clash with Jons in a super hawkward way, that I would probably pay to see. That being said, I do dig what hes doing with Emerald Douglas, seems like hes getting exactly what he wants no questions asked.

My dad did fire sprinkler work. It was hard work, and he never made much, but he loved it. He was able to help design the system for the KingKong ride at UniveralStudios in Florida. Then he got to oversee the install. That was the biggest project he did. Made the owner a ton and of money, and then NAFTA hit. His company got moved to Mexico to cut labor expense by half. He never found another job after that. He was either too skilled or the opening required a degree. Max, at your age, I'd look at welding or eletrical.

Really? Around here its the highest paid trade by average. I originally wanted to be a firefighter but didnt like all the medical/EMT stuff you have to do now, i want to putnout fires not give grandma good cookie air because she refuses to take her inhaler. So I kinda like the fact that ill putting out fires indirectly.

Otherwise electrical is my my second option but i dont like being shocked...

One of the friends of the family, the husband shocked himself to death on a commercial install. He was an electrician. The dangers are there, you have to be a safe person, double checking stuff.

And the fire sprinkler industry may be back by now. This was circa 1995.

Shite, I am scared plugging the new bass in after each time I mess with the wiring LOL. I worked with a guy who was a lineman for a company that the foreman's or owner's son, can't remember which started working for the company. Well he picked up a live cable and that was the end of him. He said making that call to the father was horrible on so many levels.

You're a young buck go back to school for two years to be an Xray tech, sleep apnea tech, or oxygen tech type job, etc. Move anywhere and there will be jobs. I still think you should work on yacht and sail boat engines with your degree and laugh all the way to the bank with the degree you already have. Yes rich yacht owner you might as well go with the whole works, you have had it at least two years and used it 5 times. Maybe I biased from living where there are a bunch of yuppy shipyards though.

Hex Volt plays our second show ever tonight, opening for Eagle Claw from Austin, TX. Interestingly enough, Eagle Claw will be playing the NAMM Peavey Showcase on Thursday, the 50th anniversary. Their guitarists are Peavey endorsees. I'm sure their 6505+/6534+ backline will be plenty impressive, but I would sure like to hear how it would hold up in comparison to the vintage transistor power of the Peavey Henge.
