Everything is irrigated here, Lima is built on a desert. You'd never know it though. What the hell is a Floridonian? I should laugh, I'm the king of typos.

Usually, of course, it's Floridian. Someone else came up with Floridonian and I kinda usurped it.

That's like New Yorkers laughing at most people complaining about traffic.

Proof positive I'm weird. I drove in NYC traffic in 73(last time I was there). I liked it. At least people there were going somewhere, unlike tourists down here going "Look, Martha, it's a palm tree".

I get a kick out of folks in other portions of the U.S complaining about heavy rain. To a Floridonian, that's a mist.

If it’s not a squall line, it’s not rain. Based on 3 years in Louisiana.

This isn't going to end with pics with someone bleeding all over a bass again is it?

Promise that won’t happen.

We could use a little "mist" out here about now. 112 degrees here yesterday.

Indeed. That's why I mentioned allergies so imaginations wouldn't run wild!

No problem with the wall, but a coupla dancers got close.

At most places you have to pay extra if you want the dancers up close.

I told you @Chucky Stiletti is taking care of that for the GTG.

"Yeah, but it's a dry heat"
No, it's just effing hot!
Meanwhile, here we have an invisible mist called humidity.(not completely invisible-you can see it as sweat soaked shirts)

Somebody tell Chucky, no glitter for the dancers. I don’t think my wife will buy the story that I had to swing by the craft store on the way home again.

You could say you got surprised by one of those 'porch pirate' booby traps.

Well, I'm originally a Massachusettsanian, feel free to usurp.

The last time I drove in Manhattan it took me about an hour to move one mile, no thanks. We have a lot of traffic out here too at rush hour but it does move a lot faster than that. I don't drive here and taxis are wicked cheap, the only reason I wish I had a car here was for gigs or to get out of the city. 1973 was a long time ago, the Mass Pike was always open with no traffic in 1973, now it's bumper to bumper often during rush hour and the weekends, especially Sundays

Another thing is they also changed the wiring, pre-1972 EB-3's have the choke in the circuit with both pickups selected (pos 3), taking all the bottom out of the bass which never made any sense to me, with the post-1972's the choke is only in pos 4 and is the neck humbucker, you can solo it with the choke or without in pos 1. I always unhook the choke in mine as they all 1970 or older.

Truth be told, my favorite shaped Gibson body. I wish I could afford a custom made EB-J3, (Jeff 3)
With pick up placement like an original TBird IV.
