If the bridge looks the same, it’s probably a faithful copy, including flaws.
A little warmer today, only -9C
This is what I was faced with on Tuesday morning:

Our daughter's been posting deep snow pics from Anchorage. The Mat Su valley nearby them is supposed to have 65 mph winds on top of the snow and frigid temps.
Yikes! For the non PNW folks this is a prime example of what's called "Frazier River Outflow". Basically arctic air following the river's canyon from east to west and mixing with moisture.
Being a bit south of Irv I have quite a bit less snow here but the cold air is quite present.
Your grass is whiter than I remember...
Efffin Hell, Thunderbirds are the BEES KNEES!!
Just got ahold of another 2000 Tbird and it was too dark at first for my taste but dialing in the pickups with new strings and string height really hit it home. Now this thing has a deep growl that makes me smile even more.
I’m infatuated with these basses and I’m curious if you could share how else you guys show your love for them…any bumper stickers, artwork, tattoos, jewelry or apparel to let the world know?
Cheers all and happy holidays!!!

Today in my area min 13C max 30C (86F), same for the following 3 days to 26th, except min is 15 or 16C and max 30 or 31C. Now that’s what I call Christmas weather.
Beautiful.(I’m allergic to snow, slush and associated rhubarb)
Thunderbucker Thursday it is!
arrived today? from where? thought he was done building them…….
For all of you suffering thru the winter weather:
Our global warming forecast here is -5 with 40mph wind in the morning. After freezing rain and snow later tonight. It's just wrong to hate a Thunderbird brother for a post, but this is pushing it.
