Or gold rings. Do these exist? Black or gold?
AFA St. Patty vs Paddy, my guess is that most people 'celebrating', i.e. drinking green Buds, neither know nor care about the difference. I see signs spelled both ways-sometimes next to each other.Funny the American versions of things. I guess from your perspective it’s funny the Australian versions.
We never say St Patty. Patty is a girls name, short for Patricia. We would say St Patrick OR St Paddy’s Day - short for the Irish Padraig (which gets Anglicised to Patrick). The corned beef and cabbage thing is known here and done but not in a big way. More likely to get an Irish Stew, or a Beef & Guinness Pie (or casserole at times) served on a bed of mashed potatoes and often gravy, sometimes lamb shank/s served in a bed of mashed potato and with a pool of gravy.
In Australia, St Patrick’s Day is regarded by the Catholic Church here, as a Solemnity which is higher than a normal Feast Day. Therefore, if it falls on a Friday in Lent (as it did this year) the ‘no meat on a Friday in Lent’ rule is overridden by the Solemnity and we are free to eat meat if we want cause it is a day to celebrate. Not sure if anyone is aware of all those rules except mebut I find it interesting. I hope someone else does lol. BTW that is not the case in the US or Canada afaik. I think it may only be in Ireland and Australia.
(Patty is short for Patricia here too)
The corned beef and cabbage is the traditional Americanised version. Lamb/mutton ain't big here.

IMO, lamb should be big here, I love it, cattle country or not. Strangely enough a lot of sheep are raised here (Utah), but you buy it at the grocery stores, and it's from New Zealand

That got me too! Meant to remark on it. Great!
Aka a Sears Silvertone 1490.
There is a hat on your stack. Not a euphemism, just a fact.
I would suggest that you are starting a trend, but I think you can't do that safely with a tube amp.
I don’t know. It was supposed to rain here at the mountain place. But when I took the dogs out at 5:00 AM it was snowing. It seems like Spring will never come. It is supposed to snow Tuesday and Wednesday then be nice by next weekend. But there is supposed to be another storm after that.
That sounds like the name of a punk band... Or maybe a drug.
Or if he needs a custom size, @BklynKen can repost the link to his guy who made rings for him. I forgot to bookmark the link…..
Has anyone replaced their Gibson T-Bird tuners with Hipshot Mini clovers and if yes, are they a direct fit?
You're lucky you're missing the flooding, we missed it too, had a little rain which is very strange. But we're right on the coast so it's cooler here than inland. I'm surprised it's that hot that far south though.
Yep that's my regular rig. D800+ and 2 x 210AVs
At my Friday night pub gig we played until midnight. I had my stuff in the car PDQ, but by the time everything else was loaded out it was after 0100. Last night was a church thing for a crowd of oldies, so done and home by 2230.Just got in a little while ago from the second St. Patty's day gig in 2 days. I'm ready to take a short break from corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes, at least for a coupla days. Both gigs over by 2130. Love playing for old(as me)pharts-home by 2200.Now I can drink.
I guess so. I could have done the gig with one cab and an MB200, but I like to hear myself.
Yup. Dave here has made me three. He's already got the measurements for matching rings for the TB+.
