Thunderbird Club


This was one Jackie Fox' FB page a few days back, she mentioned a few famous players that use a pick, she being one of them.
Good enough for this guy, good enough for me :)

Turkey is traditional here. I think it is in the US as well.
I never cook a whole Turkey for company. Last year I did grilled sirloin.

It was interesting being in the states this week. People kept saying happy Thanksgiving! That was more than a month ago for us.
But then
We stopped doing a full Turkey, but there are various other cuts available these days. So we grab one of those, basically half a turkey. It got to being only me basically that are the dark meat and the leftovers.

Friday, we had an electrician in for his part in some repairs we had done. Anyway, he mentioned Canada for some reason and was wearing a Whistler cap. So I asked him about it. He said he has a house there, about halfway between Whistler and Vancouver. I think he said Squamish ?
I don’t recall hearing of that place before.
His recommendation was that Air Canada does Sydney - Vancouver non stop, 13 hours. Qantas is only allowed the direct route during snow season as all the Aussie skiers take the numbers to excess of Air Canada’s capacity.
He seemed a good bloke, I hope he is a good electrician. :laugh:

If he’s good, send him here. The builder didn’t put a real ground in our house. Just connected the ground to the neutral buss.

One funny thing though. The NA way of switching up for On was driving him nuts, so he switched them all around.
Now when he has visitors in they are the one’s confused by having to flick the switches down for On. :laugh:

Most people are shocked when they find out that I’m not a very good electrician. :)

It should read "you were doing great but I see you played a Thunderbird with a pick". ;)View attachment 5263427
Honestly I am weary of the disrespect for the pick....... even in jest. I use both pick and fingers, even been known to slap and pop on occasion. It's good to be versatile, I always let the music dictate my approach.

390km.....that's like 50-60 miles? :unsure:

Advantage: freight. Lotta LTL. Cubed out, never 'grossed' out.

That's what I have now. Most I've had in a little box is 18k or so, about 30k in a big box. Sometimes like 3k in the big 53 :facepalm:

The new dedicated run I started recently tends to run 24k-28k, normally in a big box, but it goes across the mountain, through donner's pass, into NV - be nice to have a 13 for it!


Getting close to refin, but til then. What d'you think¿

I'll let you know after a few "votes" xD my plan is to paint the covers black, while the rings would be red with the trace of the tree roots in black.

Rings! :thumbsup:

Almost totally agree. I mostly use fingers; pick where appropriate, but no S&P. (A) wouldn't fit our repertwah... er, repuhtwar..., no, uh...song list! And(2), I have a bone spur thingy on the outside of my thumb(slap-OW!)

Lightest I ever had was in the 1.5k range. Full 40 footer(shows how long ago) of styrofoam sheets to make coolers.
