I hate them, at least for dealing with leaves. Gimme a rake any day.

Yeah. But for cleaning the garage and dealing with pine needles up at the mountain place, they’re golden.

Small stage for a lot of headstocks.

Only four…
Was this before Billy Powell joined, or is he just out of photo?

 

[Miles_ONeal]

And moves them, too.

No. He pays someone to pay someone to move them.

Not as much. I think it's obvious that the song craft developed via "Love Me Do" and "Help" made "Norwegian Wood" and "Drive my Car" but I don't like the former songs as much.

I’ve been having fun with the early stuff lately.

Months in the making… just took possession 10 minutes ago…

Baby had a Christmas recital earlier in the day so we moved my son’s drum lesson to much later than usual …. Been running since 9am…. If you have never seen toddlers dancing to Brenda Lee and Jose Feliciano, you really should…

Congrats!

always wondered why that percentage is so different in Europe or Asia…

Ask my thoughts at the GTG if you like. Taboo topics here.

Your name isn’t Wiily W? Oh the humanity

That bill of sale is from 1977. Previous owner.

no white Peaveys…

Before they had money or were given free amps I guess.

For a moment I thought that the trucks were “International” brand.

The reverse should be 10 13/16” from the middle of the lower 12th fret to the mid line of the neck pickup.

That measurement on my BaCH NR II is 10 5/8ths. So 3/16ths closer to the fretboard.

Did this.... Other than being heavy, the '76 and it's sidwinders + Rotos sounded absolutely fantastic. Tinted windows really make it look yellow.
(Per previous post comments, I was fully clothed and wore no make up. In case anyone was wondering.)

 

[Miles_ONeal]

pretty close…

Every time, I think I need to take and post a “Let’s do this!” photo. And every time, I forget.

Speaking of clones, I'm gonna start cloning deer. I wanna make a quick buck.

I'll see myself out

I think whatever you were drinking Friday wore off....

Higher proof whisky has some flavour, but you need to add water before drinking to bring the alcohol content down and make it more drinkable.

Just buy Seagram's then. When I drank, I never got watering down good stuff. Personal preference, I know, just wasn't for me.

Everclear pretty much put me off hard liquor.

Is there a story.....?

Not as many as Scott. Or Geddy.

Seagram's

Noooo! The ice will bring the proof down but also lower the aromatics evaporation. You’ll have less aromatics going to your nose when you drink (which is 80% of the flavour) while chilling your taste buds and lowering their ability to taste the remaining 20%.
Saying that, I always put Jack Daniel’s (and similar) on ice to lessen the trash flavour.

Lots of assumptions in that method.
Biggest one is that I can’t for the life I me drink any fluid at or near room temperature. I don’t care what it is, it has to be either freezing cold or boiling hot or I choke on it. So tap water in room temperature bourbon is a non starter for me. A single large ice cube in a tumbler with a shot or two of bourbon works just fine for me. If I were doing wine or liquor tasting for a living I might very well subscribe to your method but since I’m not I’ll just enjoy it like the non bourbon snob that I am, on the rocks or maybe even (god forbid) chilled in the fridge first.
Get your hands on a bottle of Eagle Rare and let me know if you still feel the need to add water.

That's all subjective. I get what you're saying, but I rarely put water in it.

Can’t say I ever have, unless I thought it was way too high an alcohol content to actually enjoy. In which case I just wouldn’t buy it, problem solved.

Seagrams - things that make you go eech!
