Thunderbird Club

I go weeks avoiding sugar. Then someone brings candy. And I binge. I’m 5’8”, 160. My target is 145. It’ll never happen.

Sure you can, not far off from achieving it.

They are, but all four of you look great here.

Having spent a couple days at Dave’s Estate, I can attest as to the great people they are. Many thanks again Dave for your gracious hospitality. Please come down and spend time at the mountain. Only the bears hear the SVT rig I blast through in the basement.

Anytime I eat Mexican food out I order a 'Mexican' Coke.

The place around the corner from your place that we ate at last month had it. I loved the meal with the Coke. We need to do it again. Sooner as opposed to later.

Cool story....

Awesome! As I am getting back into guitars, slowly but surely, which unfortunately takes away from Thunderbird playing, I want that and a real Tele. And a Hag.

Fresca any day….

It’s ok with a shot of vodka. Otherwise, nope,

We’ll see. That was my sophomore year in high school weight. Benched 220 on a machine. Dead lifted 400. If only. It’ll take a lot of time in the pool, in a gym, and on the road (need to fix the knees first). Falling last July and having the ankle surgery put me way back from the goals of my quest to get back to my former “studom.”

you bring up booze often....

I actually like Fresca once in a while. Seems to help a little if you have some throat/chest congestion. Weird, I know and possibly coincidental.

Add vodka. It’s a low carb cocktail.

What cracks me up in the article is he says 8.5 is heavy.

Well, yeah. And ?. I’ll be 66 in a month. And the current state of affairs in this country sucks. If the currently front running Rebumplican felon is elected, we’re off to Scotland, Ireland, or Spain. We’re starting the process. So there. I’ve said it. I don’t really care. I’m fvcking sick of what this county has become. Hate on me if you will. But I’m on the side of justice, democratic democracy, and the true spirit of America. It is sad that I’m even having to say this. And I’ve not had a drop in months.

The average Strat is around 8 pounds. So it leans a little heavy. But yeah, that's what originally made me want to post here, since an 8.5 pound Thunderbird is dreamy.

I'll dip my toe in…

…my girlfriend and I wish we had this option. Alas, we’ll cast our vote and cross our fingers.

And now, look, something shiny…
Has anyone put a brass nut on their 90’s or later Gibson ‘bird? Thoughts?

Fresca, Tequila, and ice = a Mojito
