Thunderbird Club

This is my general fav that I keep coming back to. There are a few local blends that are really good, but I have this several times a week. I believe Ken likes one or more of Peet's offerings.

I pretty muck quit cold turkey during the pandemic because I was drinking way too much of the stuff. That was a favorite.

Well The Man with the Golden Gun was…. Ok.

It did feature some Holdens in the background with many many Toyota Crowns. But it also had a seemingly all AMC car chase. The baddies in a Matador X coupe, Bond in a Hornet coupe (which did a jump with spin) and the local cops in Matadors painted as black n whites.
Thailand is a RHD country with traffic driving on the left… except for all the American cars that were LHD (those I noticed anyway); the general traffic was on the left except in part of the chase when it seemed they were on the right hand side of the road.
Oh the Matador X reversed into a set of plane wings and motor setup and was able to fly away with Miss Goodnight in the boot.

Wanted to give a shout out to my luthier bro Neil Sargent out of Houston, Texas. Dude lives in his shop- has a dorm fridge, a hot plate, and a microwave.

We hit it off owing to a common appreciation for sci/fi and redheads.

These days I mostly go to his place just to visit and have lunch, and discuss aforementioned subjects-

But last week I took in my new TBird in for a Hipshot Xtender install along with my Steinberger XT2-DB which needed a trussrod adjustment and action lowering-

It took him about ten minutes to do each- when I asked how much-

“Ten bucks”

I gave him a 20 despite his protests stating that though we be friends, it’s his living-

Also, a while back a gave him an Acoustic BB-20 (12 inch speaker if you can believe that!) on permanent loan for bass customers’ sound checks to supplement the Vox combo he had for guitars-

And hooked him up with this 24 x 36 poster-

There’s my bro holding a 1960 or so Gibson ES175 with pickups that had the PAF stickers on them-

My birds backside, very shapely!

Who doesn’t like a shapely backside- I admit I’m a little shy regarding my new Thunderbird- after all we just met-

However I feel a bit more comfortable sharing this pic of my German girlfriend Eva Karr-Bronck.

Here you see her in the prone position receiving a much needed 9 volt transfusion for her active electrics-
