You need to put “work” in quotes. Just sayin’….

I wish I had your “job” and looked forward to going to work.

Ha! Your not wrong about that I've "worked" there on and off since '76, it's a life long association that I treasure. These days I work there Sundays 1-5 aside from sales I do minor setup and repairs, vintage authentication and appraisals, historian, HOG emissary and generally blagg about gear.
My first guitar was bought there in 1967, my first bass in '71. I still have that first bass my folks bought me, a few years I brought it in to do a picture with Bruce Scahbroek one the owners. Btw the bass is a Klira made in West Germany in Bubenruth, same town as Hofner. It's a great bass I love them so much I've acquired 7 over the years.

This may represent a total paradigm shift

Oh and for my fair weather friends

I assume everyone saw this note from Paul: We will be offline from 8am CT to about 11am CT on Tuesday Feb 10th for a system upgrade. Thank you!

I saw that briefly. I'm assuming it should have said Tuesday Feb 11?

I'm liking how the blue silks go with the finish. Sometimes it's the little things.

These are supposed to be fantastic interfaces, as well as being reasonably priced.

Scarlett 4th Generation Audio Interfaces | Focusrite

Introducing the new Scarlett Solo, 2i2 and 4i4 4th Generation. Incredible preamps, colossal dynamic range and re-engineered Air mode for big studio sound.

I've tried GarageBand on mobile and found it really frustrating to use compared to the Mac version. But I don't have an iPad. I have an iPhone and Mac and never saw the need for anything in between.

My new interface is a 4th generation Focusrite Scarlett 18i16. I bought my Saffire Pro40 in 2010 and it still works today as an additional 8 ins/outs to the Scarlett.

Which strings have the blue silks? I know Dean Markley Blue Steels did, but last time I bought any the did not have silks on the ends anymore. Not to mention they seemed to be different (in a not better way) than sets I had that did have silks.

The ones I put on are Rotosound RS66LDN's

Correct!
I just need a Kelpie.

Each boot is made from a single piece of leather, sewn at the back, and with elastic sides and pull tabs. They used to kill me yo get them on but that gets better with use. Yearling leather. Almost a Cuban heel. I have to get a certain variety because it is extra wide, I can’t get into the normal ones. These only come in two colours so now I’ve got both. They should see me out, they have a refurbish offer so they’ll fix them up once they are too tatty to wear.

The only thing I don’t like is the price. Way too much money. I saved gift vouchers up and got them so that it didn’t seem so much $.

If I win lotto I’ll go to Adelaide and take up the made to measure service and have a pair in kangaroo skin.

Kangaroo cowboy boots look great. I will never own any because they are expensive and...and they are just expensive. From what I've seen.

Yes, looks more like an "Up your's" thumb.

Yes. I copied it. I'm also glad I'm not the only one who types weird stuff!

Nah, just a different year.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Yes, looks more like an "Up your's" thumb.

Keep your thumb to yourself!

 

[BklynKen]

Nah, just a different year.

Ah, leap year. That explains it.

Ah, leap year. That explains it.
