Aha! Small pic on my phone so it wasn’t obvious. That makes far more sense.Serial number is stamped on the rear of the headstock as normal for a modern Bird. Only numbers on my pickguard are the 1963-2013 dates.

A lot better.Green Acres pt 2?
What the bottle opener? Funny I haven’t used that in forever since I stopped buying beer in bottles. I always pour it in a glass, and cans are crushed, while bottles take up space in the bin.Very nice! But what does the high tech gadget do on the end (side) of the workbench?

Might be hard to play as is, but should be fixable by MJT, does not look structural, probably just cosmetic.I love it. I'm excited to get it in my hands and begin bonding with it. As for the finish cracking on the neck, I'm moderately concerned. I spoke with two techs over there, and they both stated that it was all finish, no structural. But it looks bad. MJT is local to me, and they could probably get it back and make the fix invisible, but I suppose I will cross that bridge when I have an extra arm and leg. Attached is the photo of the HORRIBLE spot on the bass, for anyone who wants to:
1. Call me an idiot for buying it.
2. Tell me "everything is going to be ok."
3. Offer advice on a potential fix.

Yeah, I didn’t care much for this show BUT at times I really could see some older Irish women from when I was a kid. He does nail some of the attitude and phrases at times. But mostly it’s over the top.Mrs Brown’s Boys. Comedy. We can only take so much of it at a time, but ymmv.
I believe it’s a carbonated beverage seal de stabilizer
The Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Britt were really good.Yeah, I didn’t care much for this show BUT at times I really could see some older Irish women from when I was a kid. He does nail some of the attitude and phrases at times. But mostly it’s over the top.
IMO the “Who Do You Think You Are” episode on his family was excellent. Very moving as he/they investigate the murder of his Grandfather.
Arnold was the show. Arnold was the man! I mean pig...Arnold stole scenes despite never having the best lines.
I recall seeing him in something else once, but don't have a clue was it was.Just looked it up. Good ol’ Clavdivs!

That was the one we found. My wife likes the murder/cop shows, but I get tired of it.This is a decent show without police, murder, etc…
