A nice tow car as well.
HSV Maloo R8 Ute. If badging is correct it has a Chev LSA engine.

I'd like to have the Ute!
No place to drive the race car.

Couldn't resist.

Yes, a cord of wood and a rick are some of the most unusually used names for their respective thing. Possibly made more sense 200 yrs ago. ("Hands" for horse height kind of thing.)

Hay used to come in ricks.
Now it comes in rolls.
I guess its been rick-rolled.

Glorious Gibson Greetings from the North…

Left to right…
1979 Bicentennial run, 10 or less Ebony that year - super expressive, whisper soft to amp clip scream without changing the volume knob
1991 special run of about 6 three pickup Tbirds, maybe the only one in Cardinal Red - solid mids all day long
2021 first year for the second Gibson Non Reverse reissue series (first was a limited run of 400 in 2012) - modern sound, full neck
2013 Thunderbird 50th anniversary limited run of 400 in Bullion Gold - creamy rich notes slathered in bottom end
2015 single year offering with DiCola pickups, coil switching, and Babicz bridge - solid modern player, gotta take your time dialing it in

'64 Thunderbird, Ashdown, SWR.

From last night, we played well but I don't mind saying I was really gassed by the time we were done, each hand cramped once as did my right foot - Good times!

Love it. Sounding great, V. Maybe eat more bananas.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Those look at little out of line. Maybe my eyes are wonky.

Not necessarily an exclusive or…

Maybe drink something like Gatorade before if that's common. The potassium could help with that, and the hydration aspect. Potassium can help relax muscles.

That’s sound medical advice as given by doctors for sports medicine. Including bicycle riding. Gatorade and bananas are key for me.

 

[Miles_ONeal]

Hah! I know. But I like to pretend.

We have forced central heating and a/c. But because we are exempt from air quality regs, we use the almond to supplement during the winter and save on propane and electricity. The almond gets burned anyway at co-gen plants. So I tell myself I’m not adding to the carbon emissions. We’ll use about 3/4 of a cord, depending on the weather, from late October through April. Probably saves us about a grand or so. Although given my hourly rate, and all the time it takes, we’re probably in the hole. But it’s good exercise moving and stacking, and it gives me a sense of accomplishment.

A retired hourly rate?

Very nice indeed! But next time can you please not block the equally stunning Ampeg!

“As a measure of wood of 128 cubic feet (eight feet long, four feet high and wide) first recorded 1610s, so called because it was measured with a cord of rope.”

Fun fact: The ancient Greek word for "sound" in this context is ὑγιαίνω and is where we get our word hygiene from.
The other unrelated word for sound is φωνή which where we get the word group phone. Both are basically transliterations into English.

Are you suggesting Marshall bills himself in 15 minute increments, or less?

 

[MCF]

A retired hourly rate?

Yeah. I suppose. $16.50. Far cry from what it was before.

 

[Stealth57]

While actually having a junior staff member do the work.

The second is a bit more obvious.

Sounds GOOD...nice crowd.

I'm digging that amp! On some decent speakers I like how that combination rides in mix, when the song quiets down to just the bass and kick drum you can hear what I was getting. It was a gas to play that old Bird out, kind of loud on a big stage - it was worth every dollar that I paid for it!

I recall Frank gave you a bit of a push on that one
