BTW @JJR58, not sure that forking out for a supporting membership is helping in your quest to save for a Bird. Hmmm?

Uh-oh.

I actually tried to find an equivalent to Sydney (distance from eq basically plus near coast) on google maps or something!(not scientific at all), sometime ago.
San Diego was it basically. I know nothing about any other factors of that town and environs though.
Is it in the 'fall off the map when the next big quake hits' zone?

San Fran is Sydneys 'sister city', maybe a little off.

Just for fun, not moving anytime soon.

I always think of Sydney as a more tropical version of Seattle. Take the beach thing and hot weather from Southern California and graft it onto Seattle and you get Sydney, more or less.

 

[JJR58]

uh... ok.
Now I'm even more confused... but that's ok... just hurry up & get your new toy so we can all see!

I will clarify.
Tbird has one on order.

If it's illegal in Texas and Alabama, I probably already did it. It's the stuff that's legal there and nowhere else that I want no part of.

. . . I haven't missed the Sonics for a moment, besides we have the Seahawks and the Sounders.

Don't get me wrong, I was a Sonics basketball fan but THE Sonics (the band) are/were a far more important product of "the other" Washington!

 

[Gaolee]

Not actually.

1. I'm not from 'round here.

2. There's an invisible line which runs down this country. On the eastern side, lies New South Wales (and the Australian Capital Territory) and Queensland. On the other side, there is the rest ... and really, we don't care what they get up to - that includes AFL.

So, that makes you an invasive species. Got it.

And, Aussie Rules is on the wrong side of the line. I think we already knew that, even without knowing what those guys are trying to accomplish.

We all know TBird's gettin' a T-bird (which I'm sure will be shared with all, shortly after arrival).
You're getting' one that you will hopefully share as well... right?

Before I express interest... I'll need to hear more about these rituals...

I liked Hawai'i for the couple of weeks I've spent there, The Monterey/Santa Cruz area appeals (not that I've been but I have seen Lost Boys) ... but on the nearside Vancouver and Victoria do it for me (I was there in mid summer).

Monterey and Santa Cruz can get pretty... bleak, during the non-summer months. I went to school there.

To each their own. Just not my cup of tea.



It probably has something to do with growing up in a classic car family. Learned young that a car with original paint is worth a lot more than one that has been repainted. And not all refinished/repainted guitars/cars are done equally. Then there's also the technical side, if the previous layer was not stripped off it can affect the tone of the instrument.


I like shiny paint and I like worn paint, even matte paint, as long as it's original
And not factory "relic'd" paint

I guess I just don't get it. It's just paint. Nothing mystical about it.

My 4001 was a stripped carcass when I got it.

What?! 150 Shades of Gray?

Seattle is a very cool city, but so is Portland, OR and San Francisco - Vancouver, BC has to be one the most beautiful as well.
There's so much to do here that I haven't missed the Sonics for a moment, besides we have the Seahawks and the Sounders.

You sher do make it sound purdy!

San Francisco used to be cool. Now Oakland is quite a bit cooler.

*WHEW* THAT was harder than it shoulda been!

That's ok... I'm only familiar with one of those acronyms anyway!

What? No Cherry?!? That's unacceptable!

Yeah? I vote Cherry or Ebony, white would be my 3rd choice.

Were my opinion to matter to the good folks at Gibson/Epi... my choice in order of preference, would be clear gloss over mahogany, cherry, sunburst, white, black. As long as we're in fantasy land... let's put a telephone poll neck on it, and make a NR version too!

Hottest day of the year and my air conditioning is messing up. Awesome.
