Maybe they need a heart attack.

My house is painted dark green, with pale yellow trim and red window sashes and a red front door. Our neighbors to the north have a dark blue house, with white trim and a green front door. Our neighbors to the south recently painted their house purple with white trim and a blue front door. I like all the colors a lot.

HOAs. Good and bad. They can be ticky tacky.

I ignored the letters when they griped about the basketball hoop we had when the kids were young. They knocked on the door once. I told them what my profession was and they backed off. No way they could enforce the stupid rule against it. Similarly, they complained and sent letters when I didn’t overseed my front lawn during the winter during a couple of the severe drought years. I told them to 7 off. There was actually legislation in effect that said such rules were unenforceable. But they have kept a thirty+ year old community looking pretty much brand new. 24/7 security patrol. I don’t complain

Our mountain place HOA is decent. Except for some of the idiots on the board and loudmouth complainers. Close to 4k lots. Probably 50% weekender or otherwise absentee owners (almost all of whom are from L.A., including some celebrities).
7 million annual budget. Annual assessment is basically 2k per year per lot. Some loudmouths complain about the cost. But they’re nuts. There’s a nice pool (open Memorial Day through Labor Day), tennis courts, a golf course, a decent restaurant (subsidized) with fair prices, an equestrian center, a waste transfer station, a contract post office run by the HOA, a nice road maintenance crew, a very nice park, and an awesome security patrol with great employees. Frankly, it’s the best kept secret in the SoCal mountains.

My favorite quote, “not all HOAs are bad, but all are one vote away from tyranny.”

I have a 1980's era Fender Longhorn Jazz bass that someone replaced the Fender logo sculpted paddles with a set of Hipshots, that don't fit properly. I've looked in vain to find a vintage set of originals, just looked again and still no luck. The Guyker's are a close looking match but have screws instead of the hidden pins, of the originals. The search continues.

Anything like these in the TB Classifieds?

Been thinking about it more than once. Jag, no guard, tele or 60s j control plate, maple tele neck... would be so nice.

But I need to get my bird finished first and I also have a classic p in the making with a t bird pickup....
