Being a man, lacking in patience and discretion I need support. My patience has been pushed to its limits waiting for the VP Birds to arrive, yet can readily get my hands on a new Gibson. Why wait? Yes the VP has the chrome and, of course, the price tag. But! There's something about being able to look up and see the name " Gibson" scrawled across the face of that headstock that makes the blood rush to funny, funny places. As the young lady said once

Buy both :D
 
25.5 C forecast for the swamp today, partly cloudy. Cat that lives in a tree and has no tail don't care...

Also doesn't require having his nails clipped or claw anything he shouldn't. Apparently whoever his mother was taught him the rules...feral cats are like that.

A cat that lives in a tree, and lost it's tail and part of it's ear, probably hasn't cared about things like weather in a very long time.
 
This is the top side of the planet (the one where the toilets flush in the right direction BTW) , he's on the correct side of the road.

'Top side' only because the map makers came from up your end. It all depends on your perspective. What you call 'down under', some of us prefer to think of as 'up over'.

I assume his ear was clipped when they took his balls. The tail, I dunno, he still twitches his butt where it used to be. Showed up about two years ago, always keeping distance. Until one cold day I put out some 5 year old dry food for him I'd kept in the fridge since the wild dogs got Buzz, king of the feral cat 'hood until that point. With the battle scars to prove it.

Top of the food chain feral males have about a three year life span. They eventually get knocked off by a younger male or infection from a fight. This one's got a bit more sense, that's why he lives in a tree. No drive to procreate helps.
 
Nice t-shirt and shorts weather out today, eh. A brisk 21.4*F, for anyone outside of the US (except my parents that still use Fahrenheit) it's -5.9*C. For @PillO that's 267.25 people named Kelvin. Let's add Rankine to that too, which would be 481.07*R View attachment 2852606



Let's hop in the dozer and do brodies in your yard!
 
I figured we could just claim that it wasn't our fault they got hit in the kneecaps with our Thunderbirds. Everyone knows these things are neck diving monsters. We just instinctively let go of the necks long enough to cover our faces in self defense, and pow, there went our TBirds tight into their kneecaps. In fact, we should plan a counter suit asking for reparations to fix all the headstocks they broke on our Birds.;)

I was a bassist like you, until I took a headstock to the knee....

Actually, if I had to choose a specific bass for a bar fight weapon it would absolutely be a Dan Armstrong Clear Lucite bass. Heavy as hell, durable enough for multiple beatings and see through so you can enjoy the look on the poor suckers face as it smashes into into your bass. :D

Peavey T Series. Your argument is invalid.
 
Watertown, SD to Nashville, TN is one of the most long and boring drives a human can endure

Have you made the drive from Arizona to Louisiana? Almost 24 hours of Texas with little to change the view. I hate that drive. There are pretty parts of Texas but they don't seem to be on that route.

And by the way it has finally cooled off here in the desert so it will only hit about 65 degrees F today. It was down to 28 the other nite so it is getting into winter weather.

Before my time is up I want to get my kicks on old Route 66, does that factor into any part of Arizona to Louisiana?.

It's rough out in the 'hood, it's a dog eat dog... cat eat cat world out there! Looks like he's been eating pretty good though.
There's a feral cat under my shed this year, and a lack of mice near the house. Haven't got a good look at him yet though.

From what I heard around here, feral cats don't live long because the coyotes get to them.
