Morning number 702

I am not a number, I am a ghost driving a meat-covered skeleton made from stardust!

 

[Kriegs]

Morning Kriegs, I'm only joshing

Nice to meet you Joshing, and please, don't call me Shirley.

Morning number 702

I believe it is pronounced inmate #702

Cursing Parrot?..This reminds me of how I have to correct some of my employees when they do stupid stuff....

Beautiful! How do you like your HipShot?

I'm a bit biased, as I am a Hipshot endorsed artist, but, that being said, I love it. There may not be anything fundamentally wrong with the stock 3-point bridge, but the Hipshot feels more solid, and is much easier to adjust . I also have Ultralites with mini-clovers to help with the notorious neck dive on these.

Thank you Christine. I’m feeling confident, who knows - I may feel different tomorrow

Same here for @RedVee.
Speedy and successful recovery.

Gotta love Linda! Of the bunch, she was the one you could bring home and introduce to mom and dad.

That Linda, oh, what a looker in her day, and that voice!!!

Nice! It looks great either way, but I’d go with the rings.

If you're asking for advice, I'd say with is the clear winner, to my eyes

My uncle past away last Wednesday night. So needless to say I've been off the grid.

I see there's about 40 pages or so to look at.
Not sure I can tackle that right now.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.

It's an air/oil cooled engine. No radiator to provide hot air to the defroster vents. Instead, as odd as it sounds, the exhaust manifold has a sheetmetal duct surrounding it that provides hot air from the outside surface of the exhaust manifold to the passenger compartment. If you have a cracked exhaust manifold or bad manifold gasket you're gonna get wonderful exhaust fumes into the passenger compartment via the air ducts.

Just like the old beetle

So sorry for your loss, Jeff. You have my most sincere, heartfelt condolences. May he rest in peace.

As far as "keeping up with this board"... I gave up weeks ago and do not even try when I check in. I go right to the last page and keep up during the day the best I can. Had Miles not posted, I would have missed your uncle's passing and that may have appeared to you or others as if I chose not to comment. That's the risk I take with my new approach to this "club" and it has its pitfalls.

Again, so sorry to hear this news but glad I caught the post so I could express my sentiment. Take care, friend.

 

[Engle]

I was going to continue where i left off..................
Now i see i don't have to.

Well you missed some fawning over rock babes from the 70's and 80's...

Don't think i missed that. My eyes are always open for the rock babes.

Hey Larry, no worries at all my friend. I never view a non-comment/reply to any of my posts as a negative.
You're a good man!!

I just want to wish @RedVee all the best for his op tomorrow to remove his thyroid. Remember, strictly no pirate impressions with a that scar! No ARRRGGGGHHHHs nothing

Hurry back to us Red!

(I think you'll find that the Aviary is a great place to pass the time as you recover)

It looks great either way, but I’d go with the rings.

That would amount to a proposal of marriage over here
