Not really, the bacon is good.
You had hippies in the garage? Yeah, burning is the best solution then, otherwise they might get into the house and squat there.
As much as I agree, you must try back bacon or Canadian bacon as those from the US Eh call it. Similar, but different.
actually Austrian..
Don't like em, not keen on their Carlsberg beer either.
Thanks to McDonald's, we're all convinced that Canadian bacon is nothing more than ham... is it more than that?
I saw that one. I wonder if the pickups are actually Bicentennial or just the covers on original pickups. There was a time when a lot of empty 76 Bird pickup covers and rings were available on eBay and that was when people started stripping pickups of the black plastic to give it more of a vintage look (or because they loved chrome). Too bad we can't ask the original owner what the history is.
back bacon, streaky bacon, dry cure and maple smoked, all nice and no I haven't burnt any bass necks
it's not even smoked....besides, you can't eat it with your hands..
Back bacon (Canadian bacon) is very similar to Danish bacon. It is the pork loin (the back rather than the belly), brined and cured then coated in pea meal. Ham is the hind quarters (picnic ham being the shoulder).
Interesting aside - the process for making boneless ham is simple but fascinating.
A hydraulic ram simply pushes the femur through the meat. Instant boneless ham! Takes all of a second or two.
how long ago was that? surplus of 76 covers? wonder where from and why..
Been quite a while since that happened. There was a seller on eBay that had all kinds of excess parts from a Gibson factory. The parts were for quite a few models and but of course the Bird bits were what most of us seemed to focus on. I still have 3 sets of the empty nickle pickup cans with rings as well as 2 vintage RD Artist pickguards. I believe our Queen killed a pickup drilling for the 3rd hole (Ahem!!) and others learned from this and only used the bottom corner screw holes. @godofthunder59 @TBird1958 do you remember how long ago all of this occurred?

Twofer Tuesday. A pair of '65s.
Drummer in RGF stripped the finish off the body of the Polaris White Jr. around 1970 and then traded it in at Lipham's Music on an EB-1 Reissue. A non playing friend of the band bought it from them for $75 and it's pretty much lived in its HSC since then. I caught up with him two weeks ago and offered to give it some TLC. Replacement for missing control cavity cover, reversing the ubiquitous late 60s Grover upgrade and cleaning/oiling the fretboard. Frets are close to perfect above G and a big surprise to find Gibson bound the board and filed the binding to meet each fret end, same as they would have done on a Custom...for what was basically a student guitar. The P-90 sounds SWEET! Same cavity cover as my EB0, the last year before they enlarged all of them to EB 3 spec, so it was easy to cut one.
I bought the EB0 about 10 years ago. The front is sun faded, must have hung in a store window for years.

Hardware Wars is a fave! I think this was just tedious to me because I was severely underwhelmed with AN. But I’m a huge Star Wars geek.
I had a Honda Dream! Man that was a cool bike, mine was red.
