Thunderbird Club

Dave’s is one of my favs too.

Dave calls Thunderbirds "Thunder-turds"

I don't mean to be indelicate Ken, but are they equally benign on the way out?

Totally valid question. I don't remember, so probably the answer is yes. But I'll try and do more experimenting for you. Science, and all.

Here's a set of Probucker 760s for about $250.

And possibly a fried OT.

What the HE Double Hockey sticks? Raw?


Ingesting them is bad enough, the exit is equally fearsome - No, no thank you.

I eat fresh habaneros at times. It's not something you do without a bit of practice. What you have to be aware of is that the oils do not wash off your hands. That causes pain in other places. My wife thought it was very funny when I took a leak after handling extra hot peppers. I didn't think it was so funny at the time. Like usual, she was correct and it took a while for me to understand this.

Not bad with some of those habaneros.

Thankfully I learned from someone else’s story that you touch NOTHING after handling peppers until properly washing hands.

Thank you for the reminder. I had seen these before and had them in consideration for my Forever Build then promptly forgot it. You reminded me and the price is just to good to pass that tone up. It's coming to my house because I need that one pickup, plus I get spare parts, and who knows, maybe the neck is repairable. I'm next to positive it is, as I (we all have) seen far worse come back from the grave.

So this one reminded you to buy the damaged one? (and it sounds like you did) I considered that one myself for similar reasons but decided to pass.

Fork? or toothpick?(just a thought)

It's an internal mapping and timing technique.

 

[Gaolee]

That's one reason I jumped on it!

You own all the NRs and now you are going to corner the market for lightweight VPs. Clever man!

As some of us consider one of the pups to be superfluous, ya could always sell one of them.

Proper washing doesn't necessarily solve the problem.
