One thing I really like about western Washington state is the fact that there are very few, creepy crawly poisonous stingamajigs here.

 

[GonePlaid]

All I can say is wow. . . and do they bite?

IDK-they run when you approach them.

As long as they don't run after you!

Well, you must have rattlesnakes, and scorpions in the eastern deserts? They're creepy and crawly enough for me.

They seem to like to eat fire ants, which is A-OK with me.

Like all things there (should be) a torque spec. It is unwise to crank hard down on any bolt/screw lest you strip threads or cause other damage. Having said that, being that the whole point of a musical instrument is to vibrate, things should be tightened up occasionally. My own routine is to check screws/bolts as part of maintenance when I change strings.

I use blue Locktite. Don't use the red kind unless you want to use a heat gun every time you need to change anything.

 

[Gaolee]

Strings need to be changed?

No. What would make you think that?

Not so sure about scorpions, the rattlers aren't really even that common, but here on the wet side we have none of them.

Rumor....

Hey Engle, thanks for posting the Wall of Voodoo video. It brought back fond memories of college, when MTV was new (to me at least), and they played music videos. I admit I haven't watched it in years, but at the time it seemed quite entertaining. Mexican Radio always made me smile.

My wife and I have been learning Spanish, which means the radio in my van is tuned to Ciento Dos punto Nueve! Effe Emme! La Zeta! It started out being completely incomprehensible, but now, I can understand snippets of things as they go roaring past. It's amazing how entertaining obnoxious commercials can be when they are in a language you are trying to learn.

My maintenance routine brings me great joy*. Don't mess with it!



* meaning I have a system, it works for me, and I fear that if I disrupt it I will forget something, like installing the G string**.


** Ahem.

Rumor....

Don't discount rumours. That is how we are getting a NR VP from Epiphone in Pelham blue, Inverness Green, White, Vintage Cherry, and Ebony.

Just home from singing Carols followed by Midnight Mass. it’s officially well into (1:54am) Christmas Day here.

Merry Christmas!!!

We have about 14 hours before the evening service and then sleep. Tomorrow, all kinds of relatives will be at our house eating roast pork and vegetables. That's pretty much a perfect few hours in my opinion. Merry Christmas back to you and everyone else.

Keep your hands off my G string!

I Don't know was on third.
I Don't Care was the short stop.

I plan to learn Spanish when I retire at the end of January, so that I know what Spanish-speaking people are saying behind my back!

Who said anything about using hands?

Since I didn't use the 2nd "u", it doesn't count against the "soon to be released" RI, NR, VP, TBII/IV in above colo(u)rs.

The last time I was in Miami, there was an enormous iguana hanging out on a patch of grass near downtown. It would have made a pretty decent barbecue, at least from a volume standpoint.
