Our early settlers had a penchant for naming things with obvious names (eg we have a big desert - the Great Sandy Desert)... guess what he is called?
thats right, a Blue Tongue Lizard

Indeed! I need another Thunderbird, life is short!
Scientists are funny. The Sixgill Shark is so named because they have, well, six sets of gills. Most sharks and rays have five sets.We have one these nice little fellas

I was playing catch with my dad, caught the ball and fell on a fire ant mound.I wont get into the time when I was 3 years old, living in St. Cloud Florida, and decided to step on a fire ant hill. No I won't go there!![]()
Yeah, it is kinda old and worn out. I will be happy to take it off your hands to clear space for a much nicer new one. It is a service I provide.View attachment 3642497 ....life isn‘t too short, but it’s just an old bass (and only a ‘65.....) ....happy holidays to everyone....
Yep. Way too subtle.I dunno, is it turning out too subtle?
what pots and caps are y’all liking for the stock Gibson pickups? I’m going to wire her vol/blend/tone.

Woo! Outta my realm of knowledge.Blend. I’ve always had in my mind that I wouldn’t like it because when on the midpoint the output is reduced.
Q1: is that even correct ?
Q2: now thinking that may be the same as having both pickups ‘on 10’. The output is reduced then also ?
so, same same ?

At this point if it happens, I may buy a couple of them.And Burgundy Mist Metallic. If they paint them Burgundy Mist Metallic, they will sell at least one.
Poison Oak. Child’s play. It is everywhere on the Cali Central coast where I grew up. My brother would look at it and get a breakout. I could eat the stuff with no problem. I’m a mutant I guess.Very little poison ivy or poison oak, either. After Ohio, it's paradise that way.

As opposed to the rest of the year?

There is this nasty smelling white powder called Orthene that will wipe out a nest in about 3 hours. I make a fire ant patrol around my yard every other day. They don't last long. I can 'powder' them at 10 AM, go play my THUNDERBIRD and come back in an hour to watch them kicking their last.The first time I remember discovering fire ants was on vacation in Mississippi probably around 6 years old. I didn't understand why my feet kept burning when I would be playing in the grass. Coming from Ohio I had never seen or heard of fire ants so it was a surprise to find out there were ants that would bite you. I hate those things!!
