Yes!
I was going to say that since Thunderbirds are clearly more important, it should be "T-Birds & Bedframes"; but then I realized the rule 34 potential with Grease...so I decided to mention it, and point that out? :thumbsdown:



That is both true, and false. Kinda like some weird quantum state.

It's true, in that imo this is clearly the way it should properly be done.
It's false in that I've intended to do this for at least a decade....:facepalm:
(one of the center slats wouldn't stay put on its own. Gotta do them all! :rollno: )

I had a similar situation. Put a strap and ratchet across the middle of the bed frame. Vwahlah...., no, viola..., no, that's a fat fiddle......eureka!

I have the same system and really like it. I have another 4 ft section that I can hang but it suddenly sounds like we are house hunting so I am not going to hang it up soon. Here is a bad, outdated shot. Now there is nothing but Birds hanging on the wall.

How many do you suppose you could fit in an 8’ stretch if they were angled 45 or 90 degrees?

New parts can be bad even when brand new. I have had a couple instances of brand new pots being bad fresh from the package. Wired them up (Well, someone that knew what they were doing did.) and nothing would happen. Cleaned up the connections and re-soldered, no change. Swapped out the pot and everything worked fine.

I learned the hard way building and repairing amps to test every component I can before installing it.

Good morning Thunderbird loving sisters and brothers from smokey Spokane. Taking a short break from the grind, and decided to finally open the new tuner I bought a couple weeks ago as my old clip on tuner has disappeared. Wife is away so the 335 migrated from the man cave to the living room. I usually down tune it a bit when not in use, and thought the clip on would get close enough for practice. Very surprised by the warning on the front of the instructions not to use on any Gibson guitar. My old tuner was a different brand and had no such warning. Not one to leave it on the guitar anyway, but surprised nonetheless. Wondered if anyone has used these themselves. Stay well everyone, have a great day.

I prefer pedal tuners, so nope. Hmmm. NITROcellulose. Maybe they make the headstock explode off faster.

Persistent tracking. Even after you leave the site, it keeps sending information back on what sites you are visiting. Facebook does the same. It is a "feature" of some browsers as well - sending browsing data back to various parties.

Creepy. Then think - if you are visiting your bank website and checking balances what gets sent back? Then it is very creepy, bordering on criminal creepy (cyber-stalking). There is tracking protection software available. But then you won't get ads for shipping containers if you start looking at commercial shipping sites.

Yeah, if I ever start online banking, I'll have a special browser used only for that. If.
