I'm with you - peanut butter and jelly/jam is just too sweet. What I could never understand was kids at school that ate peanut butter and honey..

Peanut butter and and honey is good. Because just about anything with honey is gooder with it!

Peanut butter on a slightly tart apple is also real good.

Yeah just cause there is a bunch of food, you don’t actually need to eat it all! It’s hard to break those old habits.
Good thing for me - we have a Whippet puppy. He won’t have any issues with long walks.

I'm not familiar with that concept...

I grew up being told to "clean your plate or there will be no dessert".

Tart apples are the best. I like a granny smith; especially if I can put a little lemon juice on it.

Me, too. 'Cept I'd clean it twice.

Isn't a whippet a racing dog - related to greyhounds?

Greyhounds make good apartment dogs as they need to exercise every day, but they just need to go to a park, run "laps" for up to a mile then they are done for the day and are happy to be a couch potato.

I don’t know what the fingerboard on my VP is. (Built late 17)
It sure doesn’t look like any kind of Rosewood.
At first I thought it was synthetic, but there is some variation in the grain/pores.
On some instruments, I clean up the fingerboard with 0000 steel wool, apply lemon oil, and marvel at the beauty. With the VP, it’s just some brown wood.

Maybe it started life as a pallet and was dyed?

Yeah, all reinforced in the army. When food is presented, eat as much as you can as fast as you can because you never know when you will get another hot meal.

We also knew who were only children; they couldn't eat fast.

The ‘17 I have is rosewood.

My '17 is really dark (like to RW), but the white '18 is light and verges on looking like paneling. I'm exaggerating a little but it's an odd looking "wood."

Should be 9 ply (not counting the wings). I haven't counted mine in a long time, but pretty sure it is 9. My burst VP is 9 as well, like Gibson.

Ok, in that case there are actually 11 "laminates" as the wings can be considered laminated to the neck-thru.

Aren't you sweet!

I'm dieting and working out 3X a week, sugar and PB are verboten, although I can have plain peanuts. Time for some new dresses!

My wife would freak at the best by date. I’d still eat it.

 

[JIO]

I'm to the point that I almost, almost - like working out, I still have to mentally kick my butt into doing it, but after not working out at all for at least 40 years I did expect this to be a bit of a battle, as is learning how to eat like an adult.

It's like a lot of regiments/routines - after starting doing (whatever) for a short time (20 minutes... varies) you "get into it", and once you are into it you follow the regiment for a prescribed period of time. The result over time is the reward but the actual routine is always a task. Working on learning a new song at home or just brushing up on old material is like that also - once into it, time flies.

Yes, but for some reason those never get counted. But 11 sounds better from a woodworking perspective (in most cases)!

They are truly a work of art in more ways that one.

It's pretty easy to determine if peanut butter is rancid. (smell) Once opened it's in the fridge and it isn't going anywhere other than on bread!

Exercise won't ever be fun the learning a new song on the bass is for me, but it's become part of my weekly routine and I do feel and look much better than I did, say two years ago.

I would be spooning that, no bread

It may have been one of the earliest examples of multi-lam done in that way. (as later woody-woodchuck Alembic's etc) As far as multi-lam as a structural technique - before Phil Kiubicki's hard-rock maple multi-lam necks came '60s Japanese short-scale necks made that exact way. Nothing's new to a point.
