Yep, the cart path was steep. It had just rained. Several of the cart paths were strangely slippery. Skidded down the path sideways coming up on two wheels before stopping.Of all the things you've ever said, I tend to place this one in the "truth" column with no reservation.![]()
Well that was quite a diversion. Found out that a former Coronation St. star is homeless, and that Harry and Meghan have no friends in Hollywood.Careful where you chase your balls on this golf course
Now that's what you call a water hazard! Flooding brings killer sharks to golf course
I remember hearing about that. For the record, I've never been attacked by gators, sharks, snakes, gophers or even flying headstocks while Thunderbirding. Much safer.Careful where you chase your balls on this golf course

Sure is. I lived a a block from Churchill Downs as a kid. We would find a golf ball and stand in my next door neighbor's yard and see if we could get them across two streets to the Downs. It can be done. Sometimes.... "Run!"Smacking one with a baseball bat is fun too.
I'll take two of those!Especially the talent knobs that go to 11. I need all the help I can get!!
Yes they are! Looks great! (Good pic as well. I need practice or something.)Played my newly acquired vintage pro this past Sunday. Loved it. Great bass.

The self-appointed fact checkers corrected your post. They may be on to something with this one.Well that was quite a diversion. Found out that a former Coronation St. star is homeless, and that Harry and Meghan have no friendsin Hollywood.
For sure. I enjoyed reading that!No Thunderbirds (alas) but still some really cool reminiscing about Larry Knechtel from his son, Lonnie, right here on TalkBass. On stage with Howling Wolf ad the Stones! Karen Carpenter. Simon & Garfunkel. Bread. Rick Rubin sessions. And on and on and on. Wrecking Crew member. I think Lonnie wins a Seriously Cool Dad award.

Any time my pleasure! it's rather astounding just how long we've known each other online and how much we have in common. Speaking of generosity in the course of our recent pickup exchange I was surprised by a nice assortment of goodies swag from Seattle Lighting ( the fleece jacket had a rather surprising effect on my wife!) and a number of books on my other favorite subject WWII aviation. So thank you my friend!I have to start something here that won't get finished right away, more as I have time to actually do the work.
Getting home yesterday after a long day at the rockpile was a treat, I had a parcel from our own Scott @godofthunder59 - with a wonderful surprise inside!
I'll share much more when I get the chance to actually mount this to my new '64. Meantime, I just want to say publicly what a nice guy Scott is - The Real Deal.

Wow! That’s the skinniest bass body and the biggest headstock I’ve ever seen on a bass.

Your house must be located in Area 51 where weird things happen and normal laws of physics cease to exist. Or do you really live in the Bermuda triangle?
I think you guys are messing with me. Every time I go in a music store I ask about them having Talent Simulators in stock I get a funny look and they say they haven't heard of them. I tell them I saw them right here on the internet.
