Ok: today got busy :)

At 6am made the rounds, and emptied 8 of the 12 snap traps around the house ( fires in the area drove all the Voles to our area) 10 or more vermin EVERY DAY for the last 2 weeks! Neighbors lawns look like the surface of the moon, and the bottom 6” of trees have no bark. JOY!

Starting at 8:
In 6 hours applied greasy Skid mark black base coat, “Warm Beer” flake coat,
Applied candy color coat.
Stood up frame for a 10x20 steel frame canopy for a workspace extension ( floor to be assembled later)
Drank 1/2 gallon of iced Peppermint Tea,
Made more.
Only got a bit of sunburn:)

Will get sides to workspace up tomorrow .

Let the Jazz cure a week, and 2k clear next week!

Next week filing business license.
Commission logo next week also, web domain registration, and site design.

Assemble and test OneFinity CNC by end of this week. ( I hope)
Gig Friday. Whew!

Thinking about buying a Squier Vintage Fretless and installing two extra jazz pickups in the bridge position . :woot: Why ? , because I have a set of pickups sitting on my bench collecting dust and I need something to do .........".Idle hands are the work of the Devil" they say.........I also have $400.00 "burning a hole in my pocket" .:banghead:

It was at the Pacific Amphitheater in Costa Mesa.
Started to rain at the end of W.A.S.P. ‘s set, Michael came out with an umbrella, and asked the crowd to chant and pray, no more rain no more rain… and it stopped LOL

The reverse experience:

I once went to a guitar clinic thing with Paul Gilbert of Mr. Big. In response to a question from the audience, he said it would take an act of God to get him to ever play "To Be With You" again. Immediately after, lightning struck so close that the whole building shook.

Without missing a beat, he started playing it.
