    Got myself banned again

    The last time I used it, I was interfacing through google groups (also about 2003) -- which apparently pulled the plug on Usenet this winter: Starting on February 22, 2024, you can no longer use Google Groups (at groups.google.com) to post content to Usenet groups, subscribe to Usenet groups, or...

    Shoulder Surgery

    Good to hear it went well. Yeah, sleeping is kind of a puzzle for a while, but it sounds like you have that sorted. Recovery will take a while, but you will literally get out of it what you put into it. Once you get cleared to start doing PT, you can really start to track your progress, its...

    Tune a bosun's whistle???

    This process is very typical of many things in the military, in that you recieve a necessary new piece of gear in an "other than usable" condition, and have to bring it up to a servicable standard.

    The Rock Slide Guitar Slides

    I've got both a steel, and a blues bottle glass slide. I like the sound of the blues bottle, but find that the looser fit makes it a little less consistent to work with. Running the slide on my pinky makes the most sense to me as I have more fretting options with the slide on my finger.

    Fat tire e-bike coming soon...

    Bone up on changing brake pads -- the added mass on e-bikes makes for massively increased pad wear.

    Looking for a "beater"

    I picked up a used Alvarez Regent dread a few years back-- office guitar and general purpouse beater. I think I paid $75 bucks for it, and it both plays and sounds fine. Pretty good for plywood.

    Tried A Fender Acoustasonic Today.

    If you can find one -- give one of the new Highway series a shot. More acoustic volume, and trying less to be an electric guitar. The dreadnaught plays pretty well.

    D25 price increases.

    Love my 25. Thought I was overpaying just a bit when I got it, but looking at what prices are running, I was actually pretty close. Worth it.

    12-strings - what do you play on them?

    I only have 1 12 string, and I mostly use it to change things up from time to time because I love the sound -- mostly as a strummer. That being said -- I recently came across a song tab written for 12 string, that honestly just doesn't sound right on a 6. To make matters more interesting, its...
