…and with that, the student becomes the master. Proud of you, buddy.

That's awesome. I don't have any amps anymore - I just plug into a DI box and feed the signal to my laptop that way – but I love seeing stuff brought back to life.

You know it's bad if the parts start talking back to you.

Howdy. Brought this back to life yesterday. Last time it made any kind of sound was in the 90s, and even then it didn't do very well. Pulled all the electronics out, replaced everything but the pickups. Replaced the machineheads with these dope graphtech ratios. Still need to do some filing on the nut and handle intonation, but it's about ready to go. Set up for C standard.

Still waiting on one item, but it's coming from a kind of boutique Lego kit builder that's absolutely swamped with orders. So that's kind of to be expected. Everything else came exactly when I was told to expect it. The only mishap we had was due to the dogs.

No, and ew no.

I'm kind of a traditionalist with my floggers Never tried to use one to catch fish, though.

@TnRiver46 You gonna git you some eggnog while you're there?

I literally do not care what I catch. If I hook any kind of fish at all, that's a good day for me.

Figure I got a record going, so I'm not about to try it now.

That flute's still mixed better than the drums on St. Anger.

The spicy one says "Let me love you…or else."

Same. Both of ours are seriously food motivated, which makes training pretty easy. The little one loves water cookies; he'll shake you down for 'em if he catches you at the fridge. The big one isn't a fan, but is so scared she'll be left out that she takes one anyway.

My dogs think anybody that works for free is a schmuck.

That's our every day, @GreenPig. Bully breeds see any space with their people in it as "our" space. Once SWMBO gets home, they're never more than a couple feet from her, and if she's sitting still, they're sitting on her. My cats are dope. The little one's pretty spicy, though.

Think I got it right this time around.

Followup: A half hour or so into the set, she leaned over and asked "How many songs have they played?" "One."

Sunn O))) concert tonight. It's SWMBO's first drone metal experience, and she's chosen to go in blind.

From last night with @TnRiver46

Never know what you're gonna catch on a small piece of do-nothing plastic. I've caught 20 lb catfish all the way down to tiny bluegill.

I do everything I can not to shop at Walmart, but the other people that shop there aren't the reason why. However, back on topic, when I do have to go there…you can find me tagging along with @J Francho in the Lego aisle.

@Pat Brown you reckon the best way to fish a book might be to wacky rig it? The spine seems like a natural spot for a hook.

Dragging anything from the bank is always a recipe for a short, frustrating day for me.

In your defense, @ol'crickety, you have to drag a canoe and all your gear through the bush to get to where you intend to fish. Slightly harder row to hoe.
