    Piano pron

    I know shit all about pianos, but that is a hell of a gift you gave your sister. Wow.
  2. I grab an HVAC filter and head towards the attic pulldown to change the filter. Wife follows me. Her: I wish we had stairs to get into the attic. Me: We do. You pull this string and the stairs come down. Her: not like that. We just need stairs. Me: Why. I got up there once a month to change a filter. Her: It would be easier with stairs. I'm looking for a place to put them. Me: So, you want to take up hall space or space out of one of the spare bedrooms, to use 12 times a year. (not even mentioning the lost heating and AC cost) Her: We could put them where the linen closet is. Me: Where are you going to put all of these towels. Her: In the attic! Me: (walking away with my head down, muttering to myself.....WHY, WHY did you fall into that fucking trap. WHY!!!!!!)
  3. This was Greta and the second child she helped raise. That pic was taken 22 years ago. Capt. Velcro are the other two pics.
  4. Are the pups you want to train the dalmatians? Good luck with that. My time with them is very limited, but I'm not sure they will grasp the concept. When the dog was a pup, she was sent to an obedience school, then worked with her at home. She spent all of her time with a newborn after that. (I'll find a picture later). She would wake up my wife (this was before we were married) when the baby cried. If someone came to the front door, she would go to the door, bark, then go find my wife, bark and then go sit by the front door. Same with the phone. Most of this was just working with her at home. She was also excellent at cleaning the baby's face after she ate or threw up. Licked clean. When I moved in, I would let the dog out in the morning to get the paper. About day 4, I forgot about her outside and there were 14 newspapers stacked up by the door. She was so proud. The next morning I watched her and she went to the farthest house in the hood and brought back the paper, then the next house....and so on. I told the paper deliver dude to just deliver all of the papers at my house because I had to redeliver them every morning after that. How old is your daughter? How long has she had the implants?
  5. His real name when we adopted him was Teddy, but every time he went outside, he would come back with shit stuck to him. Pine cones, sweet gum balls, rose bushes, stickers, pine straw, leaves, grass clippings..... He was like a ball of walking velcro. Plus, the little fucker was deaf so it didn't matter what I called him.
  6. We used to have a GSD that was a hearing assist dog. My wife wants another one so bad. We just had a little dog (Capt. Velcro) go on to BadAss Dog Heaven and the other dog (a neurotic American Eskie) has actually calmed the fuck down lately, now that she is an only dog. We took her to the vet when we took The Capt in to be put to sleep. I joke that maybe she thinks she is next.... but actually, she has turned in to a decent dog now and I'm afraid a puppy would send her back in to neurotic, anxious hell.
  7. I just LOVE the color of that Matchless.
  8. A year ago today, I got bailed out of jail. My life had been spinning horribly out of control for about 6 months. Hell, my train wreck was in a tail spin. I had already decided to go to rehab but thought I would take a couple of weeks to get my 'affairs in order'. That worked out fucking great. Called the place later that afternoon and got a date for May 8. Did I quit drinking between 4/17 and May 8? Are you fucking kidding? Even with that looming over my head, I still couldn't stop, and I wanted to. So, if I can just not drink for the next 21 days, I'll have a year. Honestly, this last month has been the hardest, just because of the situation right now. But I haven't really come close, but because the bars are closed and I don't dare drive by a liquor store.
  9. I wanted to do that but someone has replaced the original speaker.
  10. Warehouse. Couldn't remember that name. That and the first one Foggy posted were the two I had it narrowed down to. Came remember which Warehouse I liked bit I have a starting place now. Thanks
  11. That white Strat. Topo....what are you axing for it.
  12. OK. I need to replace the speaker in my 65 DR. I had a list at one time of my top picks from this thread, but I can't find it on my Sweetwater or Amazon lists. So, what say you boys and girls?
  13. You know those little coffee cups you get with the dish sets that are too small for anything, that we have NEVER FUCKING used in the past 20 years? These aren't the fancy dishes...just the everyday ones. Yea...and we have a cabinet FULL of gimme coffee cups that are big enough to function properly.... At least some of those get used. Some time ago, I suggested we get rid of the tiny ones since they take up space and have never been used. that suggestion was met with great resistance. So, since I've been home during the day the last 3 weeks, I've been throwing one away, every other day. M-W-F...I toss a cup. I take the weekends off. 18 down to 9 of those useless motherfuckers. Question for the long-suffering assholes on this thread. Should I chunk them all or leave two, and just blame breakage for the missing ones. I'm not sure which will draw the least attention. What say you!!!!
  14. My 339 is an Epi, but I LOVE that guitar.
  15. Just got a text from a dude I'm writing songs with. "Played my old Strat for the first time in a long time. Even fired up the Bassman. I never left jeep and tonic". Took me a while to figure that out. Jeep and Tonic.
  16. Found a digital version of the picture. Taken last year at Todd's 4/20 show at the Ryman.
  17. AUTF, Where did you order that Martin from?
  18. Great guitar @AnotherUTFan. That is my next guitar. It was in my sights until I did my taxes. I could by 3 of those for what I'm stuck with this year.
  19. I have a photo to Todd Snider, John Prine and Cowboy Jim walking off the stage at the Ryman. It is taken from the side stage. I was really, really hoping to have Prine sign it and possible Cowboy Jim. Now, both of them are gone. I barely made it thru Petty.....(I'm not sure my liver actually did) but damn....... I'm not sure I want to live in a world without John Prine. Happy Enchilada everyone.
  20. On the "go bigger" question, I think that Katana is a great starting point. I have a buddy who was just learning to play the guitar at the age of 40. So he orders a Strat from Fender. When he was going amp shopping, I told him to ask what they suggest, and then go one or two steps down from there. He needed a Champ or a Blues Jr at the MOST. Dude lives in a condo. He shows up at my house with a fucking Hot Rod Deluxe. Thing is louder than fuck and very, very bright. I sat in on a New Years Eve show with some guys with his Strat and that amp and it was too loud for that set up. I told him to take it back and get a Blues Jr. He comes back with a Deluxe Reverb which he NEVER plays because it is still too loud for his living situation. I dig that setup Buzz. When this shit is over with, we need to go grab a cocktail and support our local bartenders.
  21. I gave up on the link but that thread has some glorious goodies. Take the question over there.
  22. Fucking tapafuck https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/index.php?/topic/198-these-go-to-11-the-guitar-amp-thread
