  1. Watching on the gametracker. Boy, this is exciting. Clawing back!
  2. Right. It means the guitar has to sit out further on the floor, so it's more likely be inadvertently bumped or kicked. Of even if you have it on an a-stand in the middle of the room, if it's leaning more it is bit more likely somebody will nudge it trying to walk past. The bottom part of an a-stand is crucial, too. The guitar needs to sit snugly enough so it stays fairly upright. If it has too much play the guitar slumps more and the neck sticks out more horizontally as a result.
  3. I guess I won't get to watch the game tomorrow, so I guess I'll get an extra day of rest through the break. Win the series, regroup and kick some ass in the second half. Could use another starter and reliever...at least.
  4. I like the A-frame stands of they aren't slanted too much. I have a couple that just make the guitar stick out too far from the wall because of the lean and give too wide a target to bump into and knock over.
  5. Another stupid deal at musicans friend. I don't know how these compare to the Hercules stand. https://www.musiciansfriend.com/stupid?icid=210190 Proline PLMS7 7-Guitar Folding Stand Black The Proline PLMS7 7-Guitar Folding Stand is simple, and rock-solid stable. The stand folds for easy transport. Proline PLMS7 stand holds up to 7 electric guitars safely at home, in the studio or on stage.

  6. Official NGD. My first Martin, GPC 11e, an "affordable" all solid model. Ordered it from MF stupid deal on the Fourth, $250 off, and couldn't pass it up. I was pleased with the looks. Sounds pretty dang good strummed, as well, but I can't really play because I sliced up the tip of my fretting ring finger a few days ago. I think it needs a slight neck adjustment, but should be all good.
  7. Did they not watch the last game? Glenn otto not be in there. Way to try to ruin a perfectly nice rookie start.
  8. Frontier Fiber seems to think making their customers seem like a bunch of assholes is going to increase sales. They also seem to think that Fiber is not a type of cable...I guess.
  9. Rangers seem pretty .500ish these days.
  10. Good plan. Maybe a little extra rest can do Perez some good. But I certainly don't expect his 2022 form to return.
  11. He's still a good pass blocker, decent short yardage guy, and by most accounts a great teammate, especially tight with Dak. If he's cheap enough and accepts a smaller role I'm fine with bringing Zeke back.
  12. I have all of Other's albums.
  13. Dang, I ordered a guitar and the confirmation email said "may arrive in multiple shipments." Some assembly required?
  14. The slickdeals one? The link I posted above just worked for me. Just go to slickdeals.net, search for gretsch in the box. It's the fourth one down, below three cheaper Streamliners, all still active. Stupid deal of the hour may have just got me.
  15. Any of y'all using GoPro type cameras for video? I've been thinking about getting a cheap used one to test the waters. But there are so many models I'm not sure where the cutoff point should be as far as the model generation and features. I probably don't need 5K or super high speeds for fancy shooting. Use as a still camera would be a bonus.
  16. Stupid Deal of the HOUR is on at musiciansfriend.com today. Check every hour. But they don't show the expired deals any more like they used to. You have to check in the hour and pull the trigger in time.
  17. Adorama via the Slickdeals link. https://slickdeals.net/f/16754477-gretsch-g5410t-electromatic-rat-rod-hollow-body-bigsby-electric-guitar-matte-vintage-white-499-free-s-h?src=frontpage_recombee&prop=rcmid-55b7bab7af3e98f54595da5ca807cb68&attrsrc=Personalization%3AInterspersed%3ATrue Gretsch G5410T Electromatic "Rat Rod" Hollow Body Bigsby Electric Guitar (Matte Vintage White) $499 + Free S/H $499.00 $850.00
  18. Thankfully, I wasn't able to watch the game today. Perez seems like he's about lost it, at least against decent hitting teams. Glenn otto not be in the major leagues.
  19. We still need about three more of them.
  20. I definitely check into CFL far more than these leagues. Aside from people we've heard of, they have their own established stars and competitive traditions, some sense of each team being a continuing entity and individual fan bases and loyalties.
  21. I hardly watch it, as with XFL. I might be more interested if they didn't replay games so often, so that I automatically assume any game on the grid is a replay of a game I never gave a rat's ass about in the first place. So I tend to skip them, so I don't develop any affiliation. USFL is probably slightly better quality than XFL, but it still has no character. There's no real regionality, no local fans that care, very few recognizable players you might like to follow that might have potential to move up. The NFL now has more futures prospect guys locked up that aren't eligible, so the pickings are slim. Coaches are pretty much old second rate has-beens or never-been rejects. The style of play is pretty bland. It has none of the appeal of the original USFL, which was pretty awesome for a couple of years. It's kind of stupid to call it the USFL. They share very little in common. I'd rather watch a flag football league of retired NFL and big name ex college players that were famous but didn't quite work out in the NFL. Really, even arena football was more entertaining.
  22. Chapman should definitely be a major boost to the bullpen if he can stay healthy.
  23. This is a really cool light. I haven't used it for copying or really tried taking decent photos with it, but with the attached diffuser it gives you a very nice soft light source for instant studio type lighting effect of small objects. And it comes in handy just to have a good bright light within arms length.
  24. Rangers should have just forfeited the game last night and given the whole team a day off if they really needed rest that bad to sit two of their top bats on the same night with a rookie replacement starter on the mound.
