  1. I'm making the goulash from up-thread. Pics to follow. Also, on the fat between 80/20 and lean, the answer is 10% more. /signed, an English Major
  2. Great jumped-up, bald-headed, Jesus-Palamena! /I searched for "Seems Like Old Times: "Holy Shi . . . I beg your pardon, Governor." Did not even see your Jaws reference before I posted my Jaws reference. Bad Doppelganger!
  3. They called. You still owe them money.
  4. Yes. It's close to the 335, but it's less bulky.
  5. I definitely only heard the second version up until now.
  6. I'm sorry to hear about your step-son's troubles. The only thing I'd ever heard about Kratom was that it was what people used to substitute for opioids. No bueno. As for synthetically produced THC, are you talking about things like K2 or Spice as opposed to hemp-derived THC? The former two were criminalized in this area years ago (long before the 2018 Hemp Bill). But in any event, whatever happens with the hemp industry, I hope they set age restrictions, which they have, albeit by executive order). That seems like a no-brainer. As to your tl, dr: Yep.
  7. I had a gold-top Epiphone Casino several years ago that I just couldn't get along with. So I sold it. I felt like I'd really like the P90s in a solid body guitar. That Casino just played like a damned cigar box 90% of the time. The only time I really liked it was when I was playing it through a cranked Bassman. But everything sounds good through a cranked Bassman. So this is my return to the the P90 realm.
  8. List is $1,799. While I was browsing, SW rep called and knocked off $150. The lowest price used I found was $1,200 plus $75 shipping. So I could have saved some $$ with some patience and haggling, but $40 per month is less than a family trip to Whataburger. I'll pay more than that and get it off the books quickly, but at 0%, I have a hard time turning down free money. Plus, I'll get a good setup and some candy out of the deal. For comparison's sake, these were $1,200 new a few years ago. That's what I get for waiting. Also, I had two to choose from. I went with 4 oz. heavier (8 lbs 14 oz) just to get the darker fret board. Priorities. My Les Paul Traditional weighs in at well over 10 lbs (doesn't feel that heavy when playing). So I ain't a scared.
  9. I'll have to stage one with the new arrival gets here.
  10. We definitely had one of those 8-track players with the plunger on it. Really satisfying.
  11. My parents had one as well. Nine-and-a-half feet long and probably 400 lbs empty. Reloaded with McIntosh gear and a Dual 1245 in 1976. I couldn't help but rescue it from the estate sale when my mom moved out of her house. I restored/serviced everything including the McIntosh speakers. It sounds pretty incredible now. Never had an 8-track deck. Middle section used to house a small Sony TV, but it's record storage now.
  12. I'd rather intone.
  13. Well this will put me at 9 electrics in house. So, while I may be a slouch, I'm no tremendous slouch.
  14. Forgive me Surly, for I have sinned. It has been seven years since my last guitar-purchase confession. I coveted a guitar I have lusted after for many years. I succumbed to to 0% financing and will pay $40 per month for a relatively short period of time. In penance, I shall perform 20 rock-god stances and 15 guitar faces ever day. I will light candles and incense. I will howl at the moon. Amen.
  15. I'll have to think about the rest, but my first 8-track: First Cassette: Quiet Riot's Metal Health First CD: SRV Live Alive First LP: Either the Flash Gordon Soundtrack, Chipmunk Punk, or J. Geils Band's Freeze Frame. There are a lot of movie soundtracks I probably had (and still have). /and yes, I still have that 8-track. That's probably the second iteration since I wore the first one out.
