  1. Pickup trucks have gone from utilitarian cool to status symbol cool. I just want to know who these giants are that can easily put something in the bed of their truck without opening the tailgate. I have a Tundra Crewmax and its stupid what a pain in the ass it is to load and unload. I always think about the OLD Tacoma I had that was quick nimble and easy to use. The older smaller trucks are become boutique / collector items now
  2. I can't hear their music and not envision a roller rink
  3. I'm not a Boston fan per se, in fact there are few if any groups that I fanboy for or against ... I just like what I like. Flip to any of the time marks in this video and tell me this was not a good performance / concert. More about the music than the spectacle that fucking glam pop "rock" was about to bury us in.
  4. Depends on the industry and role, no question some require a physical presence component. Having worked at a company that had a full set of tools to work remotely since '98 it's amazing to hear old tired rehashes of how it can't work. Companies that feel the need to control employees physically to ensure work is done have been sloppy in hiring and have poor management. A company that can only pull from a worker pool of probably half a metro area will be trounced by the same company that can pull the most talented workers from around the world. I've seen it. Of course its hard to know if it was the workforce talent or the lack of vision/management.
  5. If you trim that grass it'll make your deck look bigger
  6. IMO Return to work seems to be purely the policy of vainglorious control freaks. Companies have successful shifted the vast majority of facilities cost to their workers while extending worker hours and availability. C levels just miss the bowing and scraping.
  7. Grunge and the NW scene had sucked all the air out of the room and this band just didn't get the attention it deserved. Blues for the Red Sun is also great. Listen to the whole thing or jump to 20:23 Space Cadet => Demon Cleaner
  8. I picture an unshaven mountain of a man in a safety vest & eye protection standing on the tarmac atop a mound of lost luggage. Guitar slung low just shredding the one G&R riff he knows while his coworkers toss bag after bag onto the pile like a ritualistic sacrifice.
  9. Yeah he spent at least 3 minutes flipping through his phone looking for a picture and then apologizing that his cat was also in the picture... (Amp looked pristine from the cat pic) the whole time this is what I was thinking... But ya know a cool amp for dirt cheap? Accommodations can be made... I just have no idea if that's even a desirable AMP. I'd been more thinking of a Roland JC-120 (or smaller)
  10. Soooooo I was picking up a prescription for my daughter and was talking with my wife about a pc cable for my son' Spark40 amp... and the pharmacist evidently over hears us and says "hey I'm moving and I have a tube amp that is amazing, it's an Ampeg Reverbrocket 212. I can't use it at the new apartment. I'll bring it in tomorrow you can check it out. I gave my strat to my brother in law and gave up on guitar al together" Goes on for a few minute talking it up and basically insisting he bring it into CVS for me to try out?! WTF? Boundries He said all of that before I got a word in edge wise Is that a decent AMP? I'm kind of looking for an AMP but this seems cray cray I asked him how much he wants for it and he just avoided the question (but he seems really really motivated) He says I can try it out and that it's OK because he knows where I live What say you Shaggites?
  11. Depends on where you put the sharpie
  12. https://www.npr.org/2023/01/03/1144994454/the-smile-tiny-desk-concert enjoy
  13. Team DQ shack. There is one a few miles from me that has been there forever and has to be just minting money. (bar district to the north, big high school just to the south and a park /rec center to the east) There is usually a line down the sidewalk day or night. If I'm getting DQ I don't want fancy or corporate.
  14. That's awesome! She looks so excited.
  15. Looks like a thumbnail for a youtube video on how to roll the fretboard edges. 0/10 previous neck repair
  16. Well deserved I imagine... Merry Xmas
  17. Epiphone 59 lp standard is my guess... heard good things
  18. I like that you have your own horn section.
  19. So Adorama has a suspiciously large selection of "USED" LPB Strats... $439-479 https://www.adorama.com/l/Used/Musical-Instruments/Guitars/Fender~Electric-Guitars?perPage=75&sf=price caveat emptor

  21. That's going to be awesome! I'm all for the spray paint custom art thing, but if you're trying to keep the mods reversible, maybe have this under the tree for her or have her paint white pick guard. Obviously the tele version
