Morning, muchachos.

Hello, Raz. Tell us something new.

Also, my Les Paul rocks.  But that's not new.

But most important.

Lots of posting recently……just the same 4 guys?

And an occasional guest appearance by Oy or Dean.

Glad you showed up so the banter wasn't without a Dave, as my half day is just about up. Hazzuh!

Sounds like a half of a half day...what, do you have to go for a couple of shots of courage before the chair?

When you start at 6, working until 10 IS a half day, ya smart ass.

I agree. The fact I can most appreciate.

I made a run to Portland on Sunday afternoon, to visit an old friend and evaluate a new guitar processor he has.  When I got home about midnight, I saw a notice that I had a message from someone on FamilySearch.  FamilySearch is a genealogy website run by the Mormons, that some members of my family track our family tree on, and to which I've contributed some family info.  So, I pop out to see who's messaging me, and it's some lady from Portland who tells me she has a Bible that belonged to my paternal great-grandfather's family that contains some inscriptions with family vital data.  She said she thinks the Bible should be returned to my family, which she would be happy to do if I'll cover her expenses for obtaining it.  I'm thinking, "Scam." But I told her to send some pictures.  Then I searched her on the web.  She actually seemed legit.  She makes a hobby of finding old family artifacts with names at antique shows and swap meets and then tracking down families online to return the artifacts to.  Probably makes a tidy side income.  Anyway, the pictures arrived yesterday, and it would appear that the Bible belonged to my great-grandmother Hanna, who died in 1928. How it got from Bottineau county North Dakota to Portland I have no idea.  I sent the lady $50.  We'll see if it's legit.

I agree. The fact I can most appreciate.

The problem with having a number of nice instruments is choosing which to use while not wanting to haul more than 3 guitars around.

The story is worth $50. I'm sure you've spent $50 on stupider shit. I think that's pretty cool.

I've heard of Soulja Boy and Papa Roach but didn't count them. Therefore, 49 is the youngest person's age that "I know" on the list.

I've spent a lot more than $50 on stupider shit.  Hell, given the price of groceries, it costs me about $50 just to take a shit.
