I was surprised at the outcome of the game. Almost won some money but. TB scored before the end of First Quarter. Kind of was nice to see Mahomes frazzled.

That WAS nice, glad we get a couple months off from hearing how great he is. Also surprised it wasn't more of a game, TB dominated completely. Hats off to them.

Actually recorded the game and began watching it late because I was still finishing up some "home work". Then, of course I wasn't able to skip through the commercials because that's what the rest of the family was interested in. Wound up behind another late night.

Today is Monday, Feb. 8, the 39th day of 2021.
There are 326 days left in the year.
Today’s Highlights in History:
On Feb. 8, 1952, Queen Elizabeth II proclaimed her accession to the British throne following the death of her father, King George VI.
On this date:
In 1587, Mary, Queen of Scots was beheaded at Fotheringhay Castle in England after she was implicated in a plot to murder her cousin, Queen Elizabeth I.
In 1693, a charter was granted for the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg in the Virginia Colony.
In 1831, Rebecca Lee Crumpler, the first Black woman to earn a medical degree in the United States, was born in Delaware.
In 1910, the Boy Scouts of America was incorporated.
In 1922, President Warren G. Harding had a radio installed in the White House.
In 1924, the first execution by gas in the United States took place at the Nevada State Prison in Carson City as Gee Jon, a Chinese immigrant convicted of murder, was put to death.
In 1960, work began on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, located on Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street in Los Angeles.
In 1971, NASDAQ, the world’s first electronic stock exchange, held its first trading day.
In 1973, Senate leaders named seven members of a select committee to investigate the Watergate scandal, including its chairman, Sen. Sam J. Ervin, D-N.C.

Ten years ago: Wael Ghonim (WY’-uhl goh-NEEM’), a 30-year-old Google executive who’d helped ignite Egypt’s uprising, appeared before protesters in Cairo’s Tahrir Square for the first time after being released from detention; he told them, “We won’t give up.”
Five years ago: President Barack Obama asked Congress for more than $1.8 billion in emergency funding to fight the Zika virus and the mosquitoes that were spreading it in the United States and abroad, but said “there shouldn’t be a panic on this.” Villanova was No. 1 in The Associated Press men’s college basketball poll for the first time.
One year ago: The U.S. Embassy in Beijing said a 60-year-old U.S. citizen who’d been diagnosed with the coronavirus had died on Feb. 5 in Wuhan; it was apparently the first American fatality from the virus. A soldier who was angry about a land dispute began a 16-hour shooting rampage in northeastern Thailand, killing at least 29 people and wounding dozens more before being shot and killed by police and soldiers at a shopping mall.

Almost done with taxes. All I need is for the student to send his 1098-T. I pay all the bills, but they won't send me the documents. I am SO ready to be done with having college students.

Personally, I'm hoping for TCNJ. She likes Marist, Vassar, and Villanova. She's only heard back from Seton Hall and Rider so far. I don't believe she ever intended to go to either but she had application wavers and was told she could use those acceptances for negotiations.

If she goes to TCNJ, you can buy my parents house, will be cheaper than a dorm and you can rent out the extra space.

This was gifted to me by a friend yesterday. A late 30's Orpheum Style C. I've coveted it for years, and he's been willing to sell it to me, but it was always the wrong timing. Finally was at a point where I had the money and no other priorities. So we played together at church this weekend and he brought it for me to use. Sounded amazing. Knocked my son out. Even knocked my wife out, and she has NEVER been impressed by the sound of a guitar. We agreed on Saturday night he'd sell it to me for what he had in it ($1045), and I borrowed it for the night to really work it out and make up my mind. After the service yesterday, I agreed to buy, just needed his PayPal account to transfer the money. He told me my money was no good, and that if I wanted the guitar it was a gift. He said he'd just been waiting for me to finally decide I really wanted it. I protested, but he was unmoving. Whattya gonna do with people like that?

Right?
It was a cheap guitar in the 30's, compared to the Gibson and Vega archtops. But in those days, even cheap guitars were made with materials that are now expensive premiums - like curly maple and Brazilian rosewood. So it has aged really well. It was refinished before my friend bought it, which kills what little collector value it had, but it was refinished at Collings guitars, which is a super-premium guitar builder, and they just did a gentle touch up. I couldn't care less about collector value. I play my guitars.

I can fully understand acoustic guitars having their voice shaped by the wood, the craftsmanship, like any string instrument. I don't quite understand the differences in electric guitars however. If it's electric, can't the voice of any guitar be modified to anything you want electronically regardless of the guitar?

Well, this is an acoustic guitar, though it has a piezoelectric transducer installed.
But to more broadly answer your question - it's true that the sound of an electric guitar comes from strings vibrating in front of magnetic pickups. But the materials of which an electric guitar is made influence how the strings move. If you watch extreme slo-mo video of a guitar string that has been plucked, you'll see that it doesn't move with any apparent order. It flops like spaghetti, and generates various frequencies and cancellations depending on how it flops. But it will flop differently with different combinations of materials, which alters what the pickups pick up, and changes the sound. So while you can control a huge amount of what a guitar sounds like by changing the pickups, the same pickups installed in a guitar body made of mahogany will sound different if you pull them out and put them in a guitar body made of Swamp Ash.

Saw this and couldn't resist. Unlike Mr. Raz, this will probably never see use or ash.
very cool reminds me of the tiger painting print that was popular in the 70’s

Starting the afternoon with something different...Alec & Bradley.
Nice cigar. Good pepper and spice throughout. Reminded me of some early CLEs.
Good to know, thanks.....

One of our closed glycol systems sprung a leak underground. It feeds the main ITS data/electronic room. Things are piling up at work but that's the life of working man.

Underground stuff gets old, deteriorates, and is especially susceptible during the cold months. Good luck with that.

Of course underground work is even more fun when the ground is frozen in sub zero temps with snow on the ground. :-\
