  1. I think she eats Clyde in the next scene...
  2. I thought I had the issue resolved, but we finally had some time to rock out last night and I was pretty disappointed! Thanks for the suggestion Kenny!
  3. I'm starting to have shorting issues with one of my custom guitars again... Do any of you have a place that you'd recommend for me to take the guitar to and get it fixed? I used to go to 12th Fret on Belmont for this type stuff, but started hearing some bad feedback about them... I last took it to River City Music only because it's very close to home, but the guy there wasn't an expert in guitar electronics. I'm avoiding the big guys (like GC) and I wasn't impressed with the staff at Beacock, but I haven't been a heavy customer of any music store for about 15 years so I don't know where else to try. Any recommendations are appreciated! 🙂👍
  4. Ok, ok... I'll add something constructive if I must! 😆 SSD's are better in almost everyway I can think of except cost (at least for now) and in giving some warning before they die. While spinner drives are noisy, slower and (currently) cheaper, they at least usually provide some warning that they are about to die and, unlike SSD's, can SOMETIMES even be read even after they've died (this includes fixing bad access tables & sectors; replacing chipsets; as well as removing the platters and installing them into a working housing). The most important takeaway is to make sure you have current backups with SSD's! That said, I'll reiterate what I've said before: 🙂 (Oh, and, for reference, I've got at least eight SSD's - about 18 TB's worth - and at least a dozen spinner drives - at least 30 TB's worth! 😎 )
  5. If you stay inside alone you shouldn't get any STD's. Wait... Oh! You have questions about SSD's! 😮 Nevermind. My bad. 😁
  6. But, as Bauhaus reminds us: 😁 Jethro Tull found a way as Ian explains in the start of this:
  7. For the rest of the readers: "Too long" is, apparently, 16 seconds. 😜
  8. Losing a lot this year...
  9. And how do you feel about that? (😁)
  10. *News alert!* "A small plane crashed into a cemetery today killing all onboard! Police have discovered over 100 bodies so far and are still digging!"
  11. A young Naval Officer was in a terrible car accident, but due to the heroics of the hospital staff the only permanent injury was the loss of one ear. Since he wasn't physically impaired he remained in the military and eventually became an Admiral. However, during his career he was always sensitive about his appearance. One day the Admiral was interviewing two Navy Master Chiefs and a Marine Sergeant Major to add to his personal staff. The first Master Chief was a Surface Navy type and it was a great interview. At the end of the interview the Admiral asked him, "Do you notice anything different about me?" The Master Chief answered, "Why yes. I couldn't help but notice you are missing your starboard ear, so I don't know whether this impacts your hearing on that side." The Admiral got very angry at this lack of tact and threw him out of his office. The next candidate, an Aviation Master Chief, when asked this same question, answered, "Well yes, you seem to be short one ear." The Admiral threw him out also. The third interview was with the Marine Sergeant Major. He was articulate, extremely sharp, and seemed to know more than the two Master Chiefs put together. The Admiral wanted this guy, but went ahead with the same question. "Do you notice anything different about me?" To his surprise the Sergeant Major said, "Yes, Sir. You wear contact lenses." The Admiral was impressed and thought to himself, what an incredibly tactful Marine. "And how do you know that?" the Admiral asked. The Sergeant Major replied, "Well sir, it's pretty hard to wear glasses with only one freakin' ear." 😁
  12. Yep! I bet my lungs look like I was a pack-a-day smoker even though I've never smoked (played darts in smoky bars for decades and saw lots of live bands in same). Here's Walter Trout's Artic White Strat that I took a picture of when it needed a string change!
  13. Pitifully enduring nearly intelligible sentences! 😁
  14. Reminds me of the most common last words said by a redneck: "Hey everybody! Watch this!" 😁
