We survived the party yesterday, mostly. We didn't know how many people were coming and truthfully I don't know how many did. Ordered replacement steps for the pool ladder this morning but otherwise all's well, guitars got played, food got eaten and alcohol was involved. Happy Sunday. I'll be resting.

I'm in awe of the old farts who have stuck together over the years.

Well, I could ask for forgiveness. Bad manners, I guess. Please forgive me.

I'z here Bruce I was on my way to your party but I forgot to leave last week. Is there a story to go with the pool ladder? Kids. I assume the ladder is original so it's 19 years old and the plastic is brittle. 2 steps shattered. The kids weren't all that big so I don't think weight was the issue, just age. Replacement steps and stainless bolts comes to $47. No big deal and nobody got hurt. Some wives may not forgive me for letting their husbands, who knew 3 chords maybe, play my guitars. There was a lot of interest in the Martin and the old L7-C. I overheard discussions of Christmas lists and a lot of "No way"s. The wives were interested in the flat-would strings, no squeaks, on the Gibsons though. |

Morning 84F/29C Partly cloudy. Welcome back C.Bob Back to the shop today to work on string winders and I still have to get handle parts ordered. A copy of last night's Facebook post: Got time away from repairs today and finished drilling the 400 and some odd holes needed to progress my string winders to the next stage.
First photo shows a new batch winder next to a semi-finished one left over from my last batch. All the holes are done now it needs to go through the band saw to rough out the general shape before final hand shaping with chisels, files and sandpaper.
Photo two shows a drilled Classic winder next to my new Vintage winder. The Classic fits classical guitar tuners and large button steel string tuners like Grover's, Schaller's and Gotoh Delta 510.
The smaller Vintage model fits small vintage style buttons and will work very nicely on Fender vintage electrics, narrow spaced 12 string guitar tuners and stepped F style mandolin tuners.  21 Days to IJ. The time approaches quickly. |

Top O' the Morning to ye all.
I have awoken had coffee and now stand ready to impart knowledge, understanding, and support to the rest of you losers.
Not for free, of course, but the price is reasonable.
Old is in the mind and, also, in the joints. And this is a joint filled with old.
Sip some Geritol, pop an Aleve, and welcome the sun into your lives. Nap frequently and stop yelling at the neighborhood kids. Eat a peach. Be one.

I'm really struggling with Andrew this morning. This has been an intense ride, y'all. Seems like I hit a wall at around the 6 month mark when things got much more difficult. I'm not the only one here who has walked this path. It's scary at times, beautiful at times. Facing myself may be the scariest thing of all.

I'm not the only one here who has walked this path. It's scary at times, beautiful at times. Facing myself may be the scariest thing of all. Even though it seems like it at times, you are not walking alone. There are friends and loved ones all around you and positive thoughts are surrounding you. |
