This is a guitar he worked on, a '76 that had the tuning issues of the strike-era guitars. He filled and the re-routed the saddle slot in the right place, bone nut & saddle, neck reset, refret, and also due to a pick guard crack, lifted that off and put it back on, releasing the tension there. IIRC, the neck reset was warranty, the rest on my dime. He added a small card on the inside of the top, repaired by Frank Ford, dated--which is reverse printed so readable with a mirror.

The real money would be in locks of fake hair.
Or some of the real bits (get it now!! --DNA confirmation certificate included!!)

Hey, since it's one undercurrent of this thread, I've finally signed up for social security--I'm now a (vilified) blood sucking dependent of america. So have at me. I hadn't applied before, since I only have about $13-14k of lifetime earnings (high school jobs, most of my army time was at about $100/month), and I thought any SS benefit would only amount to like $30-$35/month. But someone nagged me into trying. Turns out it's 10 times that, and they back paid it to february of this year.

I trim my eyebrows, at least when the barber doesn't. I wonder if by just letting them grow you could do the reverse of that, use them for a comb-over going backward?

While I'd've first said outside somewhere, just let all the boxes pile up, how about--since there's no place for it--just don't unload it/let it be unloaded?
'The contract' for the shipping of parcels apparently dates to 2013, and according to one comment "the Postal Service "considers the contract proprietary" and won't disclose it." So does this contract run indefinitely? This is now its 10th anniversary (if I've got the math right). So may it's time for some new contract terms.
And note that I'm not blaming or assigning responsibility to anyone here, least of all you.

... 3. I needed a quick nap. ... Leave out the 'quick' part, and that's one of my go-to things to tick off on the daily list.

Millring has been giving us a blow-by-blow of all this, but seeing it like this makes my blood boil. John has, if anything, understated the magnitude of the problem. It's testament to his fortitude he's kept ait this long. Yeah, the early version of that story right here. The comments seem to (mis?)attribute some blame for the situation that's not in the article, certain people in congress, besides the appointment of dejoy. I'm with Marty on the US mail being something that should have priority. Instead, let the boxes (as junk mail) pile up and be delayed for days.

The winter 'buri' season has started (yum!), the newspaper clip is of several hundred being caught/brought in at a couple local ports (buri = yellowtail). Size is 8-9kg, but up to 14. Crab season has started, too, tho they're too pricey right now, so maybe later. I usually ask for any that are missing a leg or two, instead of the pretty ones.

Y'all are just jealous that you weren't named after james taylor...
...and that you're not worth $740 million.

Actually buy a used car?--just carry a usb cable, and pick up a kia/hyundai from wherever you might be.

Okay, at this point I think she really should be stepping down... I am confus-ed. Perhaps too oblique?--re recent comments about senators hanging on forever, and the passing of the one from california.
