My name is spelled H-O-W-A-R-D but the first syllable is silent.
Wishing all a good day and successful maintenance of good humor.

Good morning. -3F - 20F Clear? What they mean is clear skies and freaking cold. Well 20F ain't bad for this time of year, beats the shit out of -20F. I'll have to go out today as I need hardware store stuff. Side door alarm just went off, that will be DaWife taking the recycling out to the front. I got shop time in yesterday, when the cats weren't bugging me to do something for them*, and finished a bridge that I will glue on today. The last thing on that Mossman will be a partial refret. Frets, neck reset, new bridge. The bridge needed to be replaced because Mossman made the string spacing way too wide so that by the time you got to the 12th fret the E strings were falling off the edge of the fingerboard. I fixed the pin holes in the top and plate and now the new bridge will take care of that problem. *They won't bug DaWife who is upstairs, they come downstairs and bug me. Then again it might be that Cheri has a running foul commentary going about dumbasses that get scammed because they won't check with their bank before sending their life saving off to Abu Dhabi because the FBI told them to. I think she scares them.  47 Days Until Spring. |

Then it pretty much wouldn't matter how you spelled it but it would make it more interesting to read. Zoward |

Morning. Horses fed, poop shoveled, hay bags stuffed, nose running.

Morning. Horses fed, poop shoveled, hay bags stuffed, nose running. Steve I didn't know YOU owned horses, I thought your girls did. Horses are efficient fertilizer making machines, expensive food goes in one end and almost the same amount of fertilizer comes out the other. The biggest problem is that the food will get dropped off at the same spot while the end product has to be collected from all over Hell and Yonder, at least in the Summer. Thank God for fences. |

Like Marty I made a new bridge for an Asian made Guild yesterday and after routing the saddle slot and making a new saddle I remembered it had a braided wire piezo pickup I forgot about so I had to set up the whole rig again and rout a recess for the pickup on the bottom of the saddle slot and drill the chamfered hole for it. Geezer lutherie. I hate having to backtrack on a project but it’s getting more common.  |

I did not make a bridge yesterday but I’ll cross one or three on my way to Costco today.
Coffee is made, and being consumed. 28 degrees out there, according to my phone.

As I am fond of saying: "Horses eat money and s**t work". I'm not sure who owns who. My crazy horse chick wife has been out of town for a few weeks for a family gathering funeral thing so I've been keeping the stable stable. I can't begin to describe how invigorating it is to walk down to the barn at 5:30 in the morning when it's 20 below zero to stuff hay bags and clean stalls. At 20 below the frozen and stuck poop piles take a little extra shovel work to break free and sometimes the frozen turds ricochet around the barn so you have to chase them down which is great. Like I said - invigorating! |

Sounds like you could use a couple Makis on staff. Clayton and Delwood both could use something to do once they get out.

My English skills are a bit rusty, but if the first syllable is silent doesn't that mean your name is pronounced "Ard" like the pirate thing? |

Hey Steve, that Montana life sounds fun! My brother loves horse owners - he makes and sells hay.
It is time to draft pleadings and explain UCC theory to a client. Enjoy your day.

My barber split with his wife and wound up marrying a cute young gal that is into horses big time. At first he was all excited to be part of the scene but after several years I am getting some signals that the novelty is wearing off.

We're all just caught up in a recurring WC Fields skit. Some of WC's variations on a theme: There's no such thing as a tough child - if you parboil them first for seven hours, they always come out tender.
I like children. If they're properly cooked.
I like children - fried.
My own variation: I like children but I can't eat a whole one. |
