  1. Modern medicine and prayers are an awesome combination. I can't help with the first part but the second part has been sent, please keep us posted.
  2. Used a couple old road cases for the first time in many years last weekend, but found the interior foam was mostly disintegrated. Any recommendations for replacement foam? Where do I get it?
  3. I had a Czech Dean Cadillac that is really well made. Hog body, carved maple cap, wide neck with ebony board. My son has it now, his name is Dean...
  4. I use an automotive feeler guage and go for .010 to .012 inches (ten to twelve thousandths) for the space between the the top of the first fret and the bottom of the first string. More clearance for the heavier strings, up to .020 for the low E.
  5. I'm still laughing at "vegetesbian". Not that there's anything wrong with that.
  6. These threads are extra awesome when its your own project that shows up. I highly recommend it.
  7. SHT. Perfect. Reminds me of the two word review of Spinal Tap's Shark Sandwich: "Sh!t sandwich."
  8. GTR, with Steve Howe and Steve Hacket (or Buddy Hacket or something like that). The name of the band was the abbreviation for guitar, for crying out loud. It had to be good! I don't remember if I got all the way through it, but I know I never listened again. And a second vote for Passion and Warfare. Another one that never got a second listen.
  9. From a pure energy consumption standpoint, it cost you a lot more to heat that hot dog on the stove than it did in the microwave. The stovetop has a large resistive heating element that was on for five minutes. The microwave, even if it used more energy (and it doesn't), was only on for 30 sec. Now look at the circuit breakers in your main panel that these appliances are connected to. The oven/range is on a 40, 50 or 60 amp double pole (240 volt) breaker because it needs that much power. It may be the lagest energy load in your house when it is on. The microwave is on a basic 15 or 20 amp single pole (120 volt) household circuit. That's all the power it needs, and for a much shorter period of time.
  10. I say make it a sticky and be done with it.
  11. Yep - nothing like a heavy dose of perspective. "Too much f***ing perspective." - David St.Hubbins
  12. I just finished watching and loved every minute, but I could have gone without seeing the string of drool hanging off Gene's chin after Lick it Up. One of things I wish I could un-see.
  13. Had a beer with Billy Powell (Lynyrd Skynyrd) in the Nashville airport about a year before he died. I always thought his piano parts were tasteful compliments to their songs, and he was a great guy to talk to to boot. He was getting loaded before he had to get on that plane...
