Hey bud...my father passed away on June 18th, 09. just last week and I can tell you I am struggling hard right now. I suffer from depression as well and i am trying everything in the world to maintain sanity...so i know where you are coming from.

Glad to know you're still kickin'. Over the past few months, I had doubts about myself, but it feels good to have made it through.

On a different note, in a couple of months, I'm thinking about finding a used BMG Red Special (the Brian May knock-off of the Guild knock-off of the guitar Brian May made with his dad) and modifying/upgrading it - weeding out the cheap parts. What I would really like to do, though, is build my own guitar with as much variety of sound as "the Old Lady", but with a body of my own design. ..or rip off the look of the Billy-Bo. If you don't mind, I'm sure I'll be asking you for pointers. ...constantly.

A ten watt single-ended triode with 6L6's. That's the sort of stereo amp I'd like to try someday. I don't know what it means exactly, but I do know I would need efficient speakers and also that I'd then fit right into one more extra-narrow special interest sub-group of wierdos.

500 rms watts from tubes? Didn't even know it was possible! That thing is a monster, it would heat my livingroom in the winter! If I had the means it'd be McIntosh all the way, probably a set of bridged 275's:

School loans.

A project you might enjoy:

Well it has to do with Amerika' s self absorbtion with the belief
that there is nothing happening beyound our borders.
I've know of and found Grand Prix racing much more interesting
than the oval track.
Running the old Three Banger SAABs in the '60's knew about Road Ralley,
but never saw more than the odd artical in a SAAB dealers Magazine.
Wished that it was a more Publicized Sport in these parts. It is something that
I'd like to do. Even my 11year old says she'd like to do it after seeing the
segment on Top Gear about the Finnish Amature Racing Circut.
Channel Surfing several years back caught a British M/C race on a Track.
But it is too well Hidden. You would follow it if it was offered; and you
cann't track it down. So where does that leave people like me who would
follow if finding it wasn't like pulling teeth.
Side note both of the places near here that had a Bike Nite the past few years
aren't doing it this year.

Speed Channel? I'll have to look to see if it's in my plan.
If I have it I'll have to TiVo, too much to do in the afternoon.

Wow 102 years? It is so cool that something like this can last that many years.

I would say that a 102-year-old race would be the most important.

I am very surprised that you cant see this race in the US, hell you can even see people racing ridding lawnmowers.

Racing Lawn Mowers Sells Beer.
Any bars near to you have a good Satalite TV.
Bribe the bartender.
Or grab your passport and Max out the plastic.

Look like big boots to fill.

sounds like he was a pretty amazing man, Im sure he will be missed by many people.

Great tone, even for a shitty computer recording.

LOL... you're talking to a guy who owns two guitars and can't play either of them. Granted, neither of them are great (a Washburn from a starter kit, and a Jay Turser PRS-22 knockoff), but I can barely hold a chord because of some scar tissue from injuries to my fingers.

looking nice, looks like a pro did it, but I guess you are one

A thing of beauty is a joy forever.

The country music group needs a new group owner.

Wanna throw your hat in? (I'll nominate you if you're interested.)

you always seem to know how to fix stuff.

happy birthday, I hope you had an amazing day.

good luck with the girl, I hope she turns out to be supper cool.

Did you get a long enough dry spell to rewire that box?

Yeah, I'm workin' on the back. I'm doing exercises and streches as well as losing a mess of weight for now. I'm heading back to the States this week and I'm gonna have them look at it. I'm hoping to avoid surgery, but with three herniated discs, it looks like I may have to get some of what your friend got. That's ok though, I always wanted a titanium back! Good to hear from you again. I wasn't sure if you'd remember me from the first time I was on SG.

wow...some people just amaze me....

I was only in vegas for a few hours before shit hit the fan and my bf Trevor and I walked to the airport at midnight (we rode there with his cousins), slept in the terminal until our flight left at 7am, and sat at the Burbank airport trying to find a ride...

I just watched the video again, and the song that came to mind was You Can't Win by Iron Butterfly.
Thanks for the birthday wishes. I have been up an hour and already got my new sofa. The knee is tender as going up and down the steps sucks

Happy Earth Day!
