Very good words, MKM ... well put together.

I agree that trying to live without hope is, well ... kinda hopeless. So many people struggle with loss, mental health issues, disease, and challenges of every sort. About 35 years ago, I began the habit of reading through the Bible each year ... still do. Whatever a person needs to do to keep the inner fire of hope alive, and improve their own character day by day, is a worthwhile investment.

And so we bid a sad farewell, dear friends, to JJJ's bread machine.

It's quiet and unassuming demeanor was an example to all. It saw its purpose in life to simply be silent in the background, while numerous pics of guitar acquisitions dominated the spotlight. It will not be forgotten, and we bid it "Adieu et Bon Voyage", knowing that the world could use more bread machines like JJJ's. No matter how you slice it, a great disturbance in The Force has been felt.

Let the Viagra / Cialis / Levitra jokes begin!

Red with a maple fingerboard ... one of the prettiest Fender combos ever. Mark Knopfler and David Gilmour come to mind, when I see one of these. I'm not familiar with the Squier 51 ... it appears to have a Strat body, but the switching looks like a Tele. And the pickup config is different also, with an H-bridge and an S-neck.

Nice job, Russell!

Birthdays! Cake, ice cream, gifts, parties, greetings from friends, and singing candles:

Have a great one!

Mojo & Tyson ... congrats on owning such a fine guitar! The guy who owns the one I played is a business associate, and he explained about the various sounds it could produce with it's pickup system, and the switchings on the side. And you're right about the neck ... fast and smooth.

This might make a good photo for a Caption Contest. Mason Williams released his famous song "Classical Gas" years ago. This would make a good album cover for classical guitar renditions of rock songs, calling it "Classical Combustion".

Everything seems to change as time goes on, in either its meaning or purpose. Some for the better, some not so much. And we sometimes wonder why others don't just leave well-enough alone. These are the thoughts your poem conjures for me, Peatle ... very nicely done.

Great choice, Badeye! I remember that this was one of those songs we always made up different lyrics for, depending on the situation. A buddy and I were distributing top soil (using shovels) for a new lawn years ago, and he started  singing "Just a flingin".

I ordered this Ibanez WD7 wah pedal last week, and was informed yesterday that it's unavailable until mid-August.

This seems to be a common pattern when I've ordered stuff for the past year or more, whether it's tools (router), household items (air conditioner), car parts (tires), or music gear (wah, locking tuners). Most stores are focused on cheaply-made, entry-price junk, and won't carry quality inventory anymore. I hate wasting my dough on trash, and am happy to buy better quality to get better performance and longer life. Have we become so addicted to paying the lowest price, that we don't care how or where it's made?

Grrrrr ...

Some poeple embody talent on a bunch of different fronts, and Kathleen is certainly one of them. Great share, MKM ... thank-you!
