Russ, Next time dont forget "Hook and Loop tape is your friend" make a metal shelf, cover it with the magic material, Wa'La!  YOu can turn it upside down and it aint going anywhere. (unless the glue on the tape fails yikes  )

Don't feel bad.  I've seen US Marines drill holes all the way through computers so they could bolt them to the desk to make the ship ready for heavy seas.

Happens to the best of us!

That is because they did not call the Navy metal smith to do it for them!  We used metal bands across them in a sorta U shape. LOLOLOLand mount them to the desk.  They must not have been Airdale marines. cause they train the same place we did.  lol

I will save this one in my favorites.  Very cool engin you have built.  Hey mods, this one is cool and free

GW I hope you stick around and share your thoughts with us. this is one of the best guitar forums I have found.

Hmmm I wonder what the teaching method was?  Starvation if tehy dont get it? how many hours  a day were they made to sit there?  I may sound extreem, but it really is how some countries do things.  Just look at teh BS 6 yr old beauty queens with the sadistic moms who were never good enough to win on their own, and now they are giving them even more attention with a tv show?????

ok off my soap box.

A lot of us have a quote on their post`s. Some are from famous people.Some I would imagine are self thought up(for lack of a better way of putting it). Where did the quote come from and what does it mean to you. Mine "ENJOY EVERY SANDWICH" is a book by Dr Lee Lipsenthal. I have never read the book myself,But it basically means to treat every day like it`s your last. I first heard it from my greatest influence and idol. The late Warren Zevon. He said it on his last appearance on the David Letterman show. It always stood out in my mind and I use it all the time. So to everyone "Enjoy every sandwich". Make today a great day.I have a lot to be thankful for and I try to remember it all the time. Nothing to do with food or sandwiches.    Where did you all get your quotes? How and why, what significance?

Mine change frequently, my current one comes from the band HELLYEAH.  and the song Cowboy Way.

Its cool and its also in honor of Vinni Pauls Brother "Dimebag" Darryle Abbot who was killed onstage in Ohio.  His favorite drink was a shot of Crown or Seagrems with a splash of Coke.  They called it a Black Tooth Grin (stolen from a Megadeath song)

As for a life quote,,
To thine own self be true.

Sad but True, My brother is a prime example. except instead of a Doctorate its an MBA. 

He is now compeating with the rest of the MBA's who are also jobless.  Maybe you should put a verse in on how a tech school and a skills trade is more valuable or viable than white collar jobs.

I would like to hear your playing of it.  not sure if I sang it tomyself right.  I kind of went with the"For What its Worth" style on it.
