    What did you do today?

    On guitar forums I always try a Karlson cabinet search and often get some hits. I confessed to liking gimmicky designs.

    What did you do today?

    We've come a long way from the days that a speaker box and a mike were placed in the bathroom to get a special effect. My son still has a Fender amp with a spring reverb. On vacation once I caught a Flatt and Scruggs 'whistle stop' show in my home town. It was in the court room and for some...

    The Riversong innovation is that string height can be changed instantly on the acoustic with no fuss. The solid body electric neck angle is a bit more intricate with multiple stud adjustments. Truss rod adjustment is to take out warp and bow not to adjust neck angle. It will be interesting to...

    It used to have a prominence in the US but was essentially absorbed by DOW Chemical. The plant in my area was closed after being sold twice. I guess the boiler was demolished.

    The trash didn't even have to be segregated. It could contain putrescibles, medical, plastics, metal, and whatever. I viewed some of the ash containing mauve colored burned nails, strange shapes of what had been molten glass or metal and other stuff that wouldn't vaporize. The good news if the...

    @Flyover, the Riversong electric sports some of those innovative adjustment features as well. The infinity neck joint isn’t a bolt on system, it is a three bolt threaded stud system that allows infinite adjustment of: Neck angle for string height Deck height for space between body and under...

    What did you do today?

    I read an interesting article regarding disposal of plastics in third world countries by burning in high temperature rocket stoves. It reminded me of a local endeavor that ignorant politicians wouldn't buy into. The late DuPont Corporation had built a fluidic bed All Fuels Boiler (essentially a...

    What did you do today?

    My Bonavita is the 8 cup thermal carafe. I didn't do a real comparison as my transition from pour over was gradual. In the beginning I liked Chemex mainly for appearance but I never purchased one. I opted for a Tricolator and stuck with it until the filters I was using became unavailable. I...

    What did you do today?

    Fixed some popcorn. I've used the HotPop microwave popper for 14 months now. I like stuff that works as advertised. That goes for my Kreg pocket hole jig and my Bonavita coffeemaker as well. I did pour over coffee before getting the Bonavita but I got lazy and for over five years now let the...

    Wood is like gold

    When I built my house I purchased a lot of #3 pine 1x12s. I ripped them and used them for all my mill work using molding cutters on RAS. It think they were about $0.30/BF back then.

    What did you do today?

    I just realized that the Allman Brothers got their start at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, AL. Duane lived in a tent in the FAME parking for for a while before he was heard. I always wondered how come the name Muscle Shoals rather than Mussel?

    It was apparently photoshopped from this Schlitz ad.

    Wood is like gold

    I have an Alaskan chainsaw mill but find it to be hard and sweaty work requiring frequent chain sharpening. I find it easier to freehand saw some blocks out for lathe work. I am going to look into free pallets as a source to make smaller stuff. Edge gluing can make up for width but length is...

    What did you do today?

    That is a country boy statement w/o any intent. Much like the army using "clicks" (an artillery term) for distance measurement. When living in Florida and Maryland living close was good for social reasons especially with the kids. In MD we had some wonderful backyard meals shared by several...

    What did you do today?

    I somehow hurt my thumb. I don't recall hitting it but do remember trying to turn a quarter turn valve at a hard to reach strange angle. Whatever the cause my thumb was swollen on one side and throbbing so bad that I could count my pulse. I made several attempts with needles to lance it. It was...

    What did you do today?

    While waiting in the tire shop I saw a guy with naked ankles pretending he was sockless (it must be a fashion fad). I noticed that he was wearing those girlie socklets or whatever they are called but they were just peeking out a bit. I wanted to whisper in his ear, why not just man up, get some...
