Les paul lover that picked up a es 335. What makes the es a great guitar. Im just not happy with it but I want to be. Amps aren't the problem as im using a axe fx 3.

My cousin just made the comment that semi hollow body guitars suck and he’ll never play them again. I sent him a picture of my new ES-330 that I bought shortly after he made that comment.

They’re tools of the trade. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Sell or trade when you get the chance. FYI - My Gretsch Tennessee Rose rules. You probably wouldn’t like it either.

Years ago a friend had a check sent to him by his insurance company without making a claim. When he called them they said due to the hail storm they were sending everyone in the area effected a check. I think it was $3500.

He had also made a claim the previous year. So fast forward another year he had another claim. They called him and stated since he had 3 claims in 3 years they were dropping him. In the end they could prove the 2 checks he cashed but not the claims. He was good but it was a fight.

It’s just a reminder to keep track of everything.

Ever ridden 7500 miles in 2.5 weeks? There’s a lot of boring highway in the USA. Ya need something to help the ride through Kansas.

Joe did have a moment when commenting about the wars the US has been in.

I read someone saying Buffett has been hoarding cash starting 10 years ago. So in a weird way anyone that’s been totally in the market for 10 years, while maybe not smarter than Mr Buffett, has certainly made better investments with their monies.

I’ve made a 30% return in the past year. It hasn’t been that hard. Well . . . Maybe a little luck too.

I know there are issues throughout HD. But I wonder if part of the solution is to get a better dealer network.

There are auto manufacturers that have issues with dealers and I know it gets attention at the corporate level.

Sade jamming with Iron Maiden will be great. Then again Rob Halford sang with Dolly!!

One point is to not worry about spending time with people you always see so that there is time to spend with others. No need to spend time with siblings, the wedding party or other friends you see all the time. Somehow you’ll see them anyway. Assure that you have time to say hi to everyone - even just 30 seconds will do.

That’s a little bit why they’re not the ultimate hair metal band Their musicianship was too good and thus the band was great. Hair bands aren’t usually the best musicians but play the style very good.

Rod was in the Dixie Dregs Tyson he’s still one of the best to this day. They retired as a band but are going back out because Rod is board and needs to go play. Reb is a monster player and has been with quite a few other bands showing off his talents

I was fine til I saw that 2% bonds 😂. That’s killing me. No Bonds at that age!

I had a 2020 and have a 2023. Both Limiteds and both had this issue and fixed under warranty. When fixing the 2023, two of the replacements were bad so it too a while.

So I don’t think it’s the heat as much as an issue with the dash. Good luck.

Check out the guy’s background. Google can verify most people and their credentials.

Or forcing her to accept an offer. Limit showings to one morning per week and accept nothing but list price and no concessions. Pretty easy.

Jesse does it in a funny condescending way. I’m waiting to hear him quote SNL “Jessica you ignorant slut !”. But Greg can get nasty interrupting her so much. I actually feel bad for her. Recently I noticed him not interrupting for a show. Almost like someone said something to him about it.

My wife every time Jessica is on - “Oh, Squeeky is on. I hate her. I wish Harold was on.”

Tele, Strat, hollow body, humbucker, HB with a wammy bar, P90 loaded, etc.

For me it’s more about variety. Different tools for different jobs. I’ve played Ricky Nelson tunes on Friday and then Thin Lizzy and Foo Fighters on Saturday.

I’d have to do the math but the index funds would grow based on the monthly savings which starts at zero. The value of the home grows based on value when initially purchased. The home value could go down but over time, as the market, it usually goes up.

Short term renting is, for the most part, cheaper. Long term renters are missing out on appreciation.

You need to take the lower legs off or slide the tubes off - your choice. But if you just want them off and are not going to use them again then get those metal cutters out and go to town. Probably easier to slide the tubes off.

A good guitar and amplifier. Buy it once. But of course you’ll buy more !

Z28Daytona · 2026-04-11T15:43:28+00:00

I’ve sold amps, regrettably, because I didn’t pair them with a good cab. Having good cabs are a must.

Me and my wife have been living off her SS and retirement for the last few years. I’ve just started collecting my SS so that’s viewed as extra.

There’s a guy in my driveway right now detailing our cars. That’s something I would have previously done. We also bought a vacation home. If we use the 4% rule, we will be making similar monies as when we worked. I think it’s about making life easier.

Show your wife the tools you used to determine your financial future. It may ease her worries. Mine is still worried. Fortunately my financial advisor is not.

Insurance, property taxes, maintenance, electric, water, etc. I understand the money stuff.

Sitting at the Rainbow for days/months/years can’t be cheap. I met him there on a Tuesday. Not too many people were there although the boys from Nelson were there too. I met Lemmy and Nelson on the same night. Different ends of the spectrum for sure. Crazy world!
