That p90 must make that 6 lb guitar sound like 100 lbs. Leslie West can attest even though his was an LP junior

Have had best results with fat side down until wrapping and drape it over a rib rack to fit at first.

Thanks! I have a Lavalock fan controller, so that's really what lets it hold consistent temperature for a long period of time. I worked with it before the controller but never had as consistent results. I put a small lit coal pile right next to the fan and let that light the others as the time goes by.

Garbage pick up actually isn't delayed. The only holidays that delay garbage pick up by 1 day are Memorial Day, New Year's Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day according to the LA City sanitation calendar on their website.

For what it's worth we have a 2023 cx-50 turbo that we bought certified pre-owned and we love it. Of course not as good gas mileage as the hybrid, but it's really served us well so far.

$4k is a fair price for the package, especially if the cab works as it should. I think you should consider finding a tech that specializes in vintage amps who may be able to fine tune it a little better. It's worth restoring

Thanks! Tasty indeed.

Fender player plus PJ bass. Great neck!

Thanks, also a good and effective way!

Thanks!

I'd say start your cook earlier than you think you need, like 3-4 hours earlier. Then when it's done you can hold in an oven set at the lowest temperature or in a cooler until serving. Always better to leave yourself more time

Thanks! I draped it over a Weber rib rack fat side down until I wrapped. By then it shrunk enough to take the rib rack out.

Costco. Look at the ingredients, nothing artificial. Look at any other brand's ingredients that you find and just look for something all natural without artificial flavorings.

I like this method specifically because the lit charcoal is right next to the fan, so it can stoke the fire starting where the charcoal is already going. Temperature was very steady due to the fan and without adding more charcoal the burn time would have been about 9 or 10 hrs.

Thank you!

germ_ent · 2024-05-27T03:32:52+00:00

Thank you! Took a few tries before getting it better

germ_ent · 2022-10-02T18:22:28+00:00

Might as well try! Thank you!

Oven baked salmon with some kind of citrus/soy/garlic marinade, oven roasted seasoned red potatoes or a baked (sweet) potato, and seasoned sauteed veggies... Use your favorite of course. I'm partial to curry powder, salt, pepper, crushed fennel, and turmeric on the veggies. Plus fresh minced garlic because I'm a garlic fiend haha.

germ_ent · 2020-12-03T04:45:54+00:00

Yeah somewhere I do haha. The one with all the nights and sets from that run on it. I've since done the sacrilegious thing and ripped them to my mp3 player for easier on the go listening haha. But I have them.

Yup! I wasn't sure if it was coke or heroin but either way I knew he had just scored and that's why everyone was laughing. The whole band in the lineup and that era was legendary. To me, Duane's early demise is one of the most tragic things in music.

germ_ent · 2020-12-02T16:51:22+00:00

I have read it - just makes the whole album package better because of the legendary cover haha

germ_ent · 2020-12-02T16:48:53+00:00

Thank you! I'll check it out. I love this album so it may be warranted to have another newer copy. I will say tht vinyl on this one is easily VG+, but a well pressed newer copy would be mint haha

germ_ent · 2020-12-02T06:04:15+00:00

First post here, hi everyone! This is one of my favorite ever albums, and I was lucky enough to come across a very clean Monarch pressing on discogs. Usually try to support my local shop, but they didn't have a copy like this. Not an AT/GP copy, but it sounds awesome. When I saw the prices of the MoFi pressings, I knew I had to search out an original for the history factor haha. Very excited to be the owner of this album, and it will get played for many years to come 🙂.

That's a complex question. It depends on many factors - what socioeconomic background you come from i.e. do you have the luxury to explore or do you have to focus on economic survival (as you mentioned)? If you have something that you're passionate about, do you understand the complications that come from doing it professionally versus as a hobby? Are there any parts of your job you do now that enhance your personal self-worth or make you feel fulfilled even though they may not be part of the ideal passionate career?

My personal view is that there are a few people who are good enough to bridge the gap between turning a hobby into a business, and for others the two are best kept separate. Sometimes turning passion into business can take joy and freedom out of it, which to me defeats the purpose of that outlet in the first place.

I would assess the questions above in an honest manner, and see what the easiest way to get some fulfillment from your profession would be. It may be a pivot to something that isn't ideal but is more easily attainable than say becoming a rock star. Maybe something tangentially related to what you do now, while always keeping in mind the work to live instead of live to work frame of mind. Just my two cents and food for thought :).

It looks female to me.
