  1. I need a powersource for pedals and an inline tuner for ... tuning. I could go search and read this whole thread or, someone who knows the answer could save me the hassle. Current count is 1 wah pedal and 2 other pedals. I suspect that number will increase by 1 tuner and who knows what else.
  2. This guitar has been with him since 12/25 and has likely had the tuner clipped on the entire time. Two rings/indentations and we will never make that mistake again. This guitar is really pretty and this isn't a "play it and don't worry about the dings" situation. So, I'm off to the pedal thread to discuss in line tuners. In other news, I'm taking him to see Bob Dylan play, which is nice.
  3. Aaaand, Gibson shop minimum is $500. Surely there is someone competent that can come in under that, right?
  4. Today I learned that if your son leaves his clip-on tuner clipped onto the headstock of a les paul, it will fuck up the finish. Option 1 - send back to Gibson for repair. Option 2 - hire some Austin person for repair. Comments?
  5. If I had a pool, I'm not sure I would want the ducks gone. They don't add to the enjoyment?
  6. I drive a lot of GM products with the lane departure feature that will direct you back in the lane. This technology I recently experienced was far superior. Type your destination into the computer, press the blue button, and relax. I presume all manufacturers are working this up and it will be a big deal when it is widely available. I would go so far as to say self-driving will become the exception. Ill drive a super cruise and report back.
  7. Houston gas pump tried to get me to donate to cystic fibrosis something or other this weekend. seriously? Why does the damned gas pump care about whether I’m charitable or not?
  8. Test drove a new Model S today. Rode around in full self drive mode for a good long time and I must say I am very impressed. What other cars have something comparable… for those who might want to consider a different brand?
  9. Wanted to get it filed quickly?
  10. Cochon Butcher muffaleta is on point. That's not a giant sandwich but it's a lot of meat. Would eat again.
  11. Not feeling the Reuben from Stein's. Meat was thin sliced and dry af. Maybe they had an off day but that thing was underwhelming.
  12. I'm travelling to NO for a week of difficult work, long hours, etc. and the Marriott Metairie is the nearest decent place to my destination. My problem is, there are a lot of nicer and cooler hotels that are near to a lot of nicer and cooler restaurants, and that place looks online like something from the movie Office Space where there is likely a Bennigans in the lobby and coffeemate in the coffee. Anyone have any thoughts about the commute from Canal street to Metairie?
  13. Applying to private dorms is kinda a pain in the ass.
  14. Yeah, this guy defended Oprah, in a suit brought by cattle ranchers, in Amarillo, and won. I suspect he’s got a trick or two up his sleeve for Blake.
  15. Looks like she filed something in Texas to compel a deposition which, I guess, subjects her to some jurisdiction in Texas. This guy has entered the arena https://www.jw.com/people/charles-babcock/ His resume indicates he’s got some experience. It’s getting warmer now.
  16. There's a taco restaurant in Dumas called Frieda's Burritos. Would eat again.
  17. Dumas Hampton inn is older but better than Dalhart Hampton Inn.
  18. My favorite is the “I’m not afraid to testify - I’m ready for my deposition - I don’t need to prep, I’m telling the truth” crowd. After the all day depo they always say something like “that wasn’t that bad, right?” uh, yeah, I’ve seen worse.
  19. Someone needs to be beaten on and bloodied, by legal process and legal fees, for a lengthy period of time, before they’ll see the reasonableness of a settlement. Not enough bloodletting yet - just getting warmed up.
  20. From the looks of the pictures I suspect she’ll move on and find someone else to pay for the party.
  21. http://www.yahoo.com/news/alleged-drug-kingpin-caught-wife-182908822.html i would be upset if my wife did this to me.
  22. As someone that has sailed a traditional sailing warship, for a time, has stood at the spot (on the deck of the Victory) where Lord Nelson fell, and fired cannons in Greenwich, Portsmouth, Newport and Lisbon (almost Cadiz), I offer these observations: 1. Those mf’ers are heavy. If they started rolling around once, I bet changes were made such that it didn’t happen again. Victory had 32 pounders (cannons that fired 32 pound cannon balls). 2. They were at sea. Oftentimes the Atlantic, which can be nasty. The ships rolled around a lot. The notion that these cannon balls we’re sitting around watching the thermometer drop and then, “voila!” sorta defies common sense. Imagine the ship bouncing and rolling around a bunch. 3. Most of these sailors were uneducated. The saying about the British Navy was it was run by rum, sodomy and the lash. I doubt they spent much time thinking about metal thermodynamics. I think people like the story because it blends a little history with a little salty talk. There is more interesting and better history about naval warfare. Some of it salty too.
  23. I’ve never been to Philadelphia. mid I were to go food 3-4 days in May or June, where should I stay, and what should I do?
  24. UT has a framework for auto admit homeschool. I think it’s something like 33 on the ACT and you’re in.
  25. 3/3 now, UT said yes for major choice 2, wait until 2/15 for first choice. Good luck to the rest of all y'all.
