  1. So the MAGA people that stormed the Capitol on Jan 6 to try and prevent Biden's election certification will now storm the Capitol on Jan 6 to keep Trump's election from being certified? Well played simulation. Well played indeed.
  2. F you, I won’t do what you tell me!
  3. If you have the funds, absolutely. If you are able to avoid touching your HSA money you can access it for any reason after the age of 65 without penalty. Drop a percentage you are very unlikely to touch into a good index fund and let it grow. The main issues are: being healthy enough to have low medical expenses and having a big enough emergency fund to cover minor expenses as they arise.
  4. Hey Celery, This is from the Australia Fender site, but I suspect the US site will be the same sometime today when it drops. It gets pricey depending on the package, but Fender is offering several Hello Kitty packages including gig bags, straps, pedals etc that you can buy individually or as a package as a Fender website exclusive.
  5. I tend to have less interest in the classics compared to most on this forum, so I expect not a lot of kind reactions. However, this intrigues me. If they made it in Pelham Blue, Inverness Green or even Metallic Red, I would be very tempted. https://www.gibson.com/en-US/p/Electric-Guitar/Victory/Gold-Mist-Satin
  6. Andretti should issue at press release that they are preparing to provide a couple of cars for the next race if Haas can’t get their gear out of the impound lot.
  7. The Isbell Tele is 20% off at Music Zoo. Actually, all the artist guitars are 20% off. Code: Artist20.
  8. Yes, our insurance company (AAA) allowed us to place our son on "away" at college coverage the 1st year. He lived in the dorms, no car. He was still covered if he was home on break/summer and was driving our cars. Surprisingly, they also still offered the "good student" discount his second year when he took a car back.
  9. Parking is fairly easy. If you want to shuttle, RR offers several pick up and drop off locations for $65/person. https://redrocksshuttle.com I have never used a ride share service, but I hear that can be a bit of a mess.
  10. I'm of no help. Maybe this guy can help??
  11. Beretta Storm Px4. 3 sizes, modular backstrap and easy to rack slide. My wife tried several of the options listed above and the Beretta was by far the easiest slide to manage. She ended up with the compact version.
  12. This right here. The intelligent move is to give the place back when you have plenty of laps to challenge Oscar for the lead. The team has allowed clean racing with these two this season.
  13. Via Ferrata if you have one close enough. It really doesn't require a ton of muscle strength or skill, but super fun. The 70+ y/o may elect to pass if not in shape, but everyone else should be fine. Definitely do the guided tour though. https://www.coloradoviaferrata.com/about-via-ferratas/colorado-via-ferratas/
  14. Assuming you replace like for like parts, a team is allowed to repair damage.
  15. Swiss made, well constructed. They started with a coaxial cable connection in version 1 and moved to a magnetically held auto connect version. Apparently it was stable and well secured. Someone here linked it a few years ago. They initially had pretty good support from several aftermarket pickup companies. You could even get the exterior structure separately and add any pickup to it that you wanted. As an engineering nerd, I found it pretty cool. You could go from single coils to Pearly Gates in a few seconds.
  16. That's where I felt Relish developed a pretty cool system to quickly swap out pickups in the same guitar. Too bad they could not make a go of it.
  17. All of the above, but also the Blackstar ID:core is a pretty awesome amp that gets overlooked.
  18. http://www.4runnerhouse.com Joey owns/runs this shop in DFW. Tons of OEM parts and is a good guy. He took care of my 93 pickup when I had it.
  19. Weekend project time. My son is back from college and he has decided he wants to start playing guitar again. We pulled out his guitar that he hasn't really touched since late Jr High/Early HS. Plan to clean up the scratchy pots, good cleaning and some new strings etc.
  20. I don’t care what anyone chooses to buy or their rationale for doing so, but an Audi fan shitting on Toyota reliability? You know what also isn’t alive and well? Any ‘90s Audi.
