You may wish to rethink that one -

Sorry to disrespect the dead actor but…The “curse” was James Dean himself. He was short sighted (in more ways than just his vision) and had not developed any talent for racing. He was an all gas no brakes stupid rich kid who thought not backing down and spending money was all he needed to be a racing legend.

I was kidding. I don't need another car I can only drive half the year.

Maybe buy something else fun when I sell one down the road.

I ordered another guitar to go in my home office?

New TV stand in the living, just need to put it together. Once that is together and I decide on what 75" is going to replace the 65", I'm going to order a better turntable and preamp as well.

Then I'll probably not spend anything for a bit.

What kind and make of guitar? I used to play finger style acoustic but haven’t touched one in about 7 years. Arthritis is just too painful.
I have three custom built Andrew White six strings, a custom built Duane Noble Harp Guitar, a first edition, (they only did two runs) Larrivee BT60 baritone and a little Felix the Cat Martin. I should look at selling them.

ESP LTD EC-1000 FM Amber Sunburst, with nice binding and fret inlays. I'll have to grab a picture of it when it gets here tomorrow.

Got my Quickjacks off the floor today.

Dadhawk · 09-28-2025, 09:53 PM

Rebuilt our front steps today. Now just waiting for them to "dry out" enough to paint/stain.

But at least the UPS guy is no longer taking his life into his own hands delivering a package.

I had to change the USB outlet in the charging station I made a few months ago. The 4 outlet I got on Amazon seemed like a great deal at only $15. Well, found out why. It only lasted a few months until it stopped working. I went back to Amazon and looked up the reviews, and several others had same failure.

So got a Legrand outlet. $52. I guess you get what you pay for.

My garage cabinets are supposed to be here Tuesday. It's been a month since I ordered them

They are on their way - we have had some weather in the mountains to contend with -

Well, they were supposed to send me a text yesterday with today's delivery window. No text yesterday. I get woken up by a call at 7 this morning by the drivers saying they will be at my house in 10 minutes.

At least they had a pallet jack, and put it in the garage for me.

Got everything unpacked and inspected. Everything looks good. These look even nicer than I expected.

Now I have a mountain of packing material to deal with.
