Don't forget all of the electric guitar choices: single-coil or humbucker pickups, bolt-on or set neck, rosewood or maple fretboard, jumbo or vintage frets, mahogany or basswood or many other body...

I'd say just knock your goblet around a bit to remove the "brand new" look, and you're in good shape. To me, items (like the goblet) that look "well-used" appear more authentic, and less costumey. ...

Guilty. :oops:

Hi Jock,

Just wanted to say that I'm glad to hear that you're improving, and I wish you the best (and continued improvement). Sounds like reality has been rearing its ugly head as of late in...

Hmmm, I can usually find CFL's around here for about $1 each (still more expensive than incandescents, but not bad). My trouble is that they seem to burn out quickly. I'd heard that this has been...

Wouldn't be the same if it didn't go through those neighborhoods - I grew up there.

Don

I've done nearly the same - just without the jacket. White shirt, black UK standard, blue tie, blue flashes.

Don

41, started wearing kilts at 40. Wish I'd started earlier. :)

Don

Great news, congratulations! Hope that further updates are also so positive.

Don

2.96 - first try all the way through (although I ran through the parallelogram twice to start with).

That's cool - I'm gonna show my kids that one.

Don

I own one of each. I like them both a lot, but I think I prefer the survival, partly because of the amazing pockets, but partly because the material is not as stiff (yes, even after many washings,...

Maybe it's just me, but everytime I see the title to this thread, I think of the "Naked Gun" Beaver joke.

Don

PS - Even though it's too late, I wanted to suggest either Bob or Doug.

Can't make it to the Pints, but YES on ROKS.

Don

Sorry to hear it, man. I'm afraid that we'll see more of this on the forum, unfortunately. I suspect things will be rough for a while. Keep your head up.

Don

Ah, the "no-scalpel" snip is the only way to go. No stitches, very little pain, quick recovery. I used a couple of bags of peas and a couple Tylenol for the next day - that was it. I was riding a...

My UK Survival did quite well in 15 degree (F) weather the other morning - I was wearing heavy socks, underwear (didn't feel right, somehow), and a hat. As long as the wind wasn't blowing and I was...

Cool - I love Repo Man and the soundtrack too.

Don

Hmmm, I'd have to say that these are at the top of my list (in no particular order):

How the Grinch Stole Christmas
A Christmas Story
It's a Wonderful Life
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation...

BEAUTIFUL pictures - please post more!

That house has seen/lived a lot. It would be great to know its history.

Don

Happy Thanksgiving, all! A good time to reflect on what we're thankful for (or what we should be thankful for). I think reflecting like this more than once a year would be even better, though. ...

Cannondale Super V mountain bike (1998 with many upgrades - I've replaced/upgraded everything except for the handlebars), low-end Bianchi road bike (with many upgrades), no-name commuter bike (bought...

Wish I could make it, but alas. I'll raise a pint for you all, though.

Don

More pictures from Long's Peak festival - you won't see these everyday.

This gentleman was kind enough to produce a nice pose. ...

OK, I finally got my things together (actually, got the computer working again - $#*! Microsoft!), so I thought I'd post a few of my pictures from the Long's Peak Highland festival.

Here's the...

It was good to meet all of you on Saturday - sorry I missed Nighthawk & Beeman, though. Nice to put some actual faces to names.

I really enjoyed the festival - just wish I could have gone back...
