wmw999 2,444 #1052 November 22, 2017 What a beautiful tribute; you put your heart into it. I'm so sorry for the loss of your son.

yoink 321 #1054 November 24, 2017 Chris, that guitar looks amazing! What a tribute. I can't imagine the heartache that must have gone into building it. I'd love to exchange emails with you some time, talk luthiery and bounce some ideas off you. I'm currently building my 3rd - a baritone riff on a Gibson 335 with a custom wound set of humbuckers from a UK company called House of Tone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnnyMarko 1 #1056 November 26, 2017 Hubby and I took a Ferrari 458 Italia, Nissan GTR, Mercedes AMG GTS, and Lamborghini Gallardo our for a nice mountain drive this morning. All very fun, very fast cars. The Ferrari was a little too much car for me , I think the GTR was my favorite to drive Having trouble on mobile, but link below to a small photo album https://imgur.com/a/Qru65 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryoder 1,590 #1060 November 26, 2017 So what route did you take? On Friday, I took the bike up Golden Gate Cyn up to Peak-to-Peak, then took that North all the way to Estes Park. Clean and dry roads all the way, and so warm that my hands never even got cold."There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #1069 November 27, 2017 oldwomanc6 Although, for a moment I thought you said good looking cars and fast young men. Same thing, more or less. Not my choice, but that's ok (both the men and those particular cars). I like the fact that Johnny like the GTR the best. The least expensive, least "exotic", yet probably the most fun to drive. It's a real beast. I know a guy who has one, and has done "just a bit" to it. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 800 hp. Apparently the Porsche Turbo wasn't on the list that day. Too bad. Lots and lots of fun, but the physics can make them a handful. The Ferrari & Lambo can also be unforgiving if pushed too hard. The Merc is supposed to be a really nice setup. Looks like a fun time."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
