I've just caught up to the smart-watch craze ... with cutting edge 2012 technology

And I've got to say, that its awesome having notifications on my wrist.... and a battery that I don't have to care about.

Nice choice! I enjoyed the snot out of my Pebble. I really feel like it was the best (and best supported) smartwatch on the market for a good while.

New strings

For my "Significant Other" [emoji12] .. A late 70's neck-thru B.C. Rich Eagle with an original Kahler Tremolo. [emoji48]

Y'ever try half rounds?

 

[bcrichster]

Yes, and ribbon wound. Was an interesting sound. I like these boomers but I also change out the twangy solid "G" (17) with a round wound D'Addario "G" (18) to keep the twang outta my Metal, Lol. So I run 10's with 4 rounds & 2 solids.. Beautiful harmonics too

 

[lunatic59]

I loved the sound (and feel) of half rounds on my bass (Telecaster) No buzz or squeak, but plenty of brightness.

Can't ever beat the perfect (for you) instrument and is practically a crime to let go, even in times of need.

Uh oh ... looks like I need to be locked up.

I was strictly speaking in a matter of perspective.. Kind of when you wanna smack someone and say "..what were you THINKING?!" Lmao

Is that a real Telecaster or a Chinese Telecaster?

Nice!

I have been instructed to buy a laptop for my boss' niece using the company credit card. I was looking at a touch-screen flip book for her.

If you have not done that yet, consider the ASUS flip touch screen laptop. It flips 360 degrees and makes a Tablet.

I just bought one last month and really like it.

the keyboard could be better, I am a "touch typist" and never look at the keyboard, and it does not have a strong enough feedback for my heavy fingers... but, a girl would get along with it just fine.

Washburn makes a lovely Telecaster model.. Had a black Gothic style Tele (once) with red banding and humbuckers. What a graceful beast!

Is that a real Telecaster or a Chinese Telecaster?

Real Fender, made in Mexico.

 

[mikedt]

Was just wondering, because iconic guitars like Telecaster and Stratocaster clones are made in vast numbers here. I know they make a heck of a lot of electric guitars right here in Jinan, Shandong.

Actually, that's the one I was looking at.

If she brings home a bag of apples and asks you to help with target practice ... RUN!

Personal ownership of crossbows is legal in China, guns are not.

Your wife fancies herself as William Tell?

Daryl is more likely...

Wow, Daryl's crossbow is $800+.

Finally moved up past the 40" HDTV.......http://www.bestbuy.com/site/saturda...lack/4529100.p?id=1219764139514&skuId=4529100

So far so good, got the picture setting adjusted to my fancy. Just to get used to the size compared to my old 40" Toshiba.

I'll take your hand me down, mine is only 24"


I bought a 128 gB SD chip, stuck it in a MMC adapter and then plugged that into my daughter's old Sony laptop with the very slow 5400 rpm hard drive... she does a lot of image editing, and bringing up the files from the computer's hard drive is slow....
