Got a 48 scale B17 bomber for Christmas. Better yet, depending if I want to build it this way or not, one side of the fuselage is clear.

The "Visible" B-17. It has a bit more detail than the regular kit. I still have one un-built in my stash.

Way back in September I sent a gut a big curly maple board to make a carved top for the Les Paul style guitar he is building for me. Yesterday I get the e-mail saying it was finished except for gluing the neck to the body so I am hoping to have it in my grubby hands next week. Now I just need to purchase the electronics, pickups, knobs, plastics, truss rods, etc... and put it all together. Oh, and I need to find more money to pay for the rest of it!!! I do take donations.

Got the 'Tin Tent' back, after having all the locks and the ignition barrel changed, and a full service thrown in too, and all for a very good price, by the guys who normally do all my vehicle work. A 'normal' garage would have charged at least four times the amount !

Yeah, you don't get to see that very much in the wintertime. Heading out to lunch to soak in some Vitamin D and hopefully not freeze my tootsies off!

Finally got tickets to see ELO in concert. Waited like 40 years to see them.
what pickups are you going to use?

Have not decided yet. There are so many to choose from all claiming to do this and do that. I'm hoping to get this setup as close to a 1959-1960 Les Paul Standard as I can. Looking to get the sound that Duane Allman got on his Standards from the Live at the Fillmore East Album, also on the Eat a Peach album.

Skip ahead to around the 27:15 mark and right at about the 27:20 mark you'll see what I'm talking about.

I do not play a Les Paul, but I have a old (1964 era) Martin HD-28- and I had a Fishman pickup installed recently. Very pleased with the results. Wish I could play like: late- Duane Allman, Stevie Ray Vaughn-- sad to hear that Eric "Slow Hand" Clapton is, at age 72, suffering with early onset of tinitus.

Wife's hearing aid fell in water. Dried off and it still works.

and the hammers finally hammered someone for a change...
Back to our accustomed position of mid-table mediocrity.
Yep!
Scored me a new book was going to order it, then found out it was available 5 minutes from work at the local Aircraft museum....
