Y'all, A text from Roger made my day. Apparently he is feeling better; he sounded better. Hopefully I'll be able to scribble a bit more later, but right now I best get in the kitchen and do something with that fish. Just wanted to pass on the news. This thread is not dead yet.

Chaps, Thanks Fittop! We all had a good time and are looking forward to our next bash at the end of the month. Delighted to receive an email from Rog. Looks like he will soon be back with us. In the meantime he can count on our best wises for a full recovery.

Y'all,
It did seem that the first full week of work in the New Year seems longer than planned. If one overdid the spending, even longer.
But the traffic seems lighter somehow and the restaurants not quite so crowded. OK, it does seem some folks have doubled up on their silly, not to say dumb, pills.
But we are all catching up on things we've neglected during the holidays, not to mention the added tasks of the new year. Can it be income tax time again?
Tried to call Roger yesterday but might have been a bad time for him to talk. Will try again today. I am also looking forward to reading his thoughts here. Meanwhile, stay well and pass out smiles.
Update: Apparently some sort of "flu?" is going through the facility. Very short conversation with Roger. He will call when able.

Gents,
Greetings all around and especially to Roger.
Tax time indeed is upon us. I've had nasty surprises previously so hopefully I'm sufficiently padded economically this season to just hand over the money without raiding the savings or the money for this year's holidays. 'Tis also the season for housing taxes so it is a pretty expensive period.
Speaking of sharks, and I believe someone just did, I was reminded of the time Roger, Dux and I found ourselves in the Pacific Ocean I mean literally, in the Pacific Ocean. If I remember correctly we had been lured to the region by Olga, perhaps Dux can dig the sordid details from his mind if they have not faded in the fog of time, but we were concerned about the number of sharks suddenly privy to our precarious position. Dux wanted to take them on by thrusting a harpoon into them, Roger presented a gun, announcing that he had taken great care to keep the ammunition dry, and I produced an experimental Taser proclaiming that this new equipment would have the advantage of killing the sharks without drawing their blood, thus avoiding attracting even more of the blood-lusting sharks.
Before we could put each method to the test and decide which worked best, Fittop and Oldgrognard flew to the rescue in a PBY.
In other business, I'm thinking of getting a race horse and calling it Gorn Myson just to hear the announcer saying "Go on My Son".
The flu apparently has also found it's way here as I am slightly under the weather, going nauseous yet hungry to bed to bed the other night at 8 pm and pretty much sleeping 12 hours straight through, still feeling the aftereffects today of whatever hit me some 48 hours ago.

Hi Chaps! Thanks Fittop. Things might be a bit quieter this month mainly because the daughter of our lead guitarist is over near Beverley Hills for a month and he has to keep her 7 year-old son occupied during that time! It looks like the worst of Ciara is aver or the time being...I wonder who dreams up those names. Jens, There are some really good Chinese guitars coming over here courtesy of AliExpress and we have several of theme. Most of the US brands seem to have been copied and it takes some doing to separate them from the originals regarding construction and finish. The pickups and electrics generally leave something to be desired when compared to western circuitry but they can be improved without much trouble. My next bass might be the legal Ibanez SR2600 in cerulean blue. They are lighter than most other basses. The above mentioned lady also has one in natural blonde finish...just like her .

Chaps, Countrywide flooding and high winds still in force but clear though cold here today. A few more bookings have come in today including New Years Eve. Something to look forward to without being too busy.
