    Could see them very nice to use in a very urban area. Rural areas have too many places that the roads, the rules change day by day lol. Not to mention most large events have a giant field of a parking lot and the hells angels direct the parking. I could see trucking it being useful to go from...

    Had an idea about mining several years ago. I should have pushed it lol. Several places I've worked will do partial shutdown at times. They buy 3 phase power and you get charged the minimum year round even if you aren't using any. Could have used all that power to mine at basically no cost for...

    Had an 4.0 in AK whene I was there just miles away. Sad part is I was sleeping on the second floor of the house and didn't even wake up. Missed it, phooey.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Very thankful never worked anywhere that had an actual HR department. Healthcare, payroll and 401ks and such are contracted out. Personal problems were between you and the owner which normally involved "get your ass back to work and shut up"

    Hmm Exxon refinery has a giant sign "World's largest distillery" on the distillation furnace. I don't think that's what they had in mind lol. Maybe I should throw that idea out sometime.

    Looking at sweetwater today. Something on the front page for $99 or having a special no interest for 48 months. 3$/month for 48 months = no interest. Umm what? I'm not financing $100 but just thought it must be new math. Got my tuning machines. After searching for ones in stock for a few days...

    Keep thinking at some point they will have a top down review and get the bloat out of core, guess not. Even if they did it would get bloated again in no time at the rate they are adding stuff.

    Yeah I know it will do what I want just wondering if anyone had ever used one. The reviews are meh at best. A lot of them saying the sound is horrible. But of course online reviews, normally no matter the item someone will ask if it fits a 1973 Dodge van. Christmas is getting closer, another...

    Anyone use a Boss RC-10R Rhythym station? Combined looper and some drugs/rhythm. I'm not going to use it for performing or anything like that. I have a Boss looper but if I could combine one would be nice if it seems worth it. Or just add something like a beatbuddy in front of the looper. My...

    I don't give tax advice. Apparently I'm doing it wrong. Been self employed for almost 30 years, never audited. Dad in same line of work went self employed the day I was born 50 years ago, never audited.

    GAS. Ordered new tuning machines and while I was at it ordered a new pickup set so both my telecasters won't have the exact same. Plus a new pickguard and control pots.

    I don't how much traffic you would avoid at 6am. A LOT of people in the Houston area in the petro chemical world have a work day of 7-3:30. Right downtown no idea. I lived in Kingwood for a year and it was pretty busy by time to get to work at 7. Downtown might be a more traditional business...

    Looking for a new stuf of 6 inline tuning machines for one of my telecasters. I've upgraded both of the ones I have over time to newer/better fender machines. Looking what else is out there. Like a lot of things availability seems low. Bonus would be black ones but that's not going to happen.

    A lot of locations have been cracking down on them and requiring them to act like a hotel rules wise. Room use tax is a large amount of money for a lot of places. They see it as lost money. Won't take long to figure out a way to tax it to death.
