Oh I believe in yesterdayThanks for the replies y'all. It's good to be back on the board. Y'all are starting to make me have GAS! I've seriously been a very busy boy...and I don't play my guitars at all. I play bass at church and that's pretty much my only opportunity to play during the week. For those of you don't know...I'm married to Shannon (nearly 12 years now)...she's an exTaeKwonDo/Nationally Ranked College Debater/exRollerGirl/from the westbank of New Orleans. She is the driving force in our household, but she has a softspot for this engineer guy...which I haven't quite figured out why....but I'm digging it. Then there's Cecelia, my 7-almost-8 year-old daughter. She's halfway done with 2nd grade and is a budding artist and soccer goalie. She loves Michael Jackson's music...and has memorized almost all of his songs. I think she's working on Elvis next. She's a chip off her mom. Finally, we have JT. He's 3 now and is growing up quick...must be all them honeybuns he eats. He is in a growth spurt I guess...ate all his mini raviolis lastnight and was still hungry...not much baby fat on him now....me...eh....not so much.
I do like to eat. Jay...when you come over here...I just might have to take you to Mama Hamil's
http://www.hamils.com/....one of the world's best buffet places. It's a 2-story building with as much parking as Cowboy football stadium...and can feed 5,000 men not including the women and the children, but the food is hole-in-the-wall good. $8.95 all you can eat. The other day, one of my coworkers was there and put on his facebook that he saw Gene Simmons there. It gets so packed at 12....that you can't get in the door...better go at 11. I left my seat to get icecream onetime when it was packed....and I came back and my seat was taken.
LUNCHUnfortunately, I can't eat at Mama Hamil's today...I'm headed over to Louisiana for work at one of our Substations. I work as a Sr. Engineer for Entergy, a large electric utility in the deep south...with some nuclear plants sprinkled around the northeast. It just so happens that I get to work with my dad today. He retired from the Substation Relay department 2 years ago after almost 35 years in the same job. Late last year...he started contracting back for the company...and seems to be loving it. More pay...same job...less responsibility and headache. So we'll probably go to the same ole watering hole just outside of the little town we'll be in. **edit Yup...got a plate lunch of fried chicken, mashed taters, and red beans and rice with a small slice of yellow cake with chocolate icing for dessert and sweet tea to warsh it down with.
G&L TOTDI wonder whatever happened to the G&L Whipper Snapper amp that was announced last year. I saw the NAMM prototype on ebay a while back. I see GA has em. Does anyone have one? Tim?
Non G&L TOTDWhat was the last Record/8-track/Cassette/CD/DVD/Blu-Ray/MP3 of music you bought? Was it any good?
I bought Dumpstaphunk's "Everybody want sum" mp3 album download. If you like the Meters and anything funky...then you'll love
http://www.dumpstaphunk.com/. They have TWO Bass Players...straight up tendin to bidness. There are some really catchy tracks on there...and some cool instrumentals. I give it 4 out of 5 widgets. A Widget sounds better than a Star to an engineer.
Here's one of their new track "Greasy Groceries"...how fitting for the Lunch Report. Shrimp Po'Boys...100lbs of burled crawfish....bacon grease...

And now for something completely differentI miss my 1989 Toyota 4x4 extended cab Hilux. She died one day when I was going to class. RIP One day I will find one just like her.
