Happy Fourth of July fellow GBL'ers

Lunch report will be short and sweet today as I have two parties to attend before getting out to the lake to watch the fireworks and I'm running late already!!

What are you plans for this holiday?

I'm also slow due to a bit of a hangover, last night was the first jam of the season out in the jammin cabin, my uncle came over to tune my drums, my old lead player happened to stop by and we were wailing till midnight. The cabin is getting a bit of a makeover this year, new windows and doors and I don't have all my gear out there yet, the story of the jammin cabin comming up tomorrow.

Again, sorry for the short report today but i've got to get moving.

Here's some random G&L pics,

I'm planning on staying out of the heat as much as possible. It's 100 degrees again today and extremely dry here in Missouri. I'll spend the evening watching the pasture and yard for fires. A lot of places around here have banned aerial fireworks due to the dry conditions, but that won't stop my dumb-ass neighbor.

BBQ over at friends. I have enjoyed my 4th so far by watching CERN presentations on their discovery of a Higgs-like particle. For me as a physicist, that is what you call fireworks!

Have a fun 4th but be careful with fireworks. As an old Dutch infomercial points out, it is an excellent treatment for acne when it blows up in your face! :think:

Great guitars! From yesterday: I have a few guns too. They are literally dusty from use... Ha ha. Here's a pic of me and one from a movie poster:

Stuck in the office today for another couple of hours. Such is the glamorous life of a computer nerd.
This is the first July 4th I've worked in years. Kind of a drag as I do loves me a good fireworks display. But on the plus side
when today is over I start a 2 week vacation.

So Happy 4th 'o July to all, and happy birthday to Will
stay safe and have fun,

Jeff

Hey Duck,

No reply other than an old group shot--without flags:

(My Lucida Picado flamenco nylon string is missing from this photo.)

I still have them all. Nothing new.

Happy Independence Day to you and yours.

Happy belated Independence Day for all U.S citizens! The SB basses came in Red, White and Blue so this is my Patriotic post.

I own a white SB-2, first generation bass,just like the one in the ad, and it is a fantastic bass.
Here it is:

I appreciate the article too.
