I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.
Yeah I saw that too. It's not set in stone yet.
Last year they had high end Gibson guitars on sale, which honestly, wasn't very helpful, because discounting a $3500 guitar to $2400 still isn't doing me any favors. I don't like spending more than $1000 on a guitar, because I like to replace hardware and electronics to make the guitar my own. Really expensive guitars are made to be played as is, and I'm never too fond of them. However, Fender just released the new MIM strats, and they're getting rave reviews, and they're less than $700, which is in my price range. I already own one from the 90s and it's fantastic. I'd love to own another. If they go on sale on Prime Day, I might have no choice but to buy one. (MIM = Made in Mexico... and yes, they're pretty damned good compared to the American made Strats, and for the money as well.)

Where did I say anything about removing borders or making a 'North American Union'?
I said the United States should invade and annex and make Mexico part of the United States. In the long run it would be cheaper and easier to deal with than the steady stream of illegals coming across our borders and dealing with corrupt after corrupt after corrupt government that Mexico always has. Everyone in the country is on the take, from their politicians to their military to their federal police all the way down to each and every local cop there is. And now with this wingnut they just elected, it makes even more sense to do so.
Rented a rototiller this weekend to put some more grass in and try and keep slowly rehabilitating the back yard that was a mess from before we moved in. We put in this new type of grass called Dog Tuff Grass that is supposed to be very drought resistant and heat resistant and stand up to dogs. The first test patch came back really well and really green and we've barely watered it at all. So we bought more to do another section.
Here's the first section of it from last year:
And here's the next section going in just to the right of the first plot:
That new plot is only about 140 sq ft but holy fuck did that rototiller wear me out. The ground in our yard is so hard and that tiller pulled like a fucking bull moose. I'm sore and tired but better than the alternative of digging it all by hand. Just barely got a small portion of plugs in the ground before it got too fucking hot, but we'll get the rest of them in Wednesday morning before it gets to be way too hot again.
Never in a million years thought it would be this hard to reign in a backyard that was just left to the weeds. It's ridiculous and expensive.

I think I'm going to grab a set of the Fender hot noiseless pups. I've been listening to demos next to the Tex Mex and the Texas Specials, and the hot noiseless pups sound pretty good, and without the 60 cycle hum. I currently have lace sensors in my MIM, one red in the bridge and two gold in the mid and neck and they don't sound like strat pickups at all.
I've never played a tele, not even to try it out. I might have to change that sometime in the near future.

And the little shit is gone. I'm assuming his behavioral problems hasn't gotten him and his mother kicked off of the plane. I'll have to wait until they land to find out whether the other passengers murdered him.
That kid was the absolute worst I have ever seen in my life. It was all I could do to keep myself from blowing his head off with my shotgun. I kept telling myself, "He's only 6. He's only 6. He's only 6..."

It's funny. My best bud, who is an excellent guitarist, but who primarily plays metal, and only with emg pups, loves my tele. Franck up the amp, gain, etc, and get really good tones. I guess most associate tales with country. They do that too, lol. Of my guitars, the tele is a absolutely my fave, mostly because of the neck.
It's official. Prime Day starts July 16th @ 3pm EST. It lasts a day and a half.
