CyberJoe / Nonsmoker - White? Just get a Jem7VWH. Want mine? Oh wait, Nick Lee made me like mine. I installed a black Edge on after I ripped out the gold Lo Pro. That piece of crap. It broke strings far too often and I was always conciencious about wearing gold so I hurt my shoulder badly when picking a lot while not having my arm rested.

Well, I lied. I'm up to 16 pages.

And one good thing has come out of it. Although I still don't like the redesign of the T2J page, it seems to have helped eliminate the flame wars of past. Seems like no one read Avarice's comments.

matt king - I've heard nothing but bad things about Windows ME. However, I have it on my computer and have never ever had any major problems with it. Weird.

hey guys,

AAARRGGGHH!!! why oh why are bosses such (how can you say it??)... ASSHOLES!! i've been home injured for the last 2 weeks because i stumbled on some stairs i was cleaning at work. i have badly strained my achilles tendon and wrenched the ligaments in the front part of my ankle. now my boss refuses to aknowledge it as a work injury because there was no witnesses. the closest guy to me was 50 metres away in another room... i'm really getting frustrated about this now...

matt king : (cool surname btw)... i had winME on a laptop computer last year. never had any problems with it. but... we never got to use it very much because someone thought it would be fun to bust into our apartment and take it, along with our dvd player.... anyways i use winXP and its dammgood...

ford debate : i was 2 days away from my first driving test when my instructors ford escort diesel decided it would give up the ghost... at a t juction... in the middle of the rush hour. needless to say i had to learn how to drive a new car in 2 hours before my test, couldn't do it and failed...

i am still waiting for my mitsubishi galant to arrive now...

ford debate..well..i have never really liked fords even though i learned how to drive in one....my mate is ford mad....but i prefer Honda, and the other japanese cars.

Food - Drink - Eating chocolate and plain crisps is quite nice. I like drinking Ribena neat. Peanut butter - good husband repellant. ha ha. Another good husband repellant - Marmite ha ha ha.

Local Person - you get bad throats through being up drafty alley ways doing goodness knows what. ha ha get better soon.

JOE - do you intend paying us a visit on here or not, isn't it about time you took a minute or two out of your busy day to chill out a bit and read some of these messages. Moan over, will you join in the food debate, what weird stuff do you eat.

Go to go back to work this afternoon, still, on the upside the tea trolley will be round selling tea and chocolate.

I studied Shorin Ryu Karate for 4 yrs (also Uechi Ryu and Aikijitsu) and when I got to brown belt level, my sensei would show me what each move in the kata was used for....In Okinawa, Karate is a lifelong journey....Not a quick jump to get your blackbelt....It takes 3-4yrs to get it over here....One of the first schools I joined was with Sensei Nakamura (8th dan, Shuri-Te), and at his class you were a white belt until you were ready for a Black Belt....No colors in between....He would teach you the kata, and not correct your every move....He would point out small areas to you that needed correcting, and then it was up to you to practice, practice, practice!! And to watch Sensei perform Kata! Amazing....On the initial bow his eyes would glare and stare through the walls....Penetrating his opponents that were not there!! Beautiful to witness....Beautiful Art.... ..........Thanks for bringing up the subject of Karate Sensei Clarky :-)

Psycho_Monkey: the only problem with the niiju man en is that the guitar is a Hoshino Anniversary Model that is 4yrs old now....I don't know if I should fork out the scrilla for it :-/.... BTW....The guitar store I go to showed me the RG2081 (Hardtail) and RG2120k(Tremolo version) from a mag....They are made from exotic Koa wood from Hawaii and have the Air Norton and Tone Zones in it!!!! Unreal!! goto: http://www.hoshinogakki.co.jp

All this interesting food talk makes me want to eat some raw sashimi and wasabi!!!!! BUT I LIKE IT (in JOE's voice).....

AVARICE: Were you talking about the 1963 Mustang guitar?!?! Great guitars, BTW....The way to fix the blown head gasket is to remove the springs from the trem cover plate and install a new gasket....Use a pressure tester to make sure the seal is good...Then shred away :-)

Hey Invigor: Why not get a Nissan Skyline!! Fastest 4cyl. on the PLANET!!!!!!

For Adun: Is genitilmen....I mean gentlemen a neutral gender term ;-) BTW, HAPPY 100th!!

JS Clone 1: Glad Nick made you like your 7VWH!! That trem change seems to be giving you a new outlook :-)

Peace all, /\/\ike

Mr Nick, I've had a Honda Civic for 13 years and spent less money on it and time at the garage than my in-laws spend on their Fords in the first 3 yrs. they owned them. Love my Honda!

Man, off the board for a little while and looks like A LOT has happened. What's this I see about recommending RDG Austin?!?! What are you guys talking about? :) Looks like I have some reading to do to play catch up.

Been busy working up some material for a new CD. RDG received an "honorable mention" nod for this year's San Diego Music Awards. We're playing a SDMA Showcase at Winston's in San Diego Sat. 10/12. There's more info off my site, so I try to plug too much. Just can't help wanting to share my music with all you guys given the fact Joe is bar none the main reason I'm doing what I am doing.

Joe - You've changed my life forever man!

So what's this I see about RDG?!?! :-)
