but.....if it's fret wear, don't u just change out the frets? Although I hear that's a helluva job to have to do....

Then again can't imagine changing an entire neck cuz of the truss-rod adjustments, etc but what the heck do I know!

Pippy, I'm smack in the middle of it. Never hid my age and never will. Every year is a gift, so why not own it :-)

Cappy Steve- Sorry to hear of your loss......53 is just too soon... Good vibes to your daughter.... may she have a perfect pregnancy .

Anibur-I am glad your dad is doing better, hope he continues to.

Michelle- Thanks for sharing the Andy Rooney......funny but true..lol.

BlueMoon- The mother/daughter / son band........yes- disturbing. Would have been less so had the son ever blinked....Those were the widest open eyes I have seen.........yikes!

Kayla- prayers for your mom.....Hang in there and never give up hope.

ooh lawd its all go today, fantabalouso

McDave - I gotcha. Ya, it's really difficult out there right now. And bennies are dropping off fast. We are a long ways from climbing out the hole this country is in. Hope things look up for you soon. If you work in manufacturing however, it's just going to get tougher. More manufacturing jobs are getting shipped overseas than we can shake a stick at.....and manufacturing is what makes this country money. Without it, we have very little to offer the rest of the world and very little income we can generate to get out of this mess we are in.

Rofflier: I know it's an old post, but according to my collection page, I have bought swta at least 40 times!

I've been off the forums for a while working late nights on my new iPhone app. I'll post details shortly.

Ok, login to Twitter - and view this pic - Joe with Whoopi!

Joe, Chad, Sammy, Mike, Stu & Whoopi

Mikesb - was she sat too clost to the Olympic Torch (Alanis)? I missed it....

Cheese - ah, glad you two had some nice time. Couldn't bring guitar on the bus as too big for the 'hold' (just curious)?

Scuba - unless on the road I'm pretty sure Gary B is still Joe's luthier. As it's just a neck swap I'll plump it's Joe tinkering. Good idea on the pub lunch!

My red/white JS1000 is in the shop now (where Muse have their work done), having a re-fret. Slightly concerned that the luthier has phoned twice in around 5 days to confrim I want 6105 fret wire

Joe Satriani - I'm guessing you swapped a favourite feel neck from one baby onto another? Or how about a 22 fret neck onto a JS2400 to see how it sounded : ) Any shims required anywhere?

Michelle - good attitude to have on both counts. Only as young as you feel... actually, I've just thought - Pips tip of the day, always make sure your partner is a lot younger lol

Axe - why not get your 1200 routed for original edge & put one in with locking studs (about $30, & original edge bridge only without claw, new springs etc around $200 + however much for someone to cut the slightly deeper rear route)?

Good point re the acoustics - and I can't find one over here to go try : ( Black acoustic = uber cool

Cappy Steve - sorry to hear that, I skimmed posts and missed it. You've lost far too many already, just not fair. Sending good vibes your way

Blue Moon - who's crack? (cue joke from Cube)

castle, YAY!! Have a WUNNERFUL time! And I hope u spot Joe and maybe score a hug :)

Pip, he came over on a shuttle bus, smaller than a greyhound. They have some restrictions on how much you can bring...if there's not many riding that day he mighta been able to bring a git, but u never know till it's time to board, and by then it's too late. Ahhh well, he lives through it, LOL! I try to keep him extra busy whilst he's here :D And if that doesn't work, I threaten him with chores, LOL!!!

And now fer today's funneh....

Church Organist

There was this small church down in Texas that had a very big-busted Organist. Her breasts were so huge that they bounced and jiggled while she played the organ. Unfortunately, she distracted the congregation considerably. The very proper church ladies were appalled. They said something had to be done about this or they would have to get another Organist.

So, one of the ladies approached her very discreetly and told her to mash up some green Persimmons and rub them on the nipples of her breasts and maybe they would shrink in size, but warned her to not eat any of the green Persimmons, though, 'because they are so sour they will make your mouth pucker up and you won't be able to talk properly for a while'.

She agreed to try it.

The following Sunday morning the minister got up in the pulpit and said.....

Hi Joe--Hope you're in a good place today and you are in the moment (why should I doubt it?) every step of the way! You are a shining light to us Satch Fans/T2Jers, whatever u wanna call us! LOL!

Whenever I'm away from here, I miss so much......I missed a couple of comedy "shows" on here about "brown sound" and a "Chapman Stick" (coulda been Chapstick for all I know...LOL!) Then there's the Canadian/American comedy "show" that is ongoing with all kinds of witty re"Mark"s from both sides of the border!!! oooooo! :-/

Al McMoon--Thanks for your view of the team Ireland and the winter games.....always enlightening! Thanks for sharing your boundless energy on this forum! Keep up writin' those songs......great pedal board btw.

Guitarvibes---Anything you would like to share about the Netherlands team in the winter olympics? Just askin' for your point of view on the games. Thank u.

good luck with the band keniko!

Joe: Great to see those blue posts.

Kayla: Prayers to you. Keep your chin up.

Keniko: Thank you, I had a good birthday. On my birthday, I chatted in the Chat Room with some of the T2Jers, and met up with my running group afterwards for a run and to go out to eat. BTW, no birthday drink for me; gave up ice cream, any energy drink, and any alcoholic drink for Lent. I'm not a huge drinker since I run a lot.

What a busy day & night for me. I got called in to work (at the hotel/restaurant) this morning, then worked a couple of hours at my other job (until the next worker arrived), renew my liquor license, paid bills, got a haircut (trim/buzz), tried to get my kilt trimmed and resewn for that 5K Kilt Run on the 13th, and visit my folks. Whew, glad that's done. I'll have another busy day tomorrow.

Take care peeps!
