Sunday... PAM 48 disguised as a 50:

Dirt has got to make the top 10.. every single song is GREAT!

Doc what macro lens are you using, 90mm tamron? Looking really good.. shows off the height of that Clark crystal. EDIT: I'm illiterate.. saw "90mm" in the EXIF but didn't see you actually mention the lens in your post...

This is a great thread, just what I needed to be reminded of.. and let me chime in with my experience: Few months ago I was extremely depressed.. well, it hasn't been cured but let me tell you, loading up my ipod with "Dirt", "Facelift", "Master of Puppets, "And Justice For All"... has done wonders. Seriously! One night i stayed up for hours listening to these albums and others (Weezer's "Pinkerton", Pantera's "Cowboy's From Hell", Radiohead's "The Bends" and "OK Computer"...etc.).. and somehow it was so therapeutic. I don't understand why, but it helps.

Also, it's not like it's $50k down the drain... they can buy it, use it as a sample, and then sell it. Only money lost is the depreciation.

Sounds like lies to me.. maybe they have high-resolution pictures of the genuine, and the rep production is based on that! Or, possibly, at least with some models.. they do have a gen to use as reference, and it is stolen.

Ahh.. didn't sign on yesterday and look what I missed! Glad to see JohnG has returned, and very glad to see his attitude. Beating up on oneself, shame and all that.. no good! Bad cycle. Very happy at this moment

I'll tell you what breaks.... the neck of my 1976 Les Paul Custom right where it meets the headstock. Well, it's not broken, but cracked. The guitar had been set on the floor and a friend stepped on it.

Luthy Luthier Luthiest Keep at it, man.. you'll be top dog one day

Holy crap, alpha! That is one killer set-up. I just got a Q6600 machine.. got an Ultrasharp 24" for it... thought I was cool......... but your machine is insane!! SIX hard disks?? And I think your video card is going to run Wolfenstein and Doom 2 with no problems.. lol. WOW! Well done

JohnG, I want to address you directly....... you're a good guy struggling with some issues that you're well aware of. I like you a lot, and I respect the humble and honest manner in which you confessed. I feel a lot of compassion and empathy toward you, as I think you know. We all have our demons. You're not a bad person. You need support, and I hope you will get some of that outside of the forums -in person. Please get out of the house and do what you need to. And for the times that you can't do that, I know there are a bunch of guys on this and other online forums that care about you and support you. It's appropriate for you to feel bad about the pain that's resulted from your actions, don't dismiss that... but also don't dwell on it and expand to believing deeper negative things about yourself. Your internet bud, SA

If it's a real ETA 2824-2, I buy every RWG member a drink. Congrats on your good looking Sub though! The pearl is actually decent. Now let's see a wrist shot
