    Default Hi guys. Long time no see

    Well, I haven't been playing my guitar for months. No spark is there so I guess I'm burned out on it. I sold off a lot of my gear but kept a couple of guitars, two amps and a pedal for keepsake. I noodled off and on but no interest. I became more interested in shooting at the range, bought two pistols and joined several gun forums. I planned to go to the CHL class to get my conceal carry permit.

    I guess my interest/hobby has changed.

    So how's things? Y'all missed me?

    Yee-haa! Nice to see so many returning forumites.

    I'm glad you didn't sell off all the gear. Try some alternate tunings next time you pick up a guitar.

    I'm getting back into guns a little, mostly for optional home and personal defense for my wife. I'm about to go check out a few Springfield Armory sub-compact 9mm and .40's later today.

    Good brand. What I have are the budget models but they had been 100% with over 1000 rounds each. I have an S&W Sigma 9mm and a Sig Sauer P250c 40sw. Fun shooters and both DAO which are what I prefer for safe carry with a round in the pipe.

    Hey Kiteman!
    Yeah we was wondering where ya been!

    Keep playing guitar - never stop! Perhaps signing up for some lesson might re-ignite that spark?

    Yea, I heard. Glad you're back too.

    I can't get the spark back because my doc are drug testing me so I gotta stay clean.

    Hey Kite! Good to hear from you! Muddy, I have seen you around lately too. Great to see some folks wander back in!!!

    My advice regarding getting fired up again I got from Tone2theBone (I think he's into guns, and bows, and fly fishing gear as well) a long time ago. Plug a guitar into an amph, tune, then turn it up, loud enough to be a bit shocking. If it doesn't almost scare you a little, it is not loud enough. Hit a big old A chord and let it sustain. Repeat. then go from there! Rock on brothers!

    Well after 6 million attempts to log on,I made it.I have been a lurker because I don't know why but it has always be hard to log in,but I have a mini-mac now!I saw the mud man and I had to get on (I'm looking for a liver for ya bro) Kiteman I have been playing the heck out of my guitars and have been building at lease 15+ guitars since last april.I have been able to go into a recording studio with a couple of pros and watch 'em lay down the magic (totally blew my mind) I learned ALOT that day.Next is a new camcorder so I can post vids of all these gigs I have been filming.Sumi
