Hi, another Washburn refugee here!
Big thanks to Childbride and just strum for recommending The Fret. net.
I've spent most of my working life overseas (Middle East) in Civil Engineering Contracting as Land Surveyor, Senior Site Engineer and Senior Planning Engineer. For my sins I'm currently working as a DBA with an electrical goods designer/supplier (it's a whole lot different to civil engineering) back in the UK again. I am Scottish but I'm working in England.
I picked up on guitar again about 18 months ago (after a 10 year break). I've always had great fun with guitar and moothies (Scottish for harmonicas) but have always been a guitar BEGINNER. I'm working on leaving "beginner" status.
My main hobbies are Advanced Driving, Music (listening, learning, playing, whatever) and being married. On the latter I've had three goes plus one long term relationship and am currently taking a break. I still get on well with all my past loves.
I currently own two Washburns, one 2004 Dreadnought D13S and one 2006 Parlor R308S and love them both.
Hey, too much information already!
BTW... what does "Pancakes!" mean?

Welcome Cal!
Any and all "pancake" questions should be directed to Warren.... ask him why.
The Law of Gravity is nonsense. No such law exists. If I think I float, and you think I float, then it happens.

Welcome Cal ! Nice to "meet" you.
Can you tell us more about advanced driving ?
Many thanks for the welcomes folks, this IS a really friendly place!
Hey, ted s... read the Advanced Driving page of my amateur little website (last updated 2 years ago ) and please bear in mind that it's UK based. The text is still OK but the books need updating... I'll do that soon (ish).
Peace, Love and Light.
Cal

Cal,
Hey buddy, good to see you over here. You are going to like it. You will need to kick start the acoustic section again, but I'm sure you can get it done. One of the differences over here is that you feel comfortable in any section you visit.

By the way Spud, I think you'll have to build a fence or something to keep us out.

Hey there Cal, welcome.
I don't think I ever knew that you did site engineering or were that into driving (although I think you posted a pic of cool car). Learn something new all the time.
