OT: I don't have Albums, Bookings or Books

The LP I'm building has a nice flamed maple top, but the back is black walnut instead of mahogany.

 

Well, poop...I was going to attach a picture or two but the program is bitching at me because the files are too large. I'm too ragged out to try to shrink them down--the damned table top for the duplicarver weighs close to 200 pounds and I ache all over after installing it today. Maybe after I get some sleep.

I was thinking the same thing, may just use my Flickr account and link it. They don't care how big photos are so it's easy.

I used to have 2400 pounds of weights along with the various accessories, 6 bass amps, 3 guitar amps, a very large selection of tools, and 4 good size shelves full of the usual stuff in the basement. Plus all the gear from 2 gigging bands that rehearsed at my place....2 sets of drums, 2 PA's, monitors, amps, etc.

 

Then one night I was dropped off at home at midnight in a downpour to discover a failed sump pump in the basement. I spent the next 3 hours carrying everything up the stairs, across a deck and out to the garage. The purging started shortly after

Back in 2015 there was this hurricane named Hurricane Joaquin. It never made landfall. Instead, it stood off the coast, bracketed by other storm systems, and funneled unbelievable amounts of moisture into central SC. I have a rain gauge. I had to keep dumping the rain gauge before it overflowed (5" capacity). The final total here at my house was over 17" of rain...in a little over 24 hours. It was one of those rainfalls that sends people to the shoulders of Interstates, hazard lights flashing, because they can't see to drive, even with their windshield wipers on high, only it was like that for hours on end.

 

I'm fortunate, in that my yard slopes sharply, to the tune of, like 75' from one end to the other, so flooding is the least of my worries. Erosion? Yeah. Flooding? Nah. But other people weren't so fortunate. A buddy of mine lives over in a district that experienced heavy flooding. He has classic guitars and amps dating back to the '50s. He went into his music room and found it knee deep in water. Some of the amps were on the floor. A few of the guitars were on hangers on the wall, but hung low enough that they were getting wet. It wasn't pretty. He didn't purge anything. He just moved everything to safety and started drying things out.
