MUCH BETTER!

Thanks for asking.
I had a great morning.
Picked up some peaches, plums, grapes and cherries and the farmer lady gave me some tomatoes she was proud of.

Two questions Party Guy: First, where is the bar?  Second, where is the shitter?  In case I need to take a shower....with the girls.

Mexican or Chinese?

Mexican or Chinese?

Indonesian...  Vintage Modified Jaguar hadn't changed the bridge yet and just thought the tonal deficiencies were because of that crappy bridge.

With this much paint on it, I think it would survive reentry to the Earth's atmosphere.

I am seriously thinking. I should ask for just a new body to be mailed out to me...  Even under their Squier line, this is not normal. I have stripped enough paint off of Squiers!

Call them up, you sometimes get lucky and they will send out a new body and bunch of swag hoping you will then praise them on social media.

Those stabby bridges can tear a palm apart in minutes.

The last time I called, and not trying to use a friend as a connection, I got a guy who couldn't spell guitar let alone point one out at Guitar Center.🙁

I am hoping that they have somebody that can do the social media end of things and act a little quicker.  I'm also guessing that they would like to have that body as part of a quality control evaluation. There is no way they want to be wasting money on crap like that.

My violin-playing kid loves the scale and the string tension.  The Lennon Rickenbacker was flabby to her.

Bart, two questions:
1.) Is there a cuckshed outpost located in northern Utah?
2.) Is the radio station that Heather went to work for in southern Idaho?

im not bart but i would clean the mass air flow sensor before replacing it. use starting fluid to clean it; it is relatively fragile so be careful with it.
 no smoking/sparks or other sources of ignition in the area for a while. wait for the fumes to dissipate before starting.

starting fluid leaves no residue, unlike most everything else.

it could also be a number of other things, like a bad o2 sensor, a faulty fuel injector and so forth. seeing how its only on one bank, i tend to not think its a mass air flow sensor.it could even be something as simple as a bad spark plug  or wires (if it has those). if it has coils on the plugs a bad coil is suspect, as fords are notorious for that. this gives a weak spark and usually sets a misfire code, but not always.

You wouldn't happen to ride a WR250?

Dear Bart,

Good morning.

My wife and I are still using our Samsung Galaxy S4 phones for over four years.

If we had to upgrade, what would you recommend.

Dear Bart,

I had a water leak that, while replacing some damaged drywall, ended up doing a whole dining room remodel alone.  Adding crown molding, ultra fancy baseboards, new fixtures, a new color scheme, etc., etc...  My kids have blown smoke up my ass multiple times, they either truly love it or or are banking some kiss ass for future needs.

Now I am getting shit for the rest of this ugly house, bad color schemes, old drywall patches, etc...

I can barely walk to the end of the block, but don't trust most contractors and am aesthetically OCD...  Do I act as my own tryrannical general contractor and be a holy terror to those I hire or hire a remodeler and monitor them continuously and be a pain in their ass?

Dear Bart,
A friend of mine has recently started his own business. He has all the gear and nearly 40 years experience with recording, mixing, mastering and remastering audio for music and podcasts, and creating production music. (Some of his music has appeared on the BBC and on TV.)

He has made a website, advertised on fiverr, facebook, myspace, freelancer.com and instagram.  All business cards, videos and sample demos are ready to go.

Is there a productive place to advertise that is missing from this list?

Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
