Back from Wales

We've been over to Wales to drop my son back off at university.

Lovely weather for a couple of days. Makes a change in Wales. Not a bad drive - M1 a bit stuffed up with ghouls rubber necking what looked to be an awful crash on the north bound carriageway.

Gillingham - can't beat Brighton but can beat Leeds - go figure! What chance we do actually avoid the drop?

I also think a Red Bull will win in China tomorrow.

    I would leap to the defence of the Welsh weather but it's true: we have a lot of rain. But the last few weeks have been beautiful. Everything is very dry.

Tom Edwards' Poem "Why I don't drink anymore"

I drank for masculinity and it sapped my potency; I drank medicinally and got sick. I drank because I thought my job called for it and lost my job. I drank to stimulate thought and blacked out. I drank to make conversation and got to where I couldn't talk at all; I drank to forget and became haunted. I drank for freedom...

12 String Guitar - Bridge Doctor Installation

Image
Remember my 12 string needing to have it's overbelly reduced?  Well I ordered a Bridge Doctor  from StewMac in the USA which arrived in a couple of weeks. Here is the bridge doctor before installation Here is the action before - about 5mm on the bass side and about 3mm on the treble.

Set the doctor to the best width - the circular plastic bolt holder has three settings - I used the widest you can see to allow string clearance on the 12 string - on a 6 string the middle would probably be best setting.  The doctor ins...
