But I'm sure it won't work either, cat-gut guitars need a box.
Yeah they need more box or an amp. I have the Taylor T5z Pro and it's OK without an amp but not really. I think you have to accept it isn't really an acoustic in the traditional sense.

You are 100% correct.

I'm going to look into an old Wilson student classical that I had many years ago, still miss that guitar.

Picked up the wife's new car yesterday. We ended up trying something different outside of the Germans. Really happy with it, hopefully this one she'll keep for more than 2 years!

Congrats! I like it, it looks bad ass!
Those wheels look like they're going to be a pain in the ass to keep clean

At first I thought that the reflection of the driveway were running boards
It's leaking oil

I don’t like the steering wheel design either, but the wife does like the fact that she can rest her hand at 6 o’clock, so compromise there. The vehicle is perfect for her in every other way though luckily. We looked at every car in the class and it came down to this and the RDX.

Adding to the Ryobi collection. Mini air pump. Way easier than using a floor jack for the bikes and far better than hauling the compressor and extension cords around the car. Light as a feather and very fast.

Can't beat it for $25.

Congratulations my guy! My neighbor recently got one and a good friend of mine wants one. It's an eye catcher and if equipped correctly as yours appears to be, enough oooomph to boot. Perfect color also. I'd like to hear your feedback on a couple of months...

More snow is on the way. My current 50# bag of calcium chloride is on its 6th winter and almost used up. In Northern New England, most winters I went through a couple of bags due to a bigger and steeper driveway and lots more snow and ice.

Thanks Marcus. The wife has been a fan of Genesis since the G70 we drove back when it was new. Ever since they poached the Germans for design and chassis engineers they've only gotten better. They're definitely hurting Lexus a bit too I think, a bunch of people in my neighborhood who would only buy Lexus or Asian Luxury vehicles like Infiniti or Acura are making the switch over. Now if only they'll bring the X concept to production!

Too lazy to go out to the garage so using a stock internet pic, but finally let our yard folks go and will handle it myself. Bought the mower a while back but realized the battery powered leaf blower was not going to cut it for our 3/4 acre lot…

I have the BR700, the 600-800 blowers are great and last forever. Don't forget most of them have a cold weather mode switch under the air cleaner. Enjoy!
