I know I'm a long time member, by my standards,
but I feel like I'm spamming myself here sometimes.
Your posts are always interesting/informative John
teddy
teddy! That's nice to read. Even the "interesting/informative" feels good.
That can't compensate for hitting my photo limit, and not having much more to say to pump it up.
Not that my guitar is playable yet, the top sanded down for a final finish.
What's that new millennium saying? "If you can make it on Magle.dk, you can make it anywhere".
John, I an sure there is a way of puting a link in if you want to show more pictures. You must show us the fianl results of your work.
With the new guitarists that have joined the forum lately you could be of great assistance to the uninitiated, like me.

Because of criminal interest, I've moved eight times in the last ten months.
Now I'm in a secure, government sponsored residence.
So I should be able to finish the refinish and get playing again.
I've got some bands and other players waiting to get into it, and I'm the untogether one.
Sorry to hear of your problems John. You will have to get friendly with Steve/White Knight. He was in law enforeemnt. Might be a useful contact. Plus he is a great rock/jazz fan. Look forward to seeing the finished guitar
teddy
Yeah, I've got to get residential online happening, so I can do scans and photos.
If there are newcomers interested in electric guitar, that's where I'm at.
Nice to hear from you, teddy!
This is my first posting of the New Year 2011, when I hope to get back out there with my new guitar.
I'd like to wish everyone else the best of health for you and yours,
with a heart for every musical opportunity that opens up for you.

If I'm back, I'd like to share some of my new, less stressed and more successful attitude.
Getting out for long distance bike-hikes around the Niagara Peninsula has really brought me around.
I'll let the photos show, with my font low.
1: A new recreational pathway now circumnavigates the entire Niagara Peninsula, with lots of other trails and inner city paths for everyone except motorized vehicles. This scene runs along the canal between Port Robinson and Allanburg.
2: A Port Colborne, Reeb's Bay sunset.
3: I'm on top of a highway overpass outside of Welland, and that's the mist from Niagara Falls rising in the distance.
4: Reeb's Bay sunset, earlier view.
5: A big sky view showing various cloud features.
6: I'm tempted to make you guess, but that's The Peace Bridge between Buffalo and Fort Erie. The Americans hired an artist to design some lighting, mostly purple and blue. Here's a zoom up the center.
Nice to see you back John and thanks for the PM. Loved the photos. I believe that is gords neck of the woods if I am not mistaken.
Keep well
teddy
Welcome back John, some lovely photos there. Thank you for sharing them with us.

I learned something about myself, being given a digital camera by a sign customer. I was talking about no responses to adds in Kijiji, and he said I need photos. Turns out, nature shots and architecture are my photo interests. I was happy doing six, but I'd like to do more. I see it's a new format here, but I hit my photo limit and haven't done much to bump it up. So I should wait for that. I can't.
The long thin cloud you see, mostly in the previous pictures, is what I call the shore cloud. It's not moving ashore, but slowly twirls and moves along the shore with the wind, something I just see at the bottom of Lake Erie. Within fifteens minutes, my world changed from blues, greys and pinks, to all gold, all orange, red, purples, getting darker.
I could complain about the people around me who like my nature pics more than my guitar,
but when I think of who made these sunsets, I'm definitely no competition.
Please, let me be open and honest about this, seeing my admiration for this domain. A little online trivia.
When I was posting about my guitar on Harmony Central, the oldest and biggest music domain,
I had the most replies and views that year, some say ever. Some called me "The Elvis of the Internet".
Members were profane, debating and insulting, and I actually hired Mr. Bogner, a friend, to make two videos as proof. His father invented camera technology in Germany, his whole family being master photographers, wife and sons. Members also followed me around outside of Harmony Central, impeding and debasing my computer use. It's nice that the names I recognized from there, when they were here, didn't jump all over me.
Anyone reading what I type here should have a sense of me and my style.
That wasn't nice enough, eventually getting me banned for life for "inappropriate posting".
Actually, I wouldn't stop deleting the posts I didn't like, and what me I wanted to remove,
moderators complaining it was interfering with domain functions. I didn't stop.
Receiving interest from Mr. George Gruhn, www.gruhn.com after I described my guitar through his appraisal page, was more than gratifying. He would email me three times a day, sometimes, sharing a dialogue for over two weeks. He invited me down to Nashville, or ship my guitar, two things I won't do.

Fascinating site John. Thanks for the link
teddy
Teddy! Thank you, thank you very much for typing "Fascinating", but, uh, not really.
That was a build to build and get into the computer and have fun.
Five weeks before the election, when I was ready to delete most of that and get very legal,
my online was cut off. I lost hydro the day after the election. Welland!
It's not nice when mechanisms of society are used against you.
Fortunately, no ducks were involved.
