I’m jealous. Kiddo, without permission, used mine to scoop goat feed and the goat broke it. Kiddo bought me a new one but it doesn’t show the 1/4th cup mark which ticks me off every time I use it.

Meh. My girlfriend-of-the-moment thought I could have got him down to $0.50 each.

Her name wasn’t “Griffin” by any chance?

She would know about MIRV.

"I plan on reconditioning the Fender."

Put new strings on that Fender and STOP right there. The less "reconditioning" you do, and the more scrapes, dings, gouges, scratches and paint-worn wood showing, the more it'll be worth as a vintage collectible.

I know a guy who found a relic vintage pre-CBS Strat (actually a '54!) and he was going to "recondition" it (paint the body, nitro-cellulose the neck, etc.) I convinced him not to.

The guitar sold at Sotheby's for $82K. Had he re-finished it, he might have gotten $20K, probably less.

My dad [rest his soul] had a knack for *finds* at yard sales...possibly b/c he was so patient. He’d buy a baggie of old broken costume jewelry and find scraps of discarded gold jewelry in it.

I probably hate you. And if I don't, it's not because you haven't earned it.

By far the most beautiful things in any museum are the works of God walking around.
