Now you know why I blended :-0 Got it down to a manageable 5.8-6%, will definitely leave you nappish after a couple

Hmmm. Honey. Reminds me I have 15 kilos of Australian wildflower in the shed sitting waiting to makes some signature Bjørn Håmmersküll Mjolnir mead. Metheglin, anyone?

l'd be playing an el cheapo 4-string acoustic tenor guitar with 1 of the strings removed and a magnetic pickup added in the bridge position and the action raised up high at the bridge for ease of playing with a pipelink slide and the 3 strings left on the guitar would be wound strings and in the end l'd pretty much be doing the same thing l'm doing now which is leave weird and rambling responses on online forums and blah blah blah blah blah...

I'd still be building Jeeps instead of letting my 1947 Willys collect dust.

Eric,

 

Why not just install a 12 ft roof beam for a neck, and stretch the wire from the Willys winch to it? Driveable Diddly Bow!
