Thanks Jo.  I'm a farm boy living in the suburbs.  I do my best to work hard and have fun outdoors, but it can be difficult on 1 acre of land.

I got sick of having two feet of snow in the yard around our back patio so I took the snow blower out and cleared out an area big enough for a little outdoor cooking.  We had the neighbors over for a few afternoon brews in the sunshine and the kids were jumping on the trampoline behind me.

A true outdoors person does the outdoors thing no matter what, right? Even in the suburbs and whatnot.

Less than that!  I have pulled out a couple black locust fence posts and rusty barb wire from the property lines.  The old farm dump was the drop-off behind my barn/workshop.  Lots of rusty bits back there.

I'm 6'3 and 200 lbs, and I'll assume you aren't calling me fat!  Oh, you meant the guitar???

I love this damn guitar.  I don't know if I'm ready to give it up.  Someone wants it and I know I can build another, but I almost feel that that other has to be the one to go.

I just crated up Sawzall #2 for shipment.  48x13x8 box was 27 lbs.  The crate was 1/4" birch ply.

How much does a solid body weigh?  I've never played one.  A Republic or other metal body reso is pretty heavy too.

That guitar looks so much cooler when you see someone playing it.

Thanks Rob.  Hopefully we see someone in Chicago playing the electric version.  Shipping today.

The leg doesn't bother me at all. 

I find that I tend to rest my arm on the box and the edges and corners dig into my forearm a little.
