Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

Better keep the gas tank at least half full at all times

Always. Filling up with fuel is the last thing I do before heading home. 9/10 times, that's what I do. Even with multiple vehicles, I make sure mine are nearly full. Biff mostly has the same habit. J? Not so much...

Milwaukee (holy shit, I spelled that right the first time) is on TV for the disaster they had back when they were building their ball park. They're talking about the engineering catastrophes around the world and this one was is being focused on. Big Blue (the crane) crumbled and, remarkably, only three people died. Considering the scope of the catastrophe, it's amazing that only three people failed to escape.

One of these episodes does the ceiling falling in the Big Dig and I get to laugh and laugh and laugh! That was my first real project after I finished school. We made millions but it cost us millions. After that, we had already invested in the infrastructure. So, I was able to start hiring employees when I took on a job not too far away - in Rhode Island, revamping their state-owned freeway corridor.

Also, don't get busted driving drunk! That'd really suck.

I went to bed with the missus and then got back up later. I then drank heavily until I'm not sure when.

I finally stumbled to bed in time to pass out. I didn't wake up until noon. I drank a lot. I was on my fourth bottle of wine - and that doesn't count the rum I sipped here and there. I got stupid drunk...

Also, I wrote some hate mail to COF's family. I was drunk. I'm not sure what I said, 'cause I haven't read it again. I'm pretty fucking disappointed with them. I'll give them until the end of the month and then I'm taking ownership of the site. Fuck 'em. I'm the one paying the bills.

Sometimes, it's hard to explain things to stupid people.

Everything you do on your guitar is subtractive. This is a PRS thing, but it's easy to understand - and so few people do.

If you turn your volume down from 10, you're subtracting from the guitar's volume. If you turn the treble up and the bass down, you're subtracting bass from the signal. When you roll the volume down, you're subtracting from the guitar's output. If your tone isn't set to 10, you're subtracting tone - certain parts of the spectrum - from the signal.

If you have a bone nut instead of a plastic nut, you're subtracting less. The plastic nut subtracts more signal than a bone - or even a metal nut does. Simply, the guitar signal is less, it vibrates less, if you have a plastic nut.

It goes on like that...

If your volume isn't 10, you're subtracting from the signal. If your tone isn't 10, you're subtracting from the signal. If your bass tone isn't set to 10, you're subtracting from the signal - you're removing the bass frequencies.

This isn't fucking complicated! I shouldn't have to explain this twice. We have a giant fucking company that does very well because the owner understands exactly this. That's what PRS guitars are all about. They subtract less than other guitars. It's that fucking simple.

I'm kinda drunk, by the way. I'm well aware that you may be sleeping. I give zero shits.

I'm drunk myself. Drunken driving other peoples cars. its fun. I'm not texting while I'm driving though. That's dangerous.

Side note: It's gonna rain tomorrow. It already is raining.

There's exactly zero chance that I'll be taking an F40 out in the rain. If the road is even marginally damp, I'm not taking it out on it. It'd likely handle it just fine, but I'm not gonna risk it. It cost way too many dollars to risk that.

I did some looking around and I could probably sell it for 3.5...

That's tempting. I might put it on the market at 3.75 to see if I get any bites. I'd sell at that price. It's an iconic car, but it's not a guitar. Besides, the controls on the dashboard don't even fucking line up! LOL It's definitely an old Ferrari! Their quality control was pretty much nothing.
