Yeah - remember I come from up north - 68 degrees is as hot as any place should get as far as I'm concerned. 59 would be ideal. I like spring and fall in Canada. That's my kind of climate.

Looking at the weather reports in Vegas right now and all I can say is I'll miss winter in Moscow. lol

 I like your setup there Rain. Looks like a good place to put together some good tunes.

 It's a shame that you are going away in a month and right now I am only a little over 2 1/2 hours away from NY. I don't expect to be out there but if you want to get out of there for awhile let me know.I could show you PA dutch country.

 Hey who is the little guy in top of your left speaker? Looks a little thin for a Budda.

Hey who is the little guy in top of your left speaker? Looks a little thin for a Budda.

(Minor trivia...  The real Budda was actually a fairly skinny guy who didn't want his image to be used for religious reasons. )

It's a little hand-painted Tequilla bottle. :)

  Craig, you mean the real Budda was skinny? Boy talk about misrepresentation. I thought I spotted him several times this past week or at least what his statue looks like. Kind of like Elvis I guess.Oh well...

 The bottle is cool looking Rain,look like maybe they also did some shaping on it.Looks as if you are well stocked on guitar picks too :)

Ladies and gentlemen, Budda has left the building.

I haven't studied Buddhism half as much as Abrahamic religions and some other oriental philosophies but according to the legend, Buddah, like many wisemen and prophets, starved himself for 40-ish day (can't remember the details).  


I don't think anyone would have managed to put on much weight if they did what he preached. 

Being overwight was certainly NOT part of the philosophy.  Unfortunately, all religions love symbolism so the non-likeness was created and promoted.  Personally, I think the statues look cool.  Just seeing that little fat guy smiling away makes me smile too.

(The symbol looks good on the amps with the same name as well! )

Absolutely. :)

You know what - I don't think I've ever seen that amp in my life. First I heard about it was when I bought my Pod, but I don't think I've actually SEEN one.

If you don't have this already, you can add this to your list (for Zen purposes....of course).
