As I turn 42, I am reminded of how my life often parallels (in a much less glamorous way) that of my first hero and spiritual father. 
 

 

 
There's 3 bathroom in this house, effectively tripling the odds...
 
So I figure, eat, drink be merry.
Who's in for a couple of deep fried peanut butter/banana sandwiches with a side of bacon? :P

thank ya
thank ya very much
 

Happy birthday Krist!  Eat much cake and ice cream! 
 
P.S. I expect, since I Am 60ish, to just fall over any minute 

Happy Bday Krist, ol pal.  Please don't follow in ol E's swollen, gout ridden footsteps.  And seeing that clipping about his death always reminds me of the extremely surreal day I spent the day he died.  To start, I was on the set of the Grizzly Adams show in the wilds of Utah...and it goes downhill from there.

I still remember when I went to Graceland to see Elvis, but they wouldn't let me in with my shovel...

Absolutely! :)
 
Thanks guys.
 
And now, wish me luck - I've just received the pick guard for my SGJ. After a good polishing this weekend, she was ready for the upgrade. First step was getting the pickguard to fit, because the space between the pickups on the SGJ is narrower than standard.
 
 
 

 
Turns out I worried for no reason as w/ a simple piece of sanding paper, I'd removed as much as needed in less than 2 minutes. 
 
But now comes the scary part - drilling holes in it. :/
 
Next - hopefully a pair of (chrome maybe) 57 Classic. :P
 

As Paul Harvey might say, "the rest of the story" will have to wait till I'm back at my laptop tomorrow. I can't do long form on this damned iPad. But I'll give ya the whole kit and kaboodle. But here's a teaser: it involves a Playboy Bunny, an irritable bear and dimwitted female country star.
