Stay safe Michael. Just read that the Met Office over here has issued it's first 'red warning' of the winter for winds, expected up to 100MPH later today. What fun.

Wow! 100mph winds!!.....I bet it feels like a hurricane? is that a regular weather occurance over there? 
Michael & James......+1 to staying safe indoors, and maybe even getting a generator......just in case. 

Does anyone else hear a Scorpions song?

LOL!!

 
That's the first thing that crossed my mind when I was posting it, but I didn't want to sound cheesy. Does this mean great Cheesiness's us mice think alike?

Given the amount of cheese I eat, I'm not surprised that I sound cheesy.  

Thanks guys. I'm safe and warm. I'm not geared for traveling on ice so it's something I don't do.
Nice to be home and to bad I don't have a guitar build happening.
I may meet with a very hot Texan picker this month. He ran into one of my guitars at a gig and threatened the owner to contact me LOL. I've made a point to let owners know I don't want business generated. After talking with my friend I gave him the Ok to tell the guy I'd meet him and talk about it. He plays Strats and Flying V's. Wants a V and I've been wanting to build one but it's not a guitar I'd play so being that nobody I build for has to take the instrument it could be I'd wind up with a guitar collecting dust...a risk I'd have to consider after meeting him.
 
 
 
LOL that is great!

Good luck to both of you and everyone else who's affected by this extreme weather.  

Took the words from my furry brain.
 
Stay safe everyone everywhere.

High winds are so much fun.  I used to have a house on the top edge of a ridge where the back of the house faced East.  They have this wonderful phenomenon called the "East Wind" and my house took the brunt of it.  The last year I was there (2009) we had a storm with sustained winds clocked at over 80mph by a weather station in the cul-de-sac below me (so it was probably a little stronger even at my elevation).  Who knows what the gusts were!  Lots of damage (I survived much better than most).  Heck, even the street sign on the corner had to be replaced...
 
This was just the front yard of my other house (where my Mom lived) and she was two miles away from the main edge where I lived (she had two holes in the roof where a 12' limb and a 20' branch went through):
 

 
So stay safe and, for those of you in Scotland, you can wait to golf on another day.  Really. 

"Wants a V and I've been wanting to build one but it's not a guitar I'd play so being that nobody I build for has to take the instrument it could be I'd wind up with a guitar collecting dust..."
 
I'm sure it won't collect dust if the guy doesn't want it. Someone will take it.
 
Expecting snow and ice here and the roommate is freaking out that the power might go off.

I always wanted a V, but they suck to play unless you're standing up on stage.  When sitting you can try putting your leg between the V, but it just doesn't work that well.  My biggest stage moment was with a custom black flying V (that, ironically, belonged to the drummer), however the only V I ever owned was this one:
 

10th Avenue?

Hopefully Spacey it's letting up by now and  it's headed my way. By tomorrow it should be here. Can't wait. They are calling for 8-12" of snow. I decided to take a day off for tomorrow. At least I won't need to try and go in.
 
James,hang in there man...you seem to have experienced some of it before. The way those Scots build houses you should have no problems. God willing all will be well after the storm.
