So how is everyone? I haven't been around for some time...still lurk from time to time, but haven't done any posting or trades since back in the early fall.

It has been crazy busy for me. My wife quit her job and started back to school full time, so that leaves me to watch our son in the evenings. I've also rekindled an old passion...playing guitar. I had sold off my old gear several years ago, but back in the fall I decided to give it another go. I've been practicing about an hour a night and slowly relearning and having a blast with it.

I can't smoke inside and it has been too cold to step outside...I'm really hoping we can get a couple days of some semi-warm weather soon so I can enjoy a good smoke soon.

Anyways...now that spring is getting nearer I'll be around the boards more and probably get in on some trades or passes again soon.

    I've picked up a couple actually....a new '09 mim strat, an Agile Les Paul copy, a cheap acoustic, and a Squier tele custom. I had the option to get one really nice guitar or spend that same amount on a few decent guitars....I chose the latter. Running through a Fender Super Champ XD or Roland Microcube depending on if the kid is sleeping or not.

    I do this too. Sounds like you have some cool stuff. So far my modest collection includes:
    A Mexican Standard Fender Stat
    03 (I think) Gibson SG Special
    Yamaha FX 335 (just noticed it was missing two weeks ago)
    And a Schecter C1+
    Crate V33-212
    Crate GFX120
    and too many pedals to remember.

    Hey, welcome back. Hopefully nice weather is rolling in tomorrow and I may be able to sneak in a robusto tomorrow.

    I'm thinking the same thing. I heard on the radio on my way home from work that they are predicting it to be in the 40s all weekend. I should be able to get outside for at least one or two good smokes.
