What Did You Do With Your Guitar(s) Today?

[la szum]

Man, I had no idea there were such vengeful folks up in here.



Please remind me to never piss you guys off. :lol

I make a deal with all the stinging creatures to not fuck with them
and their nests. For the most part they seem to leave me alone.
Except the one time working on a deck I was building one Summer
and took another bite of my PB&J as I worked. I felt that one.

 

[FuzzyAce]

It is done.

 

[FuzzyAce]

Damn! Did you get any video, Forrest??

6 is a lot. Hope you are doing ok.

No vid, but that Forrest one is about right.
Yep, they still sting. 3 on my ankle and 3 on my calves. Luckily I don't get a bad reaction like some people.

Dude, the bees are mofo's down here in GA, bleeb dat.

Little teeny yellow jackets are meaner than hell, you can't imagine if you haven't lived around them. Yellow jackets in MD were little pussy bees.

These GA bees demand quick judicious violence.

Yes, these were yellow jackets, I always forget and call them ground hornets for some reason? For their size they do pack a pretty big punch.
I don't want to have to kill them, but some things must be done.

100%, they go out of their way to sting for the least little provocation - and I mean NO provocation. Just the fact that you exist is an abomination to these little bastards.

They're probably about 1/2 the size of MD yellow jackets yet about 20 times as mean? More?

Easy now, you're gonna scare @la szum .

Georgia Tech didn't pick them as their mascot because they are cute!

Haha! I got stung on the arm two weekends ago during a Family event. I think
someone put an hit out on me and that Yellowjacket was the first taker.

I'd rather get stung again then be around some of my "Family" members. I know
what real mean looks like, and it ain't no insect.

Discovered a nest st my own house. My own fault really… had some plant pots along my patio I had to remove because a contractor was coming to do all my concrete including a slab to replace the pavers I had for a patio. Two were plastic. No problem. Third was a wooden crate. Started falling apart. No big deal… reached in with gloves to pull out some of the dirt… whole nest came after me. Got stung about 10 times. Discovered I’m not allergic to wasp stings at least. Came back later with some bug spray and soaked down the crate from the outside. Let it sit for a while. Used a shovel to lift it later and found two larva combs and the queen. Smashed that bitch with the shovel and doused the combs in bug spray. Chemical warfare. Fuck those things. I hate yellowjackets.

Oh man, you just reminded me of something I watched the other day...

 

[FuzzyAce]

Sorry, I guess I should have started a bee thread instead!? Didn't mean to derail.

Bees buzz.
Guitars often buzz.

Back to guitars... I'm thinking of replacing my black tele's pickguard from white to black. The tuxedo look is cool but I want to change it up. I need a black on black guitar anyways.
I've already removed it and disconnected some wiring too. I'm going to stick a full size strat single in there. It will be a black, Dimarzio Virtual vintage '54 pro and put an Area T hot in the bridge. I have both pickups already. Only mod I need to do is rout the hole bigger for the neck single, but that's no biggie. I'll also take the opportunity to refret the neck. It's a 7.25 radius and has the original vintage frets that surprisingly play ok but they are very worn so it's time to change. I'll be putting EVO jumbos in. Keeping the brass nut, although will have to shim it.

Oh, this was my 4th time. 3 times at my house and 1 at the MIL's house.
They'll feel the wrath later tonight... I'll have to drown them.

They will come for your fresh meat…..

Never give up never surrender!!!!

Show them whos the daddy at home!

No idea why and how we are losing all the vast wealth of our best Pollinators.
