yup....although some things seem to perform better when they fight back a bit (some guitars, etc...)but that is not only another thread, that's a whole nuther forum

[texan_rep]

I wish my guitar would stop fighting me...

[Wireline]

how so? What kind is it, and what's it doing?

[Jesso]

I've always been more of a leg and thigh man than a breast man...

And here I always thought you liked my boobs the best! :snooty:

Er um... :shifty:

[texan_rep]

how so? What kind is it, and what's it doing?

it's not a high-end guitar...

Yamaha FG-312-II 12-string...I've played 12-strings that aren't this tough to play...can't seem to get the tension down (I'm using the lightest set of strings I can find, too)...top set of 5 frets probably need to be replaced (they were ground down to smooth them out about 15 years ago and they are grooved again...but also very low)...

oh, and of course tuning a fixed-bridge 12-string is always an adventure...

And here I always thought you liked my boobs the best! :snooty:

:eek:

[Wireline]

(Without seeing the instrument there is no way to be certain about these things)

Have you tried tuning down a half or even whole step, then using a STRONG capo to bring back up to normal left hand positioning? If it has a truss rod, then you may have developed a bit of back bow as well...as for frets, they can only be redressed so many times before replacement is needed...at that point you have to decide whether its cheaper to just get another guitar or spend a lot of money in fixing up the Yammie

now I've heard good and bad things about the de-tuning trick...yes, that would drop the tension, but it would accentuate tuning problems...I've never experimented with it...

It does have a truss rod, and a while back (at least a couple of years) I gave it a bit of an adjustment (trying to remember...I think I did a "push", which would decrease the action)...it wasn't a huge adjustment...

how much does it run to get some frets replaced (generally speaking)?

:hug::hug: Ms Mel...

Tex, a fret job is something that varies from luthier to luthier...what town are you closest to/in? I might be able to at least find you a reputable referal from the guy who does all my work (he's built a couple of guitars for Billy Gibbons, and I trust him to fix it right everytime...)

[texan_rep]

haven't you paid attention, Wire? :)) San Antonio...

[Wireline]

hell no...if I paid attention, would I be here?

Wow...even though I was born there and still have family there, I don't know anyone I would trust....you might be smarter to get hold of Charlie's Guitar Shop (if still open) in Dallas, or Erlewine's in Austin. If time and money are no object, then contact Mike Stevens in Alpine (he founded the Fender Custom Shop years ago, decided to be an independant rancher instead) or Joe Shepard here in Midland...

Might be time to donate the 12 string to a church, and get another one though...there is a very thick brick wall between repair cost and actual value....

What part of SA? I've got relatives there, as well as dear and lifelong friends....graduated from Cole HS on Ft Sam Houston in 1974

[texan_rep]

north side...I grew up outside of SA...if you went to Cole then you have heard of Boerne...

[Wireline]

Boerne!?! I've spent more time there (as a yoot) than I would ever want to admit to....matter of Fact, the Cole/Boerne game was a HUGE deal...at the time, both were Class 2A

[texan_rep]

I remember those days...was just a kid back then...and even Judson was in the same district...

[Wireline]

yup...Schulenberg...Comfort...Hays/TriCountry....even those asses at Randolph AFB

[texan_rep]

wow...you ARE old :))...Comfort was always a class lower when I was a kid, and I don't remember ever playing Schulenberg...but Hays I remember...

[Wireline]

I didn't play football...too busy picking...on the Friday nites I was off, spent more time trying to score with the opposing team's cheerleaders...

Ah...THOSE were the days/

[texan_rep]

oh I didn't play either...but I used to go to some of the games...

[Wireline]

they were good times....a $5.00 bill would get you 10 gal of gas, 2 quart bottles of LoneStar, and a pack of smokes....with change left over....Conway, Hendrix, Buck Owens, Zepplin, Wills, and so on on the 8 track....King Busquit Flour Hour concerts on the FM radio...

[texan_rep]

....Conway, Hendrix, Buck Owens, Zepplin, Wills, and so on on the 8 track....

So in walks a woman...obviously a dye job, obviously one HELLACIOUS boob job, but implants, fake fingernails, sporting the 'trout pout' lips from collagen, etc etc etc....asking for help from a clerk in shopping for natural foods...

A song for the Texans here from a fellow Texan,Don Hemley.

Talking To The Moon

In the hot september sun down in Texas
Sucked the streams bone dry
Turned to roads to dust
In the sleepy little towns down in texas,
The shades are all pulled down;
The streets are all rolled up.
And the only thing that breaks the silence
Are the trucks a-passin by
Late at night on the front porch swing
You can hear their mournful sigh
And the lonesome weeping willow cries to the stars above
He was callin out for his lady love
Shes been gone so long

I was just talkin to the moon
Hopin someday soon that Id be over
The memory of you-too hard to hold

And the wind across the plains
Is all that now remains
And the night shakes loose the names
But they never quite go back the way they came

So, good-bye rodeo
Its a long, funny way for men to go
Never change
Never change at all

I was just talkin to the moon
Hopin someday soon that Id be over
The memory of you- too hard to hold on

I was just talkin to the moon
Hopin someday soon that Id be over the
Memory of you

actually its probably H2S gas that sometimes leaks from well...smells exactly like an egg fart...but much more deadly.

If you smell it, you are still OK...once you stop smelling it, only two things could have occurred: 1) the H2S has dissipated to a non-detectable level, or 2) you have received so much of it the body became saturated, and you will die soon...

Its something we put in the ground millions of years ago to keep Yankees out....it didn't work

so mel...paid any attention to the sports news this morning?

nope, I was more worried about Super Tuesday and the tornadoes....let me go look.
I'm guessing it won't be good for me though...........

[Wireline]

football season is over...why pay attention to sports anymore, unless to keep up with whoi has been indicted lately

[texan_rep]

dunno...should be interesting...

puh-leeze...:razz: Now I can follow a real team with no distractions...

[Wireline]

who? The Spur-ts?

[Wireline]

The Missions?

[texan_rep]

The Spurs only have the highest winning % of ANY professional team over the last decade...and 4 championships over that period...

Your jealousy is showing, wire :razz:

[melinda]

dunno...should be interesting...

hmmmmm..........we'll see. hmmm.

[texan_rep]

wow...your reaction is absolutely...hmmmm....

:))

Jealous of what? That Midland does not have a pro basketball team? I admire their dynasty status, but can honestly say I have not watched more than 15 minutes combined of basketball over the past 20 years...

I don't care for the game...I would rather watch the Senior Women's TiddlyWinks and Booger Flicking championships than basketball...

[texan_rep]

:eh:

I always thought you swung that way, but I never thought I'd hear you admit it...:whistle:

[Wireline]

I am too old to swing...anything but a cat and a good be-bop tune, that is...can't play golf, too happily married to (seriously) consider another interpretation....

But seriously, basketball is just not a sport I'm interested in whatsoever...

[texan_rep]

that's me and baseball...

[Wireline]

heard dat...base ball is a dance you go to on a military post....

[texan_rep]

playing is different...enjoy playing...but watching puts me to sleep...

[Wireline]

playing is different...enjoy playing...but watching puts me to sleep...


I feel the exact same way about porn...enjoy playing, but watching puts me to sleep

[melinda]

wow...your reaction is absolutely...hmmmm....

:))

yeah, I'm gonna have to think about it. I love Shaq. love him. But well....hmmmm.
gotta think.

[melinda]

it's very exciting....especially once you get to the play-offs. I'll be the first to admit that it's definitely better when you have two really great hard working teams to watch..........

[melinda]

that's me and baseball...

love baseball too, but yeah, sometimes it can get a bit boring.........but you never know when the action is coming, so you have to watch the whole thing.

[Wireline]

it's very exciting....especially once you get to the play-offs. I'll be the first to admit that it's definitely better when you have two really great hard working teams to watch..........


are we still talking about basketball?:drool:

[melinda]

are we still talking about basketball?:drool:

I suppose the same can be said about porn. :cool:

[texan_rep]

I guess I should never be surprised at the turns made in this thread...:))

[texan_rep]

it's very exciting....especially once you get to the play-offs. I'll be the first to admit that it's definitely better when you have two really great hard working teams to watch..........

I agree. Of course, one person's "great hard working team" is another person's "boring" team :rolleyes:...or even "dirty" :wall:

[texan_rep]

yeah, I'm gonna have to think about it. I love Shaq. love him. But well....hmmmm.
gotta think.

Can't stand him...not since he lied about DRob all those years ago and never showed any respect...

[Wireline]

it's Melinda's fault...I just hang around like groupie at a Lawrence Welk reunion show...

[texan_rep]

you're saying mel corrupted you?

[Wireline]

mel...perhaps...I think the corruption comes from the entire core of "personalities" in the TP....

[texan_rep]

don't look at me...:angel:

[Wireline]

uh...yeah....

as Dr Evil would say: "rrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh hht"

[texan_rep]

just ask mel...I am sweetness and light personified...

[Wireline]

I did ask her...she gave me a pretty detailed report....

I believe the words "scoundrel," "cad," and "no-goodnick" were in the correspondence.

[texan_rep]

:naughty:

you are ly.....errrr, your words are not in accordance with facts....:razz:

[Wireline]

:naughty:

you are ly.....errrr, your words are not in accordance with facts....:razz:

A higher order of scalliwag is not possible, for you to dare defile the good name of Melinda.

[texan_rep]

it's not her name I am defiling...thou scalawag...

[Wireline]

it's not her name I am defiling...thou scalawag...

(where the heck are my white challenge gloves?)

I challenge you, sir, to a duel...a pun duel....

When it suits me, I will formally inform you of the time and date....be forewarned, sir, as I have been in training already.

[texan_rep]

I won't hold my breath...I know you don't have any suits...

[Wireline]

I am like a deck of cards...

- I have FOUR suits
- I should be dealt with

[texan_rep]

well, you got the 2 jokers down pat...

[Wireline]

and like most pets, you should be spade...join the club...and don't forget since Valentine's is coming up fast, have a heart and buy your sweetie some diamonds....

She'll treat you like a king, and make you flush royally.

Now, shoe!

[texan_rep]

you still think you're a real card...but the only place you hold a full house is in your head...and based on the stench emitting from your ears, it appears the voices residing there have a busted flush...

[Wireline]

You cannot shuffle your way out of this one, ....this is war, so put down the gin, and draw!

You ain't no stud, but perhaps if you ask nicely, you can poker a while....

[texan_rep]

now you're beginning to sound rather rummy...wondering which of the voices has shanghaied you...

At A&M they may teach you to wash your hands after going to the bathroom...but at UT they teach you not to pi on your nochle to begin with...

Now stop with all the eight, crazy, and go fish...

[Wireline]

Don't bait me with the fishing stories....I don't go for the spin....(pull up your fly - your rod is showing)...maybe we should start a pole....see who's got the better barbs....

[texan_rep]

I don't fish...so the only barbs I know have shrimp on them...or steak, or backstrap...

As for starting any kind of pole...well, it would require two poles to do that, and I don't have any in my ancestry...and if you do, I don't swing that way...:snooty:

[Wireline]

So you deny that you refer to your Wranglers as the pole vault? I thought there was something fishy about your jean pool....but the pieces are all coming together...you cannot worm out of this one, and stop treating me as if I am some kind of dumb bass.

[texan_rep]

:)) yeah, I'd have to deny that, having never heard the phrase before in my life...besides, I prefer Levis...

gotta go soon...

[Wireline]

back to school....we'll pick this up later....

[melinda]

oh my.....:)) :)) :))

you two really are great...............

[free2B]

oh my.....:)) :)) :))

you two really are great...............

just guessing melinda, you two great friends? Or who? Too lazy to read back and find out right now

[melinda]

just guessing melinda, you two great friends? Or who? Too lazy to read back and find out right now

tex and wire...they are both great with their words and their puns........:)

[free2B]

tex and wire...they are both great with their words and their puns........:)

thanks for the extended explanation melinda it was just a stupid question about OT and line what was the answer again?

[melinda]

Tex.....I still haven't made up my mind about the Shaq trade. I think since it's already a done deal, at this point, I have no choice but to wait and see how it all plays out............

[melinda]

Morning, tex.........:hug: :hug: :hug:

[melinda]

Morning, Wire....:hug: :hug: :hug:

[Wireline]

Morning, Ms Mel....:hug: :hug: :hug:


You may have to slap TexRep around for me today...got several MRIs to get done in Big Spring, clients in the early afternoon, and one of the dawgs headed back to the vet later in the day

[melinda]

hope everything turns out fine w/ the MRIs and the dawg.....:)

[Wireline]

Thanks...MRIs are for knees, dawg is for shots (I hope I don't get those two confused...)

[melinda]

Thanks...MRIs are for knees, dawg is for shots (I hope I don't get those two confused...)

YOU can get confused, as long as the doctors and the vet don't get confused....;)

[texan_rep]

Morning, tex.........:hug: :hug: :hug:

morning mel :hug::hug::hug:

[melinda]

You're late.....been busy?

[texan_rep]

very

[Wireline]

doing what?

[melinda]

ignoring us....;)

[texan_rep]

I have not :razz:

[texan_rep]

a lot of programming actually...

[melinda]

I've been busy today having a horrible headache. :((

[texan_rep]

:hug:

[melinda]

:hug:

:hug: :)

[texan_rep]

but no more crap about me ignoring you :naughty:

[Wireline]

a lot of programming actually...


The Dr Phil Program....The Days of Our Lives Program.... The Montel Williams Program.... The Rosie O'Donnell Program....

Nice going, Tex. At least Mel has a real headache (sorry darling...get better soon) and I've been in and out of doctor offices 40 miles away, working, AND finding time to contribute my infinite wisdom and genius-like wit here...

:flag: The sacrifices I make just to cover your slacking....

[texan_rep]

finding time to contribute my infinite wisdom and genius-like wit here...

It took me longer to type this post than it did for you to contribute all that...

[Wireline]

what was that? Your last transmission came in muffled, as if spoken thru demin and a wallet....

Weird, huh?

[texan_rep]

what was that? Your last transmission came in muffled, as if spoken thru demin and a wallet....

Weird, huh?

if you're going to accuse me of that, at least don't give me cause to throw down some spelling smack...:))

[Wireline]

Spelling smack? Is that the heroin one buys from the TV producer and/or his babe daughter? I am frustrated (politically), confused (socially and cosmetically), and arrogant (in general)....that, and I like short walks on the beach from one motel room to another....

Wait....that last part was not addressed to you....

[texan_rep]

it's friday...

[Wireline]

for you, Maybe.....I've got clients in 9, 1, and 7PM...no chance of paid napping today.

Wife is off today (pulled a night shift last night for her Crisis Intervention job)...so I have to be kinda quiet around the house today while she snoozes....

[texan_rep]

I suggest a roll of duct tape.







On second thought...make that two...

[Wireline]

you mean like this:

http://www.wirelinestudio.com/images/142_ducktape.gif

[Wireline]

Maybe I'll leave her like that all day...and when everything is calmed a bit later tonite....

time to "Get Down" :mrgreen:

[texan_rep]

I assume you are talking about your wife...did you just turn her into a red X?

[texan_rep]

Ah...I see you fixed it...

I assume that's NOT your wife...

[texan_rep]

Nice mirror shot, wire...

But the tape is much too low...

[melinda]

all I see is the red x
probably best that way....




morning, tex. :hug: :hug: :hug:

morning, Wire. :hug: :hug: :hug:

[Wireline]

a red ex? Is that a Indian former spouse ??? I have one of those, too...

Nah, that's not the wife...she is much too beautiful to have her picture blasted around these parts ...


Morning Mel. :hug::hug::hug:

Quack

[texan_rep]

morning mel :hug::hug::hug:

have you had to wrap your keyboard and monitor in saran wrap yet?

[Wireline]

have you had to wrap your keyboard and monitor in saran wrap yet?

:eek: ***?

[texan_rep]

*sigh*

I only meant to protect it from regular spewing of coffee/Coke/whatever it is she drinks after she reads my witty repartee and your...well...posts...

So there...

[Wireline]

Your posts are witty? You call them repartee? There's the first part of the confusion.

OTOH my posts are to this forums what "Faded Love" is to Texas Music, the "Mona Lisa" to the art world , and so on...


So there...nyah!

[texan_rep]

my posts are to this forums what "Tainted Love" is to Texas Music, the "Moaning Lisa" to the art world , and so on...


Fixed that for ya...

[Wireline]

The only thing you fixed was any remaining misconceptions of your being a man of honor...to purposely misquote the Mona Lisa is OK...but when you start messing with Faded Love and/or anything by Bob Wills....

Well...the nanny filters are kicking in just thinking about the insult to the State of Texas...

[texan_rep]

Once again, sir, your reading comprehension requires rehabilitation and compensation.

My point was to put your posts in the proper perspective...the same perspective that "Tainted Love" has to Texas music.

Accusing me of insulting Bob Wills is just...just...:eek::evil::snooty:
