Finally home from work Friday night after a super busy week of interstate travel, job interviews, and 10-16 hour work-days. Icon_crazy Icon_wtf

Got my 39-45 warmed up and have some great surf guitar music from Pandora running through the transmitter. (Is there anything cooler than a twangy Telecaster reverberating through a tube amplifier?) 8)

Gonna crack open a bottle of Shiner and get started removing the chassis to see what I'm in store for on this thing. Icon_confused:

Wish me luck...
It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
