    Arrow Goodness gracious, great quilts an' FIRE!

    I was just killing time before I head off to store #2 and I had an epiphany.

    What could make this Friday go by even faster? Why... a little torture of course. Here's how my day has gone so far...





    Picture this:

    I in my cap,
    Had just settled down for a short winter's nap,
    When out in the lot there arose such a clatter,
    I sprang from the chair to see what was the matter.
    Away to the window I flew like a flash,
    Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
    The sun on the breast of the new-fallen snow
    Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
    When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
    But a brown delivery truck, and four boxes near,
    With Rog the driver, so lively and quick,
    I knew in a moment I must act as St. Nick.
    More rapid than eagles my coursers they came,
    And I whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
    "Now, Forumites! now, Knuckleheads! now, everyone, Look!
    Oh, flames! oh piezos! oh, hard-tails and quilt!
    To the top of the door! to the green honor wall!
    Now sell away! sell away! sell away all!"

























    Oh yeah, an AL came in too...

    Looks like Pete let Nick out of the backroom again

    They are pretty guitars though - even the slightly dissed AL

    Congrats to you too, Beagle! The 20th Silo is sure to be a killer guitar.

    I've been waiting for mine since October, hard to believe that it'll be here in a few days. Although Nick has posted up a couple of pics (thanks Nick!), I'll definitely take and post a few of my own.
