You da BOSS Rockin' Robby...ehhh!:dood:

I wish!
Dude!
I need to bow down at that altar...maybe burn some incense, or light up a candle or some $hit like that...
I don’t play out often, but I only take 6 when I do, tailored to the set list.
Very cool. All my Boss pedals are relics that have been upgraded by Modest Mike. I only have a GE-7, DD-3, CS-3 and NS-2.
I really dont use the GE-7 much anymore, since getting my Weber Attenuator, but its a quiet pedal after modding.
Mine are a combination of old and TTR new. But none of them are noisey.
My ear hears everything - unfortunately. I had a brand new CS-3 modded and the difference on a recording was unreal...

WOW, I never knew she was his wife. Interesting, Chris.
Random thoughts: So, the crazy high winds down here woke me up about 4am. The power of the wind here is unreal. Howling and whistling...on trash day, the cans get blown down the hill. Right now, it sounds like a train going by.
Man, I been texting Chili Pepper about this new 50's Tribute Les Paul I scored (and following the saga of his SG restoration) and I'm grateful to Esgee who found it for me online at a music store on the East coast.
And a special thank you to Smitty for building a pedal that lets me switch amps on the fly...a video is coming up of that.
The Internet sure is a cool thing, Man.
TTR is a very cool place. I've found myself dabbling in all manner of things since coming here. Seems I have a lot more gear since coming here too...wonder how that happened???

More random stuff - I was a huge U-Boat nut as a kid. I built models and read about the patrols, and in later years, became friends with Erich Topp and Otto Kretchsmer. Back a few years ago, I had the opportunity to purchase the replica used in the filming of U-571. At the time, it was being offered for sale for $100,000USD which was cheap, considering it cost over $1 million to build in Malta in 1999.
By the time it was put on the market, the wood decks were rotted and it needed restoration. I was working on a deal with a museum in Malta to act as curators and provide tours of the restored movie prop.
At 200 feet long and 600 tons, finding and securing a berth were even more important than the purchase price, since most berths charge $10 - $20 per month per foot of boat length.
Our proposal was to purchase the boat, create a non-profit to restore it and have the museum supervise tours of it. The agreement also provided a clause that it would be available for future film projects.
Before we could secure a berth and arrangement, the owner's were approached by a company who wanted to renovate it for use in the movie Ghost Boat.
I have a bunch of photos taken on board in February 2016 that I can post later from my PC.
So, while we missed this opportunity, I have kept in touch with people and what's going on with the replica.
Recently, it was renovated again and transported by barge to St. Naziere France - to the still standing U-Boat pens - for use in an upcoming film.
Here's some photos of the recent transportation work sent to me from one of my contacts:
I have a lot of photos from the build snd movie production that have never, ever been posted anywhere on the web.
I also have the photos taken onboard before the renovation.
I will post more later...

Exactly! I built models of it!
