My phone is nearly 10 years old and has no idea what an app is. I'm OK with that. I can wait till I get home and use the laptop if I need to find something. But I disagree about the spell check. I feel that function has actually made me a better speller. After a couple misspellings I learned the correct one. I rarely get that squiggly red line under words when I'm typing now and it's usually because I'm trying to type too fast and miss a letter.

In regards to the OP; I abhor facebook. Oh look, there's that squiggly red line. I guess I spelled facebook wrong.

OMG! We were cut from the same mold.   My favorite was the P-38 Lightning.

For those not familiar with it.

Well that explains it. I was thinking about inquiring as to why I couldn't log on a couple times this past week. Thanks

Well I set up an account and tested my connection tonight. It passed so I'm in. I made a 2 minute test recording and that came back OK as well. I don't have an interface at the moment so I can only plug one instrument at a time into my computer; meaning no vocals. I just used a 1/4" to 1/8" adapter and plugged my sound hole pick-up right into the external mic jack. I didn't think about it at the time but the pick-up may pick up my voice as well. I'll try that tomorrow night. This will be fun.

Here's the test recording.

I received a reply to the above post. It appears I ticked someone off.

Here is what I got:

Re: WE THE FBI HAVE A WARRANT TO ARREST YOU

Anti-Terrorist and Monetary Crimes Division
Fbi Headquarters In Washington, D.C.
Federal Bureau Of Investigation
J. Edgar Hoover Building
935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, D.C. 20535-0001 Website: www.fbi.gov

Attention, this is the final warning you are going to receive from me do you get me?

I hope youre understand how many times this message has been sent to you?.

We have warned you so many times and you have decided to ignore our e-mails or because you believe we have not been instructed to get you arrested, and today if you
fail to respond back to us with the payment then, we would first send a letter to the mayor of the city where you reside and direct them to close your bank account
until you have been jailed and all your properties will be confiscated by the fbi. We would also send a letter to the company/agency that you are working for so that
they could get you fired until we are through with our investigations because a suspect is not suppose to be working for the government or any private organization.

Your id which we have in our database been sent to all the crimes agencies in America for them to inset you in their website as an internet fraudsters and to warn
people from having any deals with you. This would have been solved all this while if you had gotten the certificate signed, endorsed and stamped as you where
instructed in the e-mail below.this is the federal bureau of investigation (fbi) am writing in response to the e-mail you sent to us and am using this medium to
inform you that there is no more time left to waste because you have been given from the 3rd of January. As stated earlier to have the document endorsed, signed and

stamped without failure and you must adhere to this directives to avoid you blaming yourself at last when we must have arrested and jailed you for life and all your
properties confiscated.

You failed to comply with our directives and that was the reason why we didn't hear from you on the 3rd as our director has already been notified about you get the
process completed yesterday and right now the warrant of arrest has been signed against you and it will be carried out in the next 48hours as strictly signed by the
fbi director. We have investigated and found out that you didn't have any idea when the fraudulent deal was committed with your information's/identity and right now if

you id is placed on our website as a wanted person, i believe you know that it will be a shame to you and your entire family because after then it will be announce in
all the local channels that you are wanted by the fbi. As a good Christian and a honest man, I decided to see how i could be of help to you because i would not be

happy to see you end up in jail and all your properties confiscated all because your information's was used to carry out a fraudulent transactions, i called the efcc

and they directed me to a private attorney who could help you get the process done and he stated that he will endorse, sign and stamp the document at the sum of $98.00

usd only and i believe this process is cheaper for you.

You need to do everything possible within today and tomorrow to get this process done because our director has called to inform me that the warrant of arrest has been
signed against you and once it has been approved, then the arrest will be carried out, and from our investigations we learnt that you were the person that forwarded
your identity to one impostor/fraudsters in Nigeria when he had a deal with you about the transfer of some illegal funds into your bank account which is valued at the
sum of $10.500,000.00 usd.

I pleaded on your behalf so that this agency could give you till 11/17/2014 so that you could get this process done because i learnt that you were sent several e-mail
without getting a response from you, please bear it in mind that this is the only way that i can be able to help you at this moment or you would have to face the law
and its consequences once it has befall on you. You would make the payment through Western Union money transfer with the below details.

NAME: Uzoukwu Okechukwu
ADDRESS: LAGOS NIGERIA
TEXT QUESTION:FOR
ANSWER: YOU
AMOUNT: $98
Senders name======

Send the payment details to me senders name and address,Ref# number, text question and answer used and the amount sent. Make sure that you didn't hesitate
making the payment down to the agency by today so that they could have the certificate endorsed, signed and stamped immediately without any further delay. After all
this process has been carried out, then we would have to proceed to the bank for the transfer of your compensation funds which is valued at the sum of $10.500,000.00
usd which was suppose to have been transferred to you all this while.

Note/ all the crimes agencies have been contacted on this regards and we shall trace and arrest you if you disregard this instructions. You are given a grace today to
make the payment for the document after which your failure to do that will attract a maximum arrest and finally you will be appearing in court for act of terrorism,
money laundering and drug trafficking charges, so be warned not to try any thing funny because you are been watched.

THANKS FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION.

YOURS IN SERVICE,

And my response:

OH NO. The fbi. Please no! *=)) rolling on the floor *=)) rolling on the floor *=)) rolling on the floor

Let me educate you, you stupid fool. Your understanding of the English language is pathetic and your understanding of the criminal justice system is just as bad.

First; fbi is always written as FBI. See how I wrote that? It's all capital letters. Also, The FBI does NOT send an email to a suspected criminal. They do a very quiet investigation and if there is criminal activities discovered, they obtain a warrant and go right to the house of the person. No warning is given via email. If you took the time to look, you would see that the FBI states this fact on their website. A person under investigation will NEVER receive an email from the FBI.

Second; the mayor of a town or city has no authority to close a bank account or to have someone jailed. A warrant needs to be draw up and signed by a judge. After that has been done, a sheriff/constable will execute that warrant. A warrant does not need to be "approved". After a person has been found guilty of a crime, personal property can be confiscated but it depends on the nature of the crime.

Third; I do not work for a company or agency so good luck getting me fired. (I'm self employed) You should also know that a suspect of a crime CAN work for a company until proven guilty in a court of law.

And finally, thank you for informing me of the existence of the EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission). I did not know this agency existed. I can now forward this email to them so that they may begin their own investigation into your activities.

Have a very nice day.

I'm think I'm enjoying this. Wonder if I'll hear anything back?

That's what I did for my first mandolin. It was a Kay beginners model. The strings were shot, intonation was way off and the machine heads were a bit sloppy. Asking price was $175. I offered $100 and he said no. I politely said thank you and walked away. He changed his mind and  stopped me after about 3 steps.

Sound advise there. Most people know what they need to get for an item and they know the value of it before they offer it for sale.

OK. I just bounced the idea off AuntJoe. She has to think about it. Weather is going to play a big factor so I couldn't commit until about a week before the event. If it decides to snow here at that time, (which does happen) I would have to back out. I have several commercial snow plowing contracts that I would lose if I didn't show up.

At first I thought there was a drum machine. As the song progressed I realized it was the "air drummer".

I never really cared for Toto; except for this song. I think it's the harmonies. They just reach out and touch something deep inside me.

No spam this morning. Spammers must have off on Sunday.

I'm sure everyone gets it but I seem to receive more than my fair share of email spam from the Prince of Nigeria trying to give me millions of dollars. I get one every 3-4 days. Well, last night I decided to have a bit of fun with one of them. Below is the email I received and my response to it.

And here was my reply:

Dear Mr. Hamilton,

It has come to my attention that you have in your possession, 2 trunks that you are consigned to deliver to my home. I am writing to tell you that the trunks contain $20,000,000 (twenty million) U.S. dollars. As I am a very generous person by nature, I would like you to have these trunks. Please take the money and give it to the many people around the world who have so much less than I do. I trust that you will not keep it all for yourself but will do much to improve the lives of the many people in the world who live in poverty. Thank you in advance for the good work you are going to do. You will make many people very happy.

Now I wonder if I'll hear anything back?

Excellent! I haven't listened to Rush in quite some time. Thanks.

Happy New Guitar Day Roger.
