To me the perfect campfire guitar would be made of "rich lighter" pine. This wood can be polished up to a high sheen and would make excellant "kindling" for starting a fire. But then you would not have a guitar to play so you would have to have a "back-up" in order to be able to play with the other "folks". That's when I would do a little research into what type guitar "Joey" does not have and bring that one with me. That way when the fire dies down and things begin to get quite you can begin negotiations with "Joey", sell him the guitar and have your trip all paid for.

Going in the morning. Due to weather, doctor's appointments, honey do's and several other unplanned thangs that have come up it's been about 2 weeks since I been out on the water. Gotta get out an do a little cleaning of the boat, changing out tackle other prep work, today, and I'll be ready. Why is it that you look so forward to going phishing, enjoy being out on the water, fresh air / sunshine, nature at it's finest but when you get home you are exhausted? My retirement plans are to get myself scheduled to where I can phish Monday, Wednesday and Friday, clean phish, prep tackle and maintain boat on Tuesday, Thursday and half of Saturday.  Saturday nite, I'll take the Mrs out to dinner, play a little music, maybe get lucky and Sunday will devoted to restin' and other family duties. Sounds like a plan to me.

Tied me up several 1/64 oz hair jigs, in various colors, yesterday with the plans of tryin' something new. Got a lake nearby that has Coppernose Bluegill in it. From the info I've got they are beginning to stage up for the spawn. Gonna see if I can find them with my side-scan graph and work on them, If you ain't familar with these brim they can, an do, grow to be huge. One pounders are common and you can expect a few in the 2 pound range.

Since we're in mixed company, I can't say what we call that type of hat here in the south.

Just think of all that talent and what he accomplished in such a short period of time. If I remember correctly he was only 29 years old when he passed away. How can you not be a fan?

Most 12 stringers have the octave strings below the regular ones. Ric's were designed differently as the strings are reversed. On older 12'ers heavier strings caused many problems when strung with them (bowed necks / lifting bridges, etc.). With heavier strings I would tune down at least 1 whole step then capo 2nd fret to bring back to standard. This would be better for the guitar neck and easier on the fingers. I use Earthwood Lites 9/42's on my K Yairi and it plays like budder.

Per my insurance agent homeowners or renters insurance will only cover musical insurance while they are in the home. and the you may need to have an additional ryder stating make / model / serial number. Auto insurance covers while your instruments traveling and again you need to a ryder on them. If you are getting paid to play out somewhere you need a separate policy covering your instruments. Sometimes. when playing out, the venue will provide the coverage BUT you need to ask what is covered and what are the limits of their policy.  If you are playing out and you know the crowd can get a little "frisky" why do you want to carry your best / most expensive guitar. Get yourself a good "beater" and use that. In a crowded bar a good $300 to $500 beater will sound just as good in that enviroment as an expensive Martin or Gibson. Do your homework on insurance coverage for musical instruments - not all policies are good policies.

Years ago, at the Chandlier Islands, I went wade phishing for speckle trout and redfish. Now, in doing this, we never used waders - just a pair of shorts and no shoes. As you would catch a fish you would put it on a 10' long stringer and tie that to a belt loop on your shorts.  The knot you would use had to be a slip knot that would come loose when a shark hit the phish you had put on the stringer. If / when a shark got after your phish you would know it as they would jerk you off your feet. And that's the reason you wore shorts without any shoes. It's much easier to pull your shorts off and wash the poop outta them than it is a pair of chest waders.

I've done this type of phishing all along the Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas coast and there's nothing like fighting a 30" trout or a big redfish while standing chest deep in water.

RNS, welcome to chordie. The only thing that changes with age is your attitude about life,. It just get's better. Also, the groupies you get tend to have money of their own and enjoy  a good time. They may not have all their teeth, have blue hair and not be quite as perky as they used to be but they sure fun.
