Thanks everybody! It was a very nice weekend. My daughter came home for it (my wife's birthday was Saturday). I got a couple nice gifts. And I'm off all this week, so bonus!

Time to buy yourself a new six-string! Go ahead - you know you want to!
Have a great day.
If I hadn't done just that a few weeks ago... Okay, technically it was an old guitar, but new to me. And yes, it feels funny to describe a guitar that was built when I was in my 20s as an "old" guitar, but here we are.
