the front end.

hello folks. big weekend of sport. Best congratulations to the Wairarapa Rovers for winning the Chatham cup. This is not easy to come by and probably harder for an individual club to win than rugby's log of wood. The competition is fierce and this is a mighty achievement for a smal rural catchment to produce a national championship trophy. Nice going boys.

Sorry to hear the AB's lost to the yelowbellies in the weekend. Looks like Quade Cooper is storing a up a big hit in the future. It is not possible to keep dishing out that sort of rubbish without retaliation and take my word for it boy, it will.

Talking of injuries the quack looked at my shoulder two weeks ago. I have to get an x-ray but while she was looking she leant on it till I thought I might pass out with the pain but she kept it up and now the hurt seems to have gone. Nice one doc.

Bathed the 6 string last night. Half way through the job I realised it was just like bathing the baby. wah wah wah. big muff. I scored some lemon oil to dress the rosewood fretboard and it all began to get bigger by the moment. Finally I put some new strings on, Martin Accoustic Lights, and now I am waiting. I read a piece by Dan Crary once where he said that one should not play new string s for 24 hours after installation and they will last much longer with better tone.  Hard to know unless you do an a/b test but it seems to work. thanks Dan.

Its all too much. Had to drag out the Jackson and use that last night in case I went into cold turkey. Got to watch the noise though. The temptation is put the channel on and rark it up. damm when did I grow old.

tonight is criminal minds and Castle. I hope the sheila comes back to life!
