Re: Update Update
I got a sonic clean at BBC on my Mack-o-clone. The valves were never bad but now they are like buddah!!
The tuning slides line up better.
The low end sounds better.
I even added half an octave to my upper range!! (Not really)
But the rest is so!!
Highly recommended.

You know, the part you drive through to get to the beach.
BTW, its 34 and rain/snow tonight. I hear that northeastern MN is getting 10 inches of snow. I'm not from here... the people from here don't mention this stuff at all. "Yeah, not summer yet. Keep waiting."

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Got new tires on my car today. When I got home, I dropped my phone and shattered the screen.
Today was a very expensive day.
