Sadly the government was recently in shutdown in observance of dot's birthday so the post office haven't quite got their act together.

The post office was told to move, they in turn snapped that someone needed to read a book

I've tried to keep quiet on this, and keep my own counsel. But I can't read this thread title without singing to scan with "My baby fits me like a flesh tuxedo" or "I'd like to sink her with my pink torpedo".

The red one with the white stripe is the guitar I most associate with you - coupled with a boiler suit - or did I imagine that bit.

Gotta say, for a 17yo instrument, it's really clean (if a wee bit on the musty side from a previous owner's smoking habit). No rust on any of the chrome bits save for the screws on the input jack. Action is damn near perfect with zero buzzing. Will have to plug it in tomorrow.
