Official Luthiers Forum!

BTW Stock, Clearwater is about an hour and a quarter from my house, and about 50 minutes from my shop. It's 15-20 minutes from the airport. You flying in?

I believe we have effectively crested the summit and have begun our trek down the slippery slope.

So does this mean my "memes" are Tony-approved?

At the end of threads like this, I start to hear the theme of "Trailer Park Boys".

As to the original question, I don't know.

Yeah, I miss some of the old characters. But it wouldn't be the same without Mr. Lahey and Randy.

...Julian...Ricky.

Trevor, Cory.

Not that Trevor (obviously). And not that Mr. Lahey, either.

Bubbles? Is that you?

I keep waiting for Lucy and Sarah.

J-Roc! How could I forget J-Roc?

Never heard of that show, but apparently it's on Netflix. Maybe I'll watch it.

Didn't know that such finely crafted Canadian entertainment was available for American enjoyment! I was going to add a link to a YouTube episode, but I didn't want to get this thread shut down.

Frank Ford gave the best answer to the original question. There's often a wealth of information available on this forum--sometimes given by excellent, experienced pros. Other times, we see great insights from hobbyists, too. For all of that, I'm grateful. But, too often, threads get totally derailed by arguments, clashing egos, or lengthy exchanges from people who indulge themselves in posts they believe to be clever and witty. I'll admit that sometimes they ARE clever and witty. But that sort of post does nothing to advance the art, craft, science and business of instrument making.

No, this means I approve of your memes:

I couldn't agree more. My posts are almost complete nonsense at this point. I haven't posted anything helpful in months. I should rectify that post haste. To that end, I give you this helpful tip:
The best way to reheat a slice of is NOT in the stove or microwave. Instead, put the slice in a non-stick pan on medium low heat and cover the pan. The crust will get nice and crispy and the cheese will melt perfectly.

thanks for the tip; chicago deep dish leftover is best cold...for breakfast, even.

Now that is a great and useful tip.

Thanks for not referring to "Chicago deep dish" as "pizza".

Well, that would be the way to do it if one was completely ignorant of just about everything. The correct way to do it is…well, it's exactly what you said except that you put about a tbs. of butter in the bottom of the pan.
