Looks like I may have bought some time
Mar. 23rd, 2011 08:47 pmThat's the really nasty thing about Canada. As I used to tell my coworkers in India I get 35+ Celsius temperatures in the summer and -40 Celsius temperatures in the winter. Add in the fluctuations in humidity and keeping a guitar in good working order can be a nightmare.
Oh well. That's the problem with this type of thing. Hopefully the saddle adjustments and 010's will help. I'd prefer 009s for strings but if the extra tension helps, then so be it.

Why does anyone need to take their guns to Taco Bell? The foods already been killed, cleaned and cooked.
Taco rage: Man upset at burrito price rise fires shots
23/03/2011 10:24:59 AM
Jim ForsythSAN ANTONIO (Reuters) - A Taco Bell drive-through customer who became enraged because of a price increase on Beefy Crunch Burritos fired a BB gun through the window at a manager on Sunday, police said.
No one was hurt from the shots fired by the man, who also waved a pistol and an assault rifle in the parking lot, Police Sergeant Chris Benavides said.
As the restaurant's employees and customers hit the floor, the manager called police, and when officers arrived, the angry patron fired several shots at the police cars, Benavides said.
The man then barricaded himself inside a nearby motel room, sparking a standoff that lasted until police lobbed tear gas inside and the man surrendered.
Benavides said the burritos had been sold for 99 cents each as a promotion, but the man was apparently angry that the promotion had ended, and the price had gone up to $1.49.
The name of the 'taco rage' suspect has not been released because he had not yet been formally charged early Monday. Benavides said that the man will be charged with three counts of attempted capital murder, and that additional charges are possible.
The man never did get his burritos.
