I may talk to you about making one for my Strat. I would like to shave 15-20% off the depth of mine.

I'd be happy to talk. I still will start a Tele this year, but later. When I do, I'll learn everything I can about Fender necks.

I had an old SG back in high school and the neck was very thin, it was perfect for my hands, I am kind of thinking along those lines. The Strat neck is okay but with the damage my left hand has suffered it gets kinda 2X4-ish at times

fun fun fun









I just went to the market for grub (5.5km) but somehow racked up 40 km on the odometer...
I think that was a real RS by the way, there are several real ones in this area, including 5-6 SC RS'es.. You know, the real scary fast rally ones...
-10.5C cant remember the last time it was that cold round these parts.

Gave the panels a wipe anyway, the sun can do some melting once a bit of dark stuff shows.
The top end had already melted as snow had blown off there. the rest needed some help.

instantly doubled my output.. now if it melts, i get full power again in these clear skies.

Can you put something like RainX on your panels to keep stuff from sticking to them?

I thought of that, but they are coated, and i don't want to ruin the factory coating with some experiment.

Also thought of fog-x, to avoid fog from blocking the sun...

Maybe i should call the manufacturer and ask them?

Good idea. I am thinking a coating like fog-x ect would be okay since it is just a topical coating and not a cleaner, but who knows

Maybe if i spray sun block on my neighbors panels, that the sun will come to mine instead..
I'll give it a try and post results.

first clean doubled it, one hour ago, then it stabilized at 400 W

Just wiped all the sludge off now the sun had softened up the ice, bam, 1.8Kw!



On a day like this i can get 10Kw, i normally use about 5-6 a day.
Obviously in weekends when i'm home, and doing my washings and what not, my usage is up as well


But i need to maximize my output, because in march, my annual bill will be made..And in winter i just can't produce everything, the idea is to catch up in summer, which i can't do in march.

Good morning guys.

We had a good turnout for the PCA breakfast. Good food and good chat.

I have, it is what happens to Navy Fighter pilots who screw the pooch when sent to TopGun.
They are then put in charge of flying rubber dog chit out of Hong Kong.
