Takin a break
« on: May 26, 2013, 01:57:03 PM »
Things are getting hectic and I've been having difficulty with computer related back issues. So, I will be taking a break from all computing, including the forum for awhile.  I might pop in once in awhile, but I will be absent for long stretches.  Keep on truckin and best wishes.

Sorry to hear this, Bill. I hope it doesn't impact your bass-building plans.

Hopefully Scott will be able to keep in touch with you, face-to-face wise too...

All is well, bass building won't be affected.  I need some time off the computer,  just like retirement!

Ouch!  I hate back pain!

What you need is, not in this order, a very light laptop or tablet, a pillow to place it on whilst sitting, a good La-Z-boy recliner, a heating pad, TV remote, a cold beer and perhaps a sandwich.

Hang in there - hope you get to feeling better.
