John, do you have an ETA on yours?  MF claims availability on 9/30/08

Wish I wasn't closing on my new house in October 

Geez, if I hada known it was going to be this bad I would have stayed in the little house in the crummy neighborhood!

We sold our house in nine days, yes nine days, at full asking price   It was a VA loan and the extra level of BS was really a pain  

Just getting ready to move was a PIA!  I must have tossed $400 worth of hardwood scraps out of my garage - I was just too beat to move any more of it.  I rented a 16 foot Pod and stored 90% of our stuff in it while we wait for the house to be built - all I can say is 10 pounds of s*^t in a 5 pound bag - where did we get all of this JUNK!?  I've always thought that we were pretty good with managing the level of junk that we held onto and that we're not overly huge comusmers - WRONG!  I was embarrased at just how much stuff we bagged up and tossed for the garbage collection - why did we have this junk in our house and just where in the Hell did we keep it all?  Our house wasn't cluttered and was very clean so where was all of this mountain of flotsam and jetsam hiding?  I don't know what the answer is but the more exhausted we became the more this junk seemed to lose it's once perceived value.

We actually moved last Sunday and we just now have the temporary apartment set up and organized to our liking though it will be this Tuesday before we have cable TV and internet access.  Even hiring movers this really sucked  - I figure I'm going to die in the new house because I'm not going to move again

Saw this Ibanez in the BP I got in the mail yesterday.  The blurb in BP says that it has a mahogany neck and body but Ibanez' site clearly shows a bolt on maple neck. 

And, fellow Chromlings forgive me , but the giant chrome bridge is just too much nevermind that it's chromed!  Sorry but the bridge reminds me of the fugly Traben bridges.

This is still nice to see, chrome, mahogany and a retro 60's vibe in the NRish, Decade, Jaguar vibe.  I just don't know if I could live with the bridge....

Seems like we have two official leaders here - Dave and Uwe. 

Uwe seems to go by many monikers and Dave is just - Dave, which works fine for me.

Uwe, on the other hand has many names:

Dr. Venöm

Gibsonbassenwaffenfuhrerbergermiester

The Antichrome

Lawyer

The question is - should Uwe be bestowed with an official title?
