specifically here:

Pecos is actually in Reeves county which is just North of Pecos county. the Pecos river is the border of Reeves county to the East.

for some reason i can't seem to get the first link to work correctly. just click on the first link then click on the first option it gives you

If you think Reeves County is sparsely populated, you need to cross the Pecos into Loving County.

I have had the experience of visiting Pecos Texas, thanks very much. It is certainly a quintessential west TX town.

I have also visited the A&M Research & Extension Center in Fort Stockton a number of times.

Well, it looks like the party's over for the Colby bass.  I'll have to move on to my spray equipment and the Billybo.

Oh, gee, whatEVER will you do???  How will you bear up???

That Billybo is exceptionally sweet...and completely different from that fantastic Colby.

I salute your mad instrument building skills!!!

[drbassman]

Thanks Al.  I just want my finishing skills to catch up to my woodworking ability.

Amen! Nice job Doc!

The Colby looks fantastic!  I'm guessing all the work you've put in with rattlecans will pay off quickly.

[drbassman]

Thanks so much guys, you make me blush!  I took way too long to do this and while I sure have learned a lot from the rattle cans, I won't miss them one bit!  I'm very happy with how the bass turned out overall.  The chambering, body recutting, the neck angle, fret board and truss rod replacement, fretting/nut, fixing finish flaws on the back of the neck, utilizing Sniper's hardware and harness, all turned out as I wanted.  So, there's lots I'm thankful for.  The best part is it's a great sounding bass and plays well.  Thank heavens!

Hey sniper, in a year or two, if you get tired of playing it, I'll refin it free of charge!  I will have my act together soon.  I plan on using my new spray set up to finish the Billybo, the EB-3 and the long lingering EB-2 I've had laying around for 2 years!

[sniper]

Thanks Doc, I will probably take you up on that offer after you get some of your projects done. I am looking forward to seeing the long EB and the Billy Bo done.

[drbassman]

My pleasure CW.  It gonna rain all weekend, so maybe I can work in the barn on my setup.

[drbassman]

Hey CW, I got a bunch of black screws in the correct sizes for your bass, thanks to Carlo.  I'll drop some in the mail to you this week.

[drbassman]

The black screws went out today CW. Enjoy!
