SUMMING UP.

Hey all! As some of you had heard I had my amp and two guitars stolen when I went on my first road trip with the Kites. The story is pretty much exhausted at this point. Thank you for all the kind comments guys. It made me feel better. I've recently acquired another Jaguar from Jack at Future Music. I know it will never replace my beloved modded CIJ Jaguar but it's not the gear, it's the player! I'm in need of an amp as well. The fucking fucks also got my Fender Twin Reverb that was also modded. Sooooo, now I have my sights on a Fender Showman. The research I've done tells me it's basically a Twin sans the reverb. I tried one out at Future and it's a pretty rad, ballsy clean tone amp! I can just get a Holy Grail for reverb if need be. That's pretty much it. I want to do some mods to my Jag, money permitting. I'm not gonna go nuts but we shall see. I want to take out the Seymour Duncan humbuckers that are in there and put in the Duncan Vintage Jag pickups I had in my old one. Also put a black pick guard on there. Depending on how the tremolo system holds up, I'll put an American trem in there. Then the big one, ordering a neck from Warmoth with blocks and binding. It will go from this,

to this.

We will see how it all goes. Until next time!

OUR LITTLE ONE IS GONE.

A week ago today I was at the computer. I heard cries from an animal so I rushed out onto 6th st. I see this dog limping with her right leg kinda sticking out. A witness told me she got sideswiped by a car. She was in pain so I brought her home. I got her food and spent time with her rubbing her leg. I made her a bed and just spent the whole day taking care of her. After that day D and I made sure she was comfortable and taken care of. We got her treats,leash and collar and other essentials. She started to walk on her leg better and as I was getting to know her she was such a loving,funny sweet spirit. She would bark at night protecting the house and offer back the love we gave her. So today I get home and I'm greeted with excitement from her. I'm changing shirts and I here a knock at the door. These two cholo looking dudes tell me that I have their dog. They said they lived in Hacienda Heights and left last week out of town and left her at a friend's house who lived here in BH's. They said she got loose from the friends house and they've been looking for her since. I told them to please take care of her in the future. I gave them the rest of the treats, and bone we bought her. I gave her some last pets on her short, smooth coat and said goodbye. I'm a fucking mess right now but I hope she's taken care of better from now on. I fell in love with her in such a short time. I just hope the loving energy we gave her protects her for the years to come.
