Hey thanks guys, I appreciate it!
I'm feeling crappy still... and I've been going back and forth all day... but overall it's WAY better than yesterday -when I couldn't stand up for more than a few minutes at a time.
Hey Paul, thanks for the advice! I actually happen to be fortunate enough to know (thanks to of my other half) about the wonders of ginger, honey and lemon. But it's great advice -which I also would share with others when the occaision arises.
I dunno what it is... seems like either food poisoning or summer flu -which is kind of comical to try to conceptualize, considering where I live, and the temperatures here right now.
Yeah, I'm extremely pleased with the Coco Bolo they selected for me. I'd have to say it's perfect -for what I wanted- or so close there's no point being dissatisfied and asking for something better.
They nailed it with their first attempt... and what a great piece. I was resolved not to be too picky... as long as it was adequate for my needs, I wasn't going to ask for another selection; so I would've accepted something less awesome.
But that certainly wasn't an issue! This board rocks. I love the figuring on both sides! The front looks awesome, with the lineyness in the center, and the figuring going out to match the curves of the body...! Exceptionally cool, as awesome looking as any Coco Bolo I've ever seen. The figuring on the back is different, Yin to the Yang of the front, with more swirls in the middle of the body. Interestingly, the front and back come from the same board, but (for those who may not have caught this on early posts on the subject) they are from the same board... but have the opposite (relative to each other) ends glued together for the BTC.
This is pretty cool. It pleases me that the front and back are from the same board; and it provides both contrast and (yet) unity.
Blah, Blah, Blah... yeah, I'm psyched!
Thanks again for the support and positive thoughts, guys!
