Yes, very nice wood you've got on her! I understand all those OOOHH's and AAHH's in the front row of the audience you were complaining about
Nice to know of the hints for good photos, thanks.

Hi Bonnie-fans,

you'll have to check this page for the unveil of Bonnie's X-mas present but ...a little patience for that.
After almost 9 years being together Bonnie dared the step on the bathroom-scale.
For those who were wondering about her wheight?

Between 7 en 8 kilo ladies and gentle people !!!!
(okay-okay ...a bit closer to the 8 than to the 7 I think).
That means ...oh ...huh ...15.4322 pounds!!!!!!

Paul the bad one

Wow! What gauge stings are you using?
Even heavy she's still beautiful, Brother Paul.

Brother Sam!!!
Thank you!
Heavy although ...brother Bob ...-you know ...the sailing dude who is temporary not available right now- send me a mail to check urgently my bathroom scale because it seems just impossible!

Mmmmm ...makes sense because all feminine members of my family went on a diet the last weeks HA!

Paul the bad one

I have to find a way to y?&?!?

?!?? check that weight!

Paul, tbo:

O.K., I admit it, we over here on this side of the pond don't do metric very well. Still, isn't a kilo approximately 2.2 pounds? If so, then wouldn't 8 kilos be about 17.6 lbs.? And 7 would work out to 15.4? (At either weight I hope you have a very good strap! LOL)

Am I missing something? Or maybe that beautiful claro-wood top adds bouyancy - sort of a helium effect?

Bill, tgo

P.S. I just noticed the reference to Bonnie Raitt as your treasure's namesake. I've been fortunate to have seen her live numerous times. She rocks! It also reminded me of one of my favorite bass players, (and certainly my all time favorite bass player name), her bassist in the early days: Freebo! Any idea what became of him?

Ho yes ...I REALLY like hil a lot.
He was of great influence on my bass-playing.
I send him a mail and he answered!
Nice guy.
Not into bassplaying for the moment anymore. He is a singer-songwriter.

Dave,
Okay. I'm looking for information on flashing the ROMs in my '03 Dodge Ram 1500, so as to hopefully tweak my shift points and improve my mileage. Something tells me that by the time you finished reading the previous sentence you already had the best url in mind and had begun typing. If you don't post it now, I'm sure it's just out of humility. While the Freebo url may have been fairly straightforward, we've all benefitted enormously from your command of the web. You are amazing.
John

Brother Paul,

I never get tired of seeing pictures of Bonnie, she's a masterpiece for sure.

John; you had me rolling on the floor laughing!! Thanks!! I think amazing doesn't really apply; it's more a function of spending way to much time on the internet while the stuff I get paid to do is piled up on my desk.
