    A bit early for that? What a mess. The same amount of snow in the Mid-Atlantic would shut the place down for DAYS. They're a weaker breed out here.

    How's the new coffee machine working out?

    I just pulled everything liquid out of the camper as a precaution - fridge items, canned foods, cleaning supplies and toiletries. I've been keeping the heater on at 40* but if it runs out of juice then I want to be prepared.
    Everyone say a prayer that I did the winterizing process correctly and don't find any frozen pipes!

    Any guitar players here? I’m thinking about taking up the instrument. Stopped at the local shop, looked around, and seem to be drawn to a Parlor size. The shop had a Paul Reed Smith SE P20E. A bit more than I really want to spend and would like suggestions. Prefer but not absolutely required is Acoustic-Electric. Could be acoustic only.

    You spending a load of money for your first guitar.
    There are a lot of comparisons on you tube.
    I’d start with less expensive one myself cause I found out I can’t play a regular guitar.
    I can’t play what I have now but at least I can make noise..

    I am going to stop at a few shops specifically looking for used. The one I stopped at today has “High-end Guitars & Lessons” across the bottom of their business card…

    folks trade in instruments like they trade in camera gear. not worth buying new because lots of folks change their minds constantly about what they want. if you're patient you'll find the perfect thing at a good price, dont buy the first thing you see.
    and do a little research. there's good and bad with all brands
