still a starter guitar level but it's an Epiphone-Gibson which I really wanted. Big upgrade in tone. I love it. This will work for a year. In that time if i'm still jamming this much (daily) I'll spend some real money and get a full Gibson. Maybe a semi-hollow body.

Congrats, I guess someone has to sell liquor*

Previous Message What a couple of months it's been. I lost my job, worked 6 day weeks to close out our distillery, helped line up investors to get it reopened, scored a different job, worked with my FIL building a bedroom for my son's birthday and have 1.5 months off right now. I took a break from posting because I found myself being unnecessarily mean to posters here and the other board. I don't approve of that from myself. I'll probably still not post much, especially after my new job starts as it's a lot more responsibility but I sincerely hope you all and your families and communities are well. “An animal may be cunning and ferocious enough, but it takes a real man to tell a lie.”

Congrats and enjoy your time off*

It always seemed like you took a lot of pride in your role at the old one so hopefully this next one is just as great/even better. Awesome that you have a nice new bonus and some time off.

Glad you found a new job. Are you working with the new owners of your old distillery?

Did you build your sons’s bedroom in the basement? Sounds like a very productive couple months off.
