Thanks for the warm welcome back!
The truth is, I've been quite busy with life getting in the way of all my fun, a lot of work, career changes and screwy laptop computers that quit 'putin, after a few months. I bought this one at a pawn shop back in September when I went down there to check on a Fender Cyber-Twin. (Yeah, I bought that too).
Of course, as I mentioned in my post, I just recently bought a refurbished desktop PC from Amazon, and it's due here next week. If it's working correctly, with no issues, and I don't have to return it for another one, I'll be able to hook up my Focusrite to it, and get back in business again. That last PC I had it connected to is no longer supported by microshaft. Windows 7
I have definitely missed everyone here, and the Depot comes up in a lot of conversations in some of the most unexpected places. What brought me back here was a video I spotted with an awesome guitar player in Australia by the name of Leon Todd. He just got one of his MP-1's hot-rodded with the 3TM mod, and did a demo on youtube with it. On top of being a deadly guitar player, he's also one of the coolest people on the planet! Richard...have you heard of him? If not, you're missing out brother!
Speaking of 3TM mods and things connected with that...MJMP
I set up a Skype account years ago so we could connect, but still haven't used it yet lol. We need to get connected, I have a lot of work I need to do
Slimjim, the feeling is mutual, it got me thinking about the Depot again, and I had to come back and check in. I'd been here a few times before, lurking and reading up on the more recent posts, but didn't say anything. Before I can post any kind of videos or anything, I need to buy a decent camera again when I can afford it, but first, I need to get the PC situation running solid. Priorities Bro

I'm glad you're still here! I've been keeping safe during this stupid pandemic as I hope you and everyone else has been too!
So...now comes the question. The old Depot is back? There are two ADA Depots now? It's cool to see that little Nick is running it. It seems he inherited a lot of the awesomeness that was his dad. I hope I get to know him as well as I knew Jurrie, that would be great!
Anyway, here's where I am with the latest of things. I've torn apart my studio downstairs and started packing to prepare for a move to a new place. But now, I'm not sure that's going to happen. You see, my landlord passed away a couple of months ago, and her son inherited this place, along with all her other properties,(multiple headaches). Since this building is in dire need of some major repairs, I figured it will never happen because I know her son and his wife were in no way prepared to get all this dropped into their laps like this. This place has been on the market for almost two years now, and hasn;t moved. Mostly due to the repairs needed here would be my guess. It's been risky to say the least since I've lived here, with the electrical system not being grounded, coupled with the roof leaking more every year, which is leading to foundation issues. Yep, it leaks down inside the the back wall to the basement, seeps up onto the floor and runs to the floor drain. Also, it leaks into the garage from the front porch, (the garage is under the front porch on the East side of the house). And the outer garage wall is buckling.
However, just two days ago, a contractor came over to look at the place and give an estimate of how much it will cost to fix it up enough to sell it. If they actually do any of these repairs, I might pay an electrical contractor friend of mine to come over and re-wire and ground the fuse panel to the building, and I'll definitely stay a while after that. If not, then I'm going to scoot before the place comes down around me
Either way, I'll keep you folks posted. The truth is, this is one of the nicest apartments I've ever lived in, and I'd be hard pressed to find anything close to this. So I don't really want to move, but if it comes down to it, I will.
Anyhow gang, enough of my ranting and raving. Any major events with anyone here? I know I've missed a lot, but lets start with the highlights!
