Welcome back Harley!
You know what?
The Depot is a Sanctuary and the guys here became true friends, since I bought my MP-1 in 2016 and started posting.
You, Phil, Dante, Richard...I learned a lot from you all about ADA stuff and music, more generally speaking.
It would be great to have one week to spend together somewhere, drinking beer and playing guitars very, very loudly!
I've read about you're last tribulations and yes....this year has been very complicated for many reasons.
I feel lucky...I've a job, I can do it remotely...my wife can do the same....we have a home to stay safe.
Very, very lucky.
But, at the end, we start back talking about guitars and ADA stuff and amps and tubes...and all the troubles are gone away: we're the same, old bunch of old stuff addicted!
You know, that's very true, the Depot is a community like no other on the internet.
We all have a great respect for each other's talents as well as each other's knowledge, which we share with each other here, and in turn, we've become a very well-informed community on ADA gear and how to use it.
I think it would be grand to have a get together and down a few brews and jam, but realistically, with all that's going on in our lives and all over the world...well, let's see what happens. Life throws me peppers, so I learned to make hot sauce.
My tribulations are nothing more than potholes in the highway of life, you ride over them when you can't avoid them and keep moving. I'm glad you and your family are staying safe. I keep to myself here so I'm relatively safe. There were a few other things that happened since I went missing from the Depot. Namely, I walked out of Alcoa where I was working at that time. I got fed up with working for A-holes!
After that, I went to work for myself driving for Lyft for about 6 months, which was fun, and kind of weird at times
Man! You meet some of the goofiest people at airports. Oh, and when it's time to take the drunks home from the bars at closing time, well, don't get me started
That went on until some uninsured girl in a pickup ran a red light and hit my car. I had to pay for that myself.
Insurance companies are nothing more than modern day racketeers literally!
After that, I went to work at an Amazon fulfillment center in Cleveland for about 8 months, good money, but too many stupid people. I left there and eventually wound up where I am now, so I'm not complaining. Things have a way of coming around to something better.
Since I've left Alcoa, I've started feeling better about myself, and because of that, I think the time was right to come back here. The Depot is a place I've always felt comfortable.
Maybe it's about time for a Quarantine Jam?
