I realized early this afternoon that we had no plans for a Christmas Dinner.

The task became mine.

Due to a lot of things that I don't want to get into, there is a split in the family about one family member. His sisters are both against him but neither will be at the Christmas Dinner and so I thought that it would be okay for him and his new wife to come eat with us.

So that was a big mistake and now our Christmas Dinner has suddenly blew up in my face.

What a surprise that was!

What's that saying? Being punished for doing something nice?

Chest pains. Wondering whether the old ticker is up for another year.

I asked my brother to pick up a guitar amp from a pawn shop for me, I said I'd reimburse him.

He gave me the amp and refused to accept money for it.

It's a Festivus miracle. :mrgreen:

Nice one.
I could do with another. I pull my Fender down and cajole it into working, but only until I reassemble it.
Most annoying.

It's a DOD Grind-It, I plan on modifying it so I can use it as a preamp.
