[tbondo]

Tomorrow is the day!

overnight DHL.....Steve is still talking about David's beauty, but there was clapping in the background for mine...so, I'm joining the "Got my TS guitar" club if it doesn't ship to Piscataway (say that 3X fast).

[cpmusic]

Piscataway, Piscataway, Piscataway! Now, you do "Six thick thistle sticks"!

Congrats, Tom, and don't forget those pictures!

[tvkruzan]

Yahooooooo!!! Look forward to seeing and hearing about it! Congrats.

[meridian]

Hey Tommy! And without so much as a glimpse!

To quote Mr. Simper, locked and loaded.

[tbondo]

OK.....david's awesomely beautiful guitar....that's what I meant....hey, I'm a bit excited here, OK!

Steve --- thanks again.......who would've imagined...a guitar selling guy with a wicked sense of humor and killer chops.

[Cynbrad]

Congratulations tbondo!! Can't wait to see the pictures of it.

[meridian]

Steve called me, too!!!!

I was SOOOOOOOO excited!!!!

Until he said he had no new info about my guitar:(

Oh, well. I may not have the patience of a Saint, but then again . . .

"A Saint I Ain't!!"

[Ian Anderson]

Tom congratulations. May it arrive safe and sound! I also look forward to hear your impressions about the new geetar.

[rsimper]

TommyB- congrats! Looks like you and I will be gettin ours on the same day....

Mine was delivered today, but since I was on the golf course, I didnt get to the mail room before it closes...Ill be there first thing in the morning to pick it up, you can count on that.

My friend swung by to check for me, and he said he peeked his head in and saw a big box that said Taylor and SIMPER printed on the side of it...

I wonder what it is....?!?!?!? :D

[Lisa]

Frankly, I don't even find him to be mildly cute... :roll:
You're a scream, Steve.

Tom, WHOOO HOoo!!!! Time to think about that upcoming TS jam in St. Augustine! Congrats!!!

[Cisco]

Congrat Tom
I can feel the anticipation from here on the left coast.:) Sit down with her and tell her you love her !!!! hehehehe then send us some pics.


Ron

[Gutch]

Congrats, Tom you lucky dog!!! Can't wait to see the pics!!!

[tbondo]

In an attempt to serve the forces of good (and be a Fresca drinking scholarship winner...name that movie), I plan to take pictures and post them within minutes of receipt. The only way I know to accomplish this goal is to not play the guitar until the pics are complete, so if I'm in the picture, you'll understand that my wife (Vicki) is assisting me in meeting that metric.

Gutch, you are so right!!!

Thanks to all for the good wishes, as you may note by the time of this post, I was not a good sleeper last night. Anticipation, anticipation.......

Ryan, how'd ya shoot? It'll be cool to see the 2002 and 2000 spec 900s side by side (Nov 9, 10, 11)

[rsimper]

Ill take the Fifth amendment on my score for the day- it was AWFUL...the entire team played terribly...no rythym to my swing all day long...lets just say I didnt scare 80 :(

Got a big tourney coming up this weekend, and the last one the following weekend...

Im still trying to figure out if Im comin down in Nov...shuttle launch was rescheduled, though :(

[david_m]

Congratulations on the guitar!!!

Not even mildly cute?!? What did I do to deserve that?:roll: (looks in mirror) Oh, now I see.

So TODAY IS THE DAY. Look out for those fine folks at DHL. They initially delievered my guitar at 9:36 in the morning. Those folks are VERY prompt.

Can't wait to see it.

David

[tbondo]

I'm gonna go play...thought you might like to see the pics

I am a happy camper....with a whole weekend in front of me to play the harem .....this 912C has the best setup neck yet, and I'm real gaga about my PS14 and K14C in that area........that redwood rings forever.......

Enjoy!

[david_m]

Tom beautiful guitar!! Those redwood tops are just amazing.

I have a question: did you order the 912c with chrome tuners?

David

[meridian]

Congrats Tom!!

Looks wonderful!:) :) :)

[rsimper]

SO GORGEOUS TOM! Congratulations on a great one!!!

[tbondo]

Yes, ordered with nickel schallers.....and thanks for the kind comments, did everyone notice the metallic strap buttons hanging off the bottom.....looks great (those w/o electronics, naturally...oops, was that a pun?)

OBTW Ryan.....launch has not been rescheduled as far as KSC knows.....maybe Larry H. can weigh in here, as those JSC guys are the first to know!

[Doug L.]

Tom,

Absolutely beautiful guitar!!! You look like a proud new papa. :roll: I can't wait to see it in Nov. How does she sound?

I got in touch with Bagelsgirl. She gave me some good ideas. I will have it all nailed down by Sunday. I will call or E-mail Monday at the latest so we can roll out to the masses. Take care...

Best Regards,
Doug L. :)

As far as I know, there has been no change in the scheduled launch date for STS-113, but the flight readiness review, where the bigwigs set the "official" launch date and time hasn't happened yet. I suspect that they will set it for Thursday the 14th, to carry on the paradigm of launching on Thursday to minimize Sunday differential pay for the civil servants who work the pre-launch support count.
