Location: closely held secret | Big brown paid me a visit yesterday, and brought me my 1866 from the other end of the country!
It's an FRG, but I certainly can't find anything wrong with it, other than a few pick scratches to rub out. Looks and plays like new!
Sorry for the cheesy camera-phone pics, can't seem to locate my digital... probably in that box we haven't unpacked yet... |

Per the boxes... we just moved from a 2700sf house on 10 acres into a 1400sf house on 1/3 acre. Needless to say, we're having some challenges deciding what to keep, and where to put it. Unpacking is still in process.
My wife was gracious to give me the one and only extra room for a studio. My O's could have been hanging in a sewing room amidst quilts and scissors... :eek: |

Unpacking! been there , done that more times than I care to count. I think if I move again, I'll sell off most everything except the O's and start again from Scratch! :D
Good luck. |

My 1624 pales to that model but it is an interesting flavor to dance with.
I really like the rosette on that one. |

Location: closely held secret | Thanks, Skinny! A Country Artist would be nice... are you volunteering one?
Actually, I was thinking of a Viper to replace that odd looking one on the end...
maybe like this one.
Viper
Shame about the buckle rash - I never have that problem, my pj's don't have buckles. |

I would say to look in the gallery but I haven't finished posting all the darn pictures yet. Maybe by the end of the weekend. |

Do you by any chance have any anti-psychotic medications I can give my wife before I bring up the subject? |

(It does seem to elevate your blood pressure 30 days later when the bill comes ;) )
Which is how you explain to the wife why you need a pair of Vipers (to calm your nerves and lower your BP) :D |
