Posted by: @bpower no. myself and the 3 kids have all tested negative. We did what we could to avoid it but I'm still surprised that we didn't get it. Makes no sense. That's why people smarter than m...

@robin Thanks, I will. It’s just really bad cold symptoms at the moment, nothing too bad (it is horrible though). I was supposed to be travelling up to Scotland next week but I don’t think that will h...

@koendb On this acoustic guitar of mine, the action measures about 2mm at the 12th fret and about 1mm at the 1st fret on the low E string. Use that as a guid for the other strings, they will get sligh...
