Kyle, Andy Summers of The Police played a couple of Klein guitars back in the '90s, as did Alan Holdsworth. Those headless guitars were rather popular in the '80s and '90s, mostly because of Steinberger guitars. Steve Klein used Steinberger hardware on his electric guitars, and always credited both Ned Steinberger and Ronnie Montrose for the development of that guitar. As for the guy in Australia, I suspect it is probably a Chinese-made kit he is selling at such a low price.
Reminds me a little of the synthaxe I saw in a photo of Allan Holdsworth.
No luck so far with the van. Which probably means its the "tandem pump" -- watch out, the VW Touareg, which I think is sold in the US, some of them had the same engine as mine. I wish VW had put somewhere a big
Warnung! that letting the van run out of diesel is not only a pain in the a**, but also likely to a pain in the wallet. The van has 100K miles on it (young for a diesel). One more thing to check early tomorrow morning that will verify the pump is a problem, and order one and hope it can arrive by Wednesday (small country, sometimes the deliveries can be Amazon Prime like). Would like to get it back in to working by the weekend.
The older two kids a couple of days ago figured out it was fun to jump off their bunkbed onto the other bed below. I told them to stop. They did it again today, which added to my problems. A wise man at Highland Hardware in Atlanta once said "you can never have too many clamps". I would add that fast curing polyurethane wood glue is another must-have on hand at all times (and in fact it can stick many other materials).

We call that Gorilla glue over here. Takes 24 hours to dry properly. You got more clamps than Uncle Jed Clampett.
Prayers for you Ed, not sleeping and hurting is a tough combination.
Glad you got some sleep Ed.
I found a red golf cart but it needs batteries.

Can it use the power packs from the ECO stuff?
Freedom Lives: I once ran out of fuel on a rented Diesel powered trencher. Couldn't get it started again until I took the fuel line leading to the injectors loose and poured fuel into it directly. That got the engine running long enough for the fuel pump to prime and take over. As I recall, I had to prime it a couple of times before it would stay running. I got into that trouble because the fuel gauge on the trencher was busted. The rental guy heard about that!:laughing:
For the van, I have a little hand powered vacuum pump that I use (on my tractor) to hook into a line at the injector pump. Actually, I take out the bleeder screw and just stick the tube that fits into it and start pumping. When I get diesel up to the pump, I put the bleeder screw back in and usually starts up in about 10 seconds of cranking.
I tested the block heater and it's bad again. I'm not sure what's going on with it. This will be the fourth or fifth one I have replaced in the last three years. I'm thinking I'm doing some thing wrong but I'm not sure what it could be. I'll pick one up when we go to town this week and try again.
You won't need a block heater down here.
Farmer, let us know how the ABA therapy goes. I hope it goes well. We are having periods of bad reactions/behaviors with our daughter. She will listen to "her" chosen videos at a loud setting, and then even the slightest peep from her little brother can set her off.
Anticipating a lot of rain late this week.
Ron, holding the phone up to your head for an hour may ruin your good arm. I hate phone waits, but not as bad as office waits....
Nice pics Eric and Drew, thanks.
Chicken count is still holding at 2. They tend to get into their coop rather quickly these days. There is very little "pecking order".
Bush 41 will ride the train to College Station for his final resting spot at the Bush library on Thursday. Been hearing Great stories of the man. I don't think there exists a person with a finer resume. Fortunately, many have kept his letters written by him.
Hope you all have a blessed day.
