Since we normally have about one new thread a month, let me pose the question to us active Maricopans: How goes it?

I'm gettin' to an age where I'm not as active as I once was, but everything's fine in Maricopa. It was a little cold today, though. Got my very first tube amp today, so things are looking up.

It's an amplifier (in this case, for electric guitars) that uses vacuum tubes instead of transistors. They provide a chimey, shimmering tone that can't be had from solid state, and can be overdriven into distortion without the use of effects pedals. They're what everybody used in the early days of rock'n'roll. |

I'm too lazy to take a photo, but here's one from the internet:  It's intended for home use, so is only 4 Watts and has an attenuator that allows for selection between 4, 1, or 1/4 Watts. It's plenty loud on 1/4W, so that's where I leave it. |

Nice amp!
As I posted over in the chat room I just got out of the Hospital and am still very weak. But it's better than I was.
Other than that I doing well. I spent my awake parts of Sunday writing and drawing. Posted a couple of thing to my Deviantart account.
The good/bad part was that we had to suspend a meeting with the prosecuting attorney on my younger daughters attempted rape case. Good in that it kept my daughter from having to relive all the horrors that shes been through, Bad in that we couldn't get it over with.
