    So I just had to check. Let Walter out for his morning duty, and of course he runs right past it! Ah, it's ok! Funny as it only stood up when Walter was right next to it. Kids!

    Thanks Joe! Love this place! And, in the middle of the city, only 2 miles from the metropolis of our work campus. Hard to believe really! :smile:

    Blarney Castle. Yes, we kissed the Blarney Stone. I did not like being up on top of the castle. I have a visceral fear of heights.

    Second pic is the Cliffs or Moher. I went no where close to the edge. What what a pretty place.

    I was wondering when we were going to get to see some of these pics!

    My wife and her friend kissed it also when we went. It's a beautiful country.

    We made it into Northern Ireland today. Staying in LondonDerry tonight and got to walk on the walls of the city. Cannons still here. Our tour guide for today was great. You could really see that he is very passionate about sharing the history of Derry. Good and bad. It was an emotional tour, to say the least.

    It's a shame that so much blood is shed all over the world in the name of religion.

    I have to admit something...we bought it in Concord NH :# Don’t be mad that i finally made it that far north without letting you know. SO CLOSE!!

    Apparently these vehicles are the 2019 “IT” vehicle and they are flying off the lots. Had no idea until every dealer we went to in a 30 mile driving radius of Northbridge either being sold out, or lower models. Soooo...we took the 80 mile hike to Concord. We overpaid, got crap for a trade-in, and all around i hate car dealers. BUT, my wife got the car she deserves, so she is happy.

    She wanted white, but once she saw that vehicle, she was sold. Then she spent 2 hours convincing me while a second couple waited for hours to hear whether or not we were going to buy it. We ruined their day... ;)

    Nice looking rig! I like black as a (lack of) color choice but since this area I live in has the second most intense sunlight of anywhere in the US next to Death Valley, black is not an option.

    My 3rd guitar and first nylon strung... a 1965 España guitar (I can't find a specific model number.) My great grandpa gave it to me after he found it and tried to put metal strings on it because he doesn't like nylon strings. that is why there is a second metal bridge at the bottom. I decided to just use the new bridge and put nylons back on, it sounds great and plays very nicely! Not to mention that it is beautiful. :)

    Upon a brief Google, I think it's an España SL-11. :)

    Yes, much of the country (US) does as well. But in and around B-more, they're lightning bugs. Interstingly the biochemistry of their light production mechanism (luciferin/luciferase) was worked out by McElroy, Seliger, and colleagues at my (and Matt Polk's) alma mater back when I was a lad.
