A good Sunday morning to all!
Many public buildings put hawk silhouettes in their windows. Just a paste-on shadow in the shape of a hawk. Seems to work.Robins can be vicious. We were terrorized by one Robin who kept attacking its reflection in our windows.This went on for over a month. We taped newspaper over the glass - it ripped the paper off to get at the "other" bird. We put up a plastic owl to scare it away. It roosted on it to rest between attacks.
hey, y'all. I can see why folks might not want to go to TFF. The last few days, I've reported at least 2 spam bots per day. Nobody's posting over there. Tons of people viewing but are they flesh and blood humans or bots? When did the cert expire? March 10 ? I do hate to see the site go but oh, well.
Sadly, I agree with you, Sérgio. I'm removing my bookmark for TFF, as it's just become a poor magnet for spammers, and LPF doesn't seem to want to do anything about it. I'm also removing my bookmark for LPF because 1) I find I've been spending too much time on forums, and 2) LPF doesn't have enough content on a daily basis to interest me.Some of the guys won't go back there as long as there is this security issue, and others make a point of not migrating here but won't post there either, preferring to sit back and watch it 'die with dignity', whatever that means regarding a guitar forum. Me, I'm not posting there anymore. Why start a thread in a forum if you know you'll hardly get any replies? There are like 3 or 4 users left.
I'm in touch with most of you on Facebook, y'all know how to find me there. As long as I don't lose touch with my friends, it's all right. I think we all did what was within our reach to keep the place or to move as a whole band. Didn't happen. Whatever.
I am kind of the same way. TFF was becoming my main daily forum. I don't get enough out of LPF, either. I never did any other social media platform. Lately I had been playing more and spending less time online. I, too, wish to get out more. Now that I'm in a house again, I'm going to be very busy for a long time. I'm looking forward to live music returning and getting together with friends and playing. I'll keep the LPF bookmark but I'm going to delete the TFF bookmark (again).Sadly, I agree with you, Sérgio.

Maybe I'll keep the bookmark, but I'm pulling back. I already left Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I participate in some other forums, but life is short and I need to get out more.
Good news on the move Dan. Those boxes will sort themselves out eventually. So, in the meantime, let’s see some pics of the new Les Paul!hey, y'all. I can see why folks might not want to go to TFF.

Short summary. We moved on the 4th instead of the 5th. Not all our stuff was packed so we just had the movers take what was ready. My brother had a ton of fires to put out at work so I basically minded the entire move. We're still living out of cardboard boxes but there are fewer of them now. A new guitar that I wasn't expecting until August showed up on Saturday and I didn't even get to unpack it until after midnight. Epiphone signature model, a single P-90 Les Paul Custom gold top. I'll get pictures eventually.
A pair of robins showed up right after we moved in last week and built a nest on our flower box window. We witnessed a hostile takeover attempt by an intruder robin, there was much rolling and tumbling on the ground. The home team prevailed. Today my brother saw the robin kick the ass of a much larger blue jay. Robins be feisty buggers, they are.
I foolishly entertained the notion that I could move in on the 4th and then turn around and get the storage units emptied by tomorrow the 13th. I have been admonished by the reality of numerous piles of yet to be unpacked corrugated boxes.
