Hey, Mark... Maybe as a special surprise, your kids and friends will secretly come into your shop when you're not there, and clean up and organize all your tools for you...

...JUST KIDDING!!!

Seriously, Happy Birthday (you old fart) (wait a minute, compared to me, you're not that old...), and thanks very much for all the help and great advice you share with all of us!

All the Best,

Gene

Well thanks folks,

Yesterday I was wined and dined by friends and family ...I got no guitar(s)...I did get a book on Gibson Super 400's and L-5's by Tom Van Hoose .

great info and a section on the restoration of a water damaged Super 400!

I also got some tools (taps and parting tools) from my middle daughter and son-in law .The other daughters thought it was weird ,but I put them to use this morning .Ah the smell of Molly-Dee in the morning .....victory!
