Brands I Endorse

[GMO415]

I will never buy any other brand of vehicle. My 2 used ones are nicer than any new car I have ever bought

2008 c300

2005 e320

That's some next level Sapranos shhhh there!

Likewise. My wife and I both drive benzes too. Great vehicles but the maintenance is pricey.

Everyone that isn't allergic to peanuts knows about Jif, Peter Pan, Skippy and Scudder.

Scudder, not so much...

Wanted to mention one brand...or should I say one part of a brand.
Sam was talking about Guitars earlier.

I have a number of guitars and for the most part I have bought different brands and most are more of a 80's metal type guitars.

Jackson Dinky
BC Rich Warlock - painted the ultimate hair metal style..Zebra Stripes lol
Schecter - not really metal style
Dean - Dime Razorback

There are bits and pieces I like about my different guitars. I would love to have a custom guitar made with different things from my different guitars.

A few things I like.

Either Seymour Duncan JB pickups or EMG 81/85 set
Have always and will always love the Warlock Shape but I would be ok with other styles
The sustain and finish of a Gibson

But above all...A Dean Neck.

I can play all of my guitars and time after time I keep coming back to the comfort of the dean neck on my razorback.
Which is funny because besides looks of it...it is really the only thing about it I like. The guitar shape looks killer but it is a pain as it is so big and sharp that
I am always afraid of breaking a tip. I do not like the dimebucker pickup that comes in it either. So The sound is not really to my liking.

But that neck...it is just the most comfortable guitar neck I have ever played and it is not even close. I have looked at different styles of dean guitars and nothing really does it for me in their Super Strat line.
they have a couple of single cuts gibson les paul styles but they are just not as appealing to me.

But I swear if I could ever afford to have a gibson custom guitar (or any other brand)...I would tell them to couple the neck of the dean guitar. It is just perfect to me.

Hand guns

I think I am falling hard for a hand gun I have been wanting for some time now. Either a glock 19 gen5 or a Glock 17 gen5. (9mm)
I finally got to go to a store and examine the 19 and it fit really nice in my hands. I think a 17 would probably feel about the same as they are not much bigger than the 19.

My dad has a glock 22 gen4 (.40) and it is pretty nice but I want the 9mm

I currently have a Ruger P95 (9mm) that the wife got me as a christmas gift a few years ago. It is a nice hand gun but it just does not feel right in my hand. Just does not fit right to me.

I don't believe I've never gotten a chance to play a Dean. (and more specifically, Dime's model) Though I must say. I've never been a fan of big bulky guitars. (like his or says a Gibson Explorer)

I notice Dean offers an SG clone (Gran Sport X) too. Have you had a chance to play it? I've always found them ugly as sin, but the sound they produce is a thing of beauty.

Looking at Dean's site. I think I want to find a Dean Icon series. That looks like a guitar I could play. I'm on the lookout for the next guitar to add to my collection. They seem to have a Dinky like style one too called the Vendetta Series.

As for guns. My buddy has this .22 long nose revolver. I love that gun. It's almost as accurate as my 1932 bolt action .22 my grandfather gave me. Other than that, I still want a chrome 1911. Between those three. I would be happy enough.

I would suggest finding a dean guitar in a store or if a friend has one and try one that has what they call a V neck. That is the style they call on the razorback. I don't know if they use it on all of their other guitars or just certain ones.

Otherwise their guitars are ok but not something I would call special other than the necks. I don't even think the guy who started Dean guitars (Dean Zelinsky (sp?) has anything to do with them anymore. He was the guy who made the famous ZZ Top spinning Fur guitars.

Laura Scudder? She's Skippy's Mom. Skippy is the love child between Laura and Peter Pan, who did not stay a boy for long.

Got tired of buying cheaper shoes every year. These have lasted me over 2 years and are very comfortable.

I have two pairs of Nunn Bush, just because I like the name.

Okay, would you prefer I endorse El Yucateco habanero hot sauce? Had some at a Mexican restaurant in Ohio, back in July, and convinced the waiter to get me a bottle to take home. Very hot, but very tasty!

Ohio has Mexican food? Lol!

 

[Ranching]

I endorse, Stetson hats, Wrangler jeans, Justin boots, copenhagen fine cut and Skoal long cut. Tap water, Whataburger, Johnnie Walker Black, Grey Goose or Ivana***** vodka for mixing. Miller Lite and the Dallas Cowboys, except for Garrett!

Never tried them. I do like the soft-shelled Rockports though. They are comfortable and don't rub against my heels and at the top near my ankles. I absolutely hate the hard leather shoes. Freaking uncomfortable as hell.

These require a break in period, but afterwards, they're awesome.

How surprising from a man that just discovered Jif in the last few days.

I've been a Nike guy for 25 years as that was recommended by my podiatrist for plantar faciitis, not to be confused with facetiousness but I do have both.

So, I check out this store called The Walking Company, but drove there, that specializes in shoes for people with funked up feet. They have you walk on this pad that records how you walk, pressure points, arch, etc for Abeo shoes, which come with "custom" orthotics, really only 3 different choices. They don't have all the cool colors and styles that Nike has but the shoe is really great, I highly recommend them for anyone with this foot issue.

They also make a great flip flop with a lot of support as my feet rarely see the inside of a shoe once the weather warms up. I have Tevas and Vionics but these Abeo flip flops are boss.

 

[CouchCoach]

Me? A smart***??? Not this time.....but please, never apologize to me again. It just makes me feel weird.

Same here, I winced when I wrote that and hesitated to hit the Post Rely button. I may deserve a suspension from the PJG.
