Cardoba, Remote And Lonely!

Well, no. Actually I'm really impressed with my new guitar. It has a truss rod! All Cardoba classical guitars have truss rods and that is a major innovation. These guitars are highly regarded, and the high end models are quite expensive. I'm always pleased when I can spot something that a pawnshop owner did not see. In this case they did not do their homework. That happened to me several years ago, when I found an old Guyatone electric, all neglected in a corner of an EZ Pawn. I got it for $50 and sold it on eBay for more than $700. I use a pick to play classical guitar because I never got the hang of finger-picking. The best pick for it is one I found many years ago at Jent's House of Music (now defunct) here in Lubbock. It is copper.

Too windy lately to do any flying but I painted the undersides of several of my rc planes dark blue, as it really aids orientation. I like to fly them far out and high up.
