Elcap, wishing you the best.
I'm confident, you're tough, driven, clear headed.
Also, you're one of the main reasons I drink less than 1% of what I used to do.

Good job Steve. When I quit, someone told me to tape a pic of the family to your dashboard or near the speedometer and if you ever find yourself driving to the beer store you'll have to face that pic and remember why you stopped in the first place. I didn't do it (not married, no kids), but sounds like a good idea to me.
I'm going good, thanks. Tried a little more trouble shooting on the pickup, but I need to wire it direct to the jack to make sure it's not the pickup or its lead that's the problem (rather than pot/cap/solder) and I don't have any spare wire laying around. Need to swap some 'bucker sized P90s into one of my other ones, so I may just drop it at the guitar shop and let them mess with them, save me a lot of time and frustration.

It'll will definitely be weird climbing without beers, but as you said, it should only be better!

Merry Christmas Steve. Good to hear you are taking care of yourself. We all have our vices and none of them are easy to overcome. My best to you and yours for the holidays!! :)

You and Sprock seem to cross paths.
A source to bounce things off of maybe?

All is well, and yeah, Dr. Sprock and I used to go bouldering and climbing up at Castle Rock State Park all the time. I'd usually tow a handful beers with me. He always declined my offers.
He moved up north (Chico area?) so I don't see him anymore, but I do have the memories;
Had a dream last night about somebody handing me a beer and I was getting stoked on cracking it, then I asked myself, "Dude, what the f*#k are you doing?!!?"
I woke up at like 3am thanking God that it was just a dream...
