Router got knocked out again - sigh... And I seem to have lost my mouse somewhere. Hope I didn't leave it in Seattle.

I've always had a secret weapon available if I ever need it to give the store a kick - my own instrument collection. In fact I've sold off several pieces and barely made a dent in it. There are several instruments that aren't for sale at any price, but the remainder is enough to instantly command a presence in the local vintage guitar market. I've thrown a few up in the shop on occasion just to show some cartel brand names. Then taken them back after a few weeks of exposure and no buyers. Not quite ready to part with them yet. But I'm cleaning house a bit and don't need quite so many guitars and other musical things now that I can get pretty much any of those things I need. Today is not the day for such a bold statement. I'm waiting for the right time.

Will the store be open tomorrow? Well yeah. I'll likely lock up and come home early though.
