My 1982/83/84 (Can't remember exactly what year) Gibson Sonex-180 Deluxe #Guitar. Was one of the guitars I grew up on. Hanging on the wall in my media room because it means so much to me. The roots of my playing.

One of the most beautifully crafted #Guitars ever made. My Gibson Custom Sunburst Supreme, 5A wood. So nice, they shipped it In a satin wrap seen, wrinkled up there. The binding! Solid body! Violin back. Treasure.

The best portable shortwave radio receivers ever. Tecsun H510x, Eton Elite Executive, and Grundig S450DLX Field Radio. Best except for some of the vintage versions. I love all three of these for different reasons. #Shortwave #ShortwaveRadios #HAM #Radios. I carry the Eton with me when I travel.

#Music #Guitars #Guitarsky #Guitar #Musicsky The head of my custom built Fender Nashville style Telecaster. Hand carved bone nut and more. More details later. This is a one of a kind custom built guitar. This guitar has an historical build history from a world renowned luthier. Enjoy!

#Music #Guitars #Guitarsky #Guitar #Musicsky One of my cheap but classic guitars. 1000% mint Fender Lead. Literally like new. Sounds 100% awesome. About 50 years old or more, but also 1000% mint. Not a scratch. Perfection. Sharp sound. Unreal condition. Some case candy. Who has one like this? I do.

#Music #Guitars #Guitarsky #Guitar #Musicsky My guitar of the day. My U.S. Music Master. 100% mint with case candy. Literally 100% mint. A beauty. Maintained and played but kept as VOS. Cheap guitar but perfection as a vintage guitar. Sounds incredible! Vintage gold. What do you think? 40+ years old

I may have posted this before, but it's special. It's an inexpensive but great sounding Alvarez Classical guitar. What's so special? The SN is 101, not 4+ digits. Error maybe? #Music #MusicSky #Guitars #GuitarSky How they make these sound so nice at an affordable price is beyond me. 20+ years old.

My nice Epiphone Les Paul, signed by Les Paul on the body, not the pick guard. Another keeper. #Music #MusicSky #Guitars #GuitarSky #LesPaul This is a rare one that actually sounds nice. Most autographed Epiphone's are cheap guitars. But as far as Epiphone goes, this one isn't bad at all. Quite nice

2003 Alabama Farewell tour, Epiphone Les Paul. Alabama art and prism pick guard. Autographed by the entire band with a silver sharpie on the body not the pick guard. The back lists their #1 hits. #Music #MusicSky #Guitars #GuitarSky Love this guitar.

My 1954 Harmony hollow body. This still plays but it's pretty delicate. Had to have the bridge professionally replaced 10 years ago. #Music #MusicSky #Guitars #GuitarSky

We donated our SodaStream a couple weeks back and slurged on this the Ninja Thirsti. Will never look back. This is a nice more automated and flexible carbonated drink maker. Bonus, the last SodaStream CO2 cylinder works in it. Just made a 'Hint of Lemon' and it's pretty darn good!

One shroom, 23.21 grams! Close to a 1oz single shroom. Home grown. 15 of these in the tray. Many trays, I was halfway there. #Fungi #FungiFriends #Forager #Mushrooms #Mycology #Fungisky. My strains did well. Started years before at 5 or 6 grams per shroom. Ended up here. Circa the years 2000/2001.

Photo of using foil directly attached to a fungi to capture falling spores from a great specimen of fungi to grow the next great generation of this fungi. Selective breeding in action. #Fungi #FungiFriends #Forager #Mushrooms #Mycology #Fungisky. The cap was more than 4" in size. Next one was 5"+.

One of my own strains. Gen 5 or 6. Circa 2000. Thick, fat and heavy. Great on a pizza. Literally from scratch. This strain did not grow even close to the original. It was 5 times the size and weight. Circa 2000. Ugly but fat and tasty. #Fungi #FungiFriends #Forager #Mushrooms #Mycology #Fungisky

My isolate, circa 1999. Trying to make a strain for size and weight. Did a bunch of these. I got a single fungi up to 40+ grams. Took a few years to get there. My largest single mushroom was 64 grams from this batch. #Fungi #FungiFriends #Forager #Mushrooms #Mycology #Fungisky. Oysters only now.

Making a spore print. Sucrets box for scale. Isolate for size. #Fungi #FungiFriends #Forager #Mushrooms #Mycology #Fungisky. This was a great harvest. Circa 2000, barely fit's the petri dish. Aggressive strain. Regrew nicely. 7th gen was grown in 2000. Just do Oysters now but I got them pretty big!

I have this exact pressure cooker to make my sub-straights. I treat it well and use it carefully. Any one else use this incredible cooker? I do Rye and other grains in it.

Doing Oyster mushrooms now days but from my own spores. I don't do kits. 😀 😍

Another method of #Fungi preservation for future use is spore prints for future grows. #fungifriends #mushrooms #mycology #nature #fungi. Seal them in Parafilm once printed. These are plastic Petri dishes but I use glass for long term storage. Glass preserved prints can last decades or forever even.

Baby cakes starting. These were a great start for this batch. I think I had two dozen of these cool little tins at the time and 90% failed. It must have been my 15th or 16th attempt. It was not easy to get to this stage when I started. But I figured it out. #Fungi #FungiFriends #Forager #Mushrooms

The art of capturing the drop of the spores. Various species and stages. #Fungi #FungiFriends #Forager #Mushrooms Bic lighter for scale. Spores viable for decades if stored right. Spores were captured on foil and transferred to test tubes in a controlled environment, some in sterile water.
