Went camping this weekend at River Bottom Farms near Swansea SC.  It's the only Yogi Bear Jellystone Park Camp Resort in South Carolina.  Very nice, family friendly, campground with plenty of activities for all ages.

We've been doing a lot with trains for a while now.  When at the hobby shop shopping recently, we were invited to an indoor flying session at a local church.  We went and watch, having a lot of fun seeing the trouble everyone kept getting into.  My son did pretty good with one of my older electric buggies this weekend so we went and picked up a Hobby Zone Ember 2 RTF.  We flew it around the yard a little but the wind was picking up so we called it a day.  We're looking forward to going over to the football field or somewhere else and trying it out.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate today.

Time for a new guitar amp!

My friends at Ye Olde Music in Hanahan came through again with an amazing amp at an even more amazing price.  I'm now the proud owner of a '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue (DRRI).  If you need gear, go talk to Michael Davis at Ye Olde Music.

Rhonda and I took the camper down to James Island Campground last weekend.  It was just us as Seth was still visiting family up in NC since they weren't able to travel just yet.  We had a good time just relaxing and riding our bikes around the park.  It's so very nice having an excellent campground so close to home.

I picked up a couple of things to make guitar practice a little more fun.  All working very well.

A Sonic Research Turbo Tuner and am very pleased with it.  Tuning is soooo much faster now and the display is very easy to read.

An Electro-harmonix Holy Grail Plus to a get some reverb since my current amp doesn't offer any.  Works very well and has plenty of options.

And last, but definitely not least, a VOX amPlug AC30 for practicing with headphones when I need to keep things quiet.  This has been handy at home for late-night practice when everyone is asleep.  But I can see this being very useful for hotel rooms and other places where the sound level needs to be kept to a minimum and portability is important.  Also, even though the photo doesn't really show, it fits nicely into the jack on my new Strat.
