MAS was a struggle for my last year as well. Me thinks my MAS and Michaelw MAS are different.  Mine ended with this.

My best music buddy is an awesome mandolin player. He also plays Weber. What model is that? Is it new or used. It is really classy!

It is a Weber Vintage F14-O, I purchased it new, but it was a NOS from a shop going out of business.

What do you do when your spouse wants to get you another guitar and you are discouraging it? Is there a "syndrome" for that?  :-\
