No Brian, that was not the new guitar. The one I brought to CMCC is an Ibanez. The smoked one was a Washburn.
I have five new skylights, compliments of the LAFD. Only one is even in the room where the fire was.

Mark, I am the new Trail Crew guy with the white 85 Xtra-Cab down 2 blocks on Tribune from you in G.H., if I can help you in any way, just ask.
WOW.
I just saw this. I am very, very sorry for the loss Mark. I hope the folks in your area can assist you in getting things rolling again.
I'm putting a few rum and cokes down for you.

You're all heart....no, ...
You're all liver! Haha!
A big rolloff dumpster should be here shortly, and an old friend will help me clear out the bulk of the remaining debris. Then it will be safe enough to think about having help.
Sad...good luck to you Mark.

So now the red tape starts.
When my dad bought this building, I was 19 years old. After having proven my construction skills on other people's stuff for three years, he was willing to turn me loose on the warehouse. I built my second bathroom from scratch here, my first drop ceiling, first wielded a sawzall here to put in a doorway, etc.
When I brought that same sawzall back in on Monday to start squaring up the holes in the roof, it was a bittersweet homecoming. I spent the next 19 years of my life fixing and building things here for my dad. It was one of the ways we bonded, and one of the ways I proved myself as a son.
I have responded to this tragedy as tho my dad were still here. He would have just said 'fix it.' So, I just went into fix it mode. Now the insurance company says wait.

Maybe I can get a few bucks from Overland Journal for a 'survivor' shot:
Almost got to the bike.
