What are y'all up to?

Wow, that’s very interesting… I guess I would like to work in g**tr cnt*r, mostly to improve their in-store customer service/banjo setups.

Also Gunnar, why did you not try to steer her to banjo/mando/guitar/bluegrass? What kind of BBC member are you? :wink::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Thanks!

Ha! Well, she was specifically looking for an ukulele, and her price range didn’t include any of those instruments. Also, you forget where I was, I wouldn’t steer anyone towards one of their mandos or banjos

The important thing is to make sure you sell them the extended service plan!

Wow… you gonna do a brick and mortar store? Sweet!

BTW, Bentonville has some awesome mountain biking nearby. I could be talked into a trip.

Yeah!!! If I’m ever in the area I’ll be sure to stop in, but I don’t know if that’s gonna happen any time soon.

I actually did, in jest… :joy: but they hadn’t completed the money transfer yet so he was like nah

Awesome! Make a video?

I just found out about that via YouTube, apparently Walmart built all the trails

Yep, a brick and mortar and I’ll make a little video for the forum fam. We’re a ways out from official opening and announcement. We’re having to do a lot of remodeling, adding, cleaning. We’re excited, though! It should help us do more volume and serve folks better.

Awesome, safe travels @BanjoBen. If you forget anything I’m sure Bentonville has a walmart to grab a replacement.

It’s been a long weekend with robotics comp, playing in church and ski lessons, but I’m finally sitting down with my banjo and mandolin for a little. I just came up with an original tune, I’ll make a recording soon. It’s been way to long since I was at a jam, or even just picked bluegrass with my friends. I found out a model railroader I know plays banjo the other day.

New pup and I are getting along well. He seems to be a pretty quick learner. He even cuddles when he’s not stealing my spot!

Look at those ears! He looks like a bat, and I mean that only in the best way! Congrats!

One guy said a kangaroo, so bat isn’t bad!!
I’m in trouble if he grows into them!!
But don’t think he’ll get too much bigger, just a little filled out.
Occasionally missing my old guy, he was so sweet.
Suppose I need to update my photo now!!
