    My summer hobby.

    Since it is summer and the weather here is already hot and humid, I won't be doing much detecting so I got my electric guitar out of the closet and put some new strings on it. Been practicing and hope I'm slowly getting a little better.
    At least I'll have something else to do besides be in front of the computer all day...................
