Title: I have a super power!
Post by: jimilee on April 13, 2016, 11:45:24 PM
I heard the ups truck today from about 50 yards out and from behind me. Without even looking I could tell it was the ups truck.

The real question though is - was it bringing anything for you?  Most ideally a new guitar?

I thought this was going to be another one of your new guitar day post.;)

I thought for sure it was a new tayda code.

Nope, no new guitar, I wasn't even at home. The next guitar I want is a gold top les paul, and in sure it will be a while. I would like that new acoustic I went to buy in February though.

SUPERNATURAL UPS RADAR DISCOVERED IN HUMAN!
EXTRA LOBE FOUND IN JIMI'S BRAIN!

I'm with you on the Les Paul Jimi. I don't own a Gibson. Can't afford a Gibson..hmm

Are you looking at an Epiphone or a Gibby?

Dude, with all the guitars and Tayda orders you've been receiving it's just conditioning.  The electronic equivalent to the Pavlov response.  As an example my dog can hear the last bite of my breakfast english muffin with peanut butter placed gently in his bowl from the other side of the house.  Drive and desire :-)

I can hear my friend's car from like three blocks away. Like, I know he's around the corner several seconds before I can actually identify a sound that would belong to a car at all.

My dog has that super power also. I know when the FEDEX or UPS truck is coming for 50 yards away. No other truck, school bus, etc..... Just UPS/FEDEX.  She starts going nuts. She's a big Weimaraner and it drives me bonkers because she has super barking power and she's an inside dog.

And Oh Jimmy I have that same desire for that Les Paul Gold Top. A fine looking instrument.

I can also hear it when the delivery guy approaches. I usually hear it by the sound of a ringing bell close to my front door. ;)

And the 10,000 hrs makes you an expert thing ... you know, with all those guitar and Tayda deliveries you've been getting.  8)

I was hoping it had something to do with phasers.  ;D

If you start salivating and drooling when the truck gets near then you have been assimilated.

Heh, in this country it's always the courier van (an older Japanese model, painted in that company's livery. I've never seen a courier in a non-Japanese van.)

I normally get stuff delivered to Dad these days, since he's retired and can sign for everything, so I get a txt at work on my cellphone, "Parcel here for you."
