a few years ago kayaking, immediately after i got out of the water and had my boat out, someone was trying to launch a jetski from a trailer connected to a ford ranger. from what i could gather, the ranger was a manual, and whoever was driving wasn't very proficient at driving stick. they didn't sink the truck, but they came awfully close.
Boat ramps provide endless entertainment around here.
One of my favorites was a guy launching his Formula speed-dildo but forgetting to unhook the trailer winch cable.
Applied way too much throttle backing away and ripped a huge chunk of his bow off.

I used to live near a boat ramp that had both good ol' boys fishing and doctors taking out their new boats. Almost on a daily basis, some rich asshole would tie up a ramp for 90 minutes because he had no idea what he was doing. Them good ol' boys would try to help him, but he always had the fanciest boat so he thought those shitkickers needed to shut the fuck up. I have seen; brand fucking new boats up on the oyster beds (twice! brand new!), vehicles halfway into the saltwater and one asshole managed to get his foot run over. But the best one was was the surgeon in his 60s SCREAMING at his 30 yo girlfriend to put the drain plug into the boat after he had dropped the boat into the water and her having a panic attack while the boat slowly sunk 30 feet from the shore. FYI the water comes out of the hole like a firehose if you don't put the drain plug in.

I gotta admit this story if VERY satisfying, in a very schadenfreude-esque way. :D

This isn't playing badly.
Sweet setup. What kind of speaker is that? Is the Kemper easy to use?
I have a LTD MH-417 string I picked up last year to try out, it's fun to be able to play different stuff.

Please explain the 7 strings. Is it 2 guitars? Do the top 6 strings represent a different sound or tonality as compared to the Bottom six? Other then obvious physical differences. I cannot play to qualify.
A 7 string guitar is basically a 6 string, but with one additional lower string and usually a slightly longer scale. So in standard tuning the lowest string is on a 7 string is B, then E, where as a 6 string the lowest string is E.

Thank you for your kind words and for answering Jim's question. The speaker is a Celestion f12x200 frfr driver in a diy built ported cabinet that I loosely based on their reference design. I built it for the Kemper which I love - sounds great, is super versatile, and gives you the option to get high end amps' sound for a fraction of their cost.

The e-ii is great, just bought it on Reverb, the best playing guitar I've ever tried. The mh417 looks kick ass too, congrats!

You don't need a plug if you are going flat out.
