Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Quit yer complainin’! Are we not Canadian? :)

My three best mates in the Crescent were out with a Snow Blower and shovels clearing driveways, including mine. They won’t let me lift a finger ‘cos of my stroke history.

Dorothy has contracted Eczema on her right ankle and it’s causing swelling on her face. The poor love looked as though someone had hit her in the right eye. She is not a happy camper. She was prescribed an Antibiotic which, naturally, she turned out to be allergic to. She is covered in little red lumps that bleed if you even look at them! I have been applying prescription creams like Cortisone to these and we are slowly making headway. We are hoping that on Tuesday we can meet friends at our favourite restaurant The Keg. Usually we visit twice a week but we haven’t for nearly a month now. :(
Yikes! Good luck with getting better. All both of you.

Eczema and allergies are bad news. Good health to Dorothy.

@GonePlaid What's the skinny on the ailing Gigmobile?

You get old and everything starts going down hill so fast, you need to be tied down by medical appointments to stay safe.
 
I think you rolled me, on a level I have yet to comprehend.
I scrolled to the bottom of the Marianas Trench expecting to either see @Fat Freddy 's avatar or to be Rickrolled.................but..nothing!? o_O :cautious:

Enlightement works like that, it's the @Fat Freddy you don't see down there .... :D
 
I learned to play this song awhile back (thanks to Essential Blues Bass Grooves book by Frank De Rose).

I happen to love Ray Charles.

Unfortunately, all I can think of is the scene of John Candy and Steve Martin in the movie Planes, Trains, and Automobiles.



But I know what comes after that scene :roflmao:

BTW Planes, Trains and Automobiles is not a funny movie. It is Truth.

Tell me about it. Two doctor's appointments on Monday, one on Thursday and one on Friday.
 
Saturday Reprise.

You Keep Me Hangin’ On — A rock song written for the Supremes. Recorded in the Motown snake pit over two days starting June 30, 1966. Over 53 years ago. A fantastic song that never sounds dated.

Some good background on the song:
Link Removed

How it came together. The music sounds so raw. Bass has a lot of distortion, guitar as well. It doesn’t come across that way in the mix, it gives it a sense of urgency.



It wouldn’t be right not to serve up some Fudge.

 
First aired 50 years ago.

Fifty.

Years.
