Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Status
Not open for further replies.
I too would like to extend my best wishes for Christmas to all our Old Fart friends.

In my back yard, the Sun is shining brightly and my Weather Station tells me it's 14.8C. Well we can only blame ourselves. We've been hearing about "Global Warming" for decades and have done basically nothing to fix the problem. I only hope it's not too late to repair. :(
 
Patchy sun 52 degrees F, 11 C calm breeze so far. A nice day in the desert overall.

I will still profess to be a grumpy old fart while fully closing a car door for an older couple that didn't latch it before taking off in their car, close the trunk for someone who left it open by mistake, stick a quarter in the vending machine for that parent that has that look of pain because they don't have it to indulge their child, well you get the idea. It's what we do in this world that matters.

Hey we all got Christmas trees from TalkBass :)

At the risk of tooting my own (rusty and dented) horn, I am signing my first record contract at age 66 after trying for over 50 years. And yes, it is legit. I have actually gotten paid already.
Persistence, persistence, persistence. Oh yeah....and don't die first.

Congrats man! Remember the money can go way too fast, so enjoy the ride more than the cash!
 
I'm sure not in it for the money and luckily I don't need it right now, but at least getting a little green stuff makes it legit in my mind. From what I understand, there are a bunch of "pay to play" scams all over the place. I'm glad I missed most of that in my playing out career.
 
I think I just found our t-shirt/hoodie. Just need to change the "guitarist" to bassist.
