Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Not open for further replies.
There is dinner being served up here by a drummer who has temporarily taken up lodging in my spare room. It would have to be a drummer, right? Fortunately this is a drummer who is a foodie, so that goes a long way toward making it all ok.
A gourmet drummer than can actually drum wouldn't be so bad.....

If I'm wrong....You know what to do.....:cautious:
 
Odin just reminded me how all standard poodles enjoy oil cured olives, and feta, and especially enjoy pâté on toast points.

My surgeon was not aware I am able to play bass seated. Also assured her I'm able to tap my left foot. So now I'm putting another foot forward.

And of course - @Fat Freddy - there is dessert. :smug: We are not uncivilized.
By definition, "Pudding" would be more correct.....:laugh:;)
 
The doctor I saw today said she never heard When I'm 64. The surgeon I saw Monday and I agreed to a February 26 date for the procedure. And greatly relieved to know there is no stay for rehab. I will be of reduced mobility for 6 weeks plus.
The "no stay" is good; the 6 weeks, not so much.
 
Even with his car's starter out of commission from the same surgical procedure, Mr. Slate would still make Fred Flintstone come in for work. Fred just wouldn't be so athletic sliding down his brontosaurus at the 5 o'clock whistle.

And do we know anyone who really gets off at 5? Do I really want my great life's regret to wish I'd worked more hours? :help:



My word, that's exactly it.

Yes it is a ritual to play a record properly. There were even "gentler" aftermarket record sleeves to replace the paper sleeves. Very annoying to have a record with a missing inner paper sleeve. IIRC some of the inner sleeves had artwork.

One bookmark I have points me to a jeweler who makes searrings of 45 rpm record inserts in sterling. At about $75, last I looked, not at the top of my list but still on my list.
Sounds like a birthday present to yourself. Many happy returns.
 
Tea and biscuits

... but had to get dessert in because there one s is the place with no water and two s = strawberry shortcake
My mother would ask my father what he would like for dessert. He'd always answer"olive shortcake". That got old, so she made it for him. He ate every bite-and never mentioned it again. I'll toast with a stout now and a wee dram of Jameson's(Stout edition) before bedtime.
 
^ and very much reminded of a night at a friendly lemonade stand [long ago]. The gentleman I was with told the manager - speaking as my legal representative - I need a bologna and whipped cream sandwich. The manager cut a deal; if we showed up for breakfast, they'd have one ready.
 
I raise a glass of my favorite Piesporter to your birthday and wish you many happy returns.:thumbsup:



Oh yeah , I usually get off work around 1 PM. :p

I can see 65 from here :eek:

I learned about this very cool band earlier this evening, from a friend of mine who I would have thought this kind of music would be the last thing he'd listen to.

Been watching/listening to a bunch of their music.







Thrash surf?
 
My usual gambit with airline personnel sounds a great deal like what would you do if you were me?

I trust my Reunion Blues Continental Voyager gig bag more than I ever trusted the original HSC. And let that HSC go a few years back.

Carried the bass in the gig bag on board and there was plenty of room in the overhead storage bin. Even asked the head FA if she wanted me to hang the bass in the coat closet and she waved me by.
