Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[GonePlaid]

oh wow

This reminds me, I did a one-nighter backing "The Coasters"(or one version of them)in 84. I was on keys and sax. King Curtis' legacy was safe(lol). Lotta fun, great bunch of guys. Rehearsal was....uh, er,...interesting...and 'smoky'.

Yep, I need to learn to take better care of myself. Woke up this morning (not a blues song) and remembered that I also took a nasty fall, since almost every part of my body is in pain right now. The foot isn't the least of these pains, but is one of many. Then, to add insult to injury, I lost at Scrabble last night because my letter rack looked like this for most of the time: iiiiuooe . I'm not bad at Scrabble and I almost always win but yesterday was not my day in so many ways.

Going to call the Kaiser behemoth to see what they can do about this foot thingy. Also got clients to visit all day which cannot be cancelled. I think I may not make it another year before retiring.

You have my sympathies and wishes for a minimal diagnosis and speedy recovery.

Wool keeps you warm even when wet. Lesson learned in early school days. Nothing like a dunk in a stream of freshly melted snow to get your attention for the rest of the day. For the record, I absolutely hate dunks in icy water. (And recalling a very nice pair of suede boots that paid a price.)

Booo.

Nice!

His 5-string design is clever, with a wraparound on the back of the body to facilitate using regular B strings.

BTST, on occasion (not the Irish one, the US one).

Look hard enough and you can see Friday from here

I received my new cheapo bass from Music123 today. It was only 329USD and they shipped UPS 2nd day air. Found out I bought the last tobacco burst lefty! I have the black version already and am really loving these new SBMM basses that Ernie Ball just released. I felt it was very fitting that I string them up with Ernie Ball Extra slinky's!

Here's a stock picture from Music123. I'll post the pic from my office where I have it for now.

Very nice, Will. 3TSB looks good on a SR.

Mine was similar, but with a 3-band EQ and a rosewood fingerboard, not to mention backwards compared to yours.

But it does look more like your from the back.

From the back, Afghan Hounds can be mistaken for things that they aren't.

I hope your medical visits turn out well.

Thank you for reading my post @LBS-bass .

You're welcome. Sore hands and sore feet and sore bodies make us all earn the G in GOF, but at least we can commiserate together.

Had my X-ray so should know something soon enough. I'll be happy to just have a better idea how much I need to baby this thing. If it's not broken, I will no longer fear the brake pedal.

Maybe why some order a scotch and threat. No water, no ice.

Most single girls live like this, pretty sure.

You mean they turn the TV off when the band are playing???.........

All else stops when the rugby match is on. Hey guess what I did today.

Looks like ad one would find in an old Playboy (not that I've ever looked through one).
