Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[spankdaplank]

Hooray for good doctors and nurses. Good to have you back.
In two hours there will be 3 generations of musicians here in this room ready to get down. Bob,67; me,66; Glenn,65; Brian,49; Joy,15 years old. And we are going to rock and funk the paint off the walls.
I will try to get some pictures of this motley bunch. To be continued...

Well it took me a day and half, but I got it done, putting in a garage door opener by myself.. I had to makeshift a second pair of hands at times to get things mounted.. but it is in now and working perfectly! Last night, I was one grumpy old dude.. Now, I am ear to ear!

Wouldn't it be handy if we all had a third hand available...?

 

[99Z3]

So we could scratch something while we play?

Wouldn't it be handy if we all had a third hand available...?

And switching off could cause a heck of a train wreck!

Wouldn't it be handy if we all had a third hand available...?

 

[99Z3]

But be told all, there are times that it would be nice if we had a way to handle those third hand needs a lil better, but then, we wouldn't have a challenge then would we?

Welcome back ya old fart! Now I expect there will be some chasing of the wife around the house! Ha ha ha!

I can say with certainty that my Dorothy does not look like Flo!!

 

[99Z3]

Paul.. did you have a momentary lapse of old age.. I have seen a lot of younger whipper snappers try to practice the same thing, are you trying to show them how it is done?

 

[BadExample]

I think Sir Paul is likin' it!

Not until two flights of stairs!

I like my apples in my wife's homemade pie!

I used to joke in the Army signal corps that to operate the radios we had you needed three hands and an eye in the knee.

Okay, we got the band together yesterday. Lots of hugs, a few tears and big fun. A little reminiscing, talked about the friends and fellow players that have passed. Way too many. And then we got to it. Some jamming, then "the Artist" (my 15 year old singer/songwriter daughter) arrived. The jam became a studio session as we worked on her latest tunes. All of this was a first for us together.
I realized we no longer had to over play, we all just dug into the groove. And the Artist stepped up and made her daddy proud. My son combat vet, police officer, and kickass drummer is the younger good look king guy.

Looks and sounds like a great time!

Precious moments. Thank you for sharing.

Today I find out if and when I get a knee replacement. I keep on having visions of the introduction to the old TV series, Bionic Man.

Great pics. Brought a smile to my face. And once I figured out what your shirt says a good laugh! Thanks for posting.

Better get both done or you will run in circles!

 

[spankdaplank]

Actually, I'm getting all three done...
