Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Happy birthday. Hold on tight, the down hill ride only gets faster and faster.
Yup. Keep this close to remind me!

So much good conversation in this thread lately...

WHAT??? You said "nano". That mixer is big-time and 12" cabs for mixing. Now, I don't know what to call mine:

Ummm I lied. I have both powered 12's and powered 8's. I'm using two powered 8's. I save the 12's for small gigs. Yours looks nicer than mine!

All fingers and toes accounted for, all limbs in proper order and all the squishy bits in the middle working more or less as expected. That's good 'cause I've forgotten if I filled out the warranty when I signed on for this ride. Wonder if my Emerald Club perks expired?

:roflmao:

Got my broken tooth fixed this afternoon, now watching the Women's British Open, plan to watch it tomorrow and Sunday, too. Bass playing at some point, too.

Will, take care of yourself. Even the possibility of Covid scares me witless.

Thank you @Charlie Tango sir. Wilco.
 
dang, I feel like a baby in this group of grumpy old farts! weekend off to a great start. sold my upright bass and ordered mesa tt800 and 2x12 cab. today. head will be here tomorrow yippee

Mesa makes some excellent kit. I have an 800+ for my living room rig. Overkill, but it's also backup in case my Reeves goes down...

Much appreciate the heads-up. I've got some eyeball glue handy so I can put mine back in after I see the pics.
 
On another topic, my heart goes out to those here in California who are affected by the fires.

It's not only the virus, it's the devastating fires that have killed many and forced others from their homes and those who have lost their homes.

We are living in some strange times. I am hoping for some return to normalcy but do not see anything close to that coming for some time. I pray that all this will end soon.

Amen, brother. I see the reporting on the fires every day in the papers, but with everything else that's been going on for almost four years now, plus the pandemic that never quite leaves one's mind, I forget about that horrible situation too easily.
 
We got record wildfires in Cali. Record heat all over the desert SW. Record hurricane season shaping up in the Atlantic. Last week's derecho here clicked 140 mph, equal to a Cat 4 hurricane...zero warning, ran from Des Moines to Chicago. We have a very unsettling election happening here in the US, plus the heaviest outbreak of civil unrest in 50 years. We have the worst pandemic of the past century, and no resolution in sight.

I worry for us all, I really do.
 
Everything accounted for, over here. Been working on getting the SO's Roland EP-9 back working again; right now its in a thousand pieces all over the basement. May do the "drive-through" Greek Festival this weekend. This afternoon I took our ancient Junghans mantel clock to a guy to see about getting it CLA'd and whatever it needs to make the Westminster chimes work properly, again.
Same here, except our rhythm guitarist (who refused to get an amp of his own, thus mooching off anybody he could) was our lead singer, too.
Most of the guys in the band I was in with him were "lead" singers, and they actually were all quite good, sad to say. :laugh:
Of course I was absolutely brilliant as a 17-year-old... ;)
You, too, eh? :thumbsup:

IDK, if I remember correctly, I was taught a few things by some teenage girls. Some more "worldly" than myself...but those are stories for another time.
Those were fun times, indeed, for me. :)






I have a Beatles birthday coming up in a few weeks. Wish me luck!:roflmao:
