Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Good thing that you caught it.

A doctor should be asking for a list of all medication before they prescribe something additional. Computer programs that pharmacists and doctors use should highlight any potential interactions.
You'd think. The pharmacist where my 'bitter half' gets her Rx double checks if she is prescribed something new. He's caught a coupla of potential problems.

In my case, they all share the same programs and messaging (GP, Specialists, Pharmacy).
 
When a new drug is released, the databases that pharmacists use to look for drug interactions may not be updated for some time. That's scary.

Some drugs are approved, prescribed, and then removed from the market due to adverse reactions that are reported, reactions such as death. Other times when there are known drug-drug interactions, they still allow the combinations but TRY to manage it. Again, very scary.

Yes, kind of makes one feel like a guinea pig (lab rat)!
 
I want to share with my fellow GOF's. TT800 boogie channel and a 61 P bass with flats. I just couldn't be any happier!
When Andy first started designing that head I told him that I really didn't expect it would be for me. When we started working on the owner's manual I told him again that it seemed to be a cool head, but wasn't sure it was going to be all that appealing to me. Fast forward to Prototype 002 arriving at my door and I told Andy I would describe it as totally addicting from the very first note I played.

It's a remarkable head (both channels) and so easy to get a great tone out of. When I had it out on it's first gig (a few weeks before production models were available) I couldn't believe how inspiring it was to play. Paired with one of Duke's C112T cabs it was probably the most I have liked my stage sound in years. Other musicians noticed as well and none of them knew ahead of time that I had a different head.

It really is that good. Andy knocked it out of the park again!

Sometimes I think I prefer the posts regarding @Al Kraft and @agedhorse . Getting back to basses and amps ;).
Hasn't been a lot to say 'bout basses/amps other than "there they sit gathering dust". In theory we have a gig 9/18 at the Ft. Pierce American Legion Friday Night Fish Fry. I fully expect us to get hosed with another shutdown. We'll see. Film at 11.

Hopefully you'll get a chance to play...safely of course. :)
 
Here in Real Life ™ (thanks for the ™ loan, will gladly repay you on Tuesday) when sitting on my thumbs with little apparent movement toward even modest musical gatherings, there is

the 6 am 2.5 hour conference call. Then there is another conference call this evening. There's amps and strings and all what have you .... and
