Nope, California State Fair. A good friend of mine was out doing production with Cavalia (China tour) and takes care of their horses that live here in the states. I have ridden with some of the Cavalia acts that were spun off, all ofvthem very good riders.
If I was in portland I would gladly take you up on your kind offer.
Yahoo! Can't take the diloted home with you, so better not jump too hard!
Great to hear it went well and is over!
Duke let me use them and figure it they would be right for me.. after getting them.. (he said that he would not send till after his move to TX) before he moved.. I figured that he was trying to get stock out of the way so that he would not have to move it.. I used them for a while.. till he got settled in TX.. I sent them back.. the single 12's were just not cutting it for me.. the field of dispersion on those cabs are too narrow for my liking.. when I was using them.. the place were practice was.. there was times I could move one foot and totally not hear the speakers at all! At the time I was using a Ampeg 7 PRO.. (I don't have it anymore either!) But I will give Duke one up on anyone else.. he will bend over backwards to help a person! He is one awesome dude in that dept from my experiences..
As for the Z3.. yeah.. the cabs fit right in there like a pearl in a clam.. oh oyster! Sorry I was thinking of one of my basses.. I don't have the Z3 anymore.. I have an X3.. I really like that vehicle..

Just went for my first walk, 436 feet, a complete circuit of the entire ward! 8 hours after my surgery. I was listening to the Rocky Balboa theme in my brain as I walked. The thing that hurt the most was my quad muscle. I was rewarded with a nice dose of Dilaudid. Probably the last one of that stuff.
My next theme will be "Boogaloo Down Broadway" !!

And if that ain't good enough.. this should help you with that stiff leg!
I've often wondered, do any of you here play gigs with the young folk as well as with other old farts?
Would that be grounds for disqualification from the club? If so, how much younger do the young'ns need to be to invoke a violation? 20 years? 40?
Just curious.
I usually have a young'n or two trying to bring them "up" in the gigging world at least the last 3 decades. Hardest part is getting them over the juke box thing.
When I lived in Atlanta I used to help out these guys and gals that were students at Rock 'N Blues Camp
I think they will keep me until Wednesday. They want me to be able to walk and climb stairs before release. At least the chow is good here.
Thanks all of you grumpy old flatulators as for your support and encouragement.
I just found out the REAL reason I am stuck here an extra day. (You're gonna love this one) Medicare requires two overnight stays in the hospital or they will not pay for my at home physical therapy. So even though I feel okay our tax dollars will have to pay for a totally unnecessary day in this I am sure very expensive specialist hospital. ***
At home care is a sore subject for me!! I got none, zip, nada!!. Surgery Wednesday. Kicked out on the following Monday and that was it!. I‘ve got a very good extended care plan but it was not used. I’m really, really grumpy cos of it. Dorothy and I felt completely abandoned! 
So how am I progressing - tomorrow is five weeks after surgery.
On my first walk I went further than anyone else has ever done. The staff called me their “Poster Child.”
I’m off Morphine and can again taste my food. A couple of doses of extra strength Tylenol gets me through each day. Sneezes, especially the really big kind, are basic agony. Feels like my chest is going to explode! No signs of angina so that’s a relief. Wounds are healing nicely though we did have leakage which, we were told, is normal. Nobody bothered to tell us what we were supposed to do if it did happen! My ribs are complaining a little less each day so doing stuff is getting easier.
They sent me home with a sheaf of prescriptions one of which is for rat poison - Warfarin. I remember my Dad buying the stuff when I was a kid to fix an influx of mice, country living!! I have to have a blood test every Monday to check the level.
I see my cardiologist tomorrow and I’m hoping I’ll be able to drive again.

Coumadin is the medical name for that rat poison! Have they done any tilt tests since you have been taking it?

Welcome back Bassman Paul! It will get easier, I am sure. My dad had 2 bypass surgeries 10 years apart, the first of those when he was 45... I am trying to take care of myself because of the genetic disposition... But anyway,having witnessed such speedy recoveries I am sure you'll do well.
PS: If anyone has been wondering... I am a bit disappointed as they didn't do the iron infusion on me, they pushed it off 2 months until the next checkup. And the doc said we will talk dialysis options then.
