Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Jewelry matters.

Another short scale player that shines. But why does he have cigarette burns on the headstock.

I have a cousin that worked in a hospital. One of his jobs was taking dead people down to the morgue. He was also supposed to maintain them on a heart monitor for a certain period, just to be sure. He never had anyone come back.

An uncle was a plumber that serviced commercial refrigeration units. He was called to a funeral home to fix the cooler. They locked him in the fridge by wedging a casket up against the door. The people that work in that industry seem to have a morbid sense of humour.

The nurse told me that she almost freaked out, she had to control herself. I know.....mean.

You know those musicians, the bass is a gateway drug.

My brother sent me that video last week. I could only listen for a couple minutes, then had to go drape my bass in black crepe.

Great stuff and he even has the "Bass Face" down! Those aren't cigarette burns, that's where he cools his fingers .

Back in the late '60s, I was out plowing snow in a parking lot with my brother's Jeep. A guy stopped and asked if I could plow his lot when I finished, and then to come inside to get paid. I said 'OK'. So, I plowed his parking lot, and went in. Welp, it was a funeral home and as I was walking in, a recent stiff they were working on sat up in its casket (I guess that happens from time to time).

Let's just say that I beat feet and that guy got his lot plowed for free.

I don’t make faces like that. Maybe that’s my problem.

 

[GwenOnBass]

Kids like face places. So parents and grandparents learn to live with face places. It's like McDonald's like that.

There’s supposed to be a hint of wet snow with rain today. Saturday I was wearing shorts and no jacket. Tomorrow could be a winter coat. I’m not ready, I’ll take a little more fall.

Thursday's warm weather likely meant it was the last time this year I could take coffee under the trees. The increased radius of mobility with the boot made coffee and the salon appointment possible.

Learning the ins and outs of a medical boot is not one of these experiences that should be on anyone's curriculum vitae. And yet.

You use words and phrases that I’ve never heard of. Had to google “vitae”
Never too old to learn something new.
