If the neighborhood kids irritate you...
If you find youself dwelling on the good old days...
If your phone conversations start with how you are getting on that day...
If you've acquired an appreciation for prune juice as a mixer..
If you still say, warm up the TV...
If you remember when tube amps were simply called amps...

You might just qualify.

My wife just won $1K at the casino. I was thrilled for about 15 seconds after she told me but then my GOF brain screamed: "Do you really think you are gonna see dollar one of that?!!"
Grrr...
I think my wife would just move up to the dollar slots o_O

Mayon volcano in Bicol is getting grumpy again. In the past it's thrown refrigerator sized boulders as far as Lagaspi. I hope the Bicolanos remain safe. I visited it twice when it was very active.
 
I am permitted to do light yard work now. I was attacking the weeds in our interlocking stone driveway, patio and walkways. Got the front done and started the back patio when the string spool broke apart! No one local has the replacement so I’ve had to order it via Amazon. Did I mention I dislike Amazon? Got screwed on a transaction and they were no help to resolve the issue.

On Saturday it’s our Street Party/Corn Roast. This is year 31. I get some of my musician friends to come over and have a glorious jam. I set up on my driveway which is why it needs to be weed free.

Weed free jams are not exactly the norm out here in Warshington these days. Hope you all have a blast in any case!
 
And speaking of Warshington, yesterday I played a big band gig at a community fair where one of the star attractions was the colon health walk-through display:

That's Mt. Adams in the background, a 12,000+ foot active volcano. If she blows there will be serious Passinwind.
 
That's awesome bro. PW! Did they let you play out of that giant 3D section of intestine?

Sir @BassmanPaul the Kind. Great to hear you are seeing improvement. If you can get some Roundup on that grass today, it might be dead before your gig. If it dies and dries up, it might not be safe to burn. Burning pesticides have nasty byproducts. Maybe get a tyke to pull out the dead grass. Not saying I've never burned Roundup laced dead grass ;)
