Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

Getting back to that earlier crucial discussion on TSO in music, is the TSO-enough?

:: looks around ::
you wouldn't be referring to a five string single cut as a TSO?

I'm thinking a ...Telecaster Shaped Object.

 

[GwenOnBass]

A single cut bass could be seen as a TSO if you squint hard enough?

Dirt? Snow? "This does not compute". The lightning sure does, though.

Dirt:
What the everglades is made of beside water.
Snow:
It comes in little packets (and bricks) in the Miami area.

At least it's not 16, going on 17, months.

PGF: Pyramid Gold Flats

I expect the La Bella flats to be still kicking long after my ashes have been strewn hither and yon.

 

[Charlie Tango]

Really? How many girls can you get on that bass without breaking the neck?

Why, I oughta...

Good one.

Along the roads and sidewalks they spread small crushed stones, road salt when the plough. Couple that with carbon soot. They banned fire places which helps but emissions from chimneys, vehicles, and pollution are still there. On a dry day, traffic kicks up a lot of this road dust that you can see in the air. It isn't good to breath as it irritates the nasals. Micro bugs can be in the particles and make you sick. Some days I wear a mask outside by heavily used roads. The city does send street sweeping and vacuum machines out to clean the roads and sidewalks but it literally takes till summer to clean it all up. They usually have to repaint all the lines on the roads each year. In the spring they can be worn off in some places with makes driving harder.

Anyway, a good rain over several days can go a long way to deal with the small crushed stones and dust. The timing is perfect they year. Most of the snow and ice has melted with it's help.

Well Carey and yours truly were on the porch prepping our cardboard for delivery to the recycling center. We have a good sized covered deck with our doorway to the deck and the stairs have that sandpaper like roofing material on it to prevent slipping. Right at the end of the deck as I was attempting to step down, my toe caught the roofing material and I fell face forward down 4 stairs. I used my hands to break my fall but still landed on my chest and abdomen on the stairs and my left ribs on the stair rails. I was knocked out momentarily but came to quickly.

Carey wanted to call 911 and have me brought to the hospital but I refused. I turned around and crawled on elbows and knees up the stairs. I crawled through the door to my recliner. Carey brought over two hand towels and placed them under my arms on my chair. I then noticed I was bleeding at both elbows. For four days Carey nursed me because I couldn't move. By Wednesday Carey had me walking short distances. I walked better on Thursday but am still getting upset stomach and a bit of nausea. I went to work today and made it pretty good, but by 4:00 I had to go home. I just made it in the door and fell into my chair. My plans for the weekend: nothing. Rest and Carey will continue to care for me. This has given me a valuable lesson-- when you have good health--which I do-- never take it for granted. I know I never will again, when I mend up.

I use them. Especially good on a Ric 12 string if you want to sound like the Beatles.

Oh. And don't do that again.

Wow! I can't/won't like that! Get better real soon! And take it easy. I find myself planning my moves and steps more these days. You do the same!

Get better soon.

You see, falling down happens when you're older. I did it three time this winter. Falling forward like that you might have cracked some ribs. Also possibility of concussion even if you didn't land on your face. Clamping down on your teeth because of the pain can cause swelling in the ears and some dizziness. Internal trauma can cause nausea.
