Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[GonePlaid]

I've lately been working most evenings on a yard improvement project. Were I a professional landscape person, I woulda had all the materials beforehand and knocked it out in a half day. I'm not, I didn't, and there's still more to do. After sweating my @$$ off each evening, when it gets slightly cooler in SE FL, I treat myself to a beer and/or something stronger to the point of becoming semi-sozzled. I'm workin' on it.

I do my yard work the same way…baby steps…

I hope they found it worth it.

For those who have been dealing with heat waves, it’s about to get cooler - MUCH cooler. As in Heck froze over cooler. Earlier tonight the Bengals opened up the preseason by beating the defending Super Bowl champs on the road. I advise everyone to be ready to don Arctic apparel.

The story goes that some college kids found them out.

That's why bass can be easier! Some bassists (the open E soloists) only need one line.

Just a quick mention of some sad news...I read this morning that Nanci Griffith died a couple days ago. She was probably not well known outside of folk music circles, but IMO is someone who made a positive difference in the lives of those who knew her and her music.

I think that it’s against the law of bass to put a sticker on your instrument.

Personally, I prefer no stickers on my bass, but Duck Duck liked them...

BTW, the crooked sticker kinda bothers me....

not so crooked while playing

Bruce Robb of Cherokee Studios (famous facility) tells a story about asking Ducky about his bass and wanting to buy one for the studio. So the two of them go to Guitar Center in LA, and Ducky plays twenty PBasses in the store till he finds just the right one.

He picked this one. The studio never bought another bass.

The ones with the skins on them, cooked twice in fresh peanut oil, taste very good. Some add a little lard to the oil to boost the flavor.

The basses with skins on them play better when fried in lard too.

The wife has been using duck fat to crisp things up lately. Did not think that I would like it because I am not a duck fan. It's great for potato things.
