Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

I did a bunch of shows with Arlo, going back maybe 30 years. Also was part of the sound guy network that supported his son Abe's first tour with his band Xavier. Each venue handed the band off to the next venue by phone, checking in to let them know the band was safely on their way. Great to work with, and Arlo's a heck of a keyboard player too.
 
In all honestly I never fully understood the war in Vietnam because our leaders didn't have a strategy to win, or even a definition of winning IMO. However, the part that truly mystified me was why we literally abandoned the patriots who served when their country called and why we seemed so comfortable disrespecting the uniform and the flag during those times. I can see anger with government leadership that sent people off to a war that wasn't popular, but I can't see having anything but gratitude for those who proudly wore the cloth of our nation and earned better treatment than we gave them.
Let's not even get started on our Government leaders!!!!!! Let's talk basses and good music!

OK, I'm here. I know I am grumpy because I'm almost 70, wear glasses but still have a 40" monitor so I don't have to squint. I have hearing aids, but turn them off when I don't want to hear something.

My hair is falling out and growing back in all the wrong places.

Until recently, I thought you guys had mellowed and were not as grumpy as I am. But then, I had a run-in with two of your members yesterday and all that has changed.

I think I qualify to be a member. Do I need a sponsor? Do I just make my number up? Do you offer any courses on how to be grumpier? :woot::cool::roflmao:.
 
That explains the skid mark on my iPad...

Which has been turned off - must have been a powerful Burrito.

Ah...so nice! I get my burritos from a converted muffler shop down the street. That feels like completing the cycle, or sumthin'.
