Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

My Mom picked up some audio books for the road trip, "running with scissors", and a statutory rape mystery... I hope to god she just didn't read the descriptions too hard. Idk why she'd choose such sexually charged molesty material for a Christmas journey. Good thing I got noise canceling headphones to avoid the trauma.

Don't you just love it when this happens?
 
Damn... if I had 1k sitting around Id pay you to go buy that and drive through MO on your way back.

BUUUUTTT, I don't. Ill just have to flip the 2000s on and rage for a while today. Been pretty pumped to practice my plucking speed and endurance all night. I found out yesterday that I can in fact play Snakes for the Divine with my fingers. I just gotta build up the stamina.

I would be on that like white on rice. I would find the money to be on that. I am certain you could at the very least flip the head for more than a grand and keep the cab. Either way, its a killer deal.

Finances don't permit, also if it didn't flip in North Carolina. I'd have to leave mom and dad behind to fit it in dad's Prius... Too bad no doom people live out that way. I guess Jmac or eyeball are the closest.
 
So backlash from your Pop's over helping support your Mom?
Totally get what you mean when you want to just "pay off" your stresses. I have the same thought sometimes.

In a nutshell:

Dad: We haven't heard much from you recently, are you going to be available through the holidays?
Me: I have to work every night except the 24th, 25th, and first.
Dad: Well your step mom's kids are busy with their family on those dates, so we are having xmas on another night.
Me: I have to work so I wont be able to come.
Dad: Oh, ok. Let us know when you have time then.
Me: I work every night until 11 or 12.
Dad: Sorry to hear that, we're here when you become available. You know you wouldnt have to work so much if you had a better job.
Me: Thanks for the tip.
Dad: Since you are working so much, it would be appropriate for you to buy something nice for your step mom and all your siblings.
Me: I really wish I could, but I have other financial draws, and despite working so much, I am broke.
Dad: Well that is disappointing to hear. Guess it is a good thing your working through x mas.
