Your Ibby looks real nice, '68. I'm a sucker for seafoam green. It makes me think of summer and mint chip ice cream or someone's bathroom tiles back in the 60s! Seriously, I'm a fan of that vibe.
When we bought our house, the bathroom had mint green plastic tiles glued to the walls. It would have been OK, but the glue was failing, and the missing ones were starting to really make the place look trashy.
 
Now that the restrictions are lightening up and I have had the first vax dose, I'm feeling like a road trip...
:smug:

By cracky
old people say that, I think

yeah I have my road trip in the works right now. Chicago. Air travel booked, hotel to be booked. Gone two nights for this amazing and important day.
 
Speaking of road trips...
Wifey and I booked a cruise to Hawaii to celebrate our 25th. Needless to say, thanks to covid, it got cancelled. We've rebooked twice now and it looks like our currently planned cruise will be one of the first as the cruise companies start back up. November can't get here fast enough.

On a somewhat related note, after well over 30 years with the USPS, it looks like I'll be retiring within the next few months to go live with my grandkids in Maine. In exchange for live-in child care, we get a free place to live. Life's gonna get a whole lot better this year...

It will be a very long time before I consider going on a cruise...wonder why?
 
Umm, because you don't like cruises? That's my reason. Someone else can have my bunk.
:D
I took 2 cruises in 66 and 67. Each was 6 months long. Here's a coupla pics of the boats.

Somewhere in the Midwest, a lonely little Vox VX50BA is wending its way to a new home in southern Idaho.

I’m excitedly waiting, and I think it will easily outclass the Peavey Max 110 I currently play through.

It will, Recon, especially if your Max is one of the older, low-powered ones. Lots more vintage vibe to it than the Peavey as well. Keep us posted, please.
 
Once you get the vaccine your anxiety begins to decrease rapidly. I’m a teacher and now that I’m fully vaccinated I feel much more comfortable working closely with the students.

Amen. Though we just had a sixth grade student come down with C-19 last week. Almost unheard of by a student in the lower grades.

Mr. Bigs, you old rascal, congratulations! That’s great news. And don’t worry, there should be enough electricity in Maine to power your GK for those impromptu jams you’ll most likely be having.

That’s a very creative way for family to take care of each other. And what a beautiful place to move to and live. Fantastic!

Here here. They look like fun while sitting in my recliner, but the idea of sharing a vacation with 3,500 of my closest earthlings just doesn’t sound like a good time, especially when the toilets back up!

For those who love though, it’s all yours.
