Gosh, RR, I hope you scored an ocean view!

And thank you for your service to our great country! Much appreciated.

I've done a few years worth of time in the desert, 6 months at sea would be an experience.

And thank you, N420, for your service as well. We should be grateful to all our vets who served, particularly if they love combo bass amps!

Oh, that Barney! I had to google it because I thought you were referring to some "British" term that I wasn't familiar with .

It is British. It's rhyming slang for a fight or argument. Barney Rubble, trouble. To make the slang even, we leave off the rhyming bit. Have you ever heard of money being called bread? It's 'bread and honey'. Pop goes the weasel? A weasel and stoat is a coat.

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.

Well our children were remote (our choice) all year but our 5th grade daughter couldn't deal with it. So we made plans to switch her back to in school and a couple of weeks before her friend in the class she was going into caught it in school! The classroom aid screwed up had three kids share a computer for an hour. I don't know what she was thinking! But that was the only known case of in school transmission that year (at least in our town). Fortunately her friend was fine and no one else in her family even caught it.

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.

What about "snug as a bug in a rug"?

3500? Jeez! We had 6500 on my second 'cruise' ship: USS Enterprise CVA(N)65. Not 1701-D

FL occasionally gets some of us mixed up. For example, he keeps trying to give the Kasino to G-Dog. No BFD.
AFA my service time, it was my honor to do my little part.

It’s the Bugs I’d worry about...

Yes, but you also had the ability to bomb people into submission. What can Carnival Cruises do other then give you dysentery?

Edit: a beautiful ship, BTW. Majestic.

Yes, I’m losing my mind.

No, I really do want to give the Kasino to the Dog!

Yes. it WAS. (sigh)

I doubt the Dog's back would like it very much. Remember, the next time it goes outta the house will be either(A) when I get a decent camera/phone to shoot a new garage door/group amp shot, or(2) when I move/croak.

So I went a'googling just for S&G. Didja know that nobody makes a reasonably priced, relatively light(say, 35 pounds +/-), 2x12/8 ohm bass cab?

Like this one? ... reasonably priced price being relative.

Nice. Weight's good, X version interesting(they could delete the tweeter-for me). Unfortunately, I have more like a Rumble budget.

Yes, looks like anything with 2 -12's is going to be heavy...big jump from 2 -10's both in weight and price...weird!
