Is it Christmas already?...

For some, it’s all year ‘round. A positive attitude and healthy outlook on life improves your chances that Santa leaves you a little gift each morning.

At our age, waking up with little pain is a gift!

Well, I have a little gift of pain each morning. Guess I need a more positive attitude and healthy outlook. Either that, or Santa is a farce...!

#2 and I have determined that our good health will be the difference between a happy retirement and one of just surviving.

Plus, ya still gotta believe in ole Santy Clays, SR. GP runs downstairs every Christmas morning looking to see if the Fat Guy left him that Kasino ext cab he’s wanted since the 70s.

One of these years...

1 step. It's a one story house(not a ranch).

Dang, ya outsmarted me again! I cannot get up early enough to put one over you, GP. Well, that and the fact you're in the Eastern time zone and you're always up before me...

Speaking of your hacienda, how are you prep-wise for the upcoming storm? Are you in any danger, and if so, can you will me the Peavey combo? Ya know, for a friend. Seriously, just wondering if you're ready to ride out this bitty storm? Be safe, my friend, and to all in harm's way.

This side of the state will get a little more rain(nothing new)and some wind. A slight inconvenience to a native Floridian.

Only one story? I bet that house has several stories to tell ....

Beautiful picture! Is that from your porch ?
Or have you also been up there madame?

 

[BrusselsBass]

At the time of determination, myself included, definitely a YES.


- Intelligence => At the time of determination, myself included, definitely a NO.
- Takeout => The take away Chinese does not answer my calls, but keeping in mind that all the abductions of entire herds of cattle must lead somewhere,... definitely MAYBE

Did you wear the club pin up there ??
How did they react ?

FL - we may need to create a new COMBO-HERO-PIN for our Mars returnees

FL - we may need to create a new COMBO-HERO-PIN for our Mars returnees

Oh, I like that idea, BB. It's good for morale to give pins, hats, and cup holders when you're celebrating a great accomplishment. I'll send a memo to our resident artist and jewelry creator, G'Dog to maybe whip us up something for him and the other astronauts. Plus, I haven't had any new bobbles of late that affirm my pomposity. I'll clear his schedule so he can begin work on those ideas. Thanks, BrusselsBass!

Hero pins!?! Vhy, da, off course! Iss grrreat idea! But, I get the feeling that Mr. Ambassador might maybe haf sumsink in mind vhen he says dat! Iff not him poisonally, den maybe hiss staff iss havink ideas?? Or, even, as a matter off Goodvill, he could open Hero pin design as contest for loyal CC members, yes?

I amm alvays gettink suggestions to add diss, add dat, change diss, and so on, to our CCCommunicatorPins, or CCCP for short. But I don’t like to show favoritism, or nepotism, or vhatever -ism iss it, by taking anyone's ideas. Iss more transparent and open iff another off FL's dignitaries suggest, or select, next Club jewelry design, no?

By my sides, I amm puttink finishing touches on miniaturization off quantum-state-powered "features" to be embedded in next Most Special Fearless Leader Award! Heh, heh, heh ... ...

A simple design would do for "Space-Combo-Players-In-Training" maybe some satellite moons around the beloved "CC" emblem
I also love the Combo-Club-spaceCadet-Program" idea - short CCCP love it

 

[GwenOnBass]

A Combo Club refrigerator magnet will stick to the speaker grill of my combo

Off course, the design is up to you, Mr. Ambassador. But, I vouldn't vant to even hint at associatink vith any national governmental agencies. And I'd recommend nothink too wordy. Like you say iss best, simple design. Here iss one suggestion I keep getting from most venerable CC member, who shall remain nameless (as iff you can't guess). Hoo boy!

Even though I’m pretty much clueless to the conversation of the past few posts, I really liked (and still do) the loving cup from a year or two ago. Very classy.

But if we’re going with the astronomical theme, which I approve of, let’s do something no one else has (and no copyright infringement) out there.

I don’t want to dump this on Boris Badenov, aka G’Dog, so let’s all pitch in and help. Ideas anyone? I’m boring for something diamond-encrusted that’s platinum-based. Of course, the CC logo has to be in there somewhere.

How about a revision of the classic new members’ ring with the added adornments I mentioned? Let’s go big in ‘21!

Thoughts?

As an engineering teacher it’s best if I’m not allowed to do art but how about something that uses a combination lock as part of imagery. Perhaps a Latin motto to boot? Something like:
combination in profundis, recludatur

which supposedly means the combination unlocks the depths. But I’m sure my Latin teacher friend would say it’s wrong.

We start our return journey to San Miguel de Allende, GTO, MEX tomorrow (wednesday 7/7 ( works either way mm/dd or dd/mm)) from Mendocino, CA. Which I believe is farther left than Mars....We expect to be home by 16 Julio and will have traversed 7 of the United States of America in less than 7 weeks time. Fortunately I have been able to rely on my VOX Amplug and my home built single cutaway JB to help us thread our intergalactic course. Wish us well on our SOB re-entry with the ‘capsul’.

Good Wednesday morning, Combo Club!

WBB, I’m digging your Latin vibe. It adds credibility to an already credible group of people.

G’Dog, are these suggestions helping you? As you can tell, I’ve brought in the brightest minds this planet has to offer. Man, there are more engineers in this club than the GOFs have retirees.

Thanks for your contribution, Westy!
