I played rugby with a guy who dislocated his shoulder in a match. He ran off the field, jumped up and grabbed a chain link fence, and then dropped while holding onto the fence with that hand. The shoulder popped back in and he ran back onto the field and kept playing. He was completely sober at the time. It happened so fast that none of us reacted to it until later. It was a delayed *** moment.

The drinking to numb the future pain only worked for so long to be honest.

Finally pulling' the trigger @JJR58 ?

I consider the P the bass with a really bad attitude. Not for the way it sounds, but it's physical aggression. Its headstock won't point toward the ceiling without heroic efforts, and always sneaks back down to female singer back of head height. With bad results. Or good results depending on the singer. It takes out mic stands in a way nothing else ever does. If I didn't keep it chained up in the basement, it would sneak out at night, steal cigarettes, and beat up the neighbor's guitar. And, it takes on superficial damage all the time. I don't know where some of the scrapes and bumps came from, but they sure aren't the factory relic stuff. It looks like it accompanied a berzerker on a raid. And, I really do try to keep it out of trouble. Nothing else I own has the same kind of unruly personality as the P.

For legal purposes you might want to make sure its shots are up to date.

Footballs are kicked as well, from time to time

The ball also looks sort of a little like a foot. With real bad gout, maybe.

Now there's some place I'd love to go. What's the best time of the year there?

It very much depends on what you want to do. I'd go when it's 'warmer'

I actually tried to find an equivalent to Sydney (distance from eq basically plus near coast) on google maps or something!(not scientific at all), sometime ago.
San Diego was it basically. I know nothing about any other factors of that town and environs though.
Is it in the 'fall off the map when the next big quake hits' zone?

San Fran is Sydneys 'sister city', maybe a little off.

Just for fun, not moving anytime soon.

That isn't how earthquakes work. In a subduction zone (where one plate slides under another one), it's the oceanic crust that is subducted.

San Diego is on the San Andreas Fault, which is a transform boundary (two plates sliding past each other), not a subduction zone, anyway.

I don't know. I was just going by the year shown on the picture.

So you'll be after a Viking Club number then?

Guess so. I did have a bushy red beard at one point in my life.

BTW @JJR58, not sure that forking out for a supporting membership is helping in your quest to save for a Bird. Hmmm?

 

[theFixer]

I am.

uh... ok.
Now I'm even more confused... but that's ok... just hurry up & get your new toy so we can all see!

All good Kat, the price of admission alone is worth it.
I'll be able to swing it.
