I saw the possibility that was what you meant by served but it wasn’t 100% clear. “Endured” might be a better choice. If I were going to keep “served” I’d say something like, “served his time with the flu — all 24 hours” or. “served every bit of his 24 hours with the flu”.
Good thing she didn’t look in the control cavity, either!
That’s beautiful. As is that shirt. As is your smiling face!
You darned well better keep outliving them for a good many more years! We need our Queen!It's state of mind too, most times I don't feel old (today is an exception, last night's 3, 60 minute sets have taken a toll) and have already lived much longer than either my father or grandfather...........Go have fun while you can.
I'll go with endured and will make other corrections as I noted other typos/omissions. I had worked until 2:30 am yesterday to finish it.
Nah you look good man. And I need that shirt!
I wish I could do that.I had shorts on. No body needs to see that.
Drives women crazy.
Pointing and laughing....
Maybe if I gave myself longer hair like I used t have?

THE BIG BEAUTIFUL POST
I tried three different octave down pedals (some with extra features) for about a month each — the Aguilar Octamizer, T. Rex Quint, and Boss OC-5. One of them had horrible tracking, one had almost tolerable tracking and sounded a bit synthy, and the other sounded very synthy. I decided not to worry about an octave down.
Tonight I was practicing for next Sunday, playing my Thunderbucker-equipped VP. By 3 notes in I was wondering why I even have other pickups. And good Lord and gravy, jumping up from low D to C# (my basses are strung D standard) had enough low energy that in a mix no one is likely to notice it’s nearly an octave up instead of a half step down. (And yes, I know why I have other pickups, and it's not solely because Thunderbuckers are scarce and pricey. But they slay!) Per recent discussions, I will note that this was neck pickup only, and it’s about 1/8” or so closer to the bridge than the Epi 64 pickups, which produce more bass than the stock VP pickups, but nothing like the Thunderbuckers.
Also, I had to learn “Take Me Home, Country Road” for Sunday. (We don’t have a Call to Worship, per se, but we have a pre-service jam, and this week, John Denver won.) While JD has never been high on my list to listen to, he wrote good, relatable, listenable songs. It’s a simple, bouncy, and (dare I say it?) fun bass line that probably ought to be played on an uprigt but this bass gets close. Sharon has always loved his music (we saw him in concert in Atlanta and he did a great job) so she’s pretty happy.
He's my older brother I always sought to emulate. Very poorly it seems. It's a high standard.
That's a lot of playing! Well done!It's state of mind too, most times I don't feel old (today is an exception, last night's 3, 60 minute sets have taken a toll) and have already lived much longer than either my father or grandfather...........Go have fun while you can.
Oh no! Why were you arrested?
I’m way ahead of both grandfathers. Dad’s father didn’t make it to 60. My Mom’s dad passed at 63. My Dad is 95. And presenting some challenges. So who knows for me.It's state of mind too, most times I don't feel old (today is an exception, last night's 3, 60 minute sets have taken a toll) and have already lived much longer than either my father or grandfather...........Go have fun while you can.
So if you’re not using the bridge pickup, I can give it a good home!THE BIG BEAUTIFUL POST

Bro. Twin souls born a couple years apart.
It gets used. Just not for this week’s set.
