I couldn't process the idea of computer analogies either

I'm sure things will advance around to that one sooner or later.

Oh I tried golf, my dad was amazingly good. A more frustrating use of time I can't imagine.Golf can be hit or miss with me. If it is a hit, I usually slice (see what I did there) it though.
In the military, it is tradition that you never wear your hat nor carry your weapon in the officer's mess (the mess is actually the social club, not necessarily where you take your meals). One summer friday, at the mess in Halifax, I ran into a friend who was there to do beach assault practice with his company. As we were standing there drinking a beer, a rather rude naval officer comes up to my friend and starts berating him for having a weapon (a knife in its holster) on his belt. My friend (who happened to be over 6' and a very solid 210#) turns to him and very calmly says "well, I could beat you over the head with that chair, so perhaps we should remove all the chairs too". With that, he calmly turned back to our conversation.
I shutter to think....
Golf instantly turned me into an angry man, I was like the John Mcenroe of Golf. as my party waited for me at the clubhouse I could be seen rage swearing aloud to myself and dragging a pull cart with a wheel missing since the 7th hole, courtesy of my biggest wood and a sudden urge to modify something to pieces. That was one game, I had a short career.
Love my Thunderbird, think it a great sounding and cool looking bass. I use it for my Crue band, use a PJ for my GnR and filling in for a punk tribute, using a P bass. All are good basses

I'll try this again, I replied to PillO, meant for Prog. We would have been a good match on the course. I'd have been the one to put divots on the green with what ever club I had on hand. That's how much I enjoyed golf.

Crap...
Jamie is really sick this morning...food poisoning from the symptoms. I decided to head out and get her some things while she’s asleep, and stop off to get some huevos rancheros for myself. About finished with breakfast then realized I’m wearing my shop clothes that contain no wallet or money of any kind :/
This is going to be an embarrassing conversation

Seems like a food poison thing...hopefully, it’ll clear up quick enough, thanks!

Vince! If you're gonna go outside... wipe that sh!t off yer shoes before ya come back in here!
I have a Jazz (1973) that I just swapped in a set of Lollar replacement pickups and a new bridge. All are easily reversible but the sound did improve. The original pickups had become so micro phonic if I faced the guitar player, his guitar sound came through my amp.
That said, the tone is not what I am looking for right now. I have the T-Bird with the Lollars and I feel I can get close to J-bass tones if I wanted them simply by changing where I pick the strings. It is tougher the to get T-Bird tones from a jazz bass regardless where or how you play it.....

If you had a pocket knife and lighter, you could create a diversion and make a break for it!
It was like an alien abduction, I was cruising the interwebz, next thing I know I'm reading some harsh Thunderbird hate mail... then I was back here!
I'm sorry... did you say 1 7/8" nut width???
