beautiful bass...8k though? think i’d prefer a 60’s for that kinda dough..
Uhh, yeah. I don't care who owned it b4.
Sometimes, I've got nothing to say but I feel the need to yell into the void and see if it answers back... this is one of those times. 
We have a beaver emoji, so I used it

I hate this time of year. The crass commercialism of the holiday season. Rushing around to make sure everything gets done. Trying to figure out what to buy for the impossible to buy for, having to tell others what to buy me despite me not wanting anything. Trying to negotiate a custody schedule that will let me get a ski day or two in with my daughter.

But on Xmas day, it is all done. I get to have a great dinner with my family and spend some quality time playing games, telling stories, and having a good time.

I use mine at home almost everyday. I even recorded a track once and forgot that I was running wireless.
Not to sound like the Grinch myself, I'd like to say that the adults in our circle of family and friends decided long ago that we have enough and that we would spare one another from that pressure of the Holidays. We give the kids in the family, envelopes with cash which I know it's hard to believe, but they absolutely love. As for we adults, we bring wine, champagne, gift boxes of seasonal snacks and pot luck dishes when we visit each other and dinner is involved. So much better for all involved, IMO.
...but if anyone wants to buy me a Thunderbird, we can bend the rules!
I missed my dry weather window to get the lights up on Saturday - indicates I have first world problems!
Agreed. I just covered my eyes when i saw the price.
I can always count on the Count to make me laugh

It would be entirely hypocritical for a dyed-in-the wool infidel to to mark any religulous shenannigans, but NI Straylight (Pricing) is half price at the moment and no one will notice if I don't tell them.

Nah man, you know how to bring things down to a level where it's easy to see the cosmic humor in our wandering around this giant, crazy ant farmOften by mistake, I'm sure...
Yeah, I figured that song was the only one that ‘might’ have reached some ears. I was a bit shocked as he was only ~ 5 years older than me. Used to see them a bit when they were a youngish band and I was in my going to pubs years.
One of the guitarists - Reg Mombassa - switched to concentrate on his art, and designed some Mambo T shirts.
This kinda style art:
I still haven't gotten my darned pool covered/ winterized for the same reason! Every time that I have time, the weather is either too wet, windy or below freezing!
I always wondered what Johnny did after that whole Cobra Kai debacle....
That’s kinda cool. Looks like a huge shrimp on the barbe.
