This is why the good lord made strap locks, so that even the least of his creations should not be bummed.

What did you learn today?

Thanks! Truth be told, I have both a couple Grolsch washers and the original "batwing" strap knobs that came with the bass. Just haven't played this bass for a while, but grabbed it in a hurry for practice last night after the previously mentioned crappy day at work got me there late.
Best part- no damage to the bass, even stayed in tune.
Plus, the band loves the sound of it, and I think it's a better aural fit for the band too, and it's fun to play. 
Thank goodness. One of my favorite basses went down a little while ago. Only the second time in thirty-three odd years. I have nightmares now. No more propping up jazz basses on the sofa like a lazy dummy. Those things have a mind of their ownBest part- no damage to the bass, even stayed in tune.
I hope work picks up for you. That was equally disturbing to read.
Well, uh, in as much as an Ibanez fiver can be bummed... Ya know, I'm gonna just chalk it up to the mystery of life.Umm... who's the least of those creations in this scenario, me or the bass?
Today I learnt that the state of Ohio has a senior citizens HOF, and that Annie Glenn has been elected to it.
Congratulations Annie.
Congratulations Annie.
Thanks all for the hopes of of my employers clearing their cranial/rectal junction, but I see little hope for this, personally.
Things have been getting slowly worse since these new owners took things over last year.
Hey, on the bright side, I have fallen in love again with my 5 string bass, and, if the business tanks, I suppose I'd have more time to play.
So, I got that going for me, which is nice...
Also, on topic- You know the curved piece that goes around a lightbulb, and supports the lampshade?
It's called a harp.

Well, while I do take some exception to being called "the least" of anything, I'll let this slide, just because I'm busy looking for another job.
I just came to the realization this mor,ing that I probably need a CPAP machine, because my sleep paralysis is getting out of hand. I woke up, aware but unable to move, with my neck bent in a weird angle, cutting off my air. So now I'm stuck and I'm doing my best to will myself into movement before I pass out and suffocate. I used to say anything but a CPAP machine, but I don't enjoy these daily suffoction ordeals. New lesson to begin the day, and now maybe I'll get that sleep appt. made!
No offense intended.Well, while I do take some exception to being called "the least" of anything, I'll let this slide, just because I'm busy looking for another job.
I struggle with one. If you need it definitely put the time in to get used to it. It will help. I don't have the same issue but I can tell the difference when I use it correctly vs not.
None taken, all good. I'm just in a mood.
Stopped by my work this morning to get my paycheck-was told "they won't be coming today, there's been a delay".
Just f'n yay.
S'ok. I just want it on the record.
It will be plainly evident when offense is meant. I'm pretty good at that.
I learnt that Morely Safer is retiring. I like Morely Safer. I especially like to say "Morely Safer."
Today I learned that I really don't learn something every day, but then I realized that meant I learned something. And of course, now I learned whatever you all told me, too.
Don't lift it all by yourself.
I had a friend who got a hernia when he was a little kid. He complained to his mom that he was bored, and his mom told him to go outside and lift the house. So he tried.
