So the doctor said she looked horrible and needs more rest!!!!

That is pretty wild. Sounds like he has a special talent there. That’s just awesome.

I can read music and play piano a little. Right hand mostly, single notes. Double notes are tougher. I think that’s great and hope he moves forward with that.

My wife was gone last night so I sat down to learn a bass line from an old Bread song, Look what you’ve done. I have acoustic guitars, drums, and voice recorded (a friend sang). I just need to add the bass line and finish it up. I’m listening to it and the bass line is nothing like I expected from Bread – Bland that is. I really like the…[Read more]

The Gibson SG sounds interesting. I am always looking but not buying much. I pretty much have my set up.

Epiphone Les Paul Plus top Pro. This is my go to.
Epiphone ES-335. I am liking this more and more
Fender Elite II bass I’ve had this since the band in college
Yamaha acoustic sounds great.
An electric acoustic Not as good,…[Read more]

Regarding the soaker hoses, these are the ones that have worked for us really well.

You might take a look.

I tried to check out the Les Paul, it looked pretty but I can’t get past the login for nextdoor. How much do they want for it? And how much for the SG?

We have not had good luck with soaker hoses either which is why I made the manifold. We always hooked them up together in series. This time I made a manifold to essentially hook them up…[Read more]

Yep, if our kid moves his family to TN, then my wife does not want to be far from them. So I would think we are going. This is just a unique property with great assets. It will be tough to leave that.

Yesterday I finally set the valve lash on the mower. I had to adjust just one valve. The other three were right on. So now that is…[Read more]

Take them to the beach!!! Kids will love it. Ha ha!!!

We have our oldest son and his wife considering moving to TN. In fact almost her whole family is considering it. We have 6 kids but only he has grandkids and my wife may have to go to TN to be near them. We have a pretty sweet set up here and it is irreplaceable really. Woods,…[Read more]

Yeah, they are very handy as leaf vacuum cleaners. We have 1.25 acres with about a 11k sq ft yard to mow. So a push mower is a lot of work, even the self propelled ones. If they had those with a 42 inch deck or 48 inch deck, maybe. Nope, my hips and legs are wearing out. The guy that sold us the house gave us a self propelled mower that I…[Read more]

The last number of summers our grass has browned up. Never happened before. Mostly anyway. Still green so far.

Started a fire outside last night and we cooked hot dogs with the grand kids, 6 and 3. They liked it. Not so much about marshmallows. They like cooking the mallow but not eating it. Some neighbors came by and ate hot dogs…[Read more]

I don’t know if we’ve seen a changing of the guard. But Final X might be so.

Yeah, the cost for this diesel is too much. However I get pretty good mileage so that might override. However, the way the car calculates the average mileage changed from this trip. They did something and it is not doing what it used to do. So something…[Read more]

Well, I was traveling to UT Sat – late last night. Things were going well until the DEF said I had 200 miles or I couldn’t start my car again. We were just outside Twin Falls ID and they have a VW dealership. I’ve been through this before, but the cost was more than I thought it would be. They replaced the DEF injector, emptied the DEF…[Read more]

We roofed last year. They replaced a bunch of plywood due to water absorbtion. Hopefully they fixed that scenario.

Wow, that is quite the story. I remember the fight and the arrest. I wonder if Rutgers will make a mistake or not on this. 250K is something pretty big.

My wife and I spent the weekend on the northern Oregon coast. We stayed in Seaside but that is very close to Cannon Beach. So we spent time in both. It was just a quick vacation…[Read more]

YOu are speaking Greek to me. But those are all the questions I have to get answers for.

Shoveled another yard of dirt on Saturday and mowed a neighbor’s way overgrown lawn. I think it was overwhelming for him to look at so I took care of it. Hot tubbed with my wife that night and we both felt much better.

Yeah, they are heavy. 1.5 inch cut is much more manageable. Just thinking about it makes me tired and sore. We are in for a stretch of dry for the next 10 days so we’ll be getting more dirt and shoveling.

Next week I have to figure out my options for medical coverage from not medicare and then medicare. Once I understand those things, I…[Read more]

I did not catch RAF 08. Real is the deal for sure. I do’nt know much about Ashnault but kudos to him for doing it, making a little money, and on his decision to head back to Rutgers.

We have a metal roof on a outdoor shed covering. Very slippery when wet and also dry. Not recommended for older folks like me who have to get up there and clean it and I’m busy slipping all over the place. No golf shoes on that!! They are more like lean toos. Fully open to the elements but has a roof. It stays pretty dry in there and we…[Read more]

Well, my wife decided she needed a floral barrier to the garden. So I had to remove the grass in that area. I rented a sod cutter that worked pretty good. But I’m still sore from all that work. Lifting the rolls of sod, they are very heavy and there’s no good ergonomic way to do it. But I’m slowly recovering. That cutter worked pretty…[Read more]

Well, she chose well. But she really should see this stuff.

I get to spray the grass for moss today. Moss grows rampantly around here. It’s green so from a distance the lawn looks ok but there is moss everywhere. We’ll attempt to get rid of it and get the grass growing. I get to do that after work.
