I make an effort to coordinate 2 hands, never mind 10 fingers and a foot pedal. I watched young kids play but they had instruction since they were like 3 years old.

Watched 2 of the grandkids over the weekend while the parents went to visit friends out in Nashville. We picked them up Friday afternoon at school and brought them home Sunday…[Read more]

No. 1 grandson learned how to play the piano watching YouTube instruction. He uses all 10 fingers too. Mostly classical piano. Show him sheet music and he can read it. He learns the keys bit by bit and recalls the entire song from memory.

That’s quite an array of vintage gear, and probably worth a few bucks to collectors. I tried a tonette in grade school. I’ve had a bad ear since I was little and couldn’t play in tune.

2000 Gibson Les Paul Special — Solid Mahogany — Great player! Case included! $1,050

This is an example of the greatness that comes out of the Gibson shop. It has a few dings here and there, but they don’t take away from the guitar at all. The frets are in very good condition with hardly any wear at all! The rosewood fretboard is silky and dark…[Read more]

I seem to recall you mentioning a Les Paul. I don’t know if the link will work, but here goes.

There is also a Gibson SGJ for…[Read more]

There are a ton of great areas in TN that are close to cities but offer what you seek. You’d have lots of new travel destinations. We had been thinking about the Charleston SC area and were considering renting a small apartment for a year to see if we would like it. In the end, my daughter had number 4 and wifey wanted to help out and then…[Read more]

94 on Wednesday, topped out at 58 today with a nonstop dribble of rain all day, 1/4″ It’s going to be a crummy weekend with more rain. 2 families of kids are coming down and we haven’t a clue how to entertain them all if it rains for 2 days.

I broke down and bought a used Cub Cadet lawn tractor last March. It’s 2006 with 500 hours but had been sitting in some old guy’s garage for 10 years. I had to replace the tires and seat, then a tuneup, oil change and new belts. I turned the key and nothing. I was able to a new ignition switch, and vroom it started right up, but the blades…[Read more]

Ronda Rousey is one nasty biotch. Today will be the 3rd day in the 90’s, 5th +85. We get a break tomorrow as it wont pass 65 as a bunch rain moves in. This is the earliest I’ve ever seen my lawn start to brown out.

Diesel can be quirky for sure. Burning almost $2K to keep it running is a ridiculous cost for $400 part. They must have taken advantage after seeing your license plate. I’m looking forward to seeing the outcomes of the team trials. We could be seeing the changing of the guard in some of the weight classes.

I haven’t been able to login for quite a while. Finally, success and here I am. Th roof took 4 days and fortunately those weather guessers were wrong. The roof is done and looks great. The fiberglass should last a long time with a topcoat every 7-10 years.

Any day at the beach is a good day. It’s been in the 60’s of late but yesterday we 74 and today it’ll be in the 80’s. Looks like that warm weather has made its way east.

Roofer came yesterday and ripped off the existing deck. He started laying new plywood but got halfway through. Now I’m getting antsy. Rain is expected tomorrow and he’s got…[Read more]

Yeah, 65 KG was crazy, a complete flip from NCAAs.

NCAA – 133, Jax beat Davino who beat Blaze
USSN – 61KG/134LB Blaze beat Davino who beat Jax.

Who will we see up at 141 next season?

The Rutgers recruit Anthony Knox, came in 3rd at 57. He’s got a murky background. He was a 3 time state champ and picked upma controversial 4th title last year.…[Read more]

I don’t think the Medicare rules have changed so you can stay on an employer’s healthcare plan until you retire. It’s probably worthwhile to compare the costs as it may be cheaper to remain with your employer plan for you and your wife. Unless she qualifies for Medicare or has access to a private plan, you’ll have to find her coverage also is…[Read more]

I rented a sod cutter once. I didn’t know the depth was adjustable and end up cutting 2.5″ slabs. I couldn’t roll them, so I had to cut into short slabs and drag them on a tarp to where I wanted to place them,

Anthony Ashnault came out of retirement to go against Real Woods in RAF08. We all hoped he’d keep it close and he did. Down 3-2 with under 10 secs left and Woods putting on the defensive Ash Nault tried to flip over Woods in hope of getting to the back of Woods legs. Almost, Woods caught him for the TD and exposure for a 7-2 win. The next day…[Read more]

2 days at 89F last week, 1 at 88 and 2 in the low 80’s. I got toasted replacing some siding on the house. It still better than to 33 they say we are getting Monday AM. We get big temperature swings on bot winter and summer, but nowhere near many as we’ve experienced this winter.

We have low slope roof over the kitchen, 12″ over 20 ft. I’m have…[Read more]

We get moss but only on the north side which shady 99% of the year. I use powdered lime and it’s gone in a few days

Cut the grass for the first on the year on Friday. No rain it it’ll need to cut again on Tuesday.

We almost made it there back while I was working. I had a conference to attend at the Big Sky Resort in Montana, and we planned to go and piggyback off the conference. But my daughter recently had her 3rd and her husband had to go to Europe the same week. Wifey opted to help her out with the 2 little ones. Big Sky was close enough for a driving…[Read more]

If you want to do Banff then go there through Glacier National. It’s the same range just across the border. I’ve been to Glacier, Yellowstone, Snake River Canyon and the Tetons. The wife hasn’t seen any of them so we’ve (I’ve) talked about doing an RV tour. She’s not too keen on the RV.
