I was thinking more along the line of family friends recounting the time the young son/ grandson told grandpa he had to pee when out in the boat.
Grandpa said just pee in this coffee can ,and the next moment was hollering , NOT FROM THERE!

So when getting handed a sample cup to fill I usually ask... from how far?

Hey, Leatherface, I'm camping here in the mountains.
I got a fire built for light and warmth.

How 'bout you bring your ass to my campfire and see what will happen to you.

And bring some fire wood with you, butthead.
Want some?
I got some.

Let's dance....

Some may know me...

I'm a cowboy...A man on the run....

A man born to ride....

Wanted....
Dead or alive.



Y'all know I want an Ovation....

One day,
I will have one.

What will I give up to gain my dream?

Collectible currency?
Valuable coins?


I've seen many for sale, but my finances said F you....

And I silently cried....

One day....I will have my Ovation!


Again.

One day, I'll play an Ovation again..,..

A sample of questions today at the VA.....




Question:
"Have you had an opportunity TO HELP anyone?"

Me:
Certainly. I was named Volunteer of the year at Disability Resource Center.

Question:

"Do you think that you might kill your self or others"

Me:

"Nah, not really except anyone who wants to kill me.Those Fockers are already dead.I know how to sneak up on them. You need details? Too bad. You don't have clearance.

"OK.
No more questions...."

Yeah. I actually said this to the Doctor.
She looked at me with wide eyes....
The rest of the physical was quick.

 

[AU24K]

Ah, Damn! Look at the time. AGAIN!

I'm out.

Joke of the day -- The condom was first invented by a Welshman by using a sheep's intestine

The English later improved it by removing the intestine from the sheep first.

I said oh yeah and don't forget The flamethrower and the A-10 Warthog I have access too!" Hehehe

I have never been asked whether I have any weapons.
Good thing....

Part of the physical questions was,
"Do you think about hurting or killing yourself or others?"

I said,
"No. Not myself for 20-30 years. Others? Only if they threaten my life."

Be Well, my Vet Brother.

Best,

Scott

Ummm...
Does having the police and sheriff's department search wooded areas for you
and avoiding capture by hiding high up in a tree for 4 hours at night count?

~~asking for a "Friend..."~~

Sadly, I see many pianos listed for free on the various Facebook buy and sell groups that I follow.

If I had the space, I'd have another piano!

Yes, I once owned an upright piano.
An antique that I restored.

When I removed the keys to work on the action, I found an Indian head penny that had been lost under the keys.

I got pictures around here. Yeah.

Gimme a minute or three, I'll find them in my "Box of Memories" and I'll post, OK?

I wrote many songs once I finished the restoration.....

Best,

Scott

Ain't music great?

 

[AU24K]

Ah!

Here we go...







I inlaid the ebony keys with strips of abalone.
I also made a tuning wrench that I still have.....

This was probably in the 80's, I guess....

As a kid, maybe early teens, I used to sneak away from home at night and "Find" my way into Murphy Hall on the Kansas University Campus to the music rooms.
The Music rooms had pianos, in soundproof rooms for students to practice.
Only a few hundred yards from home....15-20 minutes walking distance....

I wasn't a student, but I spent many hours practicing, teaching myself...
I went room to room, looking for the piano that was tuned right.

AH! A Piano!

When I was caught by my Mom after sneaking out and returning back late,
I was punished for sneaking out.
I never told her why or where I had snuck out...
I performed chores such as pulling weeds as punishment...
This was about the same time that I was involved with "Annie, Get Your Gun."

A KU Production.

Several years later, I attended Kansas University and one Semester I was enrolled in a course called, "Beginning Keyboard."

I practiced in the same rooms for my final and played a short piece of a Bartok selection.



Funny sometimes how life works out, ain't it?

Tomorrow, I'll sneak out again!

Best, Y'all!

Tomorrow is the anniversary of America's Independence.

From our Founding Fathers, whom pledged their life and fortunes to secure a new land,
One of freedom and Liberty, called America,
Know that I and Veterans before me and yet today,
Believe in the same principles and will always defend The Liberty, Justice and Freedom fought for
over 200 years ago.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

God Bless all Vets.

Scott



Will I attend any fireworks displays?

No.

The fireworks have been seen in my Friends eyes, the fireworks of mortars called in, Med-Evac needed.

I don't need to see fireworks to know that America is strong; All I need to see is my fellow Vet.
And I'll know that America is safe.

Hope all have a safe and happy Holiday....

What is life but something to live,
Just one time, something to give?

A chance to make a difference one time,
I'll take the risk, It's mine!

When others say you're a fool,
remember this rule:

I gave all that I had,
whether good or bad,

I gave that you might live,
I gave my all that you might give.

Give to another a gift of my Love,
A gift that I am speaking of.

America is a land of the Free,
A Paradise for you and me.

Many have died in the past
knowing that Liberty will last!

Today, just another day for you perhaps who knows,
But for me, today is a day that my Patriotism grows.

Pass my words by with a grin,
soon, they will remind you again.

What is America and what it means to you.
Then you will see life anew.

I hope you won't get fooled again....



Scott

Yeah, I'm always working on lyrics.

All I need is a melody....

I got some lead riffs worked out....

Still working on melodies....
