The turtle...I think.. trade mark tells me it's a Warmoth neck...Most excellent, up the road a ways in Puyallup Washington. The neck has a few issues so the price agreed was 30 bucks.

Now... We are selling our property/home on the coast, I have been here since 1969..(4 years old). Opportunity doesn't knock her. Not to mention family is.. well.. leaving.. heaven bound.
Josephine county.. Here we come!!! Merlin/Galice area. I all ready 'am part owner in a couple of gold claims. I will be partners in a guitar shop... my dream... Buy, sell, trade and repair. I can perform fret jobs, replace, crown, dress and even do the soldering jobs. Also will do lacquer, paint, etc with help. I will to be building timber frame homes...part time.. but as a foremen... I'm to damn old to be slingin' beams around!! I don't want to move as the Oregon coast is beyond beautiful...you can see my 200 plus pics in my daily snapshot.. but Grants pass area is close... to paradise, in fact it IS an inland paradise... hey I can drive two hours to the coast....

I don't like change. If I was not offered the building job... and the guitar shop gig.. I would stay here. Wife said... Hey dumb ass.. opportunity ain't knockin'.. left hook.. straight right! (actually she don't say aint...) Lets go! She can also almost double her wages.

Anywho... I believe I got off track....I blame single malt scotch....

Reasons above, mostly family members leaving, I have been absent, not posting much. I hope all you critters are doin' awight!!!!



I cut 16 inches of my hair...donated to locks of love. Can I still listen to my favorite (hair bands)?
Yep!!!!!!!!!!!



What? A "hair band" doing a song with horns?
Yeh
Blusey.

O.V. : You'll be alright if you want to be.

Man....Doin something you like , and that you are into and good at for "work"? Not doing that has been the crap part of many lives.
Worth the discomfort of having to reorient your location. And more ,it's by choice.

Congrats on the opportunity. The skill set(s) did not fall out of the sky though ,so you earned it.

Having chased money doin things so opposite of my passions so long......I would be shouting "Jump " at you too!

Joke of the day — One night, a lady stumbled into the police station with a black eye. She claimed she heard a noise in her back yard and went to investigate. The next thing she knew, she was hit in the eye and knocked out cold.

An officer was sent to her house to investigate, and he returned 1-1/2 hours later with a black eye.

"Did you get hit by the same person?" his captain asked.

"No," he replied. "I stepped on the same rake."

Hey Scott. Did I answer your question about Booth’s shooter?

Two days later the E.M.T.'s arrived at her house. She had been raking leaves with the same garden rake , and fell out of the tree!

For Dram— A thirsty sailor runs from his boat to the nearest bar and shouts to the bartender, “Give me twenty shots of your best scotch, quick!”

The bartender pours out the shots, and the sailor drinks them as fast as he can.

The bartender is very impressed and exclaims, “Wow. I never saw anybody drink that fast.”

The sailor replies, “Well, you’d drink that fast too, if you had what I have.”

The bartender says “ oh my, what do you have?”



“Fifty cents!” replied the sailor.

Damn! I love Merlin/Galice and Grants pass!!
Can’t beat the gold! Nice and chunky!!! Lots of pickers!!!!

Winters ain’t bad either, only two problems for me to live there. Too far from salt water, and too much liberalism there. But it’s where I am bad as well. I used too live off Savage Creek road in Rouge river.

Well I will still have friends on the coast and two of them have boats! Applegate, Williams, Jacksonville have a few liberals as it is wine country... and also now mary jane country. But there are a lot of ranches, prospectors .. right wing. The libs over there are mellow...Ashland? OMG!! Grants pass has over 30.000 people now!

Many years ago, I was at Fayettenam on an exercise. We went to a bar. I was with a Senior and brothers I loved. Anyway we pulled into a club and my Senior said “ follow my lead. Ok. After we go into the bar, he pulls out a HUGE blade, puts it to my throat, pushes me through the crowd up to the bar. There he screams “ hey quickly give him a beer now, it’s about to get ugly” Everybody got out of our way. The bartender brings me a beer, quickly placed it on the bar. My friend says “ quickly drink it, drink it NOW.” So I slammed the beer........My friend then looks at me.....slams his blade on the bar.......... everybody is looking at us. Then he picks up the knife, hands it to me and says.......”now do me!” Hehe I guess you had to be there. I was with that crew in DS. Hehe

Joke of the day — Dead ahead, through the pitch-black night, a captain sees a light on a collision course with his ship.

Reaching for the radio, he says: “Change your course ten degrees east.”

“Change yours ten degrees west,” comes the reply.

The captain responds, “I’m a navy captain! Change your course, sir!”

“I’m a seaman second class,” the next reply comes back. “Change your course, sir.”

The captain is furious. “I’m a battleship! I’m not changing course!”

The man replies, “I’m in a lighthouse. Your call.”

Hey Scott. Did I answer your question about Booth’s shooter?

Yes...partially.

What became of him?
A reward was paid. Please elaborate.

From Vol. IV of Carl Sandburg's, "Abraham Lincoln. The War Years."

I suppose that you are talking about hammered Celtic coins.
No. I don't have any. Yet.
Give me an idea of what you are looking for and I'll see if I can swap for it!

Keep this old man in mind if you come across a decent Ovation, Brother!

A return to Paradise?

It is late.
For some.
For others, it is early....

For me, it is time to open a bottle of wine that I received back before
Thanksgiving for helping my Wine and Cheese store Friend with his car ignition switch.



A fine, light wine, perfect for those like me who have no care of the time....

Approves....

(perhaps too much irony?)

Yeah, guess who drew CQ tonight?
Is there no recourse for such an inveterate insomniac?

"Why, Darling, as long as you are pouring, I'll be drinking.
And, one day, someone might just shoot the glass from my hand..."

Sometimes, Nature bares her best when most are asleep....
Sleep well, my Friends.....

Ok Scotty— In 1886, a veterans’ organization took pity on the old codger and offered him the assistant doorkeeper’s post at the Kansas State Legislature in Topeka. The job didn’t last long. One day, after some kind of dispute—accounts of the day vary wildly—Corbett brandished his gun inside the statehouse. That was it. Kansas officials shut him away in a mental asylum in Topeka.

Went boating today. Storm rolled in. Had a blast just me, my grandson and dog.
