Happy Sunday everybody! Tomorrow afternoon I have a colonoscopy scheduled, so today is going to suck... I'll play some guitar and work on a tune we're going to record next week. I'm finally getting back some of my playing after my table saw incident a couple years ago. That really messed with my head, as much as it messed with my finger! Anyways, time for breakfast - my last meal until tomorrow afternoon...

I bought a Resonator guitar last week, the CL ad said he had some physical issues, and was no longer able to play. When I shook his hand I saw his 3 fingers were now the length of his pinky! Those saws are unforgiving!
gah, power tools are my nightmare, blech. Yeah, colonoscopy aren't bad but that prep is no fun.
getting ready to jam in a little while. Was going to my friend's house this week but now his wife is sick with the cold he had last week. Lot of germs going around. Trying to get lunch and laundry out of the way and also get to the store to get some salsa. Bought the chips last night and forgot the dang salsa. I really wanted to avoid going to the store on a Sunday. Oh, well. At least we don't have a game to suffer through today.
Thinking I might bring up the bass amp this week. It ain't too heavy but it's a stack so there will be two trips up and two trips back down ... unless I put it in the office. Unlikely because there really isn't room.
Y'all have a good one.
*edit* rat farts, jam got canceled.

It?s 9:00PM in Dublin, Ireland as I type this. Just a few more days and I?m headed home. It?s been a great trip, and I?ve managed to put my hands on a number of Irish- and British-made guitars: Hudson, Rathbone, Tanglewood, Lowden, and some others. Of them all, the Lowden was the nicest, but not at the price! ?4,679 (about $5,074). And it ain?t no Martin!
COVID has been making the rounds of the travelers on the bus. I dodged a bullet, because I only had some muscle soreness early on, but it?s been a merry-go-round of who gets to ride and who has to isolate. Even though I?ve been passed over (knock on wood), I?ve still been exposed, so I?m not going to hit all the public hot spots for a day or two after I get home.
A mix of weather. We had four days of absolute gorgeous weather. So much so that even the locals were in 7th Heaven! It couldn?t have come at a better time too, as I visited the Cliffs of Moher (which I?ve been told can be a tough experience) and drove the Ring of Kerry with bright sun and temps in the 70s!
Well, all good things come to an end. I?m capping off the trip with a few days in Dublin, and then back to my boring daily grind.
Be well, all.

It?s been a strange week that began with a classmate?s husband passing away at my reunion last Sunday, and wrapping up with my birthday today. I?m sipping a scotch and watching auto racing (something I usually never do) and hoping Corvette does good at IMSA on the Bricks at Indy.
This has been a hectic week at best. Had some bass gigs this afternoon. Consulted the store yesterday and if I pay for travel and stay, I have a full access NAMM for 2025. The plan is to press some palms in the days leading up to the awards, the store wins an award, and then I follow up to he a better paying fully remote job.

Been doing lots of finger picking on that new Alvarez guitar I bought last month. It's a real sweety!
Hit 1003 miles on my bicycle yesterday. I did 1400 miles last year, but I don't think I'm going to hit that again this year. Too many geezer interruptions.

How was the colonoscopy, GJ? Hope everything is ok with youOriginally Posted by gibsonjunkie

The upper endoscopy showed no change with my Barrett's Esophagus... that was good news. This new doctor (my last one retired) talked more about the Barretts and told me it was a mild form and the chances of it turning cancerous were around one in a million. He also found one polyp which he removed and it will be tested, but he didn't expect it to be a problem. After a nice nap we went out to Longhorn Steakhouse for a 20 ounce Outlaw Ribeye - it was D@MN good!!!

Good to hear Nick.
My last colonoscopy inspired a new come-back line when someone is annoying me.
"You need to take that cellphone, turn on the camera, and give yourself a colonoscopy."
It's polite. To the point. And is remarkably rewarding a moment later when the expression flashes across their face revealing that they just got it!
Priceless!

Good to know, my friend!
