Good morning folks.
Watching George Harrison: Living in the Material World. I think it's going to be
a late/early night/morning. It's three and a half hours and I just started it
Never really have gotten the knack of typing on this iPad. The external keyboard isn't much help either. But the unit itself
is convenient.
Here we go...

Good morning. Still have a few more pills to take but the mouth seems to be OK now and my foot feels better too although I don't think penicillin does anything for arthritis. Think I'll go to the golf course and see if I can walk a few holes without hurting anything. It's a little cool outside right now but the wind has died off and the sun should be coming up in a few minutes.

Good morning! Enjoying the cool, but fortunately not freezing, temperatures here. Even with all the aches and pains that accompany the aging process, Friday seems to make me feel just a little bit better. OK..... who is going to lead us in a group sing-a-long?  |

 Morning. The mountain range is back on the eastern horizon this morning. Cold north wind blowing down the length of Lake Michigan makes for an eerie winterie scene. Can the Wolf be far behind ? ? ? |

LOL Marshall!
Good to hear that your mouth is healing Bruce. Nothing worse, I swear, than tooth stuff.
I'm off this afternoon to see Lars, who is away. Home Sunday. My motel has wifi but I bet it sucks. I'm so spoiled.

Awesome find, Ken!
Today is trying to figure out how to finish replacing the pickups in a Gibson ES-335. A piece of fishing line slipped through one of the f-holes so I need to rescue a pickup wire. Then wire it to the pot, through the f-hole (unfortunately, I couldn't get the pot up to the pickup hole).

Mornin'..... Up and going after a late night pickin' at the Third Thursday Jam at the HPPR studios. Some different folks, nice variety of tunes. Also left Carrie and Ty home by themselves last night while I went to the jam. Barb was out of town. First time to leave them on their own. They did fine. *Whew!* Tonight - Fowler home football game. If they can pull off a win over Moscow, Ks. (I know....  ) they may make a 3-way tie for a berth in the playoffs. We'll see. First counter offer on the house was pretty high yet.....only $2000 under asking price. Hard to say yet. But I also had a couple stop by and ask for an appointment to look at ours. I said "How about right now? You're here. I'm here. Come on in." ;D They were interested enough to ask how soon we could be out. We'll see. |
