Sun Day! Also Son Day. March 4th, 2012

[t-bob]

Good morning!

Later this morning, I'll be off to watch my son do some pitching. He was drafted, 5th overall, into an adult league - don't know much about it, but should have a better idea after today's game.

Played some music, guitars and piano, yesterday. One of those days that everything worked. Doesn't happen often.

Enjoy the day!

Good morning. Another rainy day here so suitable for guitar practice and little else.

[Fingerplucked]

Morning. Snowish out today.

[Kramster]

Hey.. only boring ole beautiful Sunshine today..and up to 84 degrees,,,sigh,,,

[drlj]

Snowing here. Big, fluffy flakes. The weather gnome says 65 in a day or two so it could be and interesting weather week.

Enjoy the day.

[Doug]

Heading to 77 today. Spring has sprung.

Good morning ...

Mornin'.....

Beautiful sunrise this morning.....part of the aftermath of the 70+ mph winds we had the other day. Big wind = major dust = great sunrises and sunsets.

Off to Dodge shortly. Doing a new little instrumental solo piece today at church. So new (as in maybe 2 weeks old) that I hope I don't remodel it on the fly too much. Had it where I want it when I ran through it last night, but ya know what can happen.

Good Morning Good People

Slightly snowy this morning. The sky is a hazy shade of winter.

Spent Saturday afternoon in a small room with 21 banjos. Slightly disappointing in that it was billed as a beginner/intermediate workshop and ended up being purely beginner. I did get some good advice on attack on the off-beats.

For those who like guitars with small(er) bodies and thinner necks, Elderly has a very sweet 000-16TR on the racks for a mere $1,000. Sorta like a poor man's working man's 000-28.

Off to church and thence to household chores and preparations for our granddaughter's arrival. (scheduled for 44 days from now but our granddaughter doesn't have a calendar)

Have a sonorous Sunday one and all.

Good morning... sunny here, 13 degrees, gonna be 60 on Tuesday... who plans this stuff? My guess is that it's the same person who designs urban freeway systems.

Tamarack, don't tell me that you aren't going to spend Sunday working? How did that happen?

Good morning everyone. It's snowy and bloody cold here. Going to warm up for the year later this week. Can't come too soon for me.

Hope you are all having a super Sunday. No more sulking okay! What's done is done. I expect we will see our brothers back around here again. Rough patches. We've had a few. We're still here.

[Cornflake]

Good morning. Diane and I went for a seven-mile hike yesterday with friends. That's short by kramster's standards but it's enough for me.



Today I'll tend to all the things that didn't get done yesterday, Have a good one.

G'mornin' - gray low clouds dropping a mist of PacNW sunshine on the world this morning, but it's a warm rain

(Don, that's still about 6.5 miles farther than I'd like to walk in the desert )
