Axl I could stand to fast myself. I haven't been eating very well and feel like I picked up a few pounds. My workouts have been hit and miss. Lately more miss than hit. It seems like the kids have stuff going on all the time and I can't stand to start a workout much past seven. I'm working on the shower tonight. I got the last of the cleanup done and got the caulk around the shower floor. I'm going to go break open the new set up now.

Hitt,
Yeah that's the first post since the thread split. it was just weird to post in a "new" thread
Roth.
i'm definitely not lost - things have been absolutely incomprehensible lately.The list of things that have broken has just been insane and trying to keep up with work and internet posts at the same time was just impossible.essentially, on top of the floor issues,building the shop and work,every major appliance we own and my jeep has all broken down within a couple of weeks.I'm usually pretty good with dealing with it but when you add in starting up a band,band practice,training a new bass player,playing a gig,the wife moving to bigger managerial duties at her job and a pair of geriatric dogs, it has all just been almost too much.
I think we're on a downswing at this point and i'm hoping things are gonna normalize shortly (hell, i'm working on a mid 70's deluxe reverb as i type ).
it's nice to see the new people and catch up with everyone. hopefully i'll get to hang out here a bit more in the near future

Hang in there Gutter. As my mom constantly says, "Today's the best day of the rest of my life". In her case it's probably true, but for the rest of us there are those peaks and valleys.
I played a little "bass" a few years ago, but once I got it in the boat I realized it was too small and had to throw it back.
The word just struck me funny this morning. Now I'm wondering if the shoes are Bass (guitar) or Bass (fish) shoes and why didn't they just name the guitar a Base or Bace guitar or better yet, the Tutmark guitar? Enough deep thought for the day.

Good morning. Gutter I don't know what to say besides Wow! When the dust settles you'll still be standing. I've been having a little of the same luck with stuff breaking at home. It gets old really fast.
I got the rails in for the shower last night but still have to assemble the doors and the rest of the guides and stuff. I don't know if it will get done today or not. The wife and I have to take eight teenage girls to this big outdoor shopping center for my daughters bday party. It's her "friend" party. I don't remember having separate friend and family parties when I was a kid. Oh well, everything changes.

That's great you are making so much progress, hitt! Must be that fresh snus!
My son is riding his bike BY HIMSELF to his grandma's house for the first time today to meet up with his friends that live near her. She's only six blocks and two streets away, but I'm not ready for this at all. He's almost ten and this is the first time he's wanted to hang out with friends so I have to let him go but ugh!! Maybe I'll hide behind bushes and follow and spy on him.
At what age did you guys let your kids run free??

I totally understand axl. It's not that you don't trust him but worry about something happening. It took a long time for us to feel comfortable with the kids riding by themselves. We still don't let them go real far.

My boys started riding around the neighborhood at around 8 or 9. Their friends lived fairly close, and the school was right down the street. We also had a big park a couple blocks away. It was nerve wracking for a while at least. Especially with my younger son. He was a little reckless.... You could always train Titus to keep an eye on him. 
We picked up Sherry's wedding rings today. We had them custom made to fit her engagement ring. Pink diamonds, and little hearts. Almost like Lucky Charms..... LOL It's good to have the rings out of the way. Now for the wedding and party. I'll be glad when it's all over.

I just finished the last of the shower door replacement. I wonder what will break next? By the time the kids are grown and have their own place I'll know how to fix just about anything. Now I know why dads know so much. The school of hard knocks.

Hitt, it's nice to be able to do those things yourself, isn't it? Between my Dad and an Uncle, I have most home repairs covered. If I ever own a home that is....
Had a fun afternoon with the Grandkids. We made rice crispy smores. They turned out well. Then we watched The Princess Bride. A good day.

I didn't know you were getting married, skry, when? Congrats. Got a pic of the rings??
My boy sort of ended up with a police escort for his maiden six block voyage. My father in law is a city cop so he did some drive-by's. Poor kid! LOL. So the mother-in-law is dealing with a pack of boys all day, my daughter is helping the neighbor lady weed her flowers, and I actually get a day off!! I'm getting quite alot done actually.
I FINALLY found a use for my old snus cans. I can wash them and use them to hold tracking bait/training treats!! Woo hoo, and excuse to keep some of them!!

No pics of the rings. I should take some. At least for insurance. Sherry picked the date. 12/12/12. It's a Wednesday. It will be a simple civil ceremony at the Post. With the reception the following Saturday.
Axl, it sounds like you're son was in good hands. That has to be a big stress relief. I usually have a few empty snus cans in my lunch bucket. I never know when one will come in handy. They help keep small things organized in my tool box at work.
Still relaxing with:

Axl, 16 and 19......but that's how old and out of control they were when I inherited them. Somehow they both managed to turn out pretty good through no help from their mother.
Good luck Skry, you're a better man than I. I made a promise to my wife that if we ever broke up I'd never remarry and I'm firmly committed to that statement, especially now. Interesting date, you should have gotten married last year on my birthday- 11/11/11.
Darn, your kids are in luck. A built in maintenance mane for the future. I've gotten to be the Ego battery repair man, a really sucky job. A word of warning. Don't drop those suckers. There are about 5b soldering points, all very temperamental. I don't know which one initially got disconnect originally , but when I finally got it opened the connection between the micro chip and the atty was broken, possibly when I opened it up because when I got it soldered it still didn't work.
I then had to take the battery out because from youtube, there was a solder in the bottom connected to the battery that had to be the culprit and I couldn't get the bottom cap off. Soldered that and on reassembling, my original solder broke. Then the solder broke at the atty, trying to get the button back in. I had to re-break the solder at the chip to get that re-soldered. That's when I learned a valuable lesson. Before I re-soldered the chip, I should have put the button back in and held it in place with the wire running from the atty. I re-soldered the chip and carefully re-assembled and it worked, good as new. There are two more coming to me now. Hopefully lesson's learned will make the next two much easier.
I know I'm going to be more careful with my VV. I've dropped it once or twice. I can't imagine what that looks like inside the tube.

You really should, Skrymer. Our neighbors were broken into last December and had some valuable jewelry stolen. The insurance company wouldn't cover it because they had no proof she owned it. A few pics of her wearing the pieces would have taken care of that.
My daughter was late to work tonight because I had to stop and help a bicyclist who fell hard in the street. As often as I see it, I still can't believe what driver will do to get through an accident scene. No wonder a firefighter is more likely to die in traffic on scene than in a fire. Thankfully, no one hit him.........or me. Those drivers are NUTS.
Trying to tell myself that I'm tired and need to go to bed, but it's not working.

Good evening everyone. It was busy while I was gone. I survived another teenage bday party. There were nine girls plus my wife. An hour plus spent at charming Charlie's was torture followed by some time at books a million and we finished up at T-Rex with some huge desserts and onion rings and fries.

Happy Mothers Day! I better go get breakfast started. We are taking the wife to a nursery she wanted to go to so she can pick some flowers for her flower bed and then out to eat later. Of course the girls also have presents for her.
