What made you HAPPY today?

I won't say this made me "happy," exactly, because I don't think I'm in a space where I'll really feel that for a while . . . but I guess I am pleased that I finally talked myself into buying a Rickenbacker bass. 4003 fire glo. I've played the same used $250 Ibanez ATK bass in my band for the last 11 years or so. About time I made the investment, I guess.

 

That's awesome! My first Ric was a '74 fireglo. I've always liked the color.

Just learned there's another new album from the Chris Robinson Brotherhood coming in July- technically less than a year since the last one (in addition to a five-song EP of non-album stuff from that last album, that was just released six months ago).

Once again, being up and functioning normally instead of lying on a cold slab DEAD.

It's a miracle I read 2 whole books this weekend, considering the fact that I have cable tv, the internet and so many other distractions in my house. Now if I could just clean up around here...

One of my Friends who was in Boy Scouts with me put two pictures up of our Eagle Scout Ceremony on FARCEbook today...

Top Pic: Rick Janich, Keith Girbach, Jim Delhey and I. Second Pic: Me, Keith G. Jim D. Rick J. and my Dad is the guy in the leisure suit. don't know the flag bearer. I think this was in early June '76 Because all of us graduated this year also, and we couldn't have the Ceremony until those who'd gone on the Senior Trip got back at the end of May. I still have my uniform as presented in these pics...nowhere NEAR being able to fit in it anymore...

Yeah I had a sleep study because I thought I had it. Turns out I don't need a machine even though I had episodes of not breathing.

Yeah, I did one after my second Divorce, and they gave me two Bi-Pap machines...the air supply and Humidifier. I stopped using that almost immediately. Had another sleep study in 2008, and the Dr. told me I had stopped breathing....I can't remember how long, but the technician said my apnea was HARD CORE...so they gave me a new machine, just smaller than a loaf of bread, which contained the air supply and Humidifier all in one, I've been using this one ever since then, and traveled with it successfully many times! I also found out that the little machine is worth 3,000 U.S. dollars....

Jumping back a day, I did something I haven't done in a LOOOOONG while. I made a 12 oz. plastic container of Chocolate milk, with Hershey's syrup, and got out a spoon, and TOOK MY MEDICINE properly, a spoonful at a time!

Having the time to fart around on here.

 

And the doors and windows are open and it's lovely outside!

 

If you're "farting around" which sounds like A LOT, it's a good thing your doors and windows are open :P

 

:LOL:

Learning that I really am fast as f**k on those drums. Pardon my language but after having spent most of my life thinking that I'm not particularly good at anything, it's nice to know that I've at least found something that I am potentially good at.

I did my physio for my broken shoulder/arm and, even though it's still range-of-motion exercises, I got my arm straight over my head without undue pan! Yay! Side to side not so good but I'm using the the left arm as much as possible without screaming in pain. Progress!!
