pappy

Merry Christmas one and all, been hiding out for a while, just gat away from Online drama and all the rest. Needed a mental health break, had covid 18 months ago and it really scrambled some grey matter. Missed the interaction, but it was hard to gather coherent thoughts, getting better, just a bit slower now. I am sure age has nothing to do with it, (NOT). Hope this time finds you all healthy and spending time with loved ones. Will attempt to get in a regular basis, if memory allows. ROCK ON Pappy.

Just popped in to wish you all a Happy New Year. I am staying away from politics simply because it is fruitless to discuss, and it pisses me off. So I am focusing on what I can control and getting down to work on my guitar playing. Going through some health challenges and going to have much time on hand. Slowing things down a bit. HAPPY NEW YEAR, PAPPY👍

Damn, I got out and took the dog for a ride, then went to the grocery store , now I am totally worn out, COVED is still hanging on, and at this point I am not contagious, the fever had broken two days ago. So just going out and doing an errand totally wore me out. But getting better, there is a lot of crap that continues to hang on, but at least I am not in the hospital.

Saturday went to ER, and had symptoms like a flu. They ran tests and wanted to keep me , but I convinced them that I could more comfortable at home than a hospital room. So they did the swab for COVID, and on Wed AM got the call that I have the virus. So isolate for two weeks at least, but feel lousy, fortunately at this point not extreme , but some of the coughing spells are a bit testy, feels as if your lungs are about to turn inside out, so weak that I tried to play some acoustic earlier and just too exhausted to even hold the guitar. I will be glad when 2020 is over , I am not buying into the new normal no matter what. I am a dinosaur and in a world of snowflakes. And soon I will be extinct.

MY BACKYARD, that's where they live!!!

Fantastic, great sustain and I am still exploring all the combinations of the pickups, but right out of the box she played like a dream

Each day I feel as if there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I have been getting out a bit more. Right now the weather is so darn hot, it makes it difficult to get out and do too much of anything, But yes , making progress.

Not a Gibson but as close as they come to one.

Hotter than a firecracker today, with high humidity. Thought that I would take the dog out for a short walk and he refused to let me put his leash on. So I guess he is smarter than I am, he does not want to go out for a walk, and that is not at all like him. He is enjoying the air conditioning and is not going to go, simple as that.

I guess that everyone is showing off their new arrivals. Mine arrived today about an hour ago. I have been having a difficult time of it the past 8 months. And decided I needed to add something to perk me up and create a new relationship with. We have just begun to get acquainted, and as I looked her over, (she was advertised as blemished), but I can not find a thing as yet. I am in the process of getting over bronchial pneumonia, and just now starting to get any energy back. So later today We will go out for a workout. The other new additions are beautiful and I am falling head over heels for this new addition. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gEsjfIbAM5a8VpdL9BPiA3T0wVD2No6-

RIb Eyes, mashed potatoes,and asparagus,for dessert we had fruit salad.

Well I did grab my SG and played for about an hour, that is all I could handle at this time. It felt great to pick p one of my babies again. Was a great boost to my wanting to get back 100%. Hope you all are doing well , it kinda sux that my wife has had to carry the mantle for the past few weeks, as yard work waits for no one. But she is a champ, and does not complain.
