Retired

No, It was just him, (McCartney and Linda) with a band. I'm 70 now and can't remember dates, or what year we saw them. I do remember that the concert was for some Anniversary we celebrated and it was at the other house we were at at the time. We've been at this house for around 28 years but I couldn't tell you how long we were at the other one. (I had a brain tumor cancer way back in 88, that screwed up my memory. Sorry.

Anytime he comes to Omaha, we will go and he travels with great people.

Can't remember where we sat but we had a great view of the stage.

This one cost $649.00. I listened to it on the net before it came. Not disappointed either.I like the Baritone tones and the Piano type tones. It has good sustain also which I like. I played a Jet as a kid in school. One of my favorite guitars to go to. Deb talked me out of all my guitars when we married because the house was small and no room for them. I really liked the semi hollow Gretch I had but our grandson kept asking for it so what do you do? I cleaned it, set it up & put new strings on it and took it over for him. The same time, I gave our granddaughter my Vintage modified Jaguar and our son the Eipiphone Standard. He wanted it. I wasn't really planning on any more.

Deb & I saw him 4 times now. 1st time in Aims Iowa way back. He had Linda with him. We saw Ringo 3 times with his all star band. Never disappointed.

Another way to look at it, "IF two of them could come back from the dead, The 4 got back together and had a world tour, How many of those concerts would be sell out crowds and hit headlines every where? And that would be today, Not Yesterday.

Lol, got that right. And I didn't know that Gretsch came from China. The new guitar that Debbie bought me has made in China on its back. I loved the finish on it and it sounded great. She bought it from Sweetwater, Thats a first ever from them. It's a Jet, single cut with BRISTOL FOG finish. I loved that wood grain finish with a black burst.

High Sgt. Actually, we drove down to Georgia to rescue this Show bred Doberman and his first year has been a kicker training him. Oliver has been the most unusual Doberman I've ever trained. He gets so wild and crazy and demands all your attention. I told my wife, if I had known in advance, I would have named him, "WILD THING' from the Troggs. I can't play my new guitar Deb gave me with Oliver there. He's my shadow. She bought me a new Gretsch Jet. It has an unusual finish. Rob put a photo of it on the Epiphone Lounge in "Whats on your mind". Not the best photo of it though.

Took the words out of my mouth. More affordable guitars for common people. Epiphone did it, good quality for cheaper prices.

I don't do fries much anymore. Used to do ketchup on them, Yes BBQ sauce is good on fries. I just dip the tips.

At first I thought you hated the Beatles, Lol. So I checked in the thread. Don't think we get Beetles here? At least like you do? We do get Locusts. Oliver has been smelling some dead ones on the patio wondering what they were.

Ketchup? Rarely. I like trying different BBQ sauces. AI? I do love it. Don't like Heinz 57 but Deb loves it.

We took a bus tour up that way many years back but missed seeing that. I was born in Sewer City Lol. (Sioux City Iowa.) Parents moved to Council Bluffs when I was 2. Lived there till I was 26 and I moved to Omaha Nebraska where I have been ever since. Learned to play guitar at 13 by my 2 cousins. One played in a band. The Ventures inspired me. Played most of their songs.

That sounds good also. I just can't drink it strong or plain.

My wife's favorite also. She saw him once but I never did. We weren't married yet.

Back when I worked at BNSF, I got hooked on coffee. One cup in the mornings, still do. I tried a lot of coffee pots and grinders. I just pour 1 scoop Amaretto in the filter and a tad bit of Coconut creamer in the top of my mug. MMMMMM!

Just heard it now from Sgt. That is a long life and very few get there. RIP.

Wow, that's a lot of rain!

So sorry of your loss of Maggie. Its like losing a family member when a pet goes. We lost Sundance twice last year. We were doing work at the rental house and brought him along. His breathing became laborious and then died on the floor. His tongue stuck out, eyes shut, heart stoped no breathing. I thought, lord, This is how Sundance is to go? I pressed on his chest a few times and he came back. We had him a few months when he got real sick again. Took him to the vet and they told us he had several problems and suggested he be put down. That was very hard to see him go.

I hear you. Oliver was constipated for a day. When he pooped, It was like a Cow. Twice. lol.

Good for you. My wife ordered a pet box to come once a month and he looks forward to that. That is where he got a taste of a Salmon dog treat. Liver also, makes dogs go nuts. When I showed them, I made liver and tore it in small pieces and put it in a plastic bag the day of the show. Made them show their hearts out. So when Oliver got a taste of Salmon. He figured that was the food he wanted to eat. It was 99% Salmon. Expensive to buy though, so we just mix a handful in 2 cups of his food. Now he eats fine.

Love daisy, Our neighbor has one & walks him by our house every day. Beautiful.

We have to let him out before the storms. He won't go out in any rain. That said, I learned a trick when I used to show Dobermans. All the people who showed dogs did this and it works. If you know your dog has to go poop but refuses to because of weather, put a wooden match stick in their butt and release them outside. It's something to do with the surfer on the match. Drives them crazy till they poop it out. At dog shows, no one wanted a dog to poop in the ring in front of the judge so the match stick rule was always used outside before dogs went in the ring to be shown. Works with every dog I've ever owned. Even in the rain Lol.

He shared some interesting stories, Lol.

Crowbar, There is a true story about a young couple and a cat. They both worked at Burlington Northern Railroad when I did. Anyway, the guy had a hilarious story. He was always telling me about their sex stuff. He did weird stuff like put bandages on his penis and say, OW OW Dobbie, Kiss it. Anyway, He said he was making love to her and his balls must have been shaking. The kitten was behind him watching and they did not know it. The cat latched all its claws on them and wouldn't let go. I was laughing hysterically Ha Ha. He hollered to his wife, "GET HER OFF! GET HER OFF!
