Pappa !!!! I missed you.

Have had a few clients calling and telling us their "Stimulus Payments" are pending in their bank accounts. For those effected by layoffs they are on the way.

I saw 15. But then again Im blind in one eye and cant see out of the other.

Seriously Pman ? Or are you doing a late April fools. :)

Love ya Bart !!!

Meow !!!

The Mute button is your friend, like someone else mentioned above. That easy.

MAGI !!! Baby !!!

Another BOC classic !!!! Bucks Boogie !!!

I love the night !!! BOC !! Great Lyrics and guitar work.

So true !!! Im with my wife almost 24/7. I guess Im lucky she puts up with my ass.

To all you youngsters out there. This is George Harrison !!! He was a Beatle, if you didnt know that . The album 33 1/3 came out I believe in 1976 and is a wonderful album. Many hit songs on this record. This is one of my favorites off of it. Cowbell, Baby !!!

Boy Im glad as a child of the 70's, I played in the dirt, ate dirt, licked my hands, broke thermometers and played with mercury, ate dandy lion peddles, clover, and had a chemistry set with toxic shit in it. Knock on wood, I should be immune to crap like this. Its all these kids growing up in "bubbles", Im worried about.

Good luck. Like I said, the front fusions are pretty routine. My first two were out patient. Not trying to scare you, but just be prepared for the bones below and above to start to go. Yours may not. This is shit they didn't tell me prior to my first surgery. But mine had to be done. And it sounds like yours does too.

I see your in Ohio too. My lower back fusion is going to happen at Grant in Columbus. My cervical fusions were done at Riverside, St. Elizabeth's (all in Columbus) and last at Cleveland clinic. Who is the surgeon and what hospital ? After my first and second cervical fusions, I was out that day !! Hell I walked into Wendy's and got a meal. Its not that bad. My last cervical fusion after I broke shit apart, well that was terrible. The head of neurosurgery at the Cleveland clinic did that last one. Only surgeon who would touch me, it was that bad. I have a 8" scar down the back of my neck. And it hurt like hell !! The front is easy peasy. Just listen to the restrictions.

Be sure to ask questions. Are they using cadaver bone, hip plug, synthetic bone ? Research the procedure online. Get second opinions !! Newsweek did an article about these fusions. May be able to find it online. They became more common after the Gulf War. Soldiers carrying all that gear were cut on the most. The article is about questionable results. I know !!! If you do have surgery, be sure after recovery to not, I repeat, do not do crazy strenuous stuff. After my second cervical fusion I built a garage and broke everything apart. Not fun.

I have one of the titanium plates they removed from the second fusion. They had to remove it and put a different ones in. I will take a picture when I get a chance and put it on here. Very interesting. And I told the surgeon I wanted the old hardware. I paid for the damn stuff. $5,000 for a piece that has maybe 50 cents worth of metal.

Been there done that. Im fused at 3,4,5,6. Had three of these damn surgeries. What they dont tell you is once you get one area fused, the ones above and below that area are under more pressure. And they can go bad. Thats what happened to me. Now Im having major lower back issues. Looking at a L4,5,6,S1 rods put in. Been doing shots to get by. Sucks getting old !!! Hang in there !!

You always new it was MacDaddy shooting at you !!! All you saw was his head from behind a wall. KillRoy was here was here !!! Use to call him that all the time.

Mourning Windows !! What a groove on this tune. Gets your foot tapping right off the bat !! On of Nuno Bettencourts side projects. Crank this up really loud !!!! I mean real loud !!!!

Would Be cool !!! We are old enough to remember the original Doom, Wahoo. Can we say "dial up" everyone ?

The Coop !!!! If you ever get a chance to see Alice make sure you do. Great show !!! Great musicians !!!

Fender is bringing back the STRAT !!! Made at the famous Fujigen factory in Japan. They have made many hi end guitars for other manufacturers plus their own FNG line. Crazy quality !! May have to preorder a yellow one. They are also re doing the Fender Lead II and Lead III, the original Leads came out in 79-82 if I remember right. The original Leads where made in USA. The new models in Mexico. I own 5 of the original US models. The pickups on the vintage US models where Seth Lover pickups. He designed the original Gibson PAF Humbuckers (1st ever humbuckers). PAF stands for patent applied for. The Fender Leads pickups are extremely hot and many modern actives do not come close to the output of these vintage.

Running stuff in admin mode also fixes a lot of issues. Glad you got it going
