I don't think you'll be disappointed whatsoever.

Enjoy!

When you think you're going down for the last time, could you give me an indication where the estate sale will be and when? I assume you didn't tell anyone what you paid. I need an oval cheap, but at 67 I can't wait too long.

Cheap??:)) The bad news for you is like the say , Only the good die young. I'm closing in on 69 so It will probably 30 years or so until the estate sale . I'll probably forget where I put it someday anyway :grin:. Hopefully I will learn how to play it by then.

Lou, wtf happened to the gibby fern?

I sold that way back, maybe 3 or more years ago when my tremors got too bad. Since I had some nerve blocks in my neck and got off the bad meds for the Essential Tremors. My Tremors are very manageable. I even had a Cochlear implant done. I'm hearing better. Finally back trying again about 2 months.

As my grandpa used to say, getting old's a bitch, unless you consider the alternative.

My goal is to have my skill level stay ahead of my physical decline. That's harder all the time. Yesterday I found out two carpel tunnel surgeries in my future.

Ah Lou, you're old enough to be my older brother! I'm closing in on 64, I bought a Weber Bitterroot oval about 2 years ago, so I can assure you that you will enjoy yours also! I love it more each time I play it. :mandosmiley:

Hey Brick, I've had two operations for carpel tunnel, it was a very positive outcome. All problems solved and no negative consequences. Any operation can create anxiety, but I can assure you this one is nothing to fear.
Best of all the numbness left my fingertips and I can play for as long as my wife lets me without any problem.
If you're interested, I made a series of videos of the healing process to record the recovery time.
Here you go...
