    Default I pulled the trigger again. Hope this isn't a blank this time

    After the disappointment of not getting the Eastman MD 614 . The MASS multiplied 10X.

    No! The only way to be safe is to get if off the continent. I’ll, reluctantly , make you safe from it.

    Enjoy!

    Nicely done! I know you’ll enjoy that more than the Eastman. 69?-just a pup......
    Thanks

    Several mandolins of varying quality-any one of which deserves a better player than I am.......

    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 . Hopefully I will learn how to play it by then.

    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.
