WillyBob Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 the boy is going to be so happy with me. I taught the kid how to blow a horn.One of those spontaneous moments... a cardboard tube . I picked it up and "trumpeted" it. Showed the kid how and told her when she can do it, I have a real horn... a commemorative Conn trumpet. All engraved. Should get her a "booboozella"/stadium horn, when we were kids. I inherited enough instruments to outfit a small marching band. My dad sold his tuba and other bass before I asked him for the jazz bass. I have an assortment of woodwind and brass. The base of a table I got from dad, is the bell of a French horn... Too small to be a tuba and too large to be a trombone 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBCODD Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Went to the circus last night with some friends from High Prarie, Alberta. Captain Ron, RCMP, Ret, and his wife; Outfitter/electrician/ret schoolteacher Bob and his wife (Ret Principal); and my wife. The show was outstanding. Set up in a large, climate controlled tent in the parking lot of Cardinal stadium, held about 2-3k people. Live music with an exceptional sound system. The acrobats were impressive. If if it comes to a town near you, don't miss it. Well worth the price of admission. (And the 100 mile round trip drive) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ordered some bulk ammo for the 9mm and the AR-15. It arrived yesterday and I thought I would try loading a 30 round clip by hand knowing I have some arthritis in both thumbs. Not an easy task but I loaded one. Then got on line and ordered a Maglula. The video makes it look quick and easy. We shall see. You will be thrilled with the Maglula. I got a couple a few months ago and they work the way they should. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I factor in what I know about musical instruments and "tuning" and a ton of variables appear... it gets messy. Not too good at reading and understanding. I'm a hands on learner. I might not be the brightest... but, I sure am slow. When I was doing a "proof of concept" on the blade control system for R/C helicopters... I increased the sensitivity of the controls by eliminating a lot of extraneous parts [and slop]. That cascaded into having to "adjust" everything else. Dampers, flybar material and length. Paddles or not. Weight of them. Blade length ..... Type of blade. I know we [as a general rule] do not care for "average"... Today's weather will be "average", and we will like it a lot. speaking of R/C helicopters... Y'all appreciate high performance. This is a factory sponsored "pilot" I have been to "the field" when folks were flying like this. I really wanted to be in a bunker. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillyBob Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 I watched a little of it. I can appreciate the skills involved. I don't play. All the golfing I do, is with my whip sickle. The technique is similar, Max head speed without too much muscling... I need to "play 18" every day for the next few. The rough is knee deep. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
