... Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 mmmmmm, Ric-Flavoured Kool-Aid. Does it come in grape? Congrats on the new gig, Flank. Hey moot & Flank - is that your doggie in the window? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cthulhu Fhtagn Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Yeah, I had. The "jam" band I was in and out of for the last four years was classic rock. Lots of 12-bar, lots of ii-V-I, lots of A-D-G. Everything in "G" ... 3 - 2- 1- and." Looks like I might be picking up a classic rock gig with my pals from Prosser. I imagine that sometime soon I will be expected to try and sing. Problem is I have a three note range and it's all in the wrong key. FWIW - I changed my avatar because the old www.columbiajazztrio.com website is no more. My avatar was linked to that site. Since the only decent pic I had in Photobucket was the doggy head ... FWIW - Doggy head avatars are the shizzle, yo!!! Soon EVERYONE will have doggie head avatars. The next avatar? Mine is going to be the Kim Kardashian sex tape, and Moot's is going to be a syringe of gamma-globulin. Ew... Moot - Fine example of canine flesh. Yours?

Cthulhu Fhtagn Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'll have to confer with my associate. BTW, Nuts, two things: 1) you can get the Ric flavoured Kool-Aid in any flavour you want. You'll have to wait two years for it and it will be the wrong flavour. 2) The Chesapeake Bay Retriever Mix in the avatar is named "Nutmeg". We call her "Nuts" for short. Because she is.

Bizzaro timing Flank. I'm meeting a roofer in the morning and the name of his company is, I crap you not, Nutmeg Roofing. That is a great looking cat Tater. I share space with one named Zoe.

... Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 He's one of three that are mine - his name is Miles. He and his sister Ella were a package deal that joined the existing one called Spazzi. We also have another one called Frank living with us at the moment. He's my parents cat. They're on vacation for 3 months which is why he's staying here.

Tom Capasso Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 No pets at the moment. I had a dog as a kid, and we had two cats for most of their lives - they were sisters and very different from each other. One selected my daughter, the other my wife as their significant humans. My daughter now has her own cat - a mostly black with white one named Buster. http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t217/tom_capasso/family/M59.jpg http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t217/tom_capasso/Kinal%20SK5-B/3edb.jpg Quote www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.

Cthulhu Fhtagn Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Change of Subject: Going up the stairs at work I pass the drummer from the C&W project that I'm on forced haitus from. Didn't recognise him from the lack of the Zildjain had. Got to the first landing and he turned around and said "are you a bass player?" I said "Why, yes I am, Buddy." (he goes by Buddy). Turns out despite the fact that I'm the only one in the office that looks like Freewheelin' Franklin, (a nickle to the first to get this refernce) he just now recognised me. Ran into him a bit later in the hall and he complained that my POP entry didn't include my cubicle number (insert Iron Maiden "Number of the Beast" reference here). So we walked to my cubicle and he saw the poster for the upcoming hugh jazz gig and asked me to e-mail it. I find out he's the lead CAD Engineer and hasn't had contact with the band since the week before I was sat down. I'm kinda glad I didn't taint punch him. Maybe some pickup work is in my future...

Tom Capasso Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Moot - she was a bit chubby for most of her life, but by that picture she'd developed a tumor in her stomach. It got to be the size of a softball but was inoperable. When she lost much of the flesh around her bones, we knew she was doing much worse. She didn't act much different (though became less active and was about 15), but we put her down soon after that. Flank - looks like your good taste in avoiding my suggestion was the right way to go. Nice! And you have a new acquaintance at work, who clearly is buried in his technical world and needs the human contact.

moot Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Still agonizing over the choice of cheap back-up bass. On one hand, the Ibanez is more or less a known quotient because of the SRX neck which I have played on other Ibanez basses. It's comfy and fast. On the other hand, I would love to get my hands on the Yamaha but after calling literally every music store within 100 miles I find that they are not to be had. "We can order one for ya!" Duh. Last night I got all the way to the checkout page with the Yamaha but something stopped me. The GAS is killing me! Agony! Aaaaaag-go-neee!

moot Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Sorry bout the dog Flank. So, I got ahold of a "product specialist" who couldn't come up any nut width info on the Yamaha and I cannot stand wide spacing. I give - the Ibanez wins.

Cthulhu Fhtagn Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Hey, as dogs go, she had it made. Caring pet parents, regular visits to the vet, a big, fenced yard full of ground squirrels (grrr! Mowing the lawn was ALWAYS a challenge!) No info on the Yami nut width? Nuthin' wrong with Ibanez. Rizz: That's a cutie!

Tom Capasso Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Thanks for the kind wishes - she's gone a few years now, and her sister the black one a few years before that. We kept her sister alive too long - she had some mix of diseases including feline HIV, and was incontinent all over the basement rug for a long time. The vet said she wasn't in pain so my wife didn't want to put her down. We had the carpets professionally cleaned, but if you put anything down on one of those spots for a long time, it isn't good. I recently had to move my stack of music stuff on to one of those spots. I got a 4x4 oak ply board, routered the edge in a round-over, put 4 coats of polyurethane on top and a thick piece of plastic on the bottom, and put that on the offending bit of rug. Flank - sorry about your Scottie - best of luck for what time is left. Tom Quote www.stoneflyrocks.com Acoustic Color Be practical as well as generous in your ideals.

moot Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Not to be insensative but, 'round these parts we take the ailing pet, a shovel, an axe and a rifle and we go for a hike. The last dog that croaked on me was a beautiful 18 month old shepard. I took her to get her fixed and after the surgery they couldn't stop the internal bleeding - after going in 3 times. Some mumbo-jumbo about genetic defects. I still wonder. Anyway, I was not a happy camper and was ready to tear the vet a new one but then I saw her crying over the body of my pet. Crying women get me every time. Quote "He is to music what Stevie Wonder is to photography." getz76 I have nothing nice to say so . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davio Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 On a lighter note: my para-schizo cat has started venturing into the living room when people are there after almost 3 months of skittish seclusion in the bedroom. She even sat on the couch and watched tv with the gf the other day. Once in a while she'll venture downstairs but not if she hears anyone in the house.
