Ummm, anybody ever notice my avatar?

full disclosure though - I'm planning a second edition that will be about 20% larger, hopefully this spring.

Can you elaborate a little?

He only started that journey an hour and a half before someone took that photo, I bet.

Did I ever mention I was named after Anthony Wayne, the famous Revolutionary war general?

Well.......he WAS born in 1745, so.......I certainly was named after him.

Sven, was caught in a hailstorm while driving his Saab home from work. It was pretty bad, and looked like the dents were going to be permanent. He took it to a repair shop and to his surprise, the repair man said, “you can fix those dents yourself, you know. Just blow really hard into the tailpipe and they’ll pop right out”
Ole happened to be passing by Sven's house the next day and saw Sven “fixing” his dents.
“WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO, SVEN?”
Sven told him about the repair man’s kind advice.
“Oh, Sven, he was really playing a cruel trick on you. You have to close all the windows first!”

Sounds like a very Saab story to me.

Good one. Um-hmmm.

Overall:

Sanguine - Highly talkative, enthusiastic, active, and social…

Yeah, I can live with that. Just look at my post count!

I've been trying..believe me

Choleric. Somewhat correct, I think.

Two old fellers met down town and were catching up since they hadn't seen each other for some time.
One says, yeah, I got a hearing aid and it is so great! State of the art technology it is so good I hear things I was missing for so long now.
Wow, says the other. What kind is it?

9:30.

Here is one I did of the path I take nearly every day on my walk. I was fortunate to get some reference photos at the perfect time. In only a couple of short weeks I don’t even recognize the same spot anymore!

@BigDub
Oh, man, hard to beat that one...

Thanks. I put quite a bit of effort into it, that’s for sure.
I had to go on YouTube, find it, and copy the link, and then maneuver it yonder to here on this here site.
I’m practically exhausted just describing my efforts, here.
Don’t answer right away, George. An old fella like me has to rest up a bit now.

Here’s a pretty fair job at a remote performance...if I do say so myself.......

@Dale-Proctor said in Trumpet Board Remote Performance:

I’m currently involved in recording a virtual orchestral performance of Christmas music (some of it quite complicated) that will be broadcast locally in December. Playing along with a click track/backing track in headphones is a bit tricky, especially when there are holds and ritards in the piece. You have to listen to it and play along numerous times to be able to anticipate what’s happening. We’re doing multiple takes of the pieces, so the recording folks can hopefully piece together an acceptable product.

Would love to hear it when it is released, Dale.

A UPS truck, a Propane delivery truck, and a tow truck all got stuck at the same time on my friend's steep and icy driveway.
I completely forgot the punch line, but it was really funny.
You would have liked it.

BigDub... Me thinks you were standing too close to the gas truck.
seems like the punch line might have had something to do with that.......it’s really funny, if I could only remember it

Ouch. Praying for a good result.

Wow. Sorry to hear that, man. I can’t imagine what you are going through
