Congratulations!!

Favorite (although not major) all time GOT character Ser Brynden "Blackfish" Tully. Awesome one liners:

"As long as I'm standing, the war is not over........."

"I've had wet sh#ts that I like more than Walder Frey."

Sad that he was killed off, although, we never did SEE him die, did we...........

I'm curious what that contraption is on the tuning slide of her instrument.

Microphone transmitter? (or cigar case......... )

Top 10 is somewhat predictable but I find any top 50 list of Jazz Trumpeters that does not include Bunny Berigan as suspect..............

@Niner That looks like a wonderful day, grilling with family.

Just an aside, I recently bought an "Inkbird IBT-4XS" grilling thermometer off of Amazon which has solved any overcook/undercook issues I may have had. Monitors up to 4 meats simultaneously and can link to a smart phone...........I'm not a paid endorser, I just think it was a really cool purchase for someone who likes to grill......

Sometimes shady sellers can be quite crafty in how they word their description as well, such as adding "replica" someplace in the add using a 1 font.

Definitely a good reason to know the seller at least by reputation.....

@BigDub said in A little humour:

A man decides it’s about time he gives in and moves into a retirement home. He notices a woman staring at him as he gets settled in his room. Later, eating his meal he notices her again, just staring at him. She’s not even eating. Just sitting there. Everywhere he turns, there she is, staring. He finally can’t let this go any longer and decides to confront her.
"Excuse me, ma'am, but I couldn’t help but notice that you keep looking at me everywhere I seem to go"
"Oh, I'm so sorry, she said, I couldn’t help but notice you look so much like my third husband"
Now he felt a little bad for calling her on it like that, so he said, "How many husbands did you have?"
"Two"

After 34 years of marriage, my wife decided that she wanted a divorce.
I still don't understand why.
She received the final court decree on her birthday, April 3.

Because of my severe health problems,
I have spent 2 years desperately trying to get into a nursing home,
but I have been unsuccessful.

So I have been daydreaming about the above post event happening to me.

But what are the chances that one of the other residents is a slender 20-year-old lady who wants to date a 63-year-old who is near death and has no money to his name?

I am a romantic trapped in Stephen Hawkings' body.

I'm sorry for your hardships and sincerely hope that you soon find an arrangement that brings comfort to your life........

(........kinda puts a damper on the ole "humour" thread)

I have always considered "best valves" those that you would be hard pressed to make hang on the return, even with slightly imperfect technique (depressed at a slight angle perhaps) and that are not temperamental as to which brand of oil works well with them.

I think that most professional level modern trumpets that I have played meet these criteria as well as many professional vintage horns.

Awesome video, great song, thanks for sharing!!

Sorry for your loss..........

Happy Halloween !!!!!!!
