Aloha Teenster!

My Jeep in paid off and I'm not carrying full coverage so this is on my dime. Even if I'd had the coverage, it's below the deductible.

I should have left the top down...

[oldteen]

Good evening, Sir Conor! *hugs*

It's nice to see you!

Hope your day went well!

[oldteen]

My Jeep is paid for as well but I still carry full coverage just in case some idiot does something stupid! :) (CA is so overloaded with them kind! lol) And, it’s not much more then the basic mandatory liability.

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Teenie!

*HUGS*

A good day, thanks - hope yours was good as well!

Our school's varsity baseball team was suppose to play today but the field has about 4 inches of rainwater on it, couldn't mow or paint the foul lines...Wet Oregon late winter...

[oldteen]

WOO-HOO!

The BIG 50 without even tryin'!

[PROCON]

Hiya Darkwing!!

Thanks for your Service to Our Nation!!

What's up with you?

[ConorMacNessa]

Hi Army Bro! Thanks very much!

Not bad, thanks. I've had a chest infection the last few days and have been on antibiotics since late Friday. They're finally starting to work.

By the way, I checked into the cost of Army-Navy tickets at FedEx Field - the cheapest I could find - end-zone nose-bleed seats - were $140.00 each. Guess I'll be watching from the comfort of my living room again!

That's some real pricy tix!

Nose bleed seats aren't worth free...let alone $140! To me, anyway! :)

[PROCON]

Just a little Red, White and Blue for your listening Pleasure!!..:=)

[ConorMacNessa]

I agree! The last time I saw an Army-Navy game live was with my father in 1966. We had East End zone seats in the old stadium in Philly - it was as cold as a well digger's @$$ and we had the sun in our eyes the whole second half. What an experience!

Good Evening everybody! It is Spring Break, so I have had a lot of cancellations. As a result, I have been able to practice more and become a better musician. Today I sight read Beethoven and Clementi Sonatinas for almost three hours. I topped it off with Mozart’s Sonata in C, something I have not attempted in its entirety before. It was a little clunky, but I made it through!

This may not sound like much to a Classical Musician, but I am a Rock Musician who plays by ear. I have only taught myself how to read music in the past few years, and so this was a very special day for me.

Next stop...Beethoven’s Pathetique Sonata! A big scary piece with a lot of notes.
