My euphonium is 36 years old and I bought it used 2 years ago. Brand new from the factory it had a satin sliver finish with silver on all the slide bows. I am sure it was a beautiful horn at the time. Now the satin silve finish is muttled,indistinguishable and worn in all the usual places. Most of the sliver on the bows is gone showing raw brass. It has small dents and dings here and there. It's old and it looks old. But, it has the finest mellow sound and plays better than any other horn I have owned. Every time I open my case and see this tired looking instrument I think it's the most beautiful one I've ever seen.

3 strikes and you're out (of money).

I like the smell of freshly brewed coffe,especially in the morning,but I don't like to drink it.

Goodbye miserable,oppressive,heat and humidity. I won't miss you.

Bacon. The perfect food.

Gaing weight and getting really fat sucks. Trying to lose all that weight sucks . There is no happy middle.

Excuse me, but isn't this what the "Update Update" thread is for?

As I slowly become the "old man" and see that the younger generations don't have the same values as I was taught I realize how right my parents were. God help this country.

If your gonna be dumb,you have to be tough.


I went to work yesterday wearing only a tee shirt because it was 60 degrees and had been unseasonbly warm for over a week . By the early evening the temps had fallen almost 20 degrees and it was windy. I like the cold ...a lot . But even at 45 degrees I need at least another shirt on over that thin tee shirt .

* - note to self ...... you saw the weather report in the morning and you knew it was gonna get cold dummy! Next time dress appropriately.


Happy Thanksgiving to all. I'm giving thanks today for the very good life my family and I have been blessed with.

^ That video has me concerned about your mental health Joe. I'm gonna pray for you tonight.

I'm not sure which is the most troublesome. The fact that the guy made it and actually posted it to Youtube or the fact that Joe knew enough about it to put it here. You should have your drinking water tested and your house checked for lead paint.
