This dome of high pressure has been squatting over the Gulf (Guf) Coast for two weeks now, keeping our daytime highs above 100.
My niece Phaedra and her husband, Pete, are at our beach this week for a vacation. Pete's a boater.
Pete and I found some wind out on Mobile Bay yesterday - enough to get my 26 foot sailboat rockin' in the groove.
A 15 knot breeze had us reasonably comfortable - fortified by lots of ice water and a couple shots of Captain Morgan Rum.

I shot an 80 in 100-107 degree heat. The ball was flying long and straight for a change. You have been updated.

I am thinking about entering the world of fretless bass.
Frets are for sissies; real men play fretless.

But if you're not going to fret over your bass, what ever will you post about here?

Fret not thyself because of evil men, neither be thou envious at the wicked: For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out. << Proverbs 24:19-20 >>

Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. << Psalm 37:1 >>

At least you could increase your chances of matching the pitches of many tuba players and trombonists.

Vibrato covers a multitude of sins.

UPDATE:

I like pictures of Jaco more than pictures of food, beer, or even girls swilling beer...

Is that why most baritone players have a vibrato/tremolo that would put most Leslie cabinets to shame?

They're just like soprano singers (and stopped clocks); a wide and fast enough vibrato, and you're bound to be right sometime (twice a day)

"Consistent" isn't always "good", is it?

I got the timing belt, water pump, and some gasket in the front fixed, and they are going to be looking at the A/C tomorrow (driving in the TX heat is getting worse and worse...)

Air conditioning work? There goes all hope of staying under $600...

Oops! Forgot what forum I was in.

UPDATE:

A/C work is expensive, and for no real reason other than it is.

fwiw, I own one of these...Besides the pick-up that is built into the bridge, I added a Schaller magnetic pick-up on to the end of the fretboard. I play it through my old '75 Ampeg flip-top tube amp.

Is that the same scale as a "standard (aka 3/4) upright bass?
