Welcome back Joey good to know you're still playing. At 73, I only play to amuse myself these days as I gave up gigging after covid. I know how you feel about old age slowing you down, I can only do DIY jobs for a couple of hours then crash out for the rest of the day.

I`m supposed to be getting together with other players soon myself. Starting tomorrow.
Warm weather is coming. I love being outside. I`ve played with other`s at different times. Some say I`m hard to work with. Some say I`m easy. I`ll have to see how it goes.
I did play some sober open mic`s. It went well. Those are gone. The meeting house closed.
Obviously. I don`t have the energy I did a few years ago. Partly from health issues. Partly from just plain getting old. I`m still at it all the time.

I was just thinking last night about all the people that used to participate in the forum.
I miss Mojo (Joe B.) as well - loved his Texan drawl and great songs !
Take care, stop by often

The bread machine got damaged when I hit the brakes in my car one day. It`s gone now. It does live on in pictures.
There used to be a lot of traffic here. Those days are gone.

I don`t see much going on here lately. So I`m just saying hi to everyone.
To those I know personally. I got a stable bill of health. Not a clean bill of health. Far from it. I`m good with stable. Especially after what I was told over two years ago. You won`t ever see me drinking again.
Oh well. Self inflicted pain deserves no sympathy. .
I did have one good friend tell me that my attitude is what saved me. I told him I wanted to die sober. Then I changed my mind. I told him I wanted to live sober. I was good about the whole situation. Didn`t blame other`s. Kept a sense of humour about it.
I`m still around. Not 100%. Still holding my own. Still irritating Chris. We`re still together.
See some of you sometime this year.
