Happy Sunday, our heater fan won't turn off and it is blowing cold air even when it is turned off at the thermostat, and my car with less than 60K on it threw a check engine light yesterday. I gotta figure out how to shut this damn fan off first.

Here is the pillow in action. lol Note the beachball type valve. I wasn't sure if it was safe to force it in, so I left it sticking out. Will need to read my instructions. I have one of the Trekology pillows that is easy to fill and release air from, but it started leaking. it won't last the night anymore.

Lip contortions lol. Seriously; I was in an accident and broke an arm and couple ribs, so I couldn't play for a few months, healed up and started again. My "lip" had gotten out of shape andI couldn't play very long til I got it back into shape. Thought my face was gonna fall off, most of the facial muscles ached lol
Lol. I watched my son struggle with that for years, he also played trumpet. The technical term for that is embouchure...

Looks like I need to go get some chicken wire to tack on my garden fencing. Roxy has decided to use the garden as the offroad section of her race track circle through the back yard. I get the feeling it might be a loosing battle with the way she can jump though...

My chocolate lab, Mocha, was a back yard dog. When she did get in the garden, shit got broke. It wasn't until a couple of years before she died that she slowed down enough not to be a danger to everything around her.

Did dishes, laundry, cleaned the house, went grocery shopping, picked up grandma's meds, ran errands for my sister and spent like 3 hours trying to fix this PC. It was literally crashing like every 10 min, I think I have it fixed now.
Oh that's good! I spent the day getting new cell phone service. What a freaking nightmare.

Lol. I forgot all about sucking on a new reed to get it wet.

25 cents each unless you bought a box.

I'll bet they cost more now.
I was so terrible on the sax they moved me to oboe (after marching season). I thought sax reeds were expensive until I bought oboe reeds. That was the point I started making my own reeds, they were even worse but cheap.

It’s funny how dogs are...our Doberman would avoid plants and see bushes etc., where as the shepherd would just bust through everything and paid no attention to flowers etc.

I de-seeded some White Cherry Truffle buds (seeds are F3), and sampled some Tartar Kush x Huckleberry Kush 2012. I also scraped the last bit of Tartar Kush F2 pollen into a baggie, and stored it in the fridge. Tomorrow morning, I will be watering my plants with the first batch of aerated tea I've ever made. Should be interesting...

Wow, we didn't even have an oboe at our school.

I was just OK in the school band.

Me and 4 other guys had a dance band for a while. We sucked but it was fun and we could do 4 or 5 easy songs to keep people interested.

This is a great example of the role the embouchure plays in producing sound on a brass instrument. The bugle has no valves, no moving parts at all. Yet, this musician is able to produce several notes at different volumes, and even add some nice vibrato, strictly by controlling his breath through the varying tension of his lips. Pretty cool...
