Everyone is touring summer gigs . Lol
Since unspeakable thing has been un-masked so to speak.
I had been on a long hiatus until I was likely forgotten. Lol
Glad to be back here. I intend to hang as much as I can.
I always have projects. Some music some home improvements.
I have been working about 3 weekends on my vinyl core flooring. One thing I learned , I'm never doing another.
Flooring in general sucks.

Oh…. I get the flooring deal. When we built our house, we did all the floor tile work. That was 2004. Pain in the rear. Back breaking. Was 50 at the time. But huge satisfaction when we got it all done.
About ten years later we helped a friend do a fairly small tile job. When we got done, both of us said…. Nope…. Never again. We both had hurts that had hurts. And you body doesn’t recover as fast at 60 as it did at 50.

I have vowed to retire from that and landscaping in my "new" retired life! Maybe a few other things as well!

My online life goes in spurts. I have definitely been online less in general, not just here, for a while now. Many reasons: Joined a band that needed a bass player and bass is way different from guitar so I'm spending a lot of time learning the bass. I started a full time job after 20 years of working from home. I like the job but it is tiring. I'm 68 and starting to slow down in general. I do login here most days and check out the goings on.
The nastiest job for me doing the 1600 sq ft basement over the last 2 years was installing insulation. R-19 and R30, had to wear long sleeve shirts, gloves, goggles/eye protection and a mask. Those fibers go everywhere.

Exactly the problem iblive. I did lots of work to my old pla e when we sold including the kitchen and master bathroom. I don't remember aching like now and that was about 2 years ago at 60.Oh….

Absolutely,
If you ever notice most of the dudes doing insulation are young men in their twenties Lol.
There is a reason for that.

No Tele Radios for me.
Just working a ton at the real job, and perpetually burned out. Didn't help that I caught covid at Frankfurt Airport on my way home from Germany, or that the hot miserable weather and drought have been wearing me down. Still trying to get the kitchen finished, but waiting on contractors to finish the last bits. Yesterday, I got the outside of the house looking like it wasn't abandoned. When I get time in the cellar, I try to play a guitar or two, and stay off the internet. Wish I was doing like Tony, and riding my motorcycle, but the bike lift (and bike) has been turned into a catch-all poop magnet for lumber and other stuff for the kitchen renovation. Looks like another year of my life is slipping by.

My wife thinks I'm still thirty, and can work 70 hours a week along with a million different projects around the house.Oh…. I get the flooring deal.

The only projects I want to do after work are:
Open a beer, fire up the grill, and play my guitar.
And maybe go for a ride on a motorcycle.

You didn't happen to run into Cadorman and Boo while you were there, did you?
Yep, I paid a contractor to do the R38 from the underside of the basement for the flooring (I just did the exterior walls). Was 4 20 something’s in spacesuits.
