You can't go wrong with a musical instrument if you take a little time and learn some basics. Something you can do for the rest of your life and theoretically only get better at it.

The piano is a 1920 Steinway Model O, it sounds like angels singing!

Exactly! I’ve got a little piano, drums and guitar under my belt and would love to get back into it and get the kids into it!

My sister and her man bought a grand(possibly a baby) piano (they have LOTS of money!) LOL. Ill try and get a pic for you… it’s absolutely beautiful!

Brought back memories for me too. I was 18 when I told Mom I was buying a motorcycle. Think it gave her a few more gray hairs. LOL
My pride and joy, a Honda 1974 CB200.

I have a Suzuki 650 that needs to be triked, wanted one forever then aside from a few illegal rides I'm now too injured from work. It might happen this summer though.

After we got married, I wanted a new bike. Sat on one like this at the dealership and was amazed I could put both feet flat on the ground. I was on my toes with the 200 Honda. (I'm 5' 2")
It came with a belt drive which was supposed to be quieter than a chain so I bought it. LOVED the power and rode it as often as I could. Oh, and hubby bought one too, the following year, but his had a chain.
Sadly, once I had children I never rode again. Couldn't part with it 'tho and left it rusting in the shed until my nephew expressed interest and we gave him both bikes.

Yes I'd interested to know about that.

The girls do pretty well on their own with the self-water bases and continue to grow but I'm thinking that Regina in particular needs a little something more. Maybe they'd like more of the GH Flora mix or perhaps it's time to move up to late veg mix? Perhaps I need to get a bottle of the calmag. I've been using Bud Candy in my mix which I believe is mostly mag but not very much of it. I changed the RO filters recently so the water is as pure as it can get, perhaps too pure?

Aside from that I can't really complain much, they don't get a whole lot of attention while I'm busy with other things and Leia is the bushiest plant I've had so far in my brief experience.

Leia at 52 days is really thick and green...

Regina at 43 days seems a little droopy and wanting for something....

Minnie hangs in there at 50 days, closer to the light slowed down the stretch. She's my Fredo Corleone and as long as she behaves we won't take her fishing.

In my world music and weed went hand and hand. Unfortunately my hands don’t do what I want them to anymore so I have a closet full of wood and strings.

Hey I found a strain that would be perfect for your climate. It's called red pistachio auto. From reading it likes dry dessert climates only note in it is to give it shade on really hot days, it yields pretty decent from reading on it. I can pm you details of where to find it if you are interested, it's not my seeds, but they are a reasonable price for auto seeds with a guarantee of sprouting and if one doesn't sprout they will send you replacements. Let me know if your interested. Also it is a fast seed to flower time as well.

I haven't tried autos yet but there won't be any outdoor planting again until probably March.

Never had one. I have a Strat. I've had only a SG, Les Paul, and Strat for electrics and an Ovation acoustic/electric. My favorite was the SG but I traded it for a Mando (I wanted to be the next Steve Earle). Then I realized I didn't like playing Mando so I got the Ovation (still have it) and a Soprano Uke (still have it and a Concert). I got a few other goodies in that closet that I don't play with anymore LOL. Anyway enough of this. ✌️

Looking forward to seeing how you combat the high N dry out west with your grows.
Well my name's John Lee Pedimore😉

My wife plays that one on mandolin while I sing and play guitar, so fun!

My best vintage prize is a 1959 Les Paul Junior that a friend discovered at a pawn shop back in the early 90's. It's fair to say they had no idea, they sold it along with the amp for $400. It had probably been sitting in a closet since the time I was born. It sounds fantastic for recording but will never go to a gig!

My girls are growing but do have a couple issues, I believe I have a little bit of a calcium deficiency and the bigger fan leaves facing the window on both plants are curling up a bit. I wonder if the sunshine that comes through the glass panes is being magnified sort of like a lens? I went to our local nursery yesterday but they didn't have cal-mag. I picked up some Happy Frog stuff they had there but I don't necessarily expect that will be the solution I need.

Over the years I'd managed to avoid a lot of brushes with near disaster but things have changed a lot since back in the day when I started; more traffic, folks that shouldn't be driving and people on their phones. It was an unsecured load by folks that most likely shouldn't have been on the road that got me. There was one grainy photo of the culprits but they were never identified. My bike was totaled (2017 Ultra Limited I'd bought new). My wife had a Royal Enfield 350 and I rode it around town a few times post wipe out but now we've sold it too.

Honestly my 2 up cross country touring days were coming to an end anyway, being older I was beginning to have trouble with my hips and other things but sure didn't need it to end like that! Thank God my wife wasn't with me that day, it was just gonna be a short five minute ride.

Hoping you can get a successful surgery and help managing pain! 😥
