Cool Happy week...

Happy week.....

I'm enjoying my new Smith BSR5EG Zebra, WOW!

Cabela's (my home away from home) is having an incredible sidewalk sale: Around 80+% off of top-notch everything. Made a killing on some great buys yesterday.

I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend, however, I may go out and sight in my AR-15's.

The Texas Rangers are in first place as they head to Boston.

My dog's are happy and doing great!

My recent fuel fill-up confirmed 59 MPG.

All in all, I'd say this has been my happy week!

The wife, the baby and I will be moving in to our new condo in one week. Finally get to enjoy this whole property ownership thing. Quite a big step for us.

Now who wants to help us pay our mortgage?

Default Yeah for Tour!

My gig last night provided lodging at a nice hotel. My roommate did not snore, I slept peacefully and awoke to find soft towels and good coffee available.

Sounds great. No snoring; good sleep; a good thing!

Well, isn't this a happy little thread!
I suppose I'm happy because it's Saturday morning. I know that's not exactly up there with having a new bass or getting a big mortgage, or not snoring in a hotal room but, credit where credit is due, I am working on being happy.

I'm assuming that Brian's on holiday now. Maybe he needs to update us about his happiness levels. On second thoughts, he's probably out using the lawnmower. Maybe he's mowing the golf course. Oh happy days!

1. School's out for summer.

2. The lawnmower works beautifully, however we have had 2" of rain in the last two days- so until it dries out, no mowing for me.

3. I have repaired some school instruments- broken necks from clumsy children. (No repair money left, so it's up to me)

4. Haven't hit the golf course yet- too wet. But might make it to the driving range tomorrow.

Wishing I could go to ISB- but, can't get there. I am on staycation this summer.

I would say I am at a 3.5 out of 5 right now... not bad for the first weekend out of school.

Guys, this is a one and only life time event. I will not be able to drive to any other ISB unless it's as close or closer to this one!

I'm feeling very happy this morning. This is not the happiest I've ever been, but I am happy.
The cause of my happiness? Well, Brian fixed those instruments. I often have to fix school instruments too. I feel a kinship, like I am no longer alone. This makes me happy. Thanks Ken for starting this thread.

Nice sentiment, my dear friend.
Ridiculous amounts of money would make me happy.

I know, I know...

Fortunately, I have been to ISB before. Actually I performed a recital with my bass professor at the '97 convention in Houston at Rice. Trust me, I thought about driving up, but I just have too much to do here.

Ken- it would actually be closer for me to drive up to your shop. Just have to make the excuse to do it.

It's The Fonz here. Hey. So just don't sit on it, do something with it. OK Richie, Potsie and Ralph M.? I'm still looking for Joanie.

Thank you Anselm for the Happy inclusion in your friends post.

My day is ending happy. I've just purchased a late 60s-early70s JBL D140F speaker.
