{{ **VBob** }} The beekeeping wassail was on 🙂 So I went. I like weird old traditions, and that definitely qualifies. It’s actually a condition of the land bequest that they hold one every year- for the next 1000 years at least… I didn’t realise quite how long it’d take to get the car clear enough of snow to be able to drive it, so I got there too late to help with set up. Oops. I was in time for hot punch and cake however, which is clearly the important thing. Oh, and 7.30am is not late at all by my standards- I don’t voluntarily get out o’ bed until the morning’s had a chance to get itself sorted out. I got up about 9.20 this morning, which is crack o’ dawn by my weekend standards. Happy sunday mumpers! ---

Mawnin all, **{{Bobbio}}** sorry Happy note the tape is pristine, literally looks almost new someone took very good care of it. I am stunned and think I found a place with the right deck, will call em tomorrow. FYI Ampex 456 1/2" x 2500’ Grand Master Studio Mastering Audio Tape. I think the tape itself is worth a small fortune. Hope everyone is as well as they can be Cheers **Jim** ---

Nah, it’s because I have a phantom piano. I want to buy an electric piano and put it in my bedroom, but my problem is that I currently have no way of bringing the piano home, because the store doesn’t deliver and I don’t have a car. (I don’t know if the piano would even fit into a regular-sized car, or if the piano’s light enough that I could even get it in and out of a vehicle.) _sigh_ ---

Why would anyone want a cabbage? Cabbage stinks. And I actually do know the answer to that puzzle. The answer to the piano puzzle is more difficult. ---

Home from deheathenization and have had **N.O.L.** OYKW has headed to his place to take care of some laundry. I shall head over there in a bit just cause. I may or may not spend the night. He has to irk tomorrow but I don’t even though probably will irk from the cave a little while. That’s the big excitement from south Jawja. ---

> [@EmilyG](#): > > Why would anyone want a cabbage? Cabbage stinks. You can make slaw out of it. Or Moo-Goo Guipan, however Rosie knows how to spell it. You take the fox and the cabbage across first, because the fox won’t eat the cabbage, and hope the fox runs away when you go back to get the goat. ---

every Moo Goo Gai Pan I’ve ever had has chicken, mushrooms, and mild peppers, but never cabbage. You’re thinking of Moo Shu (never question a Jew on Chinese food) 😉 😛 ---

My little duplex has too much musical stuff, have a disassembled Wurlitzer in my kitchen, the road case for it in my bedroom, a Hammond organ, 2 tube amps, 2guitars and a Bass in my living room also have mics, cables and stands just about everywhere. I want a Nord C2 and a motionsound leslie but I think I will have to get rid of some furniture. Oh wait I also have another tube amp in the kitchen it needs an A6EU7 and it will work. Ok I need to get rid of some of this stuff. New band starts to practice next Tuesday. Sorry to blather on. **Jim** ---
