    Awesome to hear!  My first bloodwork check at three months came back undetectable as well. 

    How are you doing on the recovery side?  Particularly “control”?  I’m pretty good for the most part but definitely prone to leakage when active. First time post surgery doing jumping jacks was hilarious. And then there are times I’ll just randomly leak. Those are frustrating to say the least. 

    I spent all the time I'm going to looking through old posts to see what your cancer is. I got shit to do. From the 05/15 post it looks like prostate. Control. Yeah. That's a thing. Learn what is going to make you leak and start doing a Kegel and hold it through the activity. Learn what sets it off. For me it's bending down to tie my shoes. It's been 10 years and I still forget sometimes. On days when you don't have time to deal with it (changing pants etc) put on a panty liner. If anybody in your house gives you shit about it show them the liner and strut around like Jagger. 

    Adopt a mantra, mine is "I don't have cancer. I don't have cancer". You can borrow that if you want.  I also like to chant "undetectable" and fist pump sometimes.

    Made some nice sous vide to seared pork chops which were finished in my perfectly seasoned cast iron skillet.  My wife did the dishes.  I needn't say what happened next.  Stern words were had though.

    If she can wield that skillet you best be judicious with the stern words.

  3. I'm an old band guy. Long ago before dj"s.  A million frat parties. New Orleans Club, Jade Room. Club Saracen. That was all great...but...it was isolated...for the most part indoors. This by way of saying I'm not opposed to music, but not on every damn corner! When I'm on the trail I want to hear the sounds of nature, not some up and coming band that may, or may not, be in tune. I don't care if they're on a cool floating stage. I want to hear the birds! The Trail of Lights has been completely ruined by turning it in to an outdoor concert. Enjoy the lights. Enjoy your fellow walkers and the Spirit of the Season. Leave off the loud music. Every event or Grand Opening doesn't have to have a band. 

    Signed,

    Old Band Guy.    Emphasis "old".

    You were probably high.

    On a side note, I spent hours and hours and hours as a child sitting in front of our big stereo console that was like a piece of furniture, listening to the red and blue Beatles greatest hits albums, reading and singing along with the lyrics in the liner notes.

    I could never find an exact match but the stereo console looked something like these:

    It's the tubes, man. Nothing sounds as good as tubes. 

  5. I took my grandkids to see Little Shop of Horror off broadway a couple of weeks ago so the Feed Me Seymour comment made me smile. The woman who played Audrey was hot af and had a voice the match of Ellen Greene, and that's saying something IMHO. The next night we went to The Met and saw Madame Butterfly. Third time I've seen it and it still makes me all weepy, but hey, it's Butterfly. What cha' gonna do? You don't weep at Butterfly you got no heart, maybe no soul.

  6. Well, now I feel guilty about shaming you into yard work. If you got any energy left after dragging those hoses all over the yard I'd be interested in your thoughts on the machine and the zapping and all that.

  7. What to hell does a symphony conductor do? I know he stands up front and waves a stick around, and makes SRV faces, supposedly to keep everybody in time. I'm thinking that if you're good enough on your instrument to qualify for a symphony orchestra aren't you good enough to stay in time? Seems like dead wood to me.

  8. Will this take care of the fight between the G and B string? If so it is a miracle. I had always heard it is because of the tempered scale of guitars vs other instruments. I should post on "I did not know that" thread. I'm going right now to get my SG and a file.

  9. Click on over to the "I caught the cancer" thread. Ask how hard it is to take care of a colostomy bag. 

    Oh yeah, have the ball and chain go buy you some Tucks.

  10. Being a metronome is not a bad thing. Bands tend to speed up during songs and if a drummer can have them end at the same tempo that they started with, I would say that is a good drummer. Friend of mine used to say "Swallowed a clock". Charlie Watts was not a flashy drummer, but he kept the rest of the band on the same tempo. In some ways he "made" the Rolling Stones. Ringo, too. I like Frank Beard a lot. Some unique riffs that are integral to the song, more than just a straight ahead 4/4.

  11. Please give your experiences and recommendations for locks, etc. for doors, double doors, French doors, gates, and windows. Not interested in alarm systems (already have one) and much prefer to not have to clean up the mess if I am forced to use my bedside table friend.
