'Tis the price we pay for "stayin' alive, stayin' alive."

If your kitchen sink is too far away from your vented main drain, you may have a venting problem. We try to avoid putting excess grease down any drain. Put it in a disposable container and into the garbage. Your leaking hose valve may  be repaired simply by replacing the bib washer. But due to the severe winter we just experienced, your valve may have damage due to freezing. If so , I would replace it with a 10 or 12 inch frost free valve . which will require you to rework[shorten] your supply line. Gotta punt on . the power window. I would think if it were a fuse, more than one window would not work. Bad motor or broken wire.

Nice job B. V.  One of my favorite songs, and we all "miss someone."

Hi One#7,  Those beginning guitars can be rough on the fingers. As a youngster, I remember putting layers of fast drying glue on my finger tips. It helped and got me by and was easily peeled off. As suggested above, keep at it but maybe back off a little bit.

Hi Fire Art, Good idea to get those rural kids serenading the livestock. They say contented cows give more milk, so go easy with heavy metal. Good luck!!

Nice to have grandchildren that will perform with you. Some will and some won't. Keep it going fellow Hoosier (born in Rochester).

Way to go Andy. Who would have guessed that it has been that long for Britain. Cheers!!

Hi Collin,  I bought my son a FG750 for his 30th birthday about 4 years ago. Of the 5 various brand acoustics that I have access to, it plays and sounds as well as any. I think I paid $350 at GC. Set up properly, it will not tear up your finger tips.

Amy, maybe you are going at that painting project a little too steadily. There will always be painting and other projects to do. Play and "sing in the sunshine" while you can, or at least use the brush in your strummin hand.

Sorru Mekidsmom, I told my tale of woe in the wrong place. I have had only one adult ed. course in beginning computer. Remembered how to turn it on and not much more. I'll be learning by rote and will get better:-)

Hi new guys,
I am 68 and have been auditing and using Chordie for  a couple of years but I am new to posting. I have learned more here, than
I could ever contribute ,and 'chatty' belongs on Facebook. I have been playing "at" the guitar off and on since I was about 13 but have never been a performer. About 3 years ago I started playing with a fellow up the road, a seasoned guitarist, which has helped me to improve and begin to emerge from my shell. We play old rock, country and dance standards.  He is a snow bird and will return when the weather improves.  I commend you both , Russ for entertaining the "seasoned citizens" and you, John, for undertaking the guitar in your 60s. Take care,
Wayne

Another soulless individual, who most likely honed his skill with violent ,video games, got bored then decided to move to real weapons and live, defenseless targets. This has become more prevalent. Too sad for words.
