Feadog D tube with a Whitecap head - just a great combo.

Too early! 6:00 a.m. when my son came over and asked me to help fix his S#*tbox pickup truck for the umteenth time.

Right here in Minnesota (on a few more acres than the 3 we have if I could).

Kind of working on it right now (3rd drink just poured)! :D

Name one song or tune, IrTrad or not, that you wish you wrote.
Anything that Little Richard did! :lol:

How many pets do you have and what kinds?
Our miniture Schanuzer "Duchess" died recently so, that leaves us with one cat named Bob, who I am thinking about stabbing with the small, sharp end of a Sweetone if she doesn't stop giving me "The Look" and leaving the room every time I start playing.

Stabbing cats that don't appreciate whistle music? Are they sharper than the small end of a Sweetone? :P

Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.

Re: OT: Are you bored?

Post by IDAwHOa »

What was the last whistle you played before you clicked on this message?

Actually I was playing two. My Goldie Low D and a Dixon High D.

What instrument do you wish you play?

I would like to play fiddle/violin. Tried once but did not put enough time into it. It moved with us more times than I played it so we sold it.

What's your favorite flower or piece of furniture?

I really would like to get a double reclining love seat for watching movies with my wife.

What time did you wake up?

Which time. The garbage trucks woke me up at 4:30 and 5:00 am. I got up for real at 5:45. I won't tell you about HOW I was woke up though. :boggle:

Where do you wish you lived (besides Ireland or under the bed)?

I pretty much like where I live now. Maybe Southern WA or Northern OR.

Are you currently or have you been in the past 48 hours, drunk?

I have NEVER been drunk. Don't ask about other substances though.

Name one song or tune, IrTrad or not, that you wish you wrote.

Don't know of any that would make me that envious.

How many pets do you have and what kinds?

I have 30+ leopard geckos (wanna buy one?) and a friendly parrotlette (at least to me!)

What is a good use for a Cooperman whistle?

What the heck is a Cooperman?

What kind of a mood are you in?

Neutral. Waiting for it to cool off so I can work on our new path out back.

Did this help your boredom a little?

Not bored. I am home and goofing off now.
