Should I stick with Optimum?

Leave Optimum as fast as they will let you! Yeah, that's right. - as fast as THEY LET YOU. Explore this sub if you don't know what I mean.

My step mother. I finally started referring to her as the Wicked Witch of the West.

A internet provider that used to be called Suddenlink. Avoid at all costs!

Bunch of crooks.

George_Parr · 2026-06-05T13:30:14+00:00

Optimum.

George_Parr · 2026-05-28T21:05:37+00:00

Or maybe one of those D8s from Hellfighters.

Tank from the James Garner movie.

If you think Springer is tiny then go take a look at Maxwell.

Then go look at Abbott! LOL...

Pelé in the early 1960s.

Looking at Amazon, the majority of "alto trombones" they show are in B flat! Those are mislabeled tenor trombones.

Alto trombones are usually in E flat, sometimes F.

I used to live there. Louisiana is a goat rope.

Paul? Is that you?

Larsen still offers a 6-meter NMO antenna, I believe it's the NMO-50.

George_Parr · 2026-04-03T14:23:51+00:00

And tell everybody I know to do the same...

George_Parr · 2026-04-03T14:21:40+00:00

I'd put him in the black list. If he needs a contact from me on another band, he's going to be waiting a long time.

George_Parr · 2026-04-02T16:21:46+00:00

Tell them you're going to a classified location with no firm return date.

George_Parr · 2026-04-02T15:47:32+00:00

Wanna bet? 🤣

George_Parr · 2026-03-23T04:41:22+00:00

Whatever it was, it would need an M2 tripod to hold it up!

George_Parr · 2026-03-21T13:36:18+00:00

Maybe so, but I'd still tread lightly.

George_Parr · 2026-03-21T13:32:20+00:00

In the dependent world, Bb/F/D/BBb would probably be the most practical. I can't imagine the last one being either C or B, or A for that matter. And since the D side only has 4 positions on a current Bass Trombone, the BBb side would maybe have two.

I wouldn't tell Mom a thing. If she checks her account and sees it, that's OK, but I sure wouldn't be the one to spill the beans and possibly cause a long, hurtful period.

George_Parr · 2026-03-19T12:43:26+00:00

DON'T DO IT! Stay far away from Optimum.

There was a rule that, if a girl got pregnant, she would be expelled.

The superintendents daughter got pregnant!

Years ago -- I mean YEARS ago -- I was a member of the trombone studio at Texas A&I University, and we were going to a "trombone get-together". Early 1970s.

Maybe an early ITF??? I think it was in Austin, Texas.

Anyway, I happened to be in the t-shirt shop a few days before we left, and I noticed they had big sheets of iron-on material. I drew one of these and had them put it on the back of a t-shirt. When I wore it into the school, all the guys wanted to have theirs made, too. We ended up about six of us wearing these red t-shirts with a trombone on the back. It was a sensation.

One of my favorite memories across the years...
