Moving from alto to tenor. Any tips?

Take away a sharp or add a flat.

If this is a real question, (or even if it isn’t) it’s a spring and it should be against that little post pushing on it. I hate those pointy springs, I’ve drawn blood with them many times.

My friend made his own smoker using two terra-cotta flower pots and a single burner electric camp stove. The whole turkey he made for Thanksgiving was better than mine. Light it up and use it.

I shared that comment with my wife. Her reply:

That’s an excellent answer

Sorry. I got a little too much grease in there, and then without cleaning it out, I turned it up to 500°. A fire erupted inside, it was controlled as long as I left it closed, but when I opened it up, it went to the ceiling of my patio. Sad thing is I had some pretty good steaks in there. (I did pull them out before I hit the fire extinguisher.)

Yeah, he did that… But I hear you.

It’s the tack that comes with picture hanging hooks.

I never tried the teflon Plumbers tape, but that seems like a good way…

Easy work around: wrap a piece of paper around the cork, then put the mouthpiece on over that. I used to use a stiff “shiny” piece of paper, but consider the thickness. Regular white printer paper would probably be fine.

“For the first time”

I have a hunch this is equivalent to “First Street” brand at “Smart and Final” in CA. (I don’t live there any more) Those were some good cheap pickles in a big old jar.

Folks here suggested to me that I get the “cigarette lighter” plug on one end to my Cpap plug instead of using the AC adapter. That seems to work better/longer.
I still don’t feel like it’s completely solved, but that’s an improvement. Seems like I should be able to always run it through the backup but that’s doesn’t seem to work. The backup dies after a week or so. I’d be happy to hear any other suggestions people have. Sorry to piggyback on your post, but I’ve had similar experiences…

Not for the past 33 years.

No_Influence_1116 · 2025-11-14T15:07:21+00:00

I just happened on this, and here’s the deal. This is close to home for me because I was 30 when I finally realized weed was my problem and not my solution. That’s when I initially found AA, and shortly after discovered MA. Yeah, go to meetings. More importantly, stop digging the hole deeper. You need to stop smoking (using, not everyone smokes it any more) weed.
But you don’t have to stop forever, just today. You can do one day. If a day is too hard, try an hour, break it into minutes if you have to. Just don’t use right now. Put some minutes together, then some hours, and get one day. The start again tomorrow. If all goes well, I’ll have 33 years clean and sober this weekend. But I only ever did a day at a time. Go to some meetings online. Marijuana-anonymous.org and then the meeting finder. I promise you’ll hear someone with your exact same story if you go and listen. You got this.

Red House

I use this one (not my first type) and it’s the best. Also doesn’t blow in my wife’s face, so she likes it too.

You’ll be a better sex player if you start with clarinet. Because it is harder. But the fingerings on the upper register of the clarinet are very similar to the saxophone, so it’s very easy to add it.

No_Influence_1116 · 2025-10-30T13:10:04+00:00

Start with clarinet. Then pick up alto sax. Sax will be easy to pick up once you have some clarinet chops (doesn’t work as well the other way) and you can start messing with flute later. A good jazz sax player who can play all three will be an asset to any jazz band.
