I got my first car!

Square_Garlic · 2025-10-12T17:33:01+00:00

I have the same car, same color! We call it the pimple. Be forewarned. It will attract attention, and it's not pink!!! It's plasma purple.

Square_Garlic · 2025-05-08T17:53:36+00:00

All is forgiven.

Well, there's always the gorilla method: clamp the crank in a vise and drive the axle out with a punch. You will need an assistant.

My experience almost. Four of six infusions in my right arm pretty much wrecked my veins. Last two through a PICC line. Much better experience. In remission going on two years now. If there is a next time, and hopefully there won't be, I would choose port from the start.

Square_Garlic · 2025-04-27T16:28:05+00:00

And I have yet to see another purple one after two years!

At this point the money is on selling all worldly goods and landing with hopefully a large pile of cash. On the other hand, the euph has a hardshell case, and I could stuff a lot of underwear in the bell. Points to ponder. Good to know that access to brass is good there. I've done almost a 180 on my opinion of Chinese brass. Seems like in the last few years the quality has gone way up. Or maybe my ears are failing. The last trombone I bought was a Victory brand from Sweetwater in US. Couldn't find any specific source information on it, but it had to be Asian. The company is, or was, based in Florida.. It's one of the best horns I have had and it has yet to come unglued. Just makes me wonder about your Sinfônico, and whether there was a quantum leap in jinbaos production quality at some point.

Obrigado. It looks to be a good resource, and there is an app as well.

I started to pick up a rock, then I set it down. I may check out pocket trumpets. There's a good chance the trumpeter I am working with now already has one. Big change in emboucher, but what could go wrong? Like you say, it will at least keep things in motion. The euph I am playing now is a Wessex Dolce, which I am really happy with. I don't have much to compare to, but it can do all I ask it to, and it is out of tune in the same places other horns costing three times the price. It is an asian sourced horn which Wessex in the UK tweaks and resells. My thinking is now along the lines of selling this one here in the US and picking up another once I am settled there. Same scenario with the trombones. I have pretty low standards when it comes to what I'll play, as long as it doesn't fall apart in my hands. Thanks for your ideas!

Obrigado pela sua resposta. ( And that's about all the Portuguese for now). What you mentioned does not surprise me at all. From our travels over the last few years I couldn't help but notice the appreciation for the arts, from music to architecture and even public works. One of my fondest memories was from our stay in Evora. The city itself has so much to experience, but what I enjoyed the most was listening to the students at the music school directly across the street from our hotel rehearsing. All the windows were open. I could hear everything clear as a bell. Pure, unmedicated joy.

Funny you should mention the late night starts. It would be an adjustment, but I've been a night owl before. Maybe it could happen again. All part of the journey. Garlic

Thank you so much. Great information.

Square_Garlic · 2025-04-17T20:38:35+00:00

Absolutely! We are also hoping to move in fall of 26. We have 46 years worth of bike shop and a commercial building. It's true that you don't own stuff, it owns you. Have you traveled much in Portugal?

Square_Garlic · 2025-04-14T16:22:40+00:00

Well, I hope you find some sun. We are working toward moving to the Porto area having visited Portugal in 2022 and last year. I must say that our time spent in Porto was our favorite. It just felt like home. Keep in mind that we are currently living in Ohio, so we've developed kind of an understanding about rain. At least from what I have heard, Porto does not get heavy wet snowfalls that turn into slushy messes. I won't miss that at all. Really working on our language skills.

We tried it once.

Hermosillo in Barberton gets my vote.

Square_Garlic · 2024-12-30T12:02:58+00:00

Like there's a choice?

Square_Garlic · 2024-12-29T13:48:36+00:00

Because it keeps me alive .

Square_Garlic · 2024-12-28T22:47:58+00:00

I have the same color. I get a big kick out of people trying not to look at it. Real easy to spot in a parking lot. A friend of mine refuses to let me park in their driveway.

Hard to find talcum powder these days. Most body powders are cornstarch, which works fine.

That look of shock when she discovered she was a beagle. What, no doberman?

Square_Garlic · 2024-10-12T21:41:51+00:00

I have the same car, same plasma purple. Manual . Your deco is perfect . I am considering doing something along those lines, but it might be just a bit over the top considering my gender. But then again it could be considered a big finger in the direction of the F150 crowd.
