    OT: New Music (Released January 2020 or Later)

    Digging the latest Crobot release ("Obsidian"). If you are into Soundgarden, Alice in Chains sound (like me), this PA band is worth checking out.

    He was a master of falling on his ***, I will give him that.

    OT: Your stories of a brush with famous people.

    Was staying at the newly opened Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas many years ago. My X and I were on east coast time so were pretty much the only ones at the pool at 9:00 in the morning. Some little guy comes swimming over to us to say hello. I hear the father calling "Wolfie" from the other end of...

    OT: Retiring early

    I was able to choose my expiring carrier Horizon and there were no problems with my existing doctors. I also had the misfortunate of coming down with a severe medical issue that required several operations and hospital stays at Hunterdon Medical Center. Again, no issues. Never saw a bill. On...

    OT: Retiring early

    Thanks. Not to brag, but I can play the lights out after 50+ years playing rock guitar. However, jazz guitar is a humbling experience. I'm getting some serious calluses on my pinky at least.

    OT: Retiring early

    Bababooey to you as well. I guess those $40k dental implants were worth it. Yes, I am now single and alimony payments ended thank goodness. Children are older and on their own. My taxes in Hunterdon County are $10k. NJ FamilyCare only looks at your past year of income and you have to renew each...

    OT: Retiring early

    I am almost 5 years into retirement having retired "early" at 61 by choice. I made a good living in the insurance industry for 40 years, always maxed out 401k/IRA contributions and invested 100% in equity funds until last 5 years before retirement when I switched to retirement age managed...

    Some thought Cliff should come off the bench…

    Great game by Cliff. Just wish he would refrain from sticking his tongue out after dunks. When you have a history of missing bunnies and bricks for hands for any ball below your waist, I find gloating over a dunk a bit tough to take. Anyway, I can live with it when he performs like this.

    Football GAME THREAD: Rutgers Football vs. Northwestern

    OK, I will concede that Michigan is a better football team than we are right now. However, seeing that scan of the students "singing" Mr. Brightside, RU/Jersey women are national champions in the looks department. Just saying...

    Football GAME THREAD: Rutgers Football vs. Northwestern

    I have found the announcers, Jason McCourty and Tom McCarthy to be great so far. Just wish they could bring in Matt Millen for a series to rant on the old cocknose šŸ˜

    OT: Guitar / Guitarist Appreciation Thread

    While my pro amp is a Mesa Boogie Rectoverb 50 (which I'm selling for $1k if anyone interested), my bedroom practice amp is an Orange Crush 20w. You can get some nice crunch and surprising volume at a ridiculous price point...
