Our school did not have an orchestra, only a band. There was a double bass hanging around but that's it as far as string instruments go, I think it was mostly used for our jazz ensemble. That was fun to play and felt pretty comfortable, so I've always been kind of looking for an electric cello. The full size acoustic ones are so big and louder than I want, especially if I was learning and living in an apartment.
In 6th grade when I first started, I really wanted to play the violin. I’m left handed and being public school they didn’t have anything south paw. The violin felt so tiny I thought I was going to break it. The bass was already claimed but four bigger guys. She handed me a cello and it felt natural. Learning to play a right handed cello allowed me to play right handed guitars later on in life. South paw just feels so weird.

Speaking of risks for older guys, I had to have words with the young man shoveling my driveway yesterday. He wanted to do it his way instead of as I wanted it. I like to shovel my driveway totally clear, bone dry, because it's a 25% grade and any frozen residue scares the **** out of me. I can't afford to fall and re-injure either of my shoulders, neither do I want to break a hip. I haven't been to the gym since January so my body is in no condition to absorb any sudden impacts with the frikkin ground, Hellooo! 
But this numbskull is going to argue with me that he has plenty of experience shoveling snow. I finally had to tell him that when I'm paying him I need it dome MY way. And he's no kid, either. There's something wrong with that millennial generation, I tell you. SMH

Really? Real mountain biking or just offroad-type mountain biking? Because maestros are usually not youngsters able to bounce back from an arm or shoulder or clavicle injury that real mountain biking might present. Seems to me that would be kind of ballsy for an older maestro.

I haven't shoveled snow in over 40 years. I don't think you can even buy a snow shovel around here. I'm good with that.
If we get snow, everybody just stays home for a day. It just magically disappears by the next day.

Curious if you've ever used this site for sailing gear: Sailing Equipment, Parts, & Supplies | Vela Sailing Supply
Company is owned by a very good friend of mine. Their running rigging work is on par with APS (RIP).

Nice! Always better to do the right thing and sleep well at night.

APS was a terrible loss. We loved their store. I think the only custom work I got from them was a beautiful set of tapered spin sheets. These days, I get all my rigging from a buddy whose boat I used to race on and has a day job as an engineer.

Many years ago I got a penicillin shot (I think?) and almost passed out. It was weird. As far as I know I'm not allergic.
