Random Love (anti-rants)

[UnTucked]

A momentous occasion!
From the moment I knew we were pregnant 12yrs ago, I've been waiting for this moment… The moment to share my passion of music with my children. Well, the twins are in 6th grade now, and my son has chosen the trumpet, and my daughter, the clarinet. I'm immensely happy!

Our first video call trumpet lesson was today... Good progress was made.

Today's focus: Posture, embouchure, and "Concert F".

To save embarrassment, the guilty party will not be named.

Out of the blue, I received this Kanreki gift.

Black walnut aged for 10 years before being worked.  From The Yamagata Prefecture in Japan.

I have a particular fondness for turned wood.  These pieces simply defy belief, the quality of the workmanship is simply outstanding.

As with so many things Japanese, these pieces take mere function and transform them into art.

I am entralled and humbled in equal measure.

Thank you….

Gorgeous pieces!!! They'll look wonderful in your already amazing kitchen!

I actually put "turned" in that sentence to make it less risky that someone did what you just did…

^^well played.

the argument can also be made that Giles is a sick fucker himself for having the imagination to forsee a dick joke on the horizon.

[Giles]

I'm sick as fuck….

the prosecution rests.

Giles, my old man (who you met briefly a couple of years ago) is a wood turner. I'll show him these, he'll be very interested.

Also I dropped a quality dick joke on @rocket early today but it got no play. Too subtle obviously…  :-\

@rocket:

I have far too much fun with that tool  ::)

We've all been there… sometimes you just have to leave it alone though, otherwise you'll get nothing sensible done...

I think we are all sick fuckers.  First thing that popped into my head when I read this post a wood/dick reference joke.

beautiful pieces though.

If it gives you any comfort, I thought it was funny, neph.

I caught it, but let it slide…

If I go hunting down every dick joke in the forum, I'll never have time to moderate, lol
