Looks like this thread is having a milestone of its own. It's about to go over 1000 views. I'm not sure exactly what that means, but I believe and hope that at least plenty of people are enjoying the respite this provides from weightier discussions.

Well, here it is - Post #13,000! So that's 1000 posts in about exactly 5 months. Doing the math ... 200 a month ... 6-7 a day on average ... Doesn't sound like much, but it adds up. More than I thought I'd be doing. Hope some of them have been worthy of notice.
Might be time to do more practicing and recording, though. As much as I enjoy talking about music, and stuff, playing it is better.

After 13,000 posts aren't you supposed to change your oil.
Every 3000, so I did it at 12,000. (Multiples of 3000 for easy remembering.) I'm good for a while.

I can only play half as much as I want, because I only play half as much as I would like.
Oh, no, sir. You are WAY too busy for that distinction. Go to the bottom of the page, click on "Member List." Then click on "Posts" once, twice. There are literally tens of thousands of members who have never posted. And I mean, 28476 of the current total of 53475 (at this time.)

I wonder how many you will have by Late Night Trashy Mandolin Music Day (Aug 5).
“Like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them. Now we face the question whether a still higher ‘standard of living’ is worth its cost in things natural, wild and free.” -- Aldo Leopold
I didn't know that was a thing. Unless I make a change in my lifestyle, continuing at my current rate I'd estimate somewhere around 13,333. That'd be kind of cute.
However, that's also National IPA Day and National Oyster Day, so my attention will probably be diverted elsewhere.
But this isn't supposed to be all about me. This thread is here to give anyone who wants to take a break from the usual serious discussions hereabout and announce some random, possibly dubious achievement. And do I ever miss the annual Dubious Achievement Awards published by Esquire magazine. They found some doozies!

More about Late Night Trashy Mandolin Music Day... I view it as something like Festivus, for the Mandolin world!

Aha! I see. THAT Late Night Trashy Mandolin Music Day ... or Night ... Well, that coordinates well with National IPA Day.

I think Late Night Trashy Mandolin Day/Night, IPA and oysters all go together pretty well in a somewhat strange way. I'd sit and listen to a string band, drink IPA and eat oysters that day with very little if any arm twisting
Alternatively, everyone could sit around swapping off between playing their mandolins together (in a trashy manner ), drinking IPA, and eating oysters. That would be another fine choice, IMHO.
Absotively posilutely! Sounds like a fine way to celebrate, or just pass a few hours. In Nah Hampshah, anyway. In Kansas, in those times, the oysters would most likely have been either not very fresh, or the prairie type. One would do well to avoid both.

I stumbled onto that thread last year and almost snarfed my drink!! Other than the blues, my favorite mandolin music is definitely late night trashy mandolin music. You are what you play?
Used to be a place here, had real cheap oysters - I forget, but they were really like $3/dozen. For Happy Hour they were a dollar off. So with a $2 beer - jeez, it might have been $1 - I mean, sure, they were pretty small, but not bad, not bad at all. A fiver would get you a dozen oysters, a beer, and enough for a tip. I miss that place.

Holy smokes, Sue! I see your odometer is about to turn over, your first thousand. Anything you want to say to commemorate the occasion?

Ha ha, you guys, I wasn't going to say too much. In real life I'm kind of quiet. And should I really have that much stuff to say about mandolins when I've only been playing a year and a half? I feel like I've made a pretty strong connection here, though, and that if I get traveling more at some point, there will be people that feel like friends in a lot of different places.
Great job Sue for reaching that milestone. It's fun reading your posts.
Took me a long time to get there. Then again, was on here in 2009 then disappeared (i.e. solely playing guitar) until 2017.

You ask a lot of questions too, often good ones, which shows you're putting a lot of thought into what you do. And also keeps the conversation going. Not trying to encourage you but also not trying to discourage you.
Best advice I ever got on the subject: Read more, post less. It's done me a lot of good over the years. Yes, even as much as I post.
And I'm not telling you that, to be clear. Just sharing for all to contemplate. Listen to the sound of silence.
