Who says you can't teach an old tuba player a new trick.

So I had some trouble with my generator earlier this year. With a call from Teach and some other help on the board I got it running great by cleaning the carburetor. So I got to thinking about the old mower sitting in the corner of the yard. It was doing the same thing two years ago. Couldn't take it out of choke, and it would bog down and stop almost every time you engaged the blade. So I bought a cheap one and shoved that one in the corner. Today I thought why not clean the carburetor? So I did. I had to make two gaskets, but I got it clean, and running pretty good. It is not running perfect, but it is running a lot better than it did when it went out. So now I got two mowers. Good times. Thanks guys.

I did that last year. Only took me 20 years. Started on my fifth.

That's what makes me a master. I have four under my belt.

Well, he's a few notes ahead of this guy!

That means you can play OOOM-PAH-PAH in different keys! Now that's advanced tuba playin'!!

All the usual jokes aside, I once knew a tuba player who could play "Flight of the Bumblebee" - at full speed. With good technique. It was pretty impressive.

Yep - it was about like that. I wanna say that the guy I knew was a bit lower, but it was many years ago. The memories fade, they fade...
