Along with Bonita's wedding ring.
It's nice to hear that I'm not alone!
Boy, did I feel stupid after I realized I was plucking the wrong string....

Yep. And the entire time you're tuning your ear is saying "there's something not quite right" but you go ahead and do it because those little green lights on the tuner are telling you to.
When I was a teenager, trying to teach myself to play guitar (yes, they had guitars back then!), there were no electronic tuners. There were tuning forks, and pitch pipes, and pianos to tune by. I didn't really understand all the theory (imagine that!), but I did learn how to tune my guitar to itself, one string to the next to the next.
It may have been WAY out of standard tuning, but since I was playing by myself it didn't matter....
Thinking back on that now, it was sort of too bad. I had no idea what "keys" were, had never heard of a capo, and had no concept of transposing. I knew some basic chords, and had some fake books. If a song I wanted to play was out of my vocal range, as printed, I just gave up on it. I had no idea you could make it fit. MAN, that was a long time ago....

I love smart phone apps for tuning. So handy to have with you when you've forgotten your tuner.
On my mainland I leave my tuner on. It's a tiny one I got from UU. You don't even notice it's there.

I have one of those tiny ones on my Big Island, and I really like it. I may buy another one for the Eastman.
I have a tuner app on my iPod Touch, but I don't always carry that with me....
History query of you ancient and venerable PoHonians...
Who or what is "Ahnko Honu?"

Ahnko Honu (Uncle Turtle in Hawaiian), is, or at least was, a UU member. Great guy. I know he had some serious health issues a few years back, and I've not seen him around in some time. He was one of the original denizens of this very thread....

It's been quite a day. In the seventies. Lots going on all day.

I started out by getting together with my son for my usuall walk around the park. When we were through walking we went down by the Salt Creek at the same park and then hiked around the grounds for a bit. Then we finished that outing by running his RC cars in the parking lot.

Then I returned home. After noon we had my sister, my son, my daughter and her family over for dinner. Probably four hours including visiting. Now I'm recovering. Happy but a little tired.
Sounds like a great day, Rob. Were the R/C cars gas, or electric?
What kind of car did you get, Mandi? Moving out has to be very exciting....

I'm so excited to move out! I've been living at home for almost 4 years. Hopefully this time I won't have to move back.
