My high school Music Theory teacher and Orchestra conductor, Bill Staebell, was a bassist in LA before he moved back to Buffalo to teach in high school. He was my first bass teacher. The very first thing he taught me I still use some 40 years later. On the lower, wider frets, use your ring a pinky finger together. I do this and it makes playing the bass easier and more enjoyable (with someone of my limited hand size). The only songs this doesn't really apply are songs played by Geddy Lee. Natural Science for example.

I love the RedZone channel. I've stopped the Multiview and switching between games. If the Bills are not playing, RedZone is on the TV all day.

There is no pre-season on TSW. The doubting and doom is in mid-season form already.

I'm here for the comments to follow. GOLD JERRY, GOLD!

Did they quietly get better?

The Mrs. would be slightly disappointed?

Decisive

They got that wrong because the BIlls press release said the standing Buffalo helmet will be against Atlanta and Tampa Bay

The Bills will wear their red helmets for the Week 18 game against the Jets to celebrate the final regular season game at Highmark Stadium, allowing fans a chance to relive the nostalgia before Buffalo opens new Highmark Stadium next year.

The Bills will also bring back the 'Standing Buffalo' throwback uniforms twice during the 2025 season. These vintage uniforms, with the bold, red Buffalo silhouette on the helmet and classic jersey color scheme, are a nostalgic nod to the Bills' rich history and passionate fanbase. Buffalo will wear the throwback jerseys with the standing Buffalo helmet for their Week 5 MNF at Atlanta and Week 11 vs. Tampa Bay. The Falcons already announced they will be wearing their red-helmet, black-jersey throwback uniforms against the Bills. https://www.buffalobills.com/news/they-re-back-bills-announce-return-of-red-helmets-and-standing-buffalo-throwback-uniforms-for-2025-season

My wife and I played a golf tournament yesterday. This guy had a white Cybertruck right next to my car. He was with 3 other guys. He won a couple of basket raffles, and was taking the baskets to his truck. He opens the lift gate as I was walking by, golf clubs were already in the back, and I had to say, "Are you sure all of that is going to fit?"

The trolling by the Bills media team is reaching all time levels

But I try not to vomit...

I had gin. Whatever am I going to do now?

micro surgery these days is amazing

Notice the helmet placement...

It was the hostess that told us to look for an open bar spot.

BarBill in East Aurora is better than BarBill in Clarence, which is still pretty awesome. The wait in East Aurora can top 90 minutes. That's why I stalk the bar, and when someone gets up to leave, I move right in. The most I've had to wait in East Aurora is 10 minutes using that strategy. One time on a busy summer night, my wife, step daughter and I walked in, a party of 3 left the bar as we walked up. We sat down, total wait time, 2 minutes.

I was always in the camp that Main and Hamlin was better than Bar Bill. Bar Bill is where all the tourists go. Main and Hamlin is where all the locals go. Then in the spring I decided I would go into Bar Bill, and they were just a touch better than Main and Hamlin. The past couple of times I went into Main and Hamlin, I felt their quality slipped a notch or two. Bar Bill has always been consistent. Either way, you can't go wrong.

I live less than 5 minutes from Bar Bill, Main and Hamlin, and Prohibition 2000. I'm good.
