I can't wait until he visits. I'm gonna make him play it.

Why Jim, what a huge organ you have!

I never played. But I took piano lessons at a Wurlitzer place as a kid.

That looks like a nice one. It has lots of stops. Each stop controls a single voice that the organ knows how to make.

On electric organs like yours, they are the colored levers. In the big church organs they are knobs. Push them in to stop the sound (hence the name). Pull them out allow that voice to play. If you had all the stops out, the organ would be set to go as loud as it could go. This is what it means to "Pull out all the stops."

Yes, shaw, the living room is in front on the right. Theres a big working fireplace in that room.

I just realized that there was no dish washer.... meh

Yeah, I can't wait to get altituded and sit on that porch and strum my guitar.

Yay!

Holy crap the world is a tiny place. I spent an awful winter in Haddonfield once. The only saving grace was the little bar just over *there* in Cherry Hill.

Nice place Jim!

This morning, I went and bought a used washer dryer set for $325. Nice refurbished Maytags....they even match!

When I installed the washer, I realized that the plumber who put the new water supply lines in put in two cold water supplies. Doh! He will be out tomorrow to fix that and a slight leak on the cold water knob. The dryer came with the wrong kind of power cord, so that went on the growing list of things I need.

Then I went and collected my woodworking tools from where I built that deck. My new drill was missing, but Bruce has since located it. He was using it at one of his stores.

Then I had to go home(moms), drop off the van and borrow moms car so I could pick the kids up...went to Lowes for the dryer cord.....Back to moms, then amanda brought pizza over and we ate it.

Then I finished packing up my room, and loading the van with that stuff and the tools I had in her barn and shed.... Sat down for maybe 15 minutes, watched the closing scenes of Hunger games, and it was time to take the kids home again (10:30)

Amanda took them home, and I drove my ass back to NJ and unloaded the van. I'm fucking pooped. Yeungling time.

Cool Jim. I may have to make a road trip. It sounds like a slice of heaven, not to mention a beautiful gal who delivers pizza! Holy shit, does it get better than that?
