My overall plan… is to use marijuana in place
But not cost effective until a good harvest lol…
Ive tried ariculartherapy (electronic impulse in ear)
Patches , gum, just staight willpower…
The electronic impulse worked the best…

We’ve never bothered to try, lol there have been times either one or both of us have had to slack off. Like down to 1-3 a day, lol but this is the first time to actually say ‘we quit’!
Using Ganja in place of cigs is our plan too, lol
Rolling our own with natural tobacco ordered online, is a LOT cheaper than buying packs at a store, lol we get 2.5 cartons for under $20.00. But need to quit for medical reasons…

i can’t believe the jets are winning @MoBilly , it’s surreal - time to watch football again
hah once you said drummer @Terpsnpurps I knew you were going to say tool, time to listen to some - hope everyone’s having a nice morning - I lucked out with the cigs, but throw some hash in it and I’m game

Plenty of ways to skin the cat , assuming that one has the desire / need . We both smoked for years ( non-filtered Camels ) , she passed in 2006 . I finally put 'em down for good 2019 . Did the gum , lozenges , patches etc . Aint easy & it’s like drinkin / opiates in that one either does or doesn’t . No such thing as in between . Starting to look like a reformed whore here dammit

So you can understand my level of talent… i can almost do that polyrhythm… most of it… when he goes to double strikes with each hand simultaneously offset is where he loses me
Good morning @hemp!
I’m just sitting reading about stuff I know absolutely nothing about but it’s music so it’s interesting.
Never messed with drums at all but it sure always looked fun.
There’s not much call for drums in a bluegrass band but I’d try jamming with @Terpsnpurps and @MikeyMeteor anytime.
Talent is talent. I’m sure they could find a beat that would work with what I do. We could lift the roof with some hard driving blues or classic rock.
