I’d like to do this, it’s on my list.

What exactly is a longboard, is that like paddleboarding or surfing?

Aw… Hulk dad; the best dad.

Well here’s what I’m best at in life. I don’t really know why; I only play once a week these days. I powerlift 4 times a week, and I’m terrible at that by comparison lol.

Me and Frank Yang should do a combination concert/training session hahaha. If we could find a (very talented) piano player, we could do the Brahms Trio. That’s an awesome piece. And maybe also deadlifts or something to go with it. He wrote it about his dead mum, so that kinda fits.

Although I guarantee you Frank would find some way to incorporate a 12" black dildo into the mix. I’m not sure I’m as comfortable with that as he is.

French horn?

I know you mentioned performing Candide in another thread, how’d you get started playing?

My mom’s a music teacher, so it was kind of inevitable that I started playing in middle school. It’s gotten me to some really cool venues and experiences. Shame the job market (if you can even call it that) for a classical musician is so unstable. It’s almost never a wise career move so I just studied statistics and business and got a normal person job. Not gonna lie though if I could somehow line up wedding gigs 5 days a week I’d be all over that. Easiest money you’ll ever make wedding gigs lol.

Also please refrain from calling it a french horn; I won’t stand for it! It’s more German or Austrian than anything. Back in the day the French used to use a hunting horn that was larger in diameter than the British hunting horn, and when the stupid British saw the instrument I play for the first time they just started calling it a “French horn” cuz it was kinda similarly sized. It’s proper name is literally just the “horn”. Which is dumb as hell if you ask me, but w/e. That’s like making a car with the model name “Car”.

“Hey what kind of car do you drive?”

“Oh I drive a Car.”

That’s how I feel when people ask me what instrument I play lol.

I doodle a little
Read a lot…currently have 8 books going
starting to learn French with my wife
basketball
bushcraft stuff, especially tracking, which translates to hunting.
Canoeing
making custom knives
shooting
guitar and drums…although I don’t play either much anymore, I did teach myself both and played pretty much every day for several years.

I will take your request under advisement. Until then, I will call it the Freedom Horn.

As long as you learn how to fix quotes I am good with it

I dunno. That makes it sound like a cross between a speculum and a shoe horn . Creates confusion and might result in a disappointed audience.

Typically a longboard refers to a longer surfboard.

I’m obviously not Nards but here is a wine rack I made for customer earlier this year. Solid white oak, this thing must weigh 400lbs. Its about 72" by 50" or so.
