Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Piano Tuner-Technicians Forum OT Paging Jerry Groot (and any one else living in the Northland)

Was all ready "PACKED" up and ready to go too!
Just needed GOOD directions to your lake Jerry, & water.
Notice the YELLOW SUN, cause there are "7 months of winter coming!

Don't forget to wear your seat belt

Hey Daryl, wonder if you'd need a "seat belt" for THIS!
Guess when the weather gets TOO HOT, you resort to some water activities!

And if a piano falls in the FORREST, does anyone HEAR IT!
Or it that saying "Money doesn't grow on trees, but PIANOS DO! . . . or something like that!

With all that water you might want to protect your investment
with some Rust Oleum

Well, I'm baaaaaaack! Had a great time up there, did some fishing, caught some "fishes" too! Twas fun! Great camp fire time too.

Now I don't feel so stupid anymore.......





I keep getting this error message and I my disk just won't go in!



Ummmmmmm..... OOoooops!



If you start doing this, perhaps it's time to retire while you still have some dignity.

Welcome back Jerry, bet that cottage is keeping you "buff"!

Not only will you have to have the strength to "lift" pianos,
and tune them, you'll have to become a "trapeze artist"!

Look up, wayyyyyyy up! Then don't look down!

As I was saying, Don't look down!
What do you do if the sheet music "flys" off!
