Homeskoolin’ Bonus “Grounded”

Chapters
00:00 - Going over the GTO


Notes
Poor Marshy got himself grounded by his dear mom and dad for some careless behavior on his E-bike the other day …

not allowed to ride for 2 weeks…BUT if he goes a good deed, like wash one of dad’s old cars for example…it can knock a day off

Friends, I cannot tell you how ELATED I am to be back among the living …I am not yet what you would call “100 percent”, but I have come a HELLUVA long way from multiple days of dry heaving every 20 minutes in some uncomfortable hotel room in London

Thank you guys again for all the support, well wishes, and donations to the channel

It REALLY MEANS A LOT to this broken down old guitar slinger from the Great Lakes area


Details for the car guys only :
1967 GTO Convertible in Signet Gold with black interior

52k original miles

I am the 4th owner

Car is original and numbers matching …I have all paperwork, original window sticker and all PHS docs

400 V8 with Hurst Dual Gate (his/her) shifter

Spent most of its life in the Ft Collins Co area


Ps…I know I’m showing the plate number in the video, I do not give a fuck

and probably even more that I am forgetting at the moment …

all the bloody details are all in the video friends…and the reality of it is probably even worse than i am depicting it…but I’m trying to keep the show PG rated

Friends, I am sooo glad to be back in the states I cannot even tell you in words …even though the heat and humidity here is so absurd that one can only find it comical ….it’s embarrassing to even step outside and admit the fact that I even live here …that also explains the completely ridiculous fan noise from my AC unit in this video

and for you numbers people out there, when i left for London I was 6’2” 235 pounds…today I am 6’ 2” 220

Big love to all you Homeskoolers

Onward and Upward

Notes
Fresh off the round two relapse of his mystery stomach illness , Uncle Larry is absolutely THRILLED beyond words just to feel good enough to get into some heavy guitar repair at the old work bench.

I really don’t think it was that new parasite that’s going around that got me friends , because I researched that and i did NOT experience the “hallmark symptom” of that illness at all.

But Lord Knows…I’m just glad to be up and around , although still a bit weak and sore.

I’ll be back to my old jaded pissed off self in no time my dear Homeskoolers, just in time for a little trip to Abbey Road.

Thanks so much for the kind comments in the recent videos, it really cheered me up when i was able to read through those …you guys really are sweethearts.

Totally unrelated, if anyone out there on the west coast has a totally straight no monkey business 67 or 68 Marshall Plexi head, dear friend of mine, who happens to be a legendary rock star, is hunting one

It’s just gotta be right folks…no changed trannies, no extra holes, no silliness.
I don’t think he cares if it’s a 50 or 100…
Let me know what ya got people

Notes
Uncle Larry tells the class about a cool new device that one of the class members made

He wants to call it the “J-Zinger” because his name is John.
He mounts a thick ass bass string along the edge of the pick that produces a really cool array of sounds depending on how you strike it or swipe it.

Just be nice and send this sweet guy 20 bucks and he will make you a cool pick and send it to ya in the mail. You can tell he puts his heart into this shit, that’s good enough for me.

It’s a good thing to do for everyone friends .
