The 3520B(lues)

[bob svoboda]

Gloating and sad at the same time (sung in the key of bummer)

I got the news and I was feelin' ok
My 3520B will be here next Tuesday
I checked my schedule and my heart took a beating
I'm booked all week at out of town meetings
(chorus)
I got the blues
I got the Mustard Monster blues
It'll get here without me, I don't get to choose
There just ain't no fightin' those Mustard Monster blues

I have several more verses, but I can feel everyone's sympathy flowing already so won't go on.

Woo Hoo, DOH!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Bummer Bob. I know what you mean. My first lathe came in while I was out of town for week long meetings.:mad:

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Congrats on the new lathe Bob!

[Terry Gerros]

I don't know guys....seems to me what a wonderful thing to look forward to on the return home. Hmmmmm, now let me see what is the FIRST thing I am going to do when I get home.....sorry honey, I got to open that crate.......what, you already did that for me? Put it together?, sharpened my gouges?, have a blank ready to go?....hot coffee next to the lathe?are those my favorite cookies sitting next to my coffee?.....what??? am I in heaven.....

If it could only be that simple..........

[Bob Borzelleri]

This is one of the reasons why I highly recommend retirement. :D

[Steve Schlumpf]

Now you write a verse...

[Joe Scarfo]

Roses are red
And violets are blue
At least a monster
Is on it's way to you

You can be sad
But others would be glad
Because you get home
A big smile will be had

You can make a bowl
Practically big as you want
Complain.. no way...
Complaint I shant...

You should enjoy the new toy
Like a shinny new boy
Smile and love'em
It's gonna be a joy


Enjoy the new toy... I've been wanting one for years... this year, braces got in the way for my son... Next year it'll be his car...

Hey Bob,

I don't live THAT far from you, have it delivered to me and I'll have it set up and ready for ya... with coffee and those cookies. :D:D

[bob svoboda]

Hmmmmmmmmmmm....Might have to give that some thought. Thanks for the offer though.

[Ted Alexander]

The important thing is that you will have the new lathe soon.I just got one before Christmas after using a General for 20 years. I love it !!!!! It's like being born again. I'm turning things now I only dreamed of trying before. The only thing better than having "The Monster" is being RETIRED.............and having "The Monster". (Believe me.......I KNOW.

[Richard Madison]

Bob (and others) that's pretty good. Just need to buy a guitar and learn three chords.
