Peter is heading towards Wellington tomorrow and intends to arrive on Sunday. Actually, Wellington is cold enough for a hat like that at the moment. It could work on Cuba Street. Anyway, your first job is to find your parking space when you arrive. It might not pay to look like you've just flown in from Alaska.
I wonder if we'll get a final post today?

Robert is an AI fan who would like to be the pope.
After all the supposedly false things that someone wrote about the pope using AI, I thought he'd be avoiding it now. But no. Just like Trump he's using AI to look like the pope.

I've got to get a lot of practice done today. I only did 15 minutes yesterday - it was a busy day at school. I'll aim at doing at least 1 hour and 45 minutes today. I see that the PBs are having a jam and that Rob is practising blues scales to get ready for it. If he wants to go that way, he'd be better off practising major and minor pentatonic scales, though major scales would do the trick well too. Ah well, it's his business.
Personally, I'm getting ready for a folk gig. The music will not be hard, but I want to do a good job. Folkies tend to use the first 6 modes from the major scale to find their chords. I'm practising listening for these chords - it's a good exercise. In C major these chords would be C Dm Em F G7 Am, but they could require transposition to any key - remember that folkies like to use a capo on their guitar. One never goes wrong giving one's ears a workout.

I feel like writing a song about Peter coming to Wellington.
He hopped in his car,
He was going far,
He listened to Duke Ellington
On the long trip to Wellington.
He'd break up the trip, at some mo',
With a night spent in Taupo.
He listened to Duke Ellington
On the long trip to Wellington.
He'd get to the capital before dark,
He had to find his car park.
He listened to Duke Ellington
On the long trip to Wellington.
This long drive required grit,
He had a carload of unnecessary shit,
He listened to Duke Ellington
On the long trip to Wellington.
He'd stop for a pie and
Thought about Rob and AI.
He could always wear a
Silly hat if he popped into Moera.
His jokes would be new he
Thought, if he popped into the Nui,
He listened to Duke Ellington
On the long trip to Wellington.
Ciao tutti.

I guess that a discussion on scales is doubly appropriate on a bass bag post.
I'm all packed up and about to head off to Taupo ("kick 'em up the dorpo" once said another humour challenged friend). I'd planned for a 9AM start but The Old Girl rang this morning to add some items which meant emptying out the car I packed yesterday and starting again. Oh well, only 20 minutes delay I guess. Time counts though when you are trying to save Wellington from cultural decay.
How can we ever repay you for that?
😂🤣😂🤣
Peter, "I have a dream!"
Richard, "Wake up, old man, you're supposed to be driving!"
Robert buckles and returns to AI.
You made Robert go away again. It must have been the ‘buckle’.
Ah, it's getting close to the time when I remove him from my LINKS list.
Are you in Taupo?
Robert has a lot of posts on Facebook with AI pictures of himself in biblical costume under the name of Roberto Testore (stolen from me). Why doesn't he use the name Jesus Christ?
I am in Taupo. I’m driving to Wellington this morning.
Because he follows the Ten Commandments and believes that would be a sin.
“Why doesn't he use the name Jesus Christ?”
Give him a hammer and a bag of nails. It’ll only be a matter of time.
🤣
