Yep so anyways
ima dated member with some unavailable parts namely my arthritic left thumb & right hand fingers
yuk yuk haha
can be real hard to stroll somedays and flutter me tounge too 🙂

hey, sharing is 4 caring *
down the sailing club earlier talkin’ to me old mate, he’s pushing seventy and plays in four bands, jazz guitarist
some time back – maybe a year or so – he almost had to give up jammin’, that is as his thumbs were riddled with arthritis
lotsa pain especially on back of the [guitar] neck for him, which was certainly pretty depressing all the while
howz about that i says matey, how come you are playing heaps now old cobber?

y’know i’m thinking about giving this sax thing up, no body ever told me about all the buckets of spit
yikes, whatever will become of my fave blue suede shoes?
or wow how hard the intonation is once you can even get to stumble thru some scales huh
plus my hands are aching in the joints big time and likely gonna cramp me style later

so he shares a little secret i’m gonna relay to you now, namely

he gets lotsa bones and puts them in a steam pressure cooker
only about an inch of water over the top of the bones ok
any old bones will do he reckons, lamb, beef whatever
although he says kangaroo tail bones were a bit more stickier and worked pretty good

what you’re looking for is the bone marrow to make gelatin for the cartlidge
righto then, steam away in the pressure cooker for about thirty minutes
let cool and be bloody careful before you take the lid off fellas
pour the liquid in a baking tray, then into the fridge
next, hit the bones up again a 2nd time, same again, drain into a tray and put in fridge

later, get an egg flip and take off the fat that has collected on the top of the tray(s)
some times he uses fat that as a frying oil no worries about the cholestrol for him
personally i’d just chuck it
but what we want is the stuff left on the bottom

one mid sized steam pressure pot will give about ten or so tennis ball sized portions
bag ’em up individually and whack ’em in the freezer in another bag

add one tennis ball sized bag being to a pot stew, say, or in your cooking on a regular basis

worked for him – ‘the best sermon is a good example’
hope it might help us out
“old men are but twice boys”

rock and roll
