Today, we had to put my 14 year old dog to sleep. We've had her for 13 years (since i was 4), and i have very few memories without her. for those without pets, you may not realize the impact a death can have, but i tell you, it's just as bad as another family member.

she was in a lot of pain, and had crippling arthritis, we knew it was time. she went peacefully and without pain. i apologize for this unrelated thread, i just had to get it off my chest. thriteen years is a long time to know someone, i know i'll never be the same.
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.
