11. Great piece... Had a bagpipe moment over the weekend. Not my best, most tolerant moment.

Went like this...
I keep a small sailboat on an inland lake. I drive 2 hours to get there. So life in the burbs is noisy. I'd like to wind down, but there are a few locals who didn't get enough attention as an infant that have to cruise through with loud pickups, loud Harleys, or loud boats.
Well been working on launching preps for a few weeks and this powerboat with loud pipes will always sit and idle, for a LONG time. I swore next time I'd have a surprise. So as he sat at the ramp idling again, He was greeted with bagpipes as loud as I could crank them. Shouldn't be proud, but I did get his attention.

Stunning, Xipe. Had not heard it before... Hekate Jun 2019 #1
