PJS I thought you were talking about the fish and figured my brain was gone. The older I get the dumber I become

Question. Do you pronounce the bass in bass fish and bass guitar the same?

One of the beauties of the English language; take your pick.

The musical instrument is pronounced "bās", same as base.

That's what I thought but my wife said I was wrong they are both pronounced the same (short a) and even showed me on a grammar website, where I was wrong. At least I know I am right in my mind.

Good morning All.

It was 24 when the dogs wanted to get up this morning. It started snowing around 9am. By then it was 30. The snow stopped around 1pm when the temp was 32. There was about 3” of snow with a little sleet mixed in. Now it’s raining and 34. That is the forecast high temperature for today.

Our driveway has a hill in front of the garage that faces northeast. Very little melting happens there. Since I had the tractor out clearing the hill I took the seat time opportunity to plow the whole drive.

Then just because it was going so well I did the across the street neighbor’s and the family next door!

Hope everyone is having a good day.

Frank

While not applicable to the bass example, throw in our local Hawaii based vowel pronunciations and even more fun.

Nah ... we need to start moving away from dirty fossil fuels now, while we have the cushion of existing resources.

We need judicious use of those old resources, conserving them for as long as possible ...



:confused2:

Pretty sure no other sources of energy can either ... :laughing:

How can you move to energy that isn’t self sustaining, perpetual motion machine?

In her defense, sort of, the word evolved from the Italian word basso (and the Latin bassus), which is pronounced with an "ah" vowel sound.
Still, not the same as the fish.

4 1/2 inches of wet heavy snow later, the driveway is cleaned off and the birds refed.
Not going to fuss with it since it's going to be 43 tomorrow and I will conserve energy and let Mother Nature do the work
Wood in rear of house look pretty.
