I had a friend whose solution to problematic car noises was "Turn up the radio."But I’ve found a solution - listen to enough loud music to damage my hearing just enough so I can’t hear it anymore.

I ruined my knees running, too.Eeek. That's my mom's knees right there. They click every now and then. My uncle gooched his due to excessive running. The constant impact from hitting pavement just wrecked his cartilage.
Hahahaha!! Thank goodness, indeed!!Look at the good side, Les. At least you can still REMEMBER that you used to be able to play.
You‘re welcome. That’s what friends are for.

I am sorry to hear that. Sometimes I have to force myself to play. Same thing with exercise, but after I do I feel so much better. Keep fighting the fight, cuz it’s not going to get easier!3 1/2 weeks ago I contracted Covid. It was unpleasant, but I've been vaccinated multiple times, and I had a very mild case. However, I didn't do any musical things for a couple of weeks. I was kind if listless.
When I got back to making music, I was working out some orchestral ideas and hardly played guitar. Today, I decided it was high time I practiced guitar. So I played my McCarty Singlecut (I had a dream about it last night, which was odd), and I played my acoustic.
My fingers disobeyed. It felt like I'd never picked up a guitar in my life, let alone played halfway decently. I could hardly do a thing. I was terrible, a no-sh!t-dick-tracy wake-up call.
I swear, the older I get, the harder it is to shake off the rust after even a short break away from the instrument.
You bet, and I am!I am sorry to hear that. Sometimes I have to force myself to play. Same thing with exercise, but after I do I feel so much better. Keep fighting the fight, cuz it’s not going to get easier!
I get anxious when I'm away from my studio, even on vacation.I'm so concerned about the onset of rust that if I don't get in at least 15 minutes a day, my anxiety level spikes and I become unpleasant to be around. Can you spray undercoat on the brain? Hmmm...
I wish I was kidding...
You got Ole while I wasn’t looking?Thank God Mother Nature vaccinated Ole Markie
There's irony in this 'life' thing, isn't there?I get it….not only am I old but after two shoulder surgeries,I was cleared to play…..wow, talkin rusty. Sucks …

If asked, most of us say that we want to lengthen our life span. We do all kinds of things to prolong our existence.
But no one actually wants to be...old. And for good reason:
It sucks to be old!.
We hurt in places we didn't know we had. We look terrible. We're no longer even close to the desired degree of hipness. People stop taking us seriously. We become professional medical patients.
The worst of it is that if our luck holds out, the steps we take to lengthen our lives mean 'old' might be our fate for a long time!
I don't know about you, but I'm disgusted by this state of affairs, and before I need diapers and a walker, I'm going to do a One Man March On Washington to demand the abolition of old age. I'm already working on the signs I'm going to carry, but it might take me awhile because I'm...OLD, dammit!
He's a very funny man. We scored a bunch of his commercials for Ford F150 over the years.Denis Leary had a bit about how smoking cuts years off your life. He said, "Yeah, but it's the wheelchair adult diaper years. You can have 'em!"
