I enjoy that is just doesn't sit in the museum waiting for race day.

Here is something you may like but never heard before

I saw something for the first time this year at a crawfish boil. A bunch of people were wearing disposable gloves. It looked strange but I can appreciate why they did it.

I can never tire listening to Genesis Its like life blood in musical form to me Thanks Mike 🎶🤟

Along the Forest Road, there's hundreds of cars - luxury cars. Each has got its load of convertible bars, cutlery cars - superscars! For today is the day when they sort it out, sort it out, 'cause they disagree on a gangland boundary. Yes, they disagree on a gangland boundary. There's Willy Wright and his boys - One helluva noise, that's Billy's boys! With fully-fashioned mugs, that's Little John's thugs, The Barking Slugs - supersmugs! For today is the day when they sort it out, sort it out, These Christian soldiers fight to protect the poor. East end heroes got to score in... The Battle of Epping Forest, It's the Battle of Epping Forest, Right outside your door. You ain't seen nothing like it. No, you ain't seen nothing like it, Not since the Civil War. Coming over the hill are the boys of Bill, And Johnny's lads stand very still. With the thumpire's shout, they all start to clout - there's no guns in this gentleman's bout. Georgie moves in on the outside left With a chain flying round his head; And Harold Demure, from Art Literature, Nips up the nearest tree. (Here come the cavalry!) Admidst the battle roar, Accountants keep the score: 10-4. They've never been alone, after getting a radiophone. The bluebells are ringing for Sweetmeal Sam, real ham, Handing out bread and jam just like any picnic. It's 5-4 on William Wright; he made his pile on Derby night. When Billy was a kid, walking the streets, The other kids hid - so they did! Now, after working hard in security trade, he's got it made. The shops that need aid are those that haven't paid. "I do my double-show quick!" said Mick the Prick, fresh out the nick. "I sell cheap holiday. The minute they leave, Then a visit I pay - and does it pay!" And his friend, Liquid Len by name, Of Wine, Women and Wandsworth fame, Said "I'm breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framded!" They called me the Reverend when I entered the Church unstained; My employers have changed but the name has remained. It all began when I went on a tour, Hoping to find some furniture. I followed a sign - it said "Beautiful Chest". It led to a lady who showed me her best. She was taken by surprise when I quickly closed my eyes. So she rang the bell, and quick as hell Bob the Nob came out on his job To see what the trouble was. "Louise, is the Reverend hard to please?" "You're telling me!" "Perhaps, sir, if it's not too late. We could interest you in our Staffordshire plate?" "Oh no, not me, I'm a man of repute." But the Devil caught hold of my soul and a voice called out "Shoot!" To save my steeple, I visited people; For this I'd gone when I met Little John. His name came, I understood, When the judge said "You're a robbing hood." He told me of his strange foundation, Conceived on sight of the Woodstock nation; He'd had to hide his reputation. When poor, 'twas salvation from door to door. But now, with a pin-up guru every week, It's Love, Peace & Truth Incorporated for all who seek. He employed me as a karmacanic, with overall charms. His hands were then fit to receive, receive alms. That's why we're in The Battle of Epping Forest, It's the Battle of Epping Forest, Right outside your door. We guard your souls for peanuts, And we guard your shops and houses For just a little more. In with a left hook is the Bethnal Green Butcher, But he's countered on the right by Mick's chain-gang fight, And Liquid Len, with his smashed bottle men, Is lobbing Bob the Nob across the gob. With his kissar in a mess, Bob seems under stress, But Jones the Jug hits Len right in the mug; And Harold Demure, who's still not quite sure, Fires acorns from out of his sling. (Here come the cavalry!) Up, up above the crowd, Inside their Silver Cloud, done proud, The bold and brazen brass, seen darkly through the glass. The butler's got jam on his Rolls; Roy doles out the lot, With tea from a silver pot just like any picnic. Along the Forest Road, it's the end of the day And the Clouds roll away. Each has got its load - they'll come out for the count At the break-in of day. When the limos return for their final review, it's all through' - all they can see is the morning goo. "There's no-one left alive - must be draw." So the Blackcap Barons toss a coin to settle the score.

I understand the baby thing, that evening I washed my hands twice and had a baby blanket around the new baby before I held her. My daughter asked did you wash your hands and I said yes up to my elbows because it tends to get everywhere when you eat them. Our kids always said they don't like spicy food, they still say that. But they don't know I slowly raised the spice level over the years, only one still says something about it, just to whine I think, but she eats it anyway. The other day I smoked meatloaf, instead of one big one I made two smaller ones. In one I add a bunch of slices of jalapenos and extra seasoning, like half of a jar of sliced peppers she made a face at me, when it was done I noticed someone ate a piece after me. She tried it and told the grandson it's good you should try it. If I made it all like that she probably wouldn't have been happy about it?

Used to add water to Zatarains Creole Seasoning. Resulting in spice balls. Very young Twins asked for them, calling them Peanuts. Hold out your paws, sez I. They did & popped a peanut into their mouths immediately holding out paws for more. NOT the reaction I expected; now they think they don't like spicy food... But, just like momma fed me, they get spicy all the same.

One of the people using gloves was my daughter in law. I totally understood her using them as she is currently nursing her baby and didn't want to take any chances of getting anything on the baby. I think everyone else was pretty much wussies.

t's one o'clock and time for lunch, When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk. There's always been Ethel: "Jacob, wake up! You've got to tidy your room now." And then Mister Lewis: "Isn't it time that he was out on his own?" Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you! Keep them moving blades sharp... I know what I like, and I like what I know; Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show. Sunday night, Mr Farmer called, said: "Listen son, you're wasting your time; there's a future for you In the fire escape trade. Come up to town!" But I remembered a voice from the past; "Gambling only plays when you're winning" I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure. Keep them moving blades sharp. I know what I like, and I like what I know; Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show. When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk. Me, I'm just a lawnmower you can tell me by the way I walk.

Probably to complex for them Bur you have made my day Just listened to it and now I’m going to have some lunch is an uplifted mood

Some people don't get it...

Just enjoying Steve Hackett stretch his fingers... On selling England by the pound.... Great sweep and cross picking... And finger boarding way before Ed Van Halen

In the latter 1990's, I was at a BMW motorcycle rally, had gotten there fairly early...and this young lady rolled in on her F650 and "it seemed loaded for bear"...she set up her tent nearby, and walked over to the table I was at and joined me there....I asked her if she wanted a beer, and went to got one for her...came back, and we chatted for awhile. She had a European accent, and told me she was a massage therapist from Slovenia...her name was Benka Pulko…and she asked me where I was from...so I told her: North West Arkansas...Fort Smith. She told me that she intended to ride in northern Arkansas after the rally. Eventually we got to know more about each other. She was going on a round-the-world trip on her F650! And she was on the North American leg of it, but intended to go to South America next..ALL THE WAY TO ITS TIP...and if she could find somebody WILLING to do it, she intended to catch a ride to ANTARCTICA with her bike! I was totally ENTHRALLED by then! LOL! She said that nobody had ever done Antarctica on a round-the-world trip before and she wanted to do it on hers! TOO FUNNY! Well we partied some and over that rally weekend she made many friends...so we all decided to follow her trip however we could...she gave us the info on how to do it! So, long story short...she completed that round-the-world journey...to include ANTARCTICA! As is normally usual, after someone achieves "celebrity" status, negative things tend to crawl out of the woodwork about them. This also happened to Benka! I'm normally a pretty good judge of character, and can most often pick-up on whether somebody is "full of it" or not...and with Benka, I did NOT get any of those vibes at all! She had a happy and excited way about her...and I enjoyed our short time together!

Very good idea, maby even twice. Good coffee one of my favorites, old habits and all. Never seen that before, I think I will skip the gloves and wash my hands. If I forget even after washing my hands off and rub my eye I will remember to not do it a second time for sure.

The speedway's support and recognition of our military and its veterans is always impressive. Last week end there was a large enlistment ceremony and a deployment ceremony as well.

Community Dark Roast... What’s the volume level? There isn’t one.

Have to remember to wash my hands after eating crawfish.

I like spicy but not really hot things, jalapenos I slice them and don't eat them whole, and stay away from anything hotter. Pretty spicy is fine for me but not just hot where it just burns. No stomach problems just mouth burning and numb I skip.

Joni Michell self-produced all of her albums, was severely-stricken with polio as a child and almost died from it...that health issue has recurred on her numerous times in adulthood, also....among others...she has always been a night owl...gets up late in the afternoon, paints all night., smoking heavily as she does so....her passion is actually that of a graphic artist, and she is really a GREAT artist!...but she will be forever remembered for her music...more than anything else. She admits that it perplexes her, too! I've been a fan ever since 1969!

All that and she did the cover artwork for many of her albums.

habaneros are good. nice citrus flavor. good for nibbling on. I wouldn't chuck a whole one down my face. Not in one or two bites...Not worth $20. I "grow" chile pequin... related to the tepin. They grow themselves. Those are some hot little [about the size of a pea] buggers. A NativeAmerican friend saw them and was eating them like popcorn... I bit. I crack ONE between my teeth [no mucus membranes involved], gag reflex kicked in. I spit before it touched much..

Geeze half a world away and it's all the same. Late 70s, at the bottom of my street 1/8 mile south they went to South High School, we all went to another. Theirs was the more prestigious locale. The rich kids two miles east went to a third hs. On the boulevard nearby across from the Pizza Hut and the Taco Bell where the McDonalds and HollyFarms Fried Chicken were was the parking lot where all the cruising emanated from. 90 cent gasoline, 16 year olds with big blocks. Every clique hated the other unless they were hooking up, then it was on. Same stuff as the fifties movies happened, it was just our era.

=== Kaizen philosophy at its best. I’m sure someone here is a potential customer. Helll, we buy living room speakers designed for 500 seat theaters why not the perfect toast - one at a time. More time to enjoy your morning coffee — Or buy two and be the first with mono block toasters — possibly the purest form of toasting —

Actually, I’m a little late to the party and received this Denon ARV-X3500H a week ago. I have a Marantz SR5012 (2017 model) that I’ve been using for about a year and a half in our Living Room Home Theater System (5.1.2) and really like it, but I’ve always been curious about the Denon from the same model/feature/capabilities level, so I decided to try out the AVR-X3500H (2018 model) since it has some updated capabilities over the 2017 model. I’m still tinkering with the Denon’s settings, but I like it as much as the Marantz, but even to these old ears there are some subtle differences in the sound between the two (no negatives). I will keep both of them, but switch them occasionally.

Hopefully he burned them. 😀

If you bought 5 of them and added a bread maker, would you have a true 5.1 system?

Hi All I'm a newbie here and no expert at all. I have the opportunity to purchase a beautiful mint pair of KG4's with no mods done for $200. I have a Luxman 115 amplifier. Is this a good setup and are the speakers as good as I've heard. Any help appreciated. Thank you!!

I get that. Not everyone can have a dedicated room for music. Hopefully in the future you will be able to have such a luxury. I have a very understanding wife who has fully supported my hobby from day one. I get the best room in the house and she's ok with that. I am very fortunate. In your situation, most speakers will be compromised to some degree. I believe the Forte III is such a good product that it will deliver the same or more performance than any other contender in it's price range in such an environment. You are starting from a good place by buying a really good speaker. The rest comes in time. Shakey

The Indy Pole sitter for 2019.

If you don't buy them you'll always wonder what it could have been like. Kind of like the person with a barrel of apples, always picking one that's gone a little bad (before it gets even worse and they have to throw it away). Rarely to they enjoy a good apple 'cause the next marginal one will get picked next, and so forth. Pick the good apple now and enjoy it! You only live once (at least that you know of) and it's only money.

Tiny Tim?

Weather is here, ....

Ann Wilson stairway to heaven. yup that’s it

Like throwing a hotdog down a hallway...

I call them chalk tablets.

While discussing Elton John His song Saturday Night’s Alright For Fighting was like an anthem and something that we took literally in my youth The Westies ( my area ) group would head into town Saturday night to drink and dance and pick up chicks ( as you do when young ) If the other area groups East - South - North tried to spoil our fun - then fights were the only way to settle the score Because I was more of a surfer type I was never in a group but had to obey the location of what group one belonged to I have witnessed some fights that would send shivers up your spine - but the amazing thing is, In those days, once they were finished and the perking order was established they all got along and drank together

I am now listening to some Prog from an Australian band called Madder Lake - Album Still Point ( have posted it way back in the thread ) While listening I searched for some history and found this short 10 min documentary video of the bands history Please enjoy - also keep an eye out about the comments about the band Queen

I don't mean to offend, but I would not even think about modifying a speaker in this way - particularly a current production model that may still be under warranty. So you're adding bracing to fix presumed resonances, but you're also decreasing internal volume which is apt to have all sorts of ill affects. Remember, those who engineered these speakers had every opportunity to design bracing into the design if they felt it would improve their sound. And they didn't. Before even considering this I would insist on a careful direct and blinded comparison b/w a pair so modified and an original pair - I would NOT simply take someones word that it improves the speaker. I have Cornwall III's and will admit that they sound fairly hollow and unbraced when you knock on them. Yet, I hear ZERO smearing at ANY volume and with any kind of music or test tones that could be attributable to resonances. To my thinking, adding bracing sounds like a solution in search of a problem.

Well, some of the "patina" and seasoning is full of crud and flaking. I will use the self cleaning oven method on low for two hours and after cooling, most of the crud will wash right off with rinsing with warm water. Then scour the entire pan with 00 steel wool and ivory soap to remove any of the remaining old seasoning. I will dry then bone dry and then start the new seasoning process with Crisco. I learned all this from this guy and it is a great method to restore vintage cast iron pans and to create an even patina and seasoning. http://theculinaryfanatic.com/cast-iron-restoration-maintenance/restoration-maintenance-videos/ Bill

A big second for Heart! Anybody who’s seen their performance of Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors will know just how good the band is and how good Ann Wilson’s vocals are. It brought Robert Plant to tears.
