Great guy is right....comfortable as an armchair to me though we never met in person. Can't hear a Stones song without thinking about him. I remember telling him I looked forward to seeing him at Coytee's jube fest and he said something to the effect "be carefull what you wish for....people either get me or not" I think a lot of us "got him".
I had thought of starting a thread on his birthday which I am pretty sure is October 27th. If no one else does I will....RIP Old buddy.
Sons of Anarchy. JB.....thats the spitting image of Winchester....how did you know? A handsome devil no doubt. Bluesboy dropped by....had a couple of Maker's Mark on the patio till the mosquitos ran us off. Took a walk and played with the yellow lab down the street......miss my two old girls Ginger's Tarheel Kate and Boykin's Ginger Gem[] Bailey the yellow lab loved the attention but it was sad to see her walk off as both hips are about gone[] Labs live much too short a life.
Multitasking JB....you da man. Sun came out late afternoon after three days of rain and gloom. Back to the grind after five days off.
Where is everybody?
Yesterday was a bad day for the Heels! At least I still have my happy hour buds here right? Right?.......Anybody out there? Ace? bl? JB? Mike? Idratherhunt? BigStewman? Rockets? Winchester?
Drat! Bars empty.
A rainy, rainy, Saturday afternoon in the Port City. My Tarheels stunk up the stadium in Atlanta playing Georgia Tech. Glad I didn't open up that blue paint.
Getting ready to open a new bottle of Maker's Mark so I guess the bar is open guys.
Cheers[D]
Yes E. Isle as well as the S. Carolina Beaches are all close. As far as the strand and waves Wrightsville Beach is my preference but parking is metered and hard to find.
My Tarheels rolled over East Carolina rather convincingly today. Sorry chilibone.
Win21 must be out shooting birds. Weather took a turn for the better. Idratherhunt probably shot more birds[]
Back from dinner. Swordfish topped with crabmeat and crem brulee for dessert. A Belvedere martini with bleu cheese stuffed olives....hmmm good.
Hi bl.......We are on Virginia Dare Trail.....walking distance to the monument. Like to go there on our anniversary week since the crowds have thinned out.
Man you came a long distance to get to the beach! Funny....I live 2 miles from Wrightsville Beach but drive 250 miles to get to the Outer Banks.
Great weekend back to you and the wife.
JB...that friday commute from Pluto must be hell.
Where is the Queen City sushi boy?
Yabba dabba do.....weekends almost here. Time to hang up the key board, carpenter's apron, or monkey wrench. Not a drop of alchol this week and no tunes....to busy with the kitchen makeover and work. Heading to the Outer Banks middle of next week for a few days of r&r....Kill Devil Hills to be exact.
Win21 skipped out on his tab last night (the old side door routine)....so last one here gets to pay.
Cheers[D]
Certainly an icon to my generation and a pioneer in the folk music scene. Mary gave music and performing her all for five decades. Most of us grew up with PP&M's music and her passing leaves a huge void.
Thats a great picture JB. Kind of like a "green" floating commune[] though Pete pre dates hippies, beatniks, and whoever was before beatniks. I didn't know the show was a fund raiser for PBS. Would have been nice to watch it uninterrupted. Cleaning up the Hudson seems like a worthwhile project.
Got to beat ECU.....I work with an office full of those guys.....almost like they went to a real school.
Thanks for the Ketel One. I cracked a bottle open fresh out of the freezer last night.....hmmm good.
Anyone see Serena Williams lose it last night? What a show!!! A suspension is a given.
See you at happy hour.
I have done the Atkin's Diet more times than I can count. Always a good diet for me to lose 10 pounds in two weeks. At 6'1" and 190, 10 pounds will get me where I need to be. On the third to fourth day when the glycogen burns off you get an incredible burst of energy. Still it would be good never to have to diet again.
A rhetorical question Artto....I mentioned I had a stop loss order on...adjusted higher as the price went higher. Like Colin I bought again in the 3's after getting out in the 6's[]
Enjoying Dire Straits on the rocks with vodka.....and a jalapeno stuffed olive.
Where is WC21?
Ace.....did you get that grouting done. Starting a kitchen makeover here very soon.
Good night JB.
For those of you still awake.....time to hang up the old pencil, hammer, waffle iron or whatever and welcome to the weekend. The bar is open. I'll have a whisky on the rocks. We will leave the tab for stragglers so get here early. I'll save you a seat[D]
