  1. Today it's looking a bit more like spring here in Duckburg but the curmudgeon almost surfaced last evening w/the neighbor kid.  Spring training started next door and naturally migrated to my back yard.  The wiffle ball rule has evolved into a silver duck taped ball.    Gonna hit 70 today so it'll prolly be time for the 10 year old to break out his bow w/real arrows next.  Imma dead man.  :)

  2. Tree pollen?  That stuff can be nasty.  Duckburg's park is almost surrounded by a woods and meandering river.  In May, the cottonwood trees start and it's snowing cotton.  Never bothered me before and I lived in that place as a kid playing tennis, shootin hoops and ballin.  Today?  I avoid it like the plague.  

     

    Weather is finally starting to break a bit.  60's or so most of the week with a bit of rain  maybe.  Now the summer traffic to Lake Erie begins.  It's a hoot watchin the junk ppl shuttle back and forth.  Saw a pickup full following a newer Volvo with a queen mattress roped to the top.  The box springs were in the pickup full of junk.  Only 60 miles to get there from here.  "Yup, we got us a house/cabin up on the lake and spend every weekend there in the summer.  We just can't afford to heat it during the winter so me migrate every year."   😂

     

    That's enough.  Back to the coffee and a bit of scrollin.  :)

  4. Just time today...  Chillin and enjoyin just about everything I threw down.  A couple second thoughts but, as usual, it worked.

     

    All the World's a Stage is a double live album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in 1976. The album was recorded at Massey Hall in Toronto on June 11, 12, and 13, 1976, during the band's breakthrough 2112 tour. The title of the album alludes to William Shakespeare's play As You Like It, and would again be referenced by Rush in the 1981 song "Limelight".

     

    Talk about clean as a whistle?  This audiophile copy is all of that and more.  :)

    Permanent Waves is the seventh studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released on January 18, 1980, through Anthem Records. After touring to support their previous album, Hemispheres (1978), the band began working on new material for a follow-up in July 1979. This material showed a shift in the group's sound towards more concise arrangements and radio-friendly songs (such as "The Spirit of Radio" and "Freewill"), though their progressive rock blueprint is still evident on "Jacob's Ladder" and the nine-minute closer "Natural Science." Bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee also employed a more restrained vocal delivery compared to previous albums. Permanent Waves was recorded at Le Studio in Morin-Heights, Quebec with production handled by the group and Terry Brown.

    Pushed myself a bit going with this 2022 remaster of 2112 but it was well worth it!  

     

    2112 (pronounced "twenty-one twelve") is the fourth studio album by Canadian rock band Rush, released in March 1976 by Anthem Records. It reached No. 5 in Canada and became the band's commercial breakthrough in the US, peaking at No. 61.

    The band was in financial hardship due to the disappointing sales of 1975's Caress of Steel, which also gained an unfavourable critical reception, and a decline in attendance at its shows. Their international label, Mercury Records, considered dropping them but granted one more album following negotiations with manager Ray Danniels. Rush were pressured to deliver more commercial material, but decided to continue developing its progressive rock direction it had explored on Caress of Steel and made the 20-minute futuristic science-fiction title track occupy side one of 2112, with a collection of shorter songs on side two that display their hard rock roots.

  10. Blah, Duckburg spring weather.  Snow flurries again?  That stuff can quit anytime!

     

    Upgraditis @grasshopper?  You know better.  If it ain't broke don't fix it and to heck w/the Jone's next door.  Keep an eye on that leg.  Better you smelling "clinical" than me.  Around here they smell ya and back up 3 feet.  lol 

     

    On the upside though, you and @MicroMara could be onto something.  A new aftershave and body wash called "Clinical" for those that want a clean sanitary smell.  Think about it.  The wimmen at the bar ask what you do ya just tell 'em you're a doctor.  😂

     

    Had a friend back in the day who was a Panamanian dude.  He was super short and thin.  We'd hit a bar and he'd go work the women.  I couldn't figure it out.  He ALWAYS wound up w/some good lookin chick.  I asked him once what he was telling them and he told me the story.  They asked what he did and he told them he was a jockey.  Yes Sir, talk about a wtf moment?  Worked every time.   Clinical has possibilities.  Get outta the box.  😂
