Well, ya beat @ClaudeJ1 ! Lurker! 😂

You're a sick man! 😂 I've seen a couple but nope. Tough but... Resist! I can't even put what I have away. lol

@ClaudeJ1 that story reminds me of one of the art profs in college. Toward the end of the quarter he brought in some live model who posed nude sitting on a turnstile up front. EVERY guy on the planet signed up for that course. You could turn her on the turnstile but no touchy or instant fail. hahaha

He's sneaky like that @Fido. Out of the box and sneaky too. lol

Crazy! Mike's setting the youngest up w/all my photo gear. He's gonna preach & teach! I kind of think she's got her work cut out for her hangin with him and the other guy I hooked her up with. Just for you @grasshopper "almost live" from the land of cactus. 😂 Mike Olbinski July 29th in Tucson was an amazing evening with a lightning bonanza for nearly an hour. At one point I had a camera aimed at this spot and it went absolutely bonkers. This is 12.5 minutes of time, 35 different images with around 76 bolts that I counted. That is a rate of six strikes per minute. So thrilling to watch this with my workshop guests! I don't do many stacks, but I had to in this case! Canon R5 + RF 100-500mm To Wild for sure out your way Bill.

Hey, let's go for a lil ride! What say you??? Welcome aboard! Gonna punch yer ticket! Then there's this guy!

Hmmmm, strange. Got a couple inches of rain in the rain gauge overnight. Must have slept right thru it. Just glanced out the back doors and by golly there were two hummingbirds workin out on my hanging baskets. Tried the feeders long ago and gave up. Never saw squat until a few minutes ago. Made the coffee taste a lil better. Strange for sure.

That's a hoot! Either way ya don't. Mine? Bring your gold or save 10% for cash. I'm expecting a call in a couple weeks from the guys at my record shop wanting to know if I'm po'd at them for some reason. Told 'em when they started I'd pay for a corner of their store and fulfilled that promise but now? WHATEVER I buy from here on out is gonna be stellar. The struggle is real here but I'm thinkin. 😂 @dirtmudd Nothing like that YET but I've had some hot chicks down on all fours diggin around on the floor lookin for something. ALWAYS a fun watch. They'd just tell me to hurry up they were busy lookin for something.

Gotta be miserable. Time to shed the sarong and everything else! Nothin to see here just move along "might" work. Crazy. High of 81 here today and I'm seriously thinkin about shelving some albums and movin stuff around. Been so long I'm getting tired of looking at all of 'em leaning on everything.

@MeloManiac just another crazy war costing so many countries so many lives. Tragic. You would think a lesson to be learned by all then fast forward to today. Wild for sure when you look at the big picture. Typically there are a few different versions of the "record player" saw some sold for about $250 to collectors then pulled this up on youtube. Just proves to the world that soldiers are just like we are today. We need that music "fix" whenever we can get it. Crazy!

Don't know much about the boosters that cell services have but then again if you're outta range it would suck. Always a reason someone sells. Gotta be something out there that's not crazy nuts. I keep having visions of you wearing a sarong. No idea where that came from. 😂

May as well play with what ya have. Knowing you it'll be stellar.

Hey @Marvel lookie what I found. She's TOTALLY steppin up her game from the first album. "City of Gold" is a pretty amazing listen. She's been "learnin" hangin w/the big guns like Billy Strings for one and just crushed this one. Love it when someone new just keeps grindin til she's comfy and havin fun killin it wherever she goes. I'd mentioned before she played up here at Blossom Music Center but didn't find much in the reviews so I made a phone call for the scoop. The crowd loved her was what I was told and they're bringing her back asap. What a shocking contrast to her frist lp. She's blossomed just like I thought she would. Ya might just wanna grab a copy. Totally worth it imo. Here's the full lp.

Ahhhhh started settling in and didn't have to think about a thing. Y'all know what's goin down here already. Can't say enough good things about the venue. Ya just don't get a real ticket to anything in this computer generated world today. Half the fun of it is forgetting the tickets and turning around to go get 'em right? 😂 Gotta have sumpin to sign just in case too. 70 year old guys will sign ANYthing or am I wrong? Keb' Mo' is the second studio album by Delta blues artist Keb' Mo'. Commonly thought of as his debut, the artist previously released an album in 1980, Rainmaker, under his birth name "Kevin Moore" (of which "Keb' Mo'" is a variation). Half-speed mastered? 12 Nominations for Grammy's winning 5 times? It's killer! Don't know if being signed makes it any better today but it's another one for the "spatial" crate sittin in there. https://www.billboard.com/music/country/keb-mo-good-to-be-album-1235020539/ ^^^^^^^^ A bit from Billboard magazine on his latest lp "Good to Be" a double gatefold FULL of great stuffs! Another 3 of 4 sides lp, which he heard about! 😂 Getter get ya sum cause me thinks you're gonna likey. Crank it up and check him out! He wasn't gettin outta there alive w/me leanin on that lamp post beside his tour bus. He didn't have to pick my brain cause there isn't much up there to pick but I gave him a song that's been stuck in my head for 50 years. He's thunkin I know cause he was questioning me about it. He's just the kind of guy who would do it justice cause the guy I wanted to give it to is now gone. Old guys. We're spatial af. Now I wait to see if he runs w/it down the road. It's on him now and I told him as much. I couldn't write a song if my life depended on it. lol Prolly sell a billion copies and I won't get squat. I'm good with that though. Kinda maybe. 😂

@AndreG. plenty of room right? Asking for a friend.

Yea, funny that you all know him but the crazy part of it was the show didn't sell out here. The talk of Duckburg yesterday was "Wow Styx & Foghat were great last nite at the State Fair!" Hot as balls and the farmers & morons loaded up to go spend big bucks? THEN they had that coveted ticket to watch those two groups in a jam packed tin roofed sardine can? Lawdy! It don't take much here in Ohio. 😂 Mid 80's today and headin into the dawg days of summer soon. Talkin pushin 90 next week so here we go. Cops are poppin the meth boys left and right, which is a good thing imo. Their new dawg appropriately named Capone isn't takin any prisoners. Someone's neighbor called the cops out on a hunch and ole Capone used that snout walkin along the side of the garage from 12' away on the neighbors property. Got a hit, then the warrant and bingo another one bites the dust. Exciting huh? Blah, don't take much here. 😂 Guess Ohio is gonna vote on recreational pot in November. Already have medical so guess we'll see how that rolls. Jimmy Olsen signing out! 😂

@MicroMara no video. 😂 Whew!

@MicroMara You just keep hangin in there like a rusty fish hook! 😂

You in my head again? Closed the show with this one. lol Posted a couple pics over in vinyl record spinning. Sound was totally spot on and it was clean as a whistle. Totally chill. Beautiful night for a show and the theater renovation was outstanding. Couldn't have asked for a better show.

Did a thang last nite and caught Keb' Mo' about 1.5 hours away. Payin for it today too. Sheesh sums it up. On the SECOND pot of coffee and movin slower than slow. It ain't pretty but not often you get a shot to see a 5 time grammy award winner. Better get ya some is ALL I'm sayin. Duckburg is prolly still here w/a high of 80 and cool tonight. Might just hit the gasssss in a bit. Keepin the mugga full that's for sure.

One great but rough nite for me last nite. Think I survived but not sure. An amazing 2 hour ride w/a 5 time grammy award winner? It went waaaay too quick. Yea, I'm beat up but would do it all over again. lolol Amazing sound w/that resonator. That modded Strat? Seriously good! Tonight, Grand Rapids then Detroit. Better get ya some! Good job on the pics @MeloManiac One place I'd be honored to walk around in. Thanks brother. So very poignant to me and I'm sure others.

@MicroMara looks like that therapy is workin quite nicely to me. Great to hear you're on the mend though. Just take it easy so ya don't undo what you've done. @Full Range seems as though you pulled another one on us! Congrats! Should sound fantastic so keep us posted. @GWSmith you just keep pullin stuff outta the woodwork. I'm kinda jelly actually cause I've got stuffs sittin in an upstairs bedroom it's just getting it down here. Then comes all the werk that goes w/it sittin around and zero room in here. Sucks to be me. lol THEN @AndreG. jumps in. Always a fun watch. 😂 He's toast and finally starting to admit it, which makes it even funnier! We got ya brother! 😂💪😎 Just about time to back the car out, throw some junk in the trash can, clean the inside of the windshield up, shower and suit up for that 2-hour drive down to catch Keb Mo this evening @ 8 then the drive back. Still not sold out and it really baffles me. Guy's killin it everywhere he plays. Back in the day it was just another stop and no biggie. Today, it's a pita. Food & craft beer are laid on to give 'em somethin else to talk about tomorrow. Now it's just gettin the gaggle loaded up and figurin out Google in order to dodge those orange barrels and the ridiculous detours as a result of 'em. Blah. I'm a survivor! Wait don't forget the meds for walkin. I'll be moonwalkin by the time I get there. These kids ain't got nuttin on me! "With age comes wisdom." Kinda maybe! "Hey, remember that old guy with the hearing aids? Man, he was gettin his groove on fo' sure!" The struggle is real. 😂

@justonemore guess my head was in the cycle position. That IS him by jimminy! I knew he'd been in a couple other groups but it sure didn't register.

We're alllllll in it for the ride. Some good days and some bad days. Then there are the "other" days where you just watch it all unfold. Ya just keep reaching for the brass ring.
