Marvel Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 There's still outdoor music venues happening around? Why do I live in the Midwest? Have fun! Come on down... to Chattanooga, TN. Summers are great, with the '3 Sisters Bluegrass Festival" The recent one was here: http://www.3sistersbluegrass.com/ Our 'Nightfall Series' runs from May thru August and is a free, outdoor venue. Friday night downtown in Miller Plaza. A local act always opens for a national act, been running for years now. Past performers have been: Barenaked Ladies, Taj Mahal, Karla Bonoff, Dave Mason, Black Keys, Alison Krause, Howard Jones, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Deer Tick and the Carolina Chocolate Drops, Nickel Creek, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones... Lot's of smaller restaurant type venues for acoustics stuff, too, which can go year 'round. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I jumped in here a few weeks ago... only been in the forum a few months. I like it. Check you guys in the AM :-) Got a simple life rule instilled in me by my machinist father: "Real men try to make repairs before paying a professional."He was really good with tools . . . me, not so much. Following dad's rule, I have learned a few things by trying it first myself. But . . . It has sure cost me a lot for the education, probably much more than paying someone! Last time I tried just replacing the $10 flush mechanism in the toilet, it cost me $200 for a professional to repair my repair. (Who new the toilet tank could only take so much pressure tightening down the flush mechanism before the tank cracked? Uh.). I sometimes win the self-repair lottery, but sometimes . . . well, education costs! ;-) A balmy 42 in a jacket on the back porch now for the second cup of coffee.

ChuckAb3 Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Hey guys. Not a lot to report....fighting a nasty cold and trying to maintain my sweet charming disposition. (Hah). Will try to get the Xmas tree up today but doubt it could ever top JL's traffic stopping effort. Try to check back in a while.....cheers. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was known that a strike was very possible but no one knew where in the pacific. It is a big ocean with lots of targets as the war proved. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a sad day, and I don't want to appear to diss our military. This country has spent billions around the world, in lives and in dollars while not gaining much at all. However, I think enough has been released through the FOI Act that shows we knew Japan would attack Pearl Harbor. I'll leave it at that. Anything else I'll take offline.

JL Sargent Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Nice job on the tree JL! How hard was it to cut the hole in the roof? Not as hard as it looks. I simply hovered over the tree and hit "copy image" and then started at post here and hit "paste". Seems to work pretty darn good most of the time ya know! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billybob Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Outside the pubs, along the highways and bi-ways of your town, we shall never ever drink coffee without remembering that substitute chicory stuff In the tearooms and parlours of this great city, we shall never forget the teas that saw us steadfastly through to the end...Twining' s OoLong loose leaf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
