Another day and just about back to abby-normal.  Young Frankenstein Abby Normal GIF

Young Frankenstein GIF  That lil bit of summertime fun road trip for a show is getting tougher to do.  Yea, great time, good peeps, lotsa fun and the tunes were spot on but the 2-hour drive each way from Duckburg?  Yesterday was vegatative and today the pots ON!  Watering done, lil weed killin on tap then time to fire up the big rig.  Then I can sit here and shove the vinyl back into 7 lp jackets he signed for me after the show. 

 

It had been years since I bumped into Walter Trout.  Back to Canned Heat and John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers.  Yea, two old guys throwin the sheet back n forth each listenin and grinnin while everyone else is goin whaaaa?  Funny! 

 

The youngins were standin there goin how'd you do that?  They just don't get it today.  A couple old a$$ guys throwin it down.  Life's about being outta the box, growin a pair, being respectful AND polite.  Oh yea, it always helps if ya know what ur talkin about.  😂

 

Gotta love it when some kid says wow that's nice after watching it go down.  Yup, now gtf outta my way I'm on a mission from God and goin home.  :)

 

1.5 hour show, tickets @60 but lock 'em in through the venue ASAP!  Screw the resellers if ya can.  He hit Cbus last night and they were 3-400 a pop after the scalpers toyed with 'em.  Hit his site and load 'em up!  Have ya a lil summertime fun.  Just take the next day off!  Yea, I'm gettin soft!   :)

New replacement CD Player is hooked up and works perfectly. Not very impressed with Onkyo's "Tech" department. Literally told me when I had called about the original unit "there is nothing in the manual about the player being locked". This is tech support? A moron reading from a manual? Really!? I told him that at least everything matches up with their company. Tech support is just as useless as the product.

Thanks Dave I wasn't familiar with Walter Trout but I likes him.  Just loaded 7 of his albums from Amazon to my Node.

All this Young Frankenstein talk made me search for the movie on my Amazon Firestick the other day with no luck finding it.  Then I remembered I had it on DVD so watched the whole thing.  Hadn’t watched it in years.  Lots of laughs in that one!

Oliva V series,  10 year Henry McKenna bottled in Bond. I'm going to have to have a sip of Heaven Hill after this, cause if I remember correctly, it's a lot smoother. Not saying the Henry has alot of bite, just seems more spicer (I'm not sure that's a proper way to describe whiskey).

Mel Brooks is truly a unique talent. He will be missed when he checks out of this plane.

10% rye in the mash bill and presented at 100 proof....I'm sure it's a little spicy. Sounds great.

Another Sunday afternoon at my buddy’s place, downstairs in his woodshop, sampling some bourbon.

 

My buddy Jeff is a generation older than me, a Wisconsin native(like myself), and a Vietnam veteran.

Today his brother Bob was in town and had brought along some Wisconsin bourbons.

These were very good.

 

We chatted for a few hours and as things were wrapping up, Jeff told me he had a shirt he wanted me to have.

This was the shirt he was wearing when he flew home from Vietnam.
