Dave1291 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Sun's up in Duckburg. All's quiet and I'm thinking about blowing out the hood. Thursday night football in high schools? Yuuuppp. Had a local game last night. This is gonna be interesting down the road. "Nope, can't. It's Tuesday and I have a game tonight." Perfect! 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Sunny days and clear nights all week here on top of my hill! There's been days it did not warm to 65 inside until noon! Nice!! Low 50s at night . Lasix was made in heaven I think!! Looks like screens for the other seven windows are on my Christmas list now! Skeeters ain't allowed inside my place! High Schools still have Friday and Saturday games there @Dave1291 ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No HS in the state of Texas plays on Saturday. Yea, it will prolly come to that around here. Gotta generate more cash in a pay to play sport system. lol Saturday morning was JV around here and I don't think that's changed. This Thursday night Varsity stuff is a bit crazy though imo. The game the other night I know the school cause it's local and has a good program. The opponent I NEVER heard of before. Final? 55-12. So don't know how the scheduling came down. Know the AD there well and it's his style for sure. His dad was and excellent hoops coach and respected all over the state. His son though? Wouldn't make a pimple. lol The NCAA is going wild though and driving the high schools. The high school player hype is starting to go off the charts in Ohio. Parents pushing kids to "hybrid" levels anymore in ALL high school sports in Ohio. That's insane in itself. Think NIL $ for high school players? Yea, let's go TOTALLY outta the box on that one. Crazy! Thing is? What percentage of HS players make it at a big Uni? Then factor in what percentage of college players make it into the pros? It used to be 3% and now I think it's down to just under 1%. Hybrid it is! 😂😂😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 Maybe the Colleges around town weren't big enough to have teams and games back then when I was in hs. UNCC & I think Johnson C. Smith University did but that would have been it. Tobacco road was a ways off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invidiosulus Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 We’ve convinced a second guitarist to join our band so I’m working on some new cabs so my bass can keep up volume wise. This past Sunday after cooking pancakes and sausage for the parish breakfast, I got started on the 210 cab before heading over to my buddy Jeff’s place to sample some bourbon. Apparently there is some sort of Bob Dylan connection to this one. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 The cabs are gonna look great and knowin you the guts will be spot on! Now ya wanna talk bourbon? Ohio just had a lottery for the 5 barrels of Heaven they just got somewhere. Of course I signed up but once again, not even a sniff. We don't even get the 12 up here. Anything decent or good is almost unobtanium. Sad. I picked up a 750 of WhistlePig Farmstock Whisky Bespoke batch about 4 years ago. First time in Ohio. 60 miles one way and they had two cases of 12. I had to beg a woman at the place for a bottle and told them I was rollin as soon as I hung up. She told me it was first come, first serve. I walked in and the place was packed w/ppl. Saw the display and an empty box w/a limit 1 sign on it. I asked some dude and he said he thought they were out but he'd look. He came back w/the last case. Blessed? I dunno. The crazy thing about it was, Some woman in one of the register lines called me out by name and asked how I was along with a million other questions. She knew me but to this day I have NO idea who she was. They opened another register so I actually got out before she did. I kinda waited for her to come out so ( left when I didn't see her after a couple minutes. IF she ran the place why would she have been a register line? Totally blew me away but I know a ton of ppl from everywhere. Just freaked me out. Still haven't opened it. 2 minutes ago, babadono said: Too hot to sleep @Dave1291 ? Nite before last was nuts. Cranked out a couple pitchers of ice tea. Sucked that down then TRIED to hit the crib. Ok, laid there wide awake so got up. Had a 1045 Dr appt yesterday morning so sucked it up. Then pushed it til about 1 last nite. Up at 930, no tea today and ready to crash but... No a/c here, which I'll never figure out. EVERY house that was built in my hood had air installed EXCEPT this place. In some ways that can be good. Others? Sucks. Slapped one in the bedroom window but it's 75 @ 12:30 and I'm thinkin about takin a chance. I'll push the button though. Tomorrow high 90's again into Sat. I get it though. Sucks to be me. STILL can't figure out WHY I bought a house w/no a/c. I just tell em I don't wanna get soft like they are. Pretty freakin dumb actually but I'm not admittin it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got a ancient Gallien Krueger 400RB but it’s only about 200 watts into 4 Ohms. I also have a crown XLS power amp but I may shuffle some gear around and get something else to dedicate to the bass rig. 28 minutes ago, babadono said: Knob, Knob Creekin' on Heaven's Door......

JohnJ Posted August 29 Share Posted August 29 Sweet Cream right? Yum. Closest I get is leftover coffee in the afternoon that I dump some milk into It's fancy name? CoffeeMilk Yea, yea waste not want not. I drink it for the kick. Got up late today and did not make any. Had some good OJ that did not taste like it had bad ones squeezed into it! Aspirin is working so I'm going to put that gas powered knapsack on blow the leaves out of the way and cut what grass I can. It's been since May, at least I don't have a good stand of grass... if I did it would be waist high now! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
