Yes the crawfish festival was really good, after I get some pic's together I will add some, I tried probably 75% at least of the 60 cooking teams, some a couple of times. :D The music was really good and the rain held out except for about the last hour, but it did not stop anyone.

Morning all.  It was 62 and clear this morning.  Absolutely gorgeous out.  It's a far cry from the rain we've been getting pounded with lately.  I think we're about 10 inches over where we were last year at this time.  Happy Monday to all.  Every minute you're at work today is one minute closer to the weekend!

Hey folks ... slow but good day yesterday. Played a bunch of old rock 'n roll on the Hammond and then started pulling out old LP's, many from my folks' collection. Good stuff and a real kick to listen to them again. I love great well kept vinyl. Guess I'm showing my age, but damn it's good stuff. :D Topped off the day with dinner and watched 'The Imitation Game' via Vudu. Fine movie and recommended.

 

Cheers to all! Try to check back in a bit.

Morning all, boys at school, breakfast and protein shake down, dishes washed....................................was sentenced to some hard times last evening, wife wanted to watch the ACM (American country music awards) I suffered through with as little comment as I could humanly stand.  1 thing really struck me though

 

Country (or at least what they call country) seems 1 hell of a lot more like POP than what I recall as country..........................also the show was very poorly mastered you heard more of the audience than the performers, and several times while accepting awards the performers would ask which way to face while speaking.  all in all a very poor effort at an awards ceremony IMHO.

 

reminded me more of a huge drunken yuppy party than a country music event..........................."Times they are a changing"

You've pretty much nailed it, Joe. I won't listen to or play the crap that passes for 'country' today, and I've been playing country music for a long, long time now along with rock 'n roll. The music industry seems to have homogenized country into a 'pop' sound to appeal to a wider, younger audience and the result is garbage. When I play country it's always along the lines of Hank Williams, Patsy Cline, Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, etc. My hope is that good artists will someday find a way around the 'industry' and get back to roots. Thanks for the excuse to vent and have an excellent day.

I had the previledge of working as a "sensor systems specialist" on this bird during late 80s and early 90s. Found this picture and thought you guys might enjoy seeing a blast from the past. "Proof that with enough horsepower you could fly a brick" was the old joke at 27 tons.

We had a bunch of F4s on the Midway, proof you put enough motor under anything, it will fly.

We maintained the infrared imaging system and camera systems. We would do a pre-flight check of those systems (sit in back seat and test the cameras) and then we would meet the plane upon landing and rob any film they used during the flight. Occasionally we would go to photo interpretation and look at photos if there was a problem.

Mark...... send him some PWK glasses or a sack of crawfish?  How about some Bertie County peanuts from NC?

 

Pressure washed LF's house, patio, and driveway Monday.  12 mile bike ride yesterday.  Lower back a little tender this morning but the coffee is good.

 

Beautiful weather here.  LF off to play tennis and I may take Jake to the doggie park.

 

Cheers Ladies :emotion-44: and Gents
