Very Happy Birthday Jim!

Very Happy Birthday!

Very Happy Birthday! (Time Zone belated 😄)

Holy Shitballs! Just hope she can get to safety easily, secondary hope that things are OK with trailer....

RIP Jimmy, sounds like an incredible person. Sorry for your loss Brent, as well to his family and other friends.

^^ OR, for when you really fucking hate your neighbors

Such wonderful pictures! RIP Sophie, condolences to you and Yumi. Thank you for being such good humans for her!

Sounds like great progress, Steve, wishing her and you all an easy time of things!

Very Happy Birthday!

^^^ Me too!

RIP Jimmy. Arguably a legend, though like Nate wasn't a big fan. Always loved his song Come Monday, though.

^^ I like their new album Blue Rev, and I have their debut as well. My son saw them (for the second time) about a week ago in Boston. He said they put on a great show.

I miss Gizmo.....what a personality!

I have my share of baggage from my parents' divorce, and my dad "kind of" being there but not 100%. At one point, I had some good sit-downs with him, and I determined that he had his own limitations. One VERY wise thing he said to me, though: "None of us are perfect, we all make mistakes. You just won't make the same mistakes I made...." Well said IMO.

Those are still very good! I was lucky to have two older brothers into music. One was ~4.5 years older, and I got a lot of early taste from him (classic and country rock, and prog). But over time we 3 boys each found our own niche for musical tastes....

I think my first vinyl "rig" was around 1971 or so as well.... Definitely had it by 1973, as I remember my first vinyl (J Geils Live Full House) playing on it. It was either a Craig or Fisher, complete with 8track, receiver, and turntable. Something like the below.

I have some very good discussions with my son about various political theories: Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, and variants.... Ultimately I argue all would fail, because people will be in power, and they will be corrupted in some way. Theory is one thing, application into reality another. What Antonio says encapsulates much of that belief. It would almost be better to be in the Matrix.... But we are faced with the lesser of evils at this point, so I will do what I can to keep that lesser evil....

(Rinsed and) repeated!

The pool slide is the best part.....

Terrorism 😖....at least it wasn't attacking places of worship....

That's amazing, Steve. Always advocate, even in situations where you have done some wrong. A lot to go through, but this looks like somewhat of a blessing in disguise. I'm glad she is through this ugliness, and wish her (them) well ongoing!

Dunn....

I like the setup....and cool-looking guitars!

RIP Sugar Man....what a great story.....but sad he didn't have his fame earlier in life. https://www.news24.com/life/arts-and-entertainment/celebrities/legendary-sugar-man-singer-rodriguez-81-has-died-20230809

For $68+ million, I hope the system stays with the house!
