  1. Indeed. Mike is a very lucky guy. He has a broad history of great shows when bands were in their prime. Great recollection of them as well, often with some cool old pics. Very entertaining and enjoy hearing about them. You seem to have seen quite a few as well. Those days hold great memories. Right now while writing this I had a flashback - New Riders of the Purple Sage (NRPS), Chicago Auditorium, early 70's (72 or 73). Row 25, center. Higher than a kite. Buddy Cage on pedal steel guitar. Etched in my brain forever.
  2. Nope... I didn't get through it. Fell asleep. It sucked anyway.
  3. Lovely looking salad too. Looks like a spinach Caeser, my fav. If not it still looks damn good !
  4. Sweating out an all day power outage (maintenance). They said it would come back on at 1600 hrs. I was hoping it would maybe come back a bit sooner. But, I should know better. They will milk it to the last friggen minute. Next year I will be buying a small generator that can at least power one of the AC units.
  5. That would put me six feet under. Kids have endless energy. That's why the get away with eating so much candy. I never have quite figured it out. They are like nuclear reactors.
  6. I understand what you are saying. But my penision is with a state system, SS is a small supplement to that. The 3% compounding is a huge benefit for me. I also began at age 51.
  7. Shame really. Reminds me of Don Jr. bragging about going to Wharton while in the same breath claiming that he didn't know what GAP (General Accounting Principles) was. Silver spoon in the mouth, stick up the ass. Rotate.
  8. Bully Pulpit. My heart bleeds for fforest.
  9. **** remarkable hand, finger, and arm strenght required to play like this. Similar to the type of strenght a rock climber develops. Also voice requiers significant conditioning. Awesome
  10. Pump. Fire one up, put the headphones on and crank this one. But don't sing it to your wifey. 555555555555 ! I've posted this one before. But, worth another go. Fcuking dig the bass....
  11. Sorry to hear that. I watch him often. That kind of pain is agonizing. I wish him the best. *** One thing to hope for as we age is that science will come up with better and safer methods for treating pain, both acute and chronic.
  12. What a perfect song. Love the rhythm in this tune. Mick Fleetwood is a genius.
  13. I wish I could say the same. I have to admit I've made some mistakes, some of them huge. But, I have always had my base to support me. Rebuilding now...it'll take a couple more years to be back where I want to be. The base income will get me there (or a stroke will put me six feet under - for now the odds are in my favor).
  14. Friggen lovely. Love sprouts (as long as they aren't contaminated). I remember a huge outbreak years ago, sprouts were the culprit that time. *** A few years later it was spinach. Subway pulled spinach off their shelves. Pissed me off to the max.
  15. For you frozen lasagna lovers......
  16. Difficult to recall if I ever had a wank over her. I would guess probably yes, but after seeing this pic my memory is kind of foggy. I know, I know.... I am a terrible bad bad man.
  17. Compound interest.... it adds up big over 30-40 years. A $4,000/month check becomes a $9,827/month check after 30 years of 3% annual increases. 40 years = $13,260/month If you factor the increases along with living below your affordable "standard of living" plus relocate to a place with much lower average housing costs,, and ditch the car..... you can live a pretty decent life. Trying to compete with the Jones' back in the U.S. with swimming pool$, three cars, kids braces and college tuition.... you are doomed for the trash heap. Back in the day when my parents did it (I'm still not sure how they pieced it all together) it was possible. Now.... ? You can forget about it.
  18. Yeah, incredible memories. I just had a good laugh explaining to my Thai teacher what bong meant. There was a Thai word that she used that sounded like bong. I explained to her that how I memorized new langauge words word sound association. I said bong either means booonnng like the sound a gong makes - or, it means a big pipe for weed smoking...
  19. Looks like he got the poop snot kicked out of him. Maybe needs to stick with his daytime walkabouts and limit the nightlife a bit.
  20. ^^^^ I just finished eating that. Probably the best omlete I have ever had.
  21. Best wishes to you. Maybe at some point some part time volunteer work with flexible hours. Helping folks who really need , but not to the point where it is over stressing you.
  22. Cheers ! Squire's bass playing was untouchable IMO.
