Turn the page peeps

It was eventually. College buddy was from Harvey, IL and drove me by it once. Think it was like 2010 or something it finally came down

When I heard that line I was sure that 98.2% of the people sitting in the movie theater with me, including my girlfriend, had no idea that there was a difference between the two. But iffin’ I hadn’t worked in a record store, neither would I.

53 degrees and super froggy.

Happy Tuesday fellas

Mornin gang............

Morning Ram, Dan, MACS, DED. Heading to County Commissioners Court to have my 3 minutes at the microphone to express my concerns about code enforcement and maintenance.

Good Tuesday Morning to All! it's a rainy 71° on the way to 81° today, no range time due to the rain.

Court went well. I expressed gratitude for progress made instead of just complaining. I requested that the fire marshal get involved for HAZMAT and general code enforcement and the judge thought that was a great idea. He’s tasking the fire marshal to accompany the sheriff’s deputy for code enforcement. I’m not looking to get a bunch of fines imposed. I requested that they issue warnings with face to face contact and to follow up every 30 days. They thought that was reasonable. That was time well spent.

Cool. LMK when!

😂

^Ain't dat true!

Speaking of which, I gotta find out what shade of gravel is acceptable for my front yard...


EDIT: Madison Gold is the approved shade.

My HOA takes care of the whole front yard.

Yes, a great example of Western music is the band, Riders in the Sky.

There is another sub-branch, Western Swing, e.g., Bob Wells & His Texas Playboys

If I plant something it has to be on the approved list and I have to have the HOA landscaper actually plant it.

Our neighbors have a sign that says: We don't call 911.

I'm not a fan of country or western music but I understand and appreciate the musical talent. Nowadays country and western "music" rubs me wrong. It's a far cry from the older big name stuff like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Roy Clark, and so on.

I grew up having to watch Hee Haw every week (we only had one TV and 2 or 3 maybe channels that the rabbit ears could pull in). I didn't not like it, it was a good show but when Hee Haw was on, my parents and grandparents always watched it. It wasn't until I got older until I realized how damn good Roy Clark was on the banjo, guitar, and fiddle.

^ So you've watched Hee Haw.

When visiting Grandparents on my Dad's side way up north in Park Falls WI, had to endue the Lawrence Welk Show. But the positive was I learned a ton from them retired farmers and school teachers. When they semi retired from farming Gramps taught math at a public school and Grandma taught English. Reading, Writing, and Rithmetic... the three R's.

Also learned to drive a tractor with a front end loader when was about 12 yrs old thanks to them. I wouldn't trust myself to operate one of those these days but back in the day I was able to and didn't kill anyone.

The smells and sounds of a percolator coffee, bacon frying on the stove, eggs, toast... those sounds and smells will never escape my brain. Oddly enough, the smell of composted cow manure that drifts in the air around a farm in the spring planting time is a good smell memory for me.

Caught 53 crappie today...

Didja keep ‘um all or throw some back?

Filleted and released...

You’ll catch them later.
