Doing good here Charlie.

God I cannot hear that without swelling with pride at what I believe we stand for. Hard to think even now that what we stand for could be stated so succinctly. Is a tune that makes the humping seem a little thing.Some of the first songs I learned on guitar were from a songbook covering their stuff, much of it on this album, the only one I've owned from them. "The Boxer", "Sounds of Silence" ... these songs taught me to apply my fingerpicking to songs that were actually good, and also taught me a lot about songwriting.
And even the songs I never learned from them move me so much. <singing quietly> I've come to look for America ...
My mom introduced me to them, the Beatles, and Bach. That by far forgives the Carpenters and Neil Diamond she shoveled at us.
I've been around enough to know how that happens sometimes, brotha, no worries.
It started pissing down right as the chicken was finishing, ended up grilling the bell peppers and onions a little too. Good lord but what it's hitting the spot. There's nothing in the world like fresh basil for me, as a flavor.
Most weather has passed, but we had strikes within a mile and lots of welcome water.
Simon is a truly gifted lyricist. He had mad skills for capturing moments, clear as photographs.God I cannot hear that without swelling with pride at what I believe we stand for.

And had to listen again. Recommended reading; Tim Obrien's 'The things they Carried'.Gotta post that.
Good Morning folkses..

The last couple of splotches went past us for the most part... Just some intermittent rain.... Thankfully...How're y'all weathering things, Ebby? I'm pretty sure we sent some ugly stuff your way. Y'all okay?

Insurance company's premier group contractor (whatever the hell that is) called this am and said insurance on my lake house has been approved so hopefully that'll be taken care of... Need a new roof and I think I'll toss extra to go steel.... A bunch of ceiling and wall work needs to be done too.... Ceiling sections in two rooms fell in and cracks in other areas too.... Hopefully it won't cost me a ton... Insurance is supposed to cover everything past the deductible so I think I'll come out ok... Just a hassle....
.The last REAL bad storm from hell a few weeks back dicked my lake house.... May have seen on the news then about big homes in a golf course on the border with GA plowed up by a tornado... Not my neighborhood but I could possibly drop a .30-06 round over there from mine just a bit north across the creek....
I'm a bit puzzled by this. Do you mean that you used a tinted varnish rather than a wood stain? With a wood stain, you can work the surface back and the stain is removed. Assuming you use progressively finer grades of abrasive then scratching wouldn't be a problemWell, yesterday's stain was too dark to sand back much, and it seemed like my every stroke of sandpaper was putting more scratches in it
Glad to hear it went throughInsurance company's premier group contractor (whatever the hell that is) called this am and said insurance on my lake house has been approved so hopefully that'll be taken care of...
We went from snow two weeks ago (not a lot, but. . ) to the last three days were high 80's, low 90's and thick!Only got into the high eighties today but it's fuggin' humid.
I'm postponing yard work and gumbo experimentation until after the heat is forecast to break Sat eve.
It's white pine. The stain, and that's what I used, gets a lot of penetration. Sanding it back to natural and keeping flat surfaces might be a trick outside my skillset, lol.Great wildflower pics Thump. Thank you.
