Almost 2 rock groups. Post

Humble Pie was the best Rock band from the british invasion.
Can't say that about Frampton or Stewart especially. Not knocking them they weren't ever the driving force in HP.
Stewart pre HP.

The yard bird turned out good. Had some corn on the cobb and rice added to it. Should though in a jar of snaps also. Plenty left over may do that yet.

Thanks for the news on Stu, Del.

As opinionated as I am I'd still hate ta hafta make the 'best of' call. I'd have ta call it for The Beatles if I did.

Pasta was decent. Smoked sausage cut up 'n dumped in. Sprinkle of garlic powder, a l'il fake salt, real black pepper 'n some grated Parmesan.

Rack time. Gotta be up 'n watchin' the NEF nest. The male's shown up for shift change 0638 Monday, 0637 yestitty 'n 0639 taday. Wanna see how close he is tomorrow.

Best concert I ever went to was early 90's $5, local HS of all places, went early stood till the janitor let us in, got front row center.

Remnants of a band with some younger fill ins, Jerry Rivers and Don Helms, heck of a show, Jerry on his fiddle and Don on Goliath, love and up-right steel, wanted one when I was 5, never got one.

Would have loved to see the whole band in their prime, but I was born a few years to late, my luck he would have been a no show anyway, the no show before Jones, was a no show for the New Years show in 53, his last no show.

My Mom and Dad took me to see Hank Sr. in Amarillo in 1951, I do not remember much about it.

Thank you Del, for Stu's up-date, prayers & best wishes continue...

64 ° & a little Foggy, looking at upper 70's today.... still on PTO except I have to go to a Manager's meeting @ 10:AM for a couple hours.
I also need to stop by HD for some PVC parts ( Target stand ) and some paint supplies ( restoration of the old trunk project ).

the other-side of the coin, is they wanted $75 to deliver it

I said, "screw that ....I'll go get it "

litl rooster · December 04, 2014, 08:04:09 AM

Yesterday i harvest seeds from a couple fairy tale Pumpkin's. Couple of things. Don't plan on carving one like a jack o lantern. I started with a machette but ended up using a trimming saw. Too lazy to go get sawzall from shed. 2ndlee, the flesh is bright orange and will stain your hands or things it touches. Un like Laura Ingels i don't have a loft to store them for winter.
3rd i under stand they are very edible. However i just wanted the seeds for planting next season.

The orange one seemed brighter

Remembered a music funny from years ago, had a good stereo in the old Plymouth Fury, Rita and I were going shome where and I had the classic Pink Floyd Umma Gumma from 1969 on, had Astronomy Domain on, she wanted to listen so something else, didn't like music druggies made.

OK, I changed, put on Hark or something like it.

A few weeks later I walked into the living room and she had an Elvis movie on and he was singing in it like always, yep I mentioned music made by druggies, funny how people are so quick to cast stones and get up-set when they get tossed back.

"And the people with short hair started throwing rocks at the people with long hair and the people with long hair started throwing them back."

Victoria and I slept in this morning. I finished off the last of the apple bran muffins with my Cawffee. No clue for lunch. It's overcast and misting, with a high of 50s.

Texas Lawdog · December 04, 2014, 01:35:17 PM

I fixed some sausage biscuits for lunch. No clue for supper.

Arcey · December 04, 2014, 02:55:10 PM

Did ya try a torch, Roo?

Gonna be difficult ta find a musician or singer of any genre that ain't screwed up. Hearin' Bob Seger's gone off the deep end.

Hunted the GC. No bird. Two of the photographers talkin' by the soccer field. Left mine on the back seat 'n walked o'er ta talk. Bird flys low o'er the three of us. Roosts inna bad spot. The two ladies decide ta walk ta the point. Sat my rear end on the fence. Last two folks I know of walked the point he, if it was he, flew 'n that's what I wanted. Stayed on the point awhile 'n he stayed on the tree. The other two left. I sat there 'n damned if the bird didn't fly. Got 'im. He hits a dead tree 'n roosts there. Too far off for my lens. Drove to the closer, other side. One photog from the other side t'was already there with one I ain't met. Bird still there but not for long. Flew again 'n I got 'im 'til he got outta sight.

Here's one:

Others on the FB page.

Cabbage is reheatin' 'n the aroma's 'bout ta drive me batty. 'Taters in the round black one. Ham'll be later 'n by then I'll be starvin'.

Major 2 · December 04, 2014, 04:26:56 PM

litl rooster · December 04, 2014, 08:47:15 PM

I need to make some new ones for some steel plates i have. I need to friend a plumber for some iron 3/4" 40sched. It getss pretty expensive from home depot.

My wood stands work good for silhouettes. Or the orange fencing backers. Cost less than $5 each. Pipe alone is more than that.

Still warm this December full moon night.

Delmonico · December 04, 2014, 10:15:28 PM
