To a technical person or a musician there are probably subtleties in drumming that I know nothing about, but there's one drum solo that inspired a generation of drummers. It might not be the most difficult or technically challenging, but it set the standard for a drum solo as music. Every time it was played on the rock stations 30 years later the station switchboards were flooded with people wanting to know what they were playing. Ron Bushy, drummer for Iron Butterfly. In-na-gadda-da-vida That is a musical masterpiece that should be right up there with the Doors for moody music. |

It’s the only prescription sleeping pill that actually lets me get 3 to 4 hours of broken sleep. I’m not taking it every night as my doctor would like. I’ve never experienced the ER buzz, just a bit groggy the following day due to the fact I did not get enough sleep. I’ve gone 70 plus hours with no sleep, a body can not heal properly without proper sleep. For me 3 to 4 hours of broken sleep is better then none at all. I was on a dose of trazodone that should have knocked a horse out, so I was told. One doctor wants me in the hospital so I can be on a IV drip that will give me a full 9 hours of sleep, that’s not happening!!! PS The Ambien 10mg does not help either, I tried for an entire month every third night. I went through a long time not sleeping right. Someone mentioned that people who drink heavily rob their bodies of some chemicals that never come back. I take the 10mg and it does it for me. I totally feel how you feel after years of bad sleep. I wish I had something wise to say. |

Thor is doing much better with house breaking this week. Daddy had to figure him out. He doesn't have any problems in the crate for eight hours at night, no fussing. My former loved cattle dog Zach's bed is all cleaned up and waiting for him as soon as he can be trusted on the carpet. Doggie gates to the carpeted rooms and crate rated for 110 pd dog were geat investments. He's a little nugget machine, can poop seven times a day. I don't know where it all comes from? His poops look a lot better than puppy squish when I got him. They're solid and wet now. Quality kibble with a third of a can wet food mixed in for the morning feed and I take away the dry kibble bowl at 6:00 PM. 2 mile walk every morning except Saturday. Truck traveling in the F-150 is becoming pain free too. Bath time and clipping toe nails are already part of the program. He's starting to get with the program and not even five months old. He's had all his shots now, his little bags have dropped and neutering is scheduled for 08/07. I'm also going to have the vet remove his dewclaws when he's gassed. They serve no purpose and getting an angle to clip them is a real bear for old Daddy. I've been able to fast track Thor being retired. It makes me appreciate Zach even more as I had to do all of these things on the fly with him while I was working ten hour days. Thor is going to be a little champ in short time thanks to Zach, RIP little buddy. We got a 3 month old pup just before Christmas last year. My wife fought the idea of getting a dog while I was still on active duty because I was gone a lot and we moved around a lot. She was probably right (as usual). He's a yellow Lab and weighed about 30 lbs. He is pushing 85 now at 11 months and will probably put on about 10 more lbs as he grows up and gains his "man" weight. Even though we have a relatively large fenced in yard, he needs a ton of exercise. I walk him at least 2 usually three times a day for about 30 minutes or so and my son gets on his long board and gets dragged around the neighborhood at least once a day. He jumps in the pool and swims around every chance he gets and he is still a bundle of energy. He is not the most disciplined dog in the world, but were working on it, and he sometimes is a pain in the arse, but I wouldn't trade him for the world. I'll be 60 in December. Hopefully we'll grow old together.   Aww, who's a good boy? Sweet doggie |

I let my retriever out around midnight tonight and she started making a ruckus at the far end of the yard. We have a lot of trees and shrubs and I figured she had treed a cat. I got there and it was a young racoon. She went up into the corner of the yard shrouded by trees where it's totally dark and became even louder and more agitated. I'm guessing she had the mother cornered there and I didn't want her tangling with a full grown 'coon. I finally got her to come back down into the light and had to snatch her up and carry her into the house. Not a small dog, but I'm pretty big myself. Nothing like a ruckus at midnight to get the heart pumping. So much for getting to sleep anytime soon. I'd have some scotch, but the cabinet's empty. Sigh. We had a retriever that when he went for his first annual checkup, the vet said: You have a lab and what? I didn't catch what he was trying to say. Eventually he let out that he was half pit. Folks, if you ever buy a white lab and every other dog in the litter is black he may be of dubious parentage. The vet told us (that like our twin corgi mixes) that momma may have had more than one date at the opportune moment |

If you ONLY new what went through my mind once I read your last sentence.....I’m glad I had no liquid in my mouth.
So, I’ll explain with a short paragraph: while living on the Island of Malta I started to date a very attractive “ natural blonde “ ( I was old enough to tell) had a wonderful personality, intelligent and well spoken......everything was going great right....” WRONG “....two months into the relationship “ this blonde “ ( not fair to use her name just in case one of you guys are now married to her...LMAO ) the year 1987, we are out having a romantic dinner, which was all set up by “ the blonde “ we make a toast before the appetizer, looks at me and says “ your going to be a daddy “! My reaction must have been stone faced, the next words out of my mouth was “ WTF are you talking about “! She starts crying and many patrons sitting near us heard the conversation. This one woman comes over to the table and gives this “ blonde “ a hug and proceeds to walk towards me and said to me very loud “ your wife tells you your about to have a child and that’s how you respond to her “! Well, I had just about enough.....I stood up looked at “ blonde “ and this woman and said quite loud, “ back in 1983 while in the States, made a doctors visit, was a specialist and I was neutered/ had a vasectomy and had a complete check up before moving to Malta. The doctor also stated, your blood work is fine and your 100% sterile. So lady, who do you owe an apology to now “!!! I walked out of the restaurant, the very next day went to my Embassy and filed a restraining order against “ blonde “, youbetchya....never saw her again! I did hear from a Maltese friend months later... “ your daughter was born, she’s quite dark, lol “!

Speaking of dark children, which I would not do to be demeaning. Somewhere in my family's history, like great great aunt got preggers. She, I guess, was worried about parentage as she went around telling everyone that she had a dream that a black horse ran over her, so if the baby was a little dark that would be the reason. That's an anecdote in writing, I believe by my grandmother, and tells of totally different times. I have not seen the letter in years, and don't recall if the child was born or what happened.

Really thinking about reviewing Presbyterian, but have no clue what to say: It's a 5 star blend? Heck, so is Captain Black Grape. Guess I should smoke a few bowls, but I am really peeved that this is so good. I don't need more TAD at this point in my life. I was actually starting to go through pouches and tins. I might have even smoked my cellar before I croak. Not likely now.

@cosmicbobo Presbyterian is really good. It balances the dry orientals and virginias well. Just don't mix it with Captain Black Grape.

Have to admit I smoked Captain Black Grape one time and it was my last time! I’m glad I smoked this overly topped chemical like blend in a cheap Cob. It was sent to me as a sample, the rest was tossed in the garbage. I was not about to get a fellow pipe smoker ill by passing this 💩 crap 💩 on! I just now decided to read some reviews on this gut wrenching blend, I can’t believe some pipe smokers rated this @ 4 stars.
This one review sums this awful blend best:
“ Years ago Peretti's had a lightly grape flavored blend which they called Lexington. It was a pleasant diversion as I recall, sort of a Lakeland style with grape. They no longer offer the blend but I had vaguely fond memories of enjoying it at least a few times. While I don't ordinarily smoke Captain Black products I took a flyer and ordered the new grape edition. Half a bowl later I can only say that this is one of the vilest concoctions I have ever smoked. I smoke some English/oriental/Balkan blends and some aromatics. In the aromatic catergory I am especially fond of some of the Dan tobaccos, most notably Devil's Holiday. I mention this only to indicate that I am not anti-aromatic and, in fact, enjoy strongly cased aromatics. However, this tobacco is so strongly cased with a chemical agent and so oddly flavored that I actually became nauseous after half a bowl. It is enough really to put me off pipesmoking for at least a day or two. Smoke this at your own risk but please use a cob or some pipe that you really hate (I used a Dagner cob poker which I use for trying new tobaccos prior to using any of my good briars). It would really irritate me if I had ghosted one my better pipes with this criminally bad stuff “.

It was in a baggie and a tad dry. I posted here I was smoking it, and someone who knows I malign grape blends every chance I get cheekily commented, "How are you liking that grape?" I was dumbfounded, because I detected no grape at all. Later I bought an ounce from SP. THIS time I could detect a hint of grape in the blend, but it was only a hint. There was a bit of grape when I first lit up, but very shortly into the smoke that was all gone. I haven't bought a tin yet, I am almost afraid to, lol. Maybe by buying in bulk I can avoid the grape characteristics. |

Saratoga came up unusually lame for opening weekend of the summer meet. Both feature races are unplayable for me. Fortunately, Del Mar is also in swing again this weekend as well. Where the turf meets the surf used to be Bing's old hangout and they have good cards both days this weekend.
I have one more trial scheduled next week and my jury duty tour will be over. I'll be exempt for at least two years afterwards.
Thor chewed off the corner of the only rug I left down in the house to keep the recliner from scratching the hardwood. It's dumpster action. Nothing to do now but get out the scissors and wait until his teeth all come in before getting a new rug.
I suppose everybody has heard the Mega-Millions jackpot is an insane $493 million. So much for all that money spent on commercials telling people to play responsibly huh? If they were really serious about that one they'd cap it at a certain amount and pay it out to the next best tickets if nobody cracked it. Your odds are better of being struck by lightening - Twice. That's not gambling - That's just giving it away.
Y'all have a good weekend.
