Folks,

Here's some guitar picking by Joe Walsh.

When I lived in Wichita, Kansas,
Rumor was that he had an Aunt or Grandmother on some street and would always visit between tours.......
Gimme a minute to recall the name of the street....
I've lived in so dang many places.........
(That, and I'm getting old and feeble....)

With all of my "Collections," "Archives," yes, including ROCKS and butterfly's, you can imagine why I hate moving......Either across the state or four or across the street. I've done both....
Ahem! Pardon my digression.

Best,

By the way, Bill,

Says that the Video isn't licensed in my country.
NO PLAY!

Let's try this one, Shall We?



A "suitable" replacement.
Perhaps?

I have always wanted to attend a Joe Walsh, or Eagles concert, timing was never right.

This guy, I have seen twice only a two hour drive, each time.

I hope he gets a finger cramp!

OV,

Joe is a great guitar player....believe he does some work with Beth Hart.....I'll have to check around.

Perhaps, my Friends, you have heard of "Bump" keys.

A flaw found in locks that enable you to open doors.....

Discovered by a criminal.
Safeguards spawn patents...Dig? I got some ideas..... Think of variations of "spool" top pins....
(No, I'm not a criminal. Perhaps wanted from another State? For gettin' loaded in a "No Loading Zone?"
Me? Umm.... Maybe.....
What's their extradition policy?
WHERE THE HeCK is my lawyer?

"Oh....

I represent myself, do I?
I protest under habeas corpus and the statute of limitations!"

Ahem!

And today I opened a lock-out using the bump-key method....
A Schlage 5 pin mortise lock. So easy.....

Gotta stay on top of the game, right?

Scotty

The key pictured is a Yale Y1. 5 pin....

The slang name of 999 is because on factory code settings, cuts on Schlage 5 pin keys, the deepest cut is a 9.....
I wish that I knew how to contribute info to Wiki...

I got an account and I may have even contributed in the past....
But, I'm feeble and can't remember such electronic BS.
Mechanical?
Oh Boy! I'm your man!

Best,

Scott

OV,

Here you go Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa - I'd rather go blind.

He is phenomenal. He jams with quite a few people. The first time I heard him, on FM radio, I was impressed. A few years later BB King had his 80th birthday party tour, it came to the Britt festival in Jacksonville Oregon. Lots of great concerts.
BB's guest were Joe Bonamassa and Kenny Wayne Shepard.

Nightranger!
Who?
Brad Gillis Nightranger guitar player. With the passing of legendary guitarist Randy Rhoads in March 1982 during the Diary of a Madman Tour, Gillis was asked to step in and to finish the Worldwide tour. He can be heard playing lead guitar on Osbourne’s Speak of the Devil live album. Night Ranger already had a record deal with Boardwalk records, and Gillis chose to remain with them once his tenure with Osbourne had concluded.

Jack Martin Blades (born April 24, 1954) is an American musician.[1] He has worked in several bands: Rubicon, Night Ranger (as bassist and one of the lead vocalists), and Damn Yankees (as one of the founding members). He also recorded with Tommy Shaw under the name Shaw/Blades, and has done work alongside TMG, the Tak Matsumoto Group. His most recent efforts include a second solo CD. He is also a member of the band Revolution Saints

Folks,

The Eagles - New Kid in Town.

Well Played, Bill.
Well played, indeed, my Friend!

I remember traveling around with an older Antique dealer mentor when this particular song was popular.

Traveling.

From town to town.

All night driving.
From one auction to another...

Yeah, We knew what to look for.

Let me drop some names and terms....

Mettlach, Villory and Boch, Meissen, And that's just one facet....
You want to know of glassware such as carnival glass? Depression glass? Cut Glass? Press-cut? Leaded?
How 'bout furniture?

Now that's my forte!

Imperial style? Shaker? Federalist? Primitive?
Provenance?
Are the drawers joined with dovetail?
How well formed?
Any nails present? How old? Possible repairs?

Yeah, I know antiques...'Cause I'm antique...

Dig?

Best,

Scott

 

[AU24K]

Ya know, I like to cook and try new things....

Tonight, It's getting late and I thought I'd have a breakfast.

Eggs?
Certainly.
Sausage?
Of course.
Toast. Wheat, buttered with real butter.....

Sugar and cream in your coffee?
Yes, Please.....


So,

How to prepare my eggs?
Here's where "something new" comes in......

I "pam" a skilley, crack 6 eggs and slow cook until the whites start to turn white.



Then I add 4 tablespoons of warm water, slightly increase the heat and put on a lid....
Serve when yolk is still runny but white is cooked.
Garnish with your current whim. Mine tonight was garlic, oregano and paprika....

Over here, in this skilley, I've got the sausage cooking....
Yeah, you smell it cooking, don't you?
Did you want pancakes or waffles...I forgot....
(Just imagine my Campfire Cooking!)

I will never again cook breakfast eggs any other way!
DAMN, So good!

Another half dozen?

Not tonight....'Cause I need to get more sausage. Or Bacon. Or BOTH!

Best,

Scott

 

[AU24K]

And,

I still somehow get invites to join Mensa....
Even after 30 some years ago that I was contacted initially.....
When I took some test for Admission to College at KU....

USPS, Email.... They seem to always find me no matter where I move.....
Sheesh!
Seems they want to learn something about that which I'm not yet ready to share.....
(But I'm still working on....)

Scott

 

[AU24K]

Finally.

I post a tune...
This time,
With poigency ...



Scott

"Carry On Wayward Son"

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Ah

Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher, but I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming,
I can hear them say

Carry on my wayward son,
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man,
Well, it surely means that I don't know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune,
But I hear the voices say

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more no!

Carry on,
You will always remember
Carry on,
Nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry,
Don't you cry no more,

No more!

 

[AU24K]

Ah!

I have Friends with seeds of Hispanic and Asian influence.
I've tasted the differences...

Shall I consider you for our group's seed exchange?

CERTAINLY!

Scott

Got some seeds today...

Will send them your way soon!

Best,

Scott

Details?

Ummm...

They be HOT HOT HOT!

 

[AU24K]

I'm confused..

I reach for a drink.

The Guinness or the Amaretto?

Yeah, Sure, Both.
But, which one first?

Scott

 

[AU24K]

Strange thoughts and ideas...

Perhaps I'll wear my new slippers to work tomorrow....

Scott

"I say. Go for it. but what do I know?
Now, if you seek meteorite insurance, today's your lucky day...."

Next door to the Lock Shop, a space is rented to two fellows for storage who do the "Storage Wars" thing.
I've opened several things for them and made keys for different things like truck tools boxes and even picked a "Tubular" lock on a Coke machine and made keys....

Anywho,

They know that I like to camp and anytime camping stuff comes to them, I get 1st offer.
Back before Christmas, I bought a good 2 burner Coleman stove for $5.

Yesterday, Doug pulled in with a trailer full of the latest acquisition and I happened to be at the Shop.
I helped him unload and ended up buying some "shells," some tools and a tent.

No stakes, no poles.
Don't even know the brand name.
I told him I'd give him $10.

He said, "Sure. There's some other tent kinda stuff also that I'll also throw into the deal."
While he's talkin', ole Scotty is reaching for his wallet....

I made the offer because I could tell by the canvas material that it was of good quality.



So I opened it up this morning in the back yard.
Everything looks OK.



Now then, about the poles....never mind the stakes; I've got plenty.

I take measurements and determine that 3/4" PVC is the way to go.
I figure lengths and fittings and off I go upon my errands.

First was to get my haircut.

Then to Lowe's.
$27 and some change later for the PVC, I was at home putting it all together...
(Certainly, I'll modify a bit. This was the first go...)


It turns out to be a Sears "Hillary" model 308.771950.
Somewhat a scarce vintage model.
IN PERFECT CONDITION!





Floor is 9'x11' and center height is 6.5'.

Not a "Hiking" tent, but certainly a "base camp" tent!

Can't wait to try it out in the Mountains!

Hope All are Well!

Best,

Scott

PS.
In conjunction of the haircut,
I will shave.
I've never really looked good with a beard, even though it DOES cover my ugly face! LOL!

OH!

And the other tent stuff that I got was several panels of "privacy" camping curtains.
Them be goin' on the "Craigslist."

Gonna leave the tent set up overnight to air it out.
I'll take it down tomorrow before I get out the blower and dance some leaves to the curb!
