Building a nest there insures the babies bird will quickly learn the world is full of pricks.

 

[BBL_Brewer]

There's a dumb bird that invades my garage every year, makes a nest on a wood shelf I have in there (same place every year), and lays eggs. When they hatch, I have to remove one of the windows on my garage door so the parents can get in/out. I end up with bird poop all over.

What a great guy. Surely you have good karma.

I should have been watching the weather more closely. I should be brewing today. Probably the last good, cool day for a while. Oh well. So how's everyone? My spring fishing expedition is concluded. Back to the grind.

It'll take a lot of bird midwifery to make up for all the bad I've done in my life. Not sure where my ledger stands at this moment.

PP, none of us are perfect. Self evaluation and understanding one's own humility is important. Not everybody reaches that point.

I know, with a capital K, I am not perfect and have done things in my life that as I look back are bad. Mostly when I was a kid but I made a few mistakes as an adult too. Nobody is perfect. Self forgiveness is tough.

It is actually snowing right now and looks like it will snow all night. I am sure it will not accumulate much and will be gone quick but this spring totally sucks!

 

[Dan]

Ischiavo, you guys are having a hell of a winter that just keeps holding on. Hang in there brother. Summer will come.. Maybe? ipe:

I just went back and started reading this thread from the beginning. Couple pages and eventually read each hundred and fourth page. People have come and gone, I suppose that's how it goes. I'd just like to say everybody is welcome here. From the first posters to the people who just found this thread and those of you like me who are regulars here. I hope this thread never comes across as a member's only, or you have to fit in type a thread. This thread is yours. Each of you make this place what it is.

Dan I don't post a lot here but I do read it regularly and do find inspiration in it and thank you for starting it!
I do hope some of the little things I do now make up for some of the things I have done in the past because I am far from perfect.
Hope all is going well in your new paradise and you and your wife rekindle what was there in the first place!
Peace, Bob

It is 103+ here and we have fire tornadoes near San Diego (which are kinda cool from a distance, but houses are being burnt too).

I think I would prefer snow!

Kick back and relax late niters. Tomorrow is Friday and (unless you're in the UP) it's spring! Hope you have a picnic planned for this weekend. Start right now and plan your weekend (planning to do nothing at all is planning too, and probably the only way to make it happen).

Here's Groove Armada covering an old Patti Page tune. This song puts me in the right place. I just love the horn in the background.

I guess, if I actually had a choice, I will choose snow in May over your situation.

I think spring will be back this weekend...forecast looks pretty good.

I like your musical contributions. Where do you find this crazy stuff?

 

[HefeHood]

Evening All.

Gonna get LBR heat here this weekend, minus the fire. Saw the news tonight looks nasty out by San Diego. Cant imagine what it must be like to try to fight that mess.

Need to line up a brew day soon. Thinking of a hefe beer, light on the clovey taste. Need something light to battle the upcoming summer heat.

Dan - good to see ya on the thread again. Sounds like your getting adjusted to the islands. Hows Dasher doing? Hope that job comes thru for ya. Will be good for the mind and spirit to work. Something to look forward to each day. Yeah I know we all complain about getting up each day for work but id rather do that than not work. Should show ur prospective employer this thread, we all are great references.

 

[sfgoat]

Finally getting to sit still and relax for the night. Enjoying a black IPA while I wind down. Good night all.

 

[BBL_Brewer]

Great tune PP. Thanks for sharing. It has a certain insta-chill effect.

Glad to see you're still around Dan. I wondered if you might disappear into the sunset. Have you eaten at Jameson's on the north shore yet? The ulua is pretty darn tasty.

 

[LabRatBrewer]

Another day, smokey and hot hot hot....

You make this place special, Bob. Sometimes I don't feel like writing but just reading, that's pretty normal. As much as I can come across as crash and non-caring it doesn't show up to often here but I am at times. Military life made me humble and at the same time I can be an... not nice person. The rekindling is like starting a fire out of hard wood like hickory. Takes a lot of small kindling and time to build the heat enough to burn the sweet heavy hickory. Once that wood takes it burns hot and long. I'm definitely in the kindling stage and the wind (me) keeps blowing out the flame before it has a chance to burn.

Hey Hefe! Thanks man! Dash is adjusting well, he's a lover not a fighter, but disturb him when he sleeps and WOW.. Teeth and mean growl.. My wife has a little pom/chiwawa (sp) dog. He's six pounds of fun, jealousy and fury - Gives Dash a hard time occasionally but in general they get along pretty well. They say dogs reflect their owners..

PP, does always have some great tunes in his locker! Thanks BBL, haven't eaten at that place, still want to hit Gianardo's shrimp place on the north shore.

Man, it's scary. Fire tornadoes do look cool but wow! Hope things are only environmentally hot and no fires come your way LRB. I need to give my son a call down at Camp Pendleton. Lots of woods around there.

I'll see your Buster Poindexter and raise you a New York Dolls, Labrat...

Your son at Pendleton is much closer to the big fires than I am. In an unrelated fire, the building next to my office burned yesterday. Luckily, the fire department is literally across the street, so they were there quickly. There is some sort of small fire slightly inland of my home, here is the smoke from the freeway (filtered to make the smoke stand out):

While I'm more rock and roll and the blues I've been on a John Prine, John Hiatt kick
[ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSufO2FlpAQ[/ame]

 

[CGVT]

I am big fan of both. I have a good Pandora station that started with John Hiatt and has morphed a bit-some blues, some singer song writers, some alt-country, some Little Feat, Ry Cooder etc . If you want me to send it to you, you can PM me an email and I'll send it to you

 

[BBL_Brewer]

What a sad song ChefRex. Reminds me of how bright my Grandpa's eyes would get when my Dad and I would visit him in the nursing home. We tried to go everyday and probably hit 5 out of 7 most of the time. He had to share us with his room mates, who were usually a little starved for attention, but we didn't mind. Sure do miss that guy.

Thanks for the offer, but I have been crafting a station on Pandora for quite a while

Not meaning to be a downer, something a little happier although I haven't indulged in quite a bit.

Amazing how far along these guys got in just one week, from hatchlings to fluttering around the greenhouse. Can you spot the runt?

BB raising birds. Schweet!

Hope everyone's weekend is going great. I got up early and went to a car show with a friend, then a bike ride, then attempted to go out on same friend's boat but it wouldn't start.

So now I'm mowing the grass.

Here's a song that won't get out of my head. For your late nite soundrack, I Monster channeling Gunter Kallman Choir channeling Wallace Collection.
