Another YouTube link that doesn't work at the tap of my finger. It's getting frustrating. I have recently had YouTube video posting disfunction

 

[Dan]

I hope the cat wasn't this one, Dan...

Judging by the photo ( because I can't open the video for whatever reason) I'd say that's Cat Stevens!!

 

[CGVT]

I still don't know why videos don't post for me...

Muddy Waters. The song is Cross Eyed Cat.

A great, great blues song from the 1977 album, Hard Again

Yeah I'm so sorry,
I got to leave my woman alone
Yeah I'm so sorry,
I got to leave my woman alone
Well you know she got a crosseyed cat,
Livin' without that man in her home

Every time I start to see this woman,
He's in the corner growlin' or layin' down
Every time I start to see this woman,
He's in the corner growlin' or layin' down
Yeah, you know he's too big to be a house cat,
And he's too small to be a lion
There's somethin' wrong

Yeah, I stop by my baby's house,
He start jumpin' from wall to wall
Yeah, I stop by my baby's house,
He start jumpin' from wall to wall
Then he's lookin' crosseyed at me,
Sit back in the corner and licked his balls

Yeah, my woman got a crosseyed cat,
Livin' there with her in her home
Yeah, my woman got a crosseyed cat,
Livin' there with her in her home
You know I try so hard to do her right,
But it seem like everything I do is wrong

More like fans in general who enjoy and understand the game......the Paul George incident is very unfortunate though!

 

[sfgoat]

Funny how a song can so easily take you back. This is from before my time but it was something my parents played frequently just reminds me of good times.

That's a beautiful picture LRB! It is America!

I've played this one before, and I'll probably play it again and again.

Red Skeltons "Pledge of Allegiance"

I'm on a soap box. You can scroll down to the next thread. Please.

America is free, given to us from the greatest generation that ever lived. We easily forget the sacrifices they made for us, and the toughness it took from them all to pull the USA through two world wars. Their sacrifice was nothing we can even comprehend now. We live in comfort because of our ancestors' sacrifice and commitment.

Today, we ignore the two nuclear bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the thousands of lives killed. We have forgotten how many died on each side of the World Wars. We live in an entitled time; a time where our biggest concern is probably how big of flat screen we have, and credit card payments.

Me Too!

Where will America be if we take everything for granted? When we only feel entitled and don't want to sacrifice our lifestyle.

George S Patton, played by George C Scott in the movie, "Patton" is a hard ass SOB. If you ever get a chance to see a picture or video of the real George Patton, you'll realize GC Scott was more impressive on Technicolor.

Patton, along with many Americans gave his all. There is no way we would have the cushy life we now have, without our grandparents giving us this life. Everyday we should remember to say thank you.

[Dan]

As much as I admire men like General Patton. I admire the spirit of Americans just as much, probably more.

If you're reading this post from the comforts of an American home or workplace we're on the same playing field.

It's easy to forget this.. AMERICA IS THE GREATEST HOME EVER! AND! Always worth fighting for..

Just like our grand and great grand parents did.

 

[Dan]

With a glass raised high. I wish you Cheers!

 

[Dan]

PS... on the Patton video commentary... Anybody else hear the sound of Ronald Reagan?

 

[bob1852]

Patton's wife had a hard time sitting through the movie because of how well of an imitation job George C. Scott did.

 

[Pomylka22]

Just FYI Patton is available to watch on Netflix currently

Boat motors, motor boating. I'm drunk and like both. Insurance says we have to get rid of the trampoline. Wifey and I are going to decommision it tonight...go to sleep boys! Seriously, put the kids to bed and get out there on that trampoline

 

[lschiavo]

I got stood up. I deserve it I'm sure.

 

[ChefRex]

Dan, be safe with your upcoming weather.

 

[Dan]

Dan, be safe with your upcoming weather.

Thanks ChefRex. We do have a couple storms heading this way. Isis, and Hugo, I think they're called. The big island is going to get the worst of it. If the first storm stays on course it will rip right through the big island, east to west and pass to the south of us. The second one is on a west-northernly journey and might miss Oahu.

They say these are the biggest storms passing through the Hawaiian islands in 100 years. Everybody is preparing for it. The stores were out of water days ago.

I've filled my 10 gallon igloo, and a rectangular 10g cooler full of water. The flashlights and lanterns all have new batteries. I have about 5 gallons of propane on hand for my SQ-14 burner (thank you homebrewing) and a butane stove with a few hours worth of fuel.

My wife filled quart bags with water and packed them in the freezer. We also have some bottled water. If the storm gets too rough, I'm going to fill the bathtubs with water in case we loose water service. I'll use it to flush the toilets.

Food? I think we have enough for a week, plus I canned quite a lot earlier this week - 12 pint jars of Red and Pinto beans. Worse comes to worst our belly's will be filled and the high winds should easily vent the methane.


PS.. Ischiavo, the best layed plans are often the most easily ruined. Sorry brother.

 

[Dan]

It's 12:44 PM, 8/7/2014 on Oahu.

Thought I might document this upcoming hurricane, tropical storm, from my backyard.

Right now. Pretty nice weather here. Blue sky, white puffy clouds and a nice breeze. I apologize if the photos come out sideways. I haven't yet figured how to post properly with my iPhone. You might want to turn your head.







Ps. I don't know what that brown streak is. It showed up a few days ago??? I also need to mow the yard.

 

[ChefRex]

Looks beautiful! Hope it stays that way.

Are you holding the phone with the long sides horizontal?

 

[Dan]

Nope. The long sides were vertical. I don't have a clue why this 90 degree shift happens when I post on HBT.

 

[Dan]

By the way, sorry I didn't say last post. Thank you once again for the well wishes ChefRex.

 

[bberg]

Nope. The long sides were vertical. I don't have a clue why this 90 degree shift happens when I post on HBT.

Read that as **** happens first... And reread as shift.. I got a good laugh.

Stay safe Mr.

And for ya'll camping, watch out for them ticks. I've been in and out of doctors and hospitals for 2 months from a tick bite. Lymes disease got me good.

I don't know how many of the guys here have to deal with balding. (short ramble) My wife was married before, actually we both were. She met a guy many years older than her and married him. I married her many years later after both her and me had gone through divorces.

Why do I mention her ex-husband and balding in the same few lines?

Her "ex" turned 70 last month. I turned 50 a couple months ago. HE has a head of hair thicker than a teenager, and it's not gone grey. I have the hair of a thinning balding man and I've been going grey for the last 15 years..

I don't get it. Why???

 

[ChefRex]

One of the things I do have is hair, gray hair but it's still full and I have a few years on you It's genetics.
Try rotating the phone next time, work wonders.

Neil Abercrombie, he's the governor of Hawaii. Truly, he looks like an aging 60's hippie. All he's missing is a short point of effort pony tail.

I think he's a Democrat. I am not going there. PP, I'm not going there.

This guy brought Hawaii out of a financial rut. He pissed off many people doing it. But I got to admit, construction in Hawaii is booming, most people work. I don't really like the taxes they place on food - It's ridiculous. California doesn't even do that.

Hawaii is a weird place. If you're a local you'll find strength of brotherhood that makes the Hells Angel's and I'll just say it cause so many are fascinated by the show... The Sons of Anarchy. (I love watching SOA, by the way) Those both have some crazy, loving brother ship.. Easily capable of both love and unyielding dedication to their way of life.

They consider themselves soldiers who protect their colors.. In my life and many Americans. Our USA flag brings on the same motivation and dedication.

really off track. I have no idea where I was going with this. I truly shouldn't hit the button to post it... But I will.....
