Y'all come..

Catching up on what I missed last weekend. Hardly Strictly Bluegrass ... TV https://hardlystrictlybluegrass.vhx.tv/ Free to watch - I am watching Banjo Stage for Sunday - Specifically - Aoife O'Donovan & Hawktail I need to check out the Towers of Gold Stage that featured - DakhaBrakha But I will probably let thing just run a bit. https://www.hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/schedule Glad you could make out there @Grahame

8AM pst start. Continuing to test the grill with butts. This time, putting a 9lb bone in butt on the grilla.

Dreams by Gabor Szabo (1968) https://album.link/i/1644420785 Example: I have heard some of these works, but never the album. It is a great piece of work. Very enjoyable listen from a master. I preferred the 16 bit remaster vs the high bit rate version that I could get on Qobuz.

Yesterwynde by Nightwish (2024) https://album.link/i/1742167163 Example: Second listen through of the new Nightwish album this week. Always impressed with Floor Jansen's singing, but I also was drawn in to the writing of this album a lot. It includes the entire orchestral version of the album as well.

and.. Harlequin by Lady Gaga (2024) https://album.link/i/1770129269 Example: From The Fame Monster to Jolene to Harlequin, I am here for the many personas of Gaga..

Oooo... exposure 2010s

Bloody Tourists by 10cc (1978) https://album.link/i/1444101162 Example: 10cc on my head these days - so it is about time.... I don't like cricket (Oh no!) I love it!!

Nakamichi DRAGON drives JBL PARAGON

The Dynamic Rockers with Penny Marshall

^^ booo - blocked -- time to fire up the VPN. In the meantime - taking a more civilized look at history.

Listen to those reel-to-reels evermore my friend..

7 hours of YES Studio jams for the Going for the One Album? -- Sure... I admit it took a couple of days to get through this one, but fun stuff in there.

^^ this. But looks like: Keep On Your Mean Side by The Kills (2003) ex: thx HW

hehe - nice - that may have been at a 6yo level...

Polaroid Lovers by Sarah Jarosz (2024) https://album.link/i/1765643869 Example: Deluxe edition with a couple extra songs? Cool, good enough reason for me to listen to the lovely Polaroid album again.

more ai, but fun.

Just listening to the recently released Take 18 a dozen times or so - lovely - very live take.

I almost rejected your list until: ### Whisk(e)y or Wine Tasting Organize a sophisticated tasting event at a local distillery or vineyard. This can be a great way to explore new flavors and learn about the crafting process[5]. This AI thing is okay in my book. Happy Birthday Stretch - Cheers --

morning Butt pulled and wrapped 11 hrs at higher temp. second butt? you say... yup, the monster Costco package was cut in two. No butts the better. Grill cleaning time.. after two full days of running, the chimp seems to have done very well.

If anyone is interested who Raymond Kohn is, who signed the car. This guy: (also the people seem a little close)

20hrs @ 225 = 202° Lightly wrapped and resting. (whatever flaws you see, is just bad lighting}

first poke test on first butt mostly jiggly but not gelatinous

Checking out the first civilian spacewalk, I was not awake when this happened. Cheers to - Jared Isaacman and Sarah Gillis
