Man on days like today let’s all head to the beach. Warm sands nice clear water. Where is your favorite beach? South west Florida for me. Or the Mediterranean I’ll take either

I've been to some beautiful beaches on the Adriatic side of Italy.

 

[Lilianna23]

Win win.

Or as @likes2watchU will say.

“Put that one in the win column!”

It's a win till you have to pit the cherries!

The old hoe is worth her weight in gold.... she is a great hoe

Let's name her

Hortence the hoe!

 

[Lilianna23]

I knew that I like old hoes, but I had no idea how many uses a good old hoe has . . . .

If you treat her right, you'd be surprised what you can get an old hoe to do!

Trip to Canada part 3: relaxing at the stunning Lake Muskoka. I’ll forgive the Canadians for no fireworks yesterday…

Looks idyllic. Love the toes, BTW!

 

[Lilianna23]

This is just getting better and better.

Somehow, I thought you might like that!

 

[Lilianna23]

Morning all...
This may take me a while but I'll give it a go...
UPDATE: yeah - I started this 12 hours ago
How you doin'?


Guessing I'm a "sad coffee person" since I drink decaf?

I had about a decade of fabulous Irish/Celtic groups performing at Irish Fest Milwaukee before I ever went to a concert, concert. High expectations were set.
Makem and Clancy
Barley Bree
Schooner Fare
Tannahill Weavers
Cahal Dunne
The Chieftains

All reading counts... all (just not the pictures)

Win Column!!*
*spoiler alert

Huh - I got mine from 1) a ripping belch, 2) mimicking the Scottish brogue from my year studying abroad*
*IF it was any good then - it's rustier than an old barn nail now

I don't know how the kids do it. I think my lucky every day!

I've had some practice but am open to an apprenticeship

Done! Thank you

Right? Just the read-through alone

Auditions Now Open - See the boys in the band at the back of the café for details

Never underestimate the power of a good Google or YouTube search... knowledge is power!!

I've not tried those yet, but just bought more Bing Cherries yesterday, so had them for breakfast :cherries

OMG - yes... such a good thing!!

I had to do the same a while back for my car, which has been really good about maintenance all these years. So, small price to pay overall IMO.

Awww - thanks for including me

Yay, Mom!!

Harmony is beautiful... but tougher than it looks
I better start brushing up

Making a list
Checking it twice

Self-Care Mode


Wow - I was impressed in the 80s with Rick Allen of Def Leppard.

You betcha!!

Love the pink hoe! I think she'll perform better if she feels good about herself. Nothing like a little slap to make a girl feel pretty!

I'd be happy to teach you what I know about restraints!

In the meantime, whilst we deliberate... anyone want to sing harmony?

"Baby Got Backhoe"
Parody of "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot

[Intro]
I like big backhoes and I cannot lie
You other builders can't deny
That when a rig rolls up with that arm so strong
And a bucket scoopin' on—I'm gone!

[Verse 1]
I get sprung when I see that swing,
Steel treads, boom arms doin’ their thing
Lifting loads, diggin' deep in the dirt
I’m watchin’ that cab and I’m feelin’ alert!

Oh, baby—I wanna operate ya
And smooth-grade with ya
Those hydraulics got me tweakin’
Front loader dreams while I’m sleepin’

[Chorus]
Ooh, full throttle!
That diesel engine’s my role model
Use it, move it, break that ground—
Even Bob the Builder would be proud!

[Bridge]
So fellas! (Yeah!) Fellas! (Yeah!)
Has your site got the scoopin' stuff? (Hell yeah!)
Tell 'em to rev it! Rev it!
Rev that big ol' backhoe!

[Hook]
I like big backhoes and I cannot lie!
Smooth on tracks, they terrify!
When a digger creeps in with a long boom stick
And a counterweight thick—
You get whipped!

Hilarious! We need to add this song to our set list!

I agree, they are dead easy. In my youth, I used to make many different kinds of cheesecake because I had addicted friends who could afford to buy them.

I started making them after I retired. I've now adapted most recipes for minis. They're easy to portion and freeze well.

 

[Lilianna23]

I have super mixed feelings about this song. Byron used to post it incessantly for reasons and I hated it when he was alive, now it reminds me of him.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

I like the Beatles quote: “Ringo’s not been the best drummer in the Beatles.”

I like Keith Moon a lot. He was a bit of a nut.

Like Meg White from the White Stipes. She did a lot with so little.

Clem Burke from Blondie (he just passed)

David Robinson from the Cars.

Bun E Carlos from Cheap Trick

In my early teens I thought Dave Clark was the best and then enlightenment. I agree about Keith Moon.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

I made you some Black Forest Cheesecake bars!

Chocolate cheesecake on Oreo crust:

Oh thank you . Unfortunately they and you are too far away to enjoy completely ,

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

I'm good with being in the chorus line. Just don't ask me to sing!

Can you dance?

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

I actually prefer the bings. I think they're sweeter. I like Rainiers, too.

Cherries are coming to the Great Lakes State. I know local strawberries are here.

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Good morning all. I have a short taxi run this morning. Hopefully I have my son riding shotgun. Lots of people have left town probably to go North and West to the lakes and cooler temperatures. Bless them and safe travels.

I am hanging out here. Have some coffee and a good day

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

I'm so glad your mom's procedure went well. I'm sure it's a relief for you.

Had a minute this am to try and catch up…impossible on this thread. Just a quick update. The Ablation went fine but her heart rate dropped off to 38bpm twice overnight. The doc decided a pacemaker is the way to go so that is being done today. Not sure if it’s the old style that just keeps in rhythm or the defibrillator style? I’ve heard there are two types.

Anyway, she’s doing good for having to go through two procedures in a short amount of time.

Oh…did get to glance over some other posts…first concert…Johnny Cash! I was six…maybe seven. Came to our local High School and my parents drug me along. I didn’t understand the significance of it until many years later.

Fave drummer? I came of age in the Neil Peart and Stewart Copland era…pedestrian I know, but they were good. All the others mentioned were awesome also! Always appreciate a good drummer.

With that need to wrap up and leave you with some River MZ———

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

My morning backyard visitor.

 

[Missk_2022]

Morning all will try to catch up later

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Do you think Wat will let us attach a horse head to the new hoe??

Ooooooo, I know the answer to this one.



No.



Oh Hell no.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Meanie!

Whucher point?????

 

[Wat_Tyler]

This is good to know!

Very good to know.

 

[Missk_2022]

That sounds good!

It was delicious

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Then she's paid for herself!

Not quite, but the old hoe is headed in the right direction.

 

[Missk_2022]

Hortence the hoe!

Hmm
