Remind me that the Verse Of The Day needs to make the journey to the new digs.
My wife is having a rough time. Not only with the loss of her beloved brother in law. But she is helpless to be there for her sister. And the rest of the family. She was their rock for a long time. It’s been a very long day. My heart is breaking for her. I haven’t sat across from her… Read more »

Wound up taking my nap anyway, even as late as it was. Had some chili with my cheesy scrambled eggs and feeling all good and cozy right now.

On behalf of my wife, thanks guys. Between the Constables and Harris County Sheriffs investigative department and have a renewed faith in law enforcement. Also, I can’t really call the Cracker Barrel family support diverse as I’m not sure Robin wasn’t the only white person there lol, but for these past few days anyway, nobody noticed any skin color. So,… Read more »

#118 GJT, What they said,… and what a nice tribute to a fine lady. So sorry for your loss but she would have been so proud of that service. Let me rephrase that; She was proud of the service.
I was awestruck just reading that, GJT. Kudos to your wife for being able to hold it together enough to give that eulogy. Kudos to Deputy Jennings also. Comforting to know there are still some good guys out there in the world.

Had the funeral this morning, most incredible service I’ve ever attended. Place was packed with Cracker Barrel employees, customers, friends and family. Deputy Constable Jennings attended with his wife, he was the first on the scene when Robin went down, then stayed with the family all day at the hospital. My wife gave the eulogy, did an incredible job, I… Read more »
Well, all the rest of my plans went away since I spent all my time messing around with the lucky dogs, so now that they are gone, I decided to cook my cold weather chili project that has been on hold most of the week. I did, and it turned out very good except perhaps just a bit too spicy.… Read more »

I don’t recall the drummer discussion, but this guy was always up there in my list of people I would have liked to play with. An absolute madman, which I think was why him and Ox were so good together. Constant tension, but in a good way.
Good news on the dog front. A lady called and said that if the owners didn’t show up she would like them, and I suggested that she might consider fostering them; an offer which she jumped on. Turns out that the Hispanic older couple comes in to Larrys from time to time, and they lost their 20 year old dog… Read more »

Stocked up on foods for me, the cats, and the outdoors critters. I can’t stop thinking about Hammy, passing away at home alone. Hoping that he didn’t suffer, and wondering if the cause will be determined.

But you know how I feel about chihuahuas.
I am right there with you. Thank goodness for people like Gordo and SD that can handle chihuahuas.

Some lady called and said that she would like to take the brown female. I told her that she may think she sees two dogs in those photographs, but what she really sees is one dog with two bodies. Those two are inseparable – I could tell that from the beginning. There are never more that a couple of feet… Read more »
Supply chain woes: Granted, this is a somewhat luxury item and not a necessity, but I ordered a custom bass (L-2000) from G&L back in June 2021.

I just heard from my Sweetwater rep today with another updated delivery estimate early… Read more »

Okay, got the work computer in repair mode.
I went to Aldi today, found out they had blackberries on sale again, 85 cents/pack. Yeah, I picked up a bunch. They’re loaded in my dehydrator now.
I think I need to name that thing, so I don’t have to type out dehydrator all the time. Any ideas?

Doesn’t get much better, if you wanna talk about drums and bass playing.

Wonderful tribute.
I guess my work computer will need the efforts of a professional. I can’t keep it unfrozen enough for a diagnostics program to run.
Sucks. I wanted to get stuff done, and now it’ll be days (only days, if I’m lucky) before I can feel productive again.
Speaking of drummers.
Everyone knows that their retarded misfit first cousins are the bass players.
I always thought this ancient song was good evidence of it.
🙂
It’s a great story.
One we needed so much.
After all, this is the January from Hell. And it’s only the 21st.

He admitted it. Another 24 hours and he was toast.

No doubt a better example of Bonham virtuosity.
I’ll never forget the day, recently, that a discussion about drummers threatened to boil up around here.
Hammie shut it down quickly.
There’s Bonham. And then the rest.
I love a good dog story with a happy ending. Glad to hear this was one of them.
