EXCELLENT!! Great to hear...my family and friends have had a terrible time with cancer. Your news is like a breath of fresh air!

Well, that hurt. I always looked forward to his posts and reading his "take" on things. RIP.

I remember it. I was a little kid, and I recall thinking- possibly for the first time- "This is a hustle." Being only 9 or so I wasn't sure what the hustle was, but I knew one when I saw it. Later in life I would have followed the money, of course.

This weekend I will not complain about the price of anything.

Well, kinda sad story...I've been using Lodge cast iron ware for the past 40 years or so with excellent results. Recently, on a whim, I purchased a Victoria 12" skillet from Amazon. Compared to the Lodge the Victoria has slightly finer casting, lighter weight, and a longer more ergonomic...

"On Hallowed Ground: The Story of Arlington National Cemetery" by Robert Poole. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

When I was in college my roommates and I had an "intact" tomcat that would make sounds like that when he was horny, which was most of the time. He would yowl down the lightwell of our building; the sounds were remarkably similar to those in that video. He did have a set of pipes on him! I...

As I understand it, Dolly is going to cease doing tours but will continue to perform on a more limited basis. Her husband has Alzheimer's and it has gotten to the stage where she feels she needs to be near him. Blessings on them both.

Interesting thread. I got my hearing aids about five years ago from the VA. While talking with my doctor- and good friend - he suggested that I check with the folks in Audiology. I told him that if I did have a hearing loss it wouldn't be covered as it wouldn't be service connected. Most...

Washed, waxed and polished the Bonneville yesterday. It was usually warm, so I did the waxing in the garage. Looks gorgeous. Woke up this morning to a nice, thick, wet fog. Figures.

Nice looking Kawasaki! What model is it? Do love me a sport tourer...

Beautiful machine. That picture does give me the jones to go out and buy another Electra Glide...rode nothing but FLH for 25 years. At 76 my Bonneville suits me beautifully, but still... Got to wash and wax my little friend later today... Do we have a great affliction or what?

Hadn't thought about it but yes, cicadas sound VERY much like my tinnitus. Oddly, my hearing aids make no difference.

I remember the buzzy little suckers from back when I was a kid in Des Moines. My brother and I found the nymph shells and the red-eyed adults fascinating.... They drove our parents nuts. Then suddenly they were gone. The bugs, not the parents....

Reminds me of an old Irish barman I knew many years ago....one minute you're creating a problem, the next minute you're standing outside with a smile on your face. Smoothest 86 in town.
