    My friend sent the singer Meat Loaf a $100 and asked if he could send a video message to his dad for his 60th birthday. Not only did Meatloaf do it but it was a 25 minute video message! Without asking, Meatloaf even made a commercial for his dad's auto shop! (Even if his dad's shop is in a town of 11 people in South Dakota) How cool is that!

    Cool!  
    I have to ask, what town in SD?  
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpenter,_South_Dakota

    I clicked on the Wikipedia page and noticed the second picture is two of my friends who are from the Twin Cities. There must have been 12-14 of us who went out to his parents farm one weekend from the cities. After a long night of adult beverages we showed up at their local diner the next morning. (Just outside the picture of my friends) The poor older husband and wife who run the diner was shocked when they saw 12+ people show up. I'd imagine our group was more people than the diner sees all day long. We pretty much ate everything that had in stock. We made sure to tip nicely. How funny that we made their Wikipedia photo!
    So, so cool!
    Reason I ask is that, coming home to Sioux Falls from a gig in ~'80, my band's station wagon got a flat outside of Manchester SD https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester,_South_Dakota which I see is gone now.  Pop 35.  Couple guys in a pickup helped us out, and we bought them a beer in Manchester: maybe 6 houses, a gas station, and the building we entered, had a bar in one corner, store in the second corner, groceries in the third, and a barber chair in the fourth (outhouse out back, not heated).  
    One of the guys who stopped, and our bass player, served in the same unit in Vietnam, but at different times.  They started swapping stories (something we don't normally get to hear).  What a fantastic afternoon.
    Good times, good times.

    Wishing I could go back to sleep and start the day over.
    Fuel pump has gone out in the Arctic pu$$ again..This will be pump number 3 in less than a year.
    Went to back to my utility trailer and realized someone stole my hitch last night ..I hate a fuggin thief..
    Got a New hitch and then figured out trailer lights aren't working....
    Re-wired the trailer... and nope not the trailer after a re-wire...of course the Taco is now out of warranty and trailer plug is shooting sparks and blowing fuses..

    And...I just cracked a tooth..

    Clear skies, tho a bit humid, providing a beautiful view of the waning crescent Moon (with a nice bit of earthshine) and a brilliant Venus nearby this morning.

    Yep. Unfortunately for me Mars is setting in the morning now and that view of the sky is obstructed by trees at my location.

    There should be some kind of part warranty on your pump

    Just returned from a rare opportunity.  My son knows a group of owners at a small local brewery in Louisville.  Turns out one of the owners has quite a bourbon collection which he sells to the public.  However, of late he has decided to cull some of the collection.
    Today he offered the Blanton's Green (sold in Japan) and Gold (UK release) at close to cost price.  Limit 2 oz per customer.
    The evidence:

    It was worth every $$.  Better to be lucky than good any day!  
    Edit: the bottled proof and finish are totally different.  The Japanese and the domestic (USA) are bottled at 93 proof.  The UK version comes in at 103 proof.  The finish difference is quite noticeable.
    I like high proof whisky with a dash of sparkling water. The high proof diluted in the glass makes for a different taste again.

    Nice!!  I have found I enjoy a nice bottle of Blanton's more than my previous go to which was Macallans.

    @Ozzie_Isaac - Glad you have found the promised land of the brown water.  
    Unless you are seeking out the truly rarified brands I am confident you can enjoy smooth whiskey at a more reasonable price point than those blond water wannabe's.   B)

    I hope that someone hears something about her. And I certainly hope all is well.

    @Ozzie_Isaac see if you can find a bottle of Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style.  ~$50 and deceptively smooth for 115 proof.  A new favorite for me.


    Love you bro!
