"I can hear you through the whine
And the Wichita lineman is still on the line"

His memory will live on through his music. RIP Glen Campbell

RIP Glen. I remember Campbell when he was a Beach Boy.

I drink cold coffee, I brew it, it gets cold, I still drink it.

Gary uses the same brewing methodology.

I had forgotten all about that. I attended a Beach Boys concert during that time frame which means I probably saw him. Thanks for reminding me, cool memory.

 

[Gary A.]

Before he made the big time, he's an incredible guitarist and worked in Hollywood as a backup guitarist for ... well most everybody.

I don't remember him being with the Beach Boys. RIP Rhinestone Cowboy.

It's SurePost or SmartPost, I forget which is UPS and which is FedEx. Not good for me because mail doesn't get delivered so a package will go right past my house then just sit up at the post office... and not driving I do a lot of online shopping for supplies. Thankfully there's a regular driver of the brown truck who's great about waiting at the door, and even the subs at least leave it on the table by the front door, while the white truck can't seem to keep regular drivers all that long.

With UPS there's a routine going, he toodles the horn for us regulars who he knows are usually home. I'm well trained like Pavlov's dogs - if I hear the horn down the street I'm up out of the chair then realize it's not for me it's for one of the neighbors!

I knew that, I'd just forgotten the Beach Boys gig.

That's funny!!! I wouldn't let that out to those close or you may have some prank "toodles" LOL

One of the local TV stations was handing out eclipse viewing glasses and were saying they were about out of them, showed a line about a mile long! lol Said they're doing it again one day next week.

I'll probably just do a pinhole thing. Remember doing that with kids the last big one of these eclipses.

Or it'll pour rain and the heck with it.

Buenas Dias Coffee Hosers. Gary and Mary Lou are in the patio watching The View. What a pleasant morning, blue skies, 77F, acceptable humidity. (Mary Lou is watching The View, Gary is working on a spreadsheet.) Gary has a Tri-Tip in the slow cooker, expecting a pulled beef/brisket end product. Gary just touched it his eye, which is burning like hell from the oil rediuse left on his fingers from the peppers he chopped and tossed into the slow cooker.

A piece of #14 welding glass (<$5.00 at a tool/welding supply store).

That's what they said... that and be careful buying cheap knockoffs on Amazon etc. Apparently it should be one with the ISO logo on it (the official one from the international standards org.). Said to look on NASA's websiteI think.

All this and watch it rain... last one I remember it was sunny. Kind of cool seeing everything looking polarized, like wearing polarized sunglasses but not as dark.

Gary just picked up a bunch of film stuff if anybody is interested. Mainly darkroom stuff, trays, tanks, et al.

If you're gonna wet print, you've just added another reason for me to fly out to SoCal.

And wine. And the company, perhaps, too...
