And there in is the 'kicker'! How do you play a title the same way twice? How would your fans know if you played the most-requested piece? I couldn't imagine it would be easy, but THAT is where Fripp and King Crimson could stand alone.

I'm not trying to imply that I am any sort of fan, afficionado or expert on the genre, which is known as "atonal music", and has been around since the early twentieth century, or that I even understand it on a technical or artistic level. But that having been said, I believe you all are giving short shrift to the legitimacy of it as a musical form as well as the depth of musical knowledge required to write and produce it.

From what I understand, he did MMM just to fulfill a contractual obligation, sort of thumbing his nose at the record company. R+R Animal was a one-time thing. He never did that really great hard rock stuff again. I saw him about 10 years ago at the Mountain Winery. He didn't do anything even close to rock and roll. |

The few times I heard it (long ago on PBS radio, when they still had music programming), it sounded like somebody who had never played a musical instrument before (badly) trying to. No, not even trying. It was just plain sh*t. Even just-starting-out teen garage bands sound better (and at least they can improve. )

I had a little spill the other evening, I was putting the dog out and the garage floor was a little wet from traffic and me using the hose earlier.
One of her hind legs slips out to the side so I had to make a sudden move to avoid stepping on her leg.
My foot then slipped and I was the one that went down.
I put my arm out to break my fall but the space heater caught me in the back on the right side about a third of the way up my ribcage. OUCH!
The toughest thing is sleeping, I normally toss and turn 6, 8 or 10 times a night.
It is VERY painful to roll over in bed and find comfort in any position but flat on my back.

^ Thanks Jimbo.
I don't think I've ever had an injury quite like this before. I am sleeping better and more.
Mama had to wake me up because I was snoring while sleeping on my back.

Was the skin broken? Any cuts or scrapes involved?
That would make it much worse. |

No cuts or abrasions, not even a bruise. Just some swelling. This is day 4 and I'm surprised it is taking so long to heal.

Hope you're ok aka. If the pain is still there, think it might be wise to go get an x-ray? could it be a fracture? Lookie here - we DON'T want to take you out behind the barn and put you down - the shells cost too much and the board would miss you...so get better, okeydokey?

^ Thanks, PaW.
I get by with a little help from my friends here on the forum.

Down to the last 1x2x3 foot chunk of log. And the teeth of the chainsaw wore out with just that little bit left to go. Going to try and sharpen the teeth with a whetstone for that final push (no sense in putting on a new chain just to dull it.) It was a combo of sand and dense heartwood that did in the chain. Still have the backup (ax) if need be...

Borrowed a neighbor's chainsaw & finished off the log & hauled the chunks to the curb. Still have to rake up chips & sawdust, but that project is finally done...

I think today may be the day, the day I cancel the cable TV. We are in a period of transition.
Avoid wasteful spending...$73.97 a month for the TV service. Those bastards charge us $13.98 a month for 2 receivers. I think I have paid for these fking receivers 3 or 4 times now!

This first connection was easy. I have 5 TVs connected to the same receiver.
Just take the cable out wire and hook it to the antenna out plug.
The converter allows both co-ax and the more modern 3 wire (component) connection. That's the one I was using for the big TV.
The TV in our bedroom will be more difficult, I will have to go down to the hellish, claustrophobic abyss that is the crawlspace.
I didn't even make it through all of the channels and I found an old episode of American Justice with Bill Curtis on the Escape channel.

If you're in the market for an antenna, check out SOLIDSIGNAL.com.
Great company and great deals!!! Close to you, too. I think they're located in Michigan. |

This is what I have now, or something similar to it. It's on a 10 foot pole on the peak of the house.
Probably about 35 feet in the air.

I'm pleased with what I am seeing, several hours of American Justice. Then they were showing Unsolved Mysteries, both of those were on Escape.
Now on Ion, Criminal Minds.
This was a big step for me, I am quite pleased with myself and so is Mama.
Edit: The antenna has an amplifier too.

I do have 2 fractured ribs, the back side of the ribcage.
Picture that lower rib bone, on my right, left in the picture rubbing into my liver.
I haven't had a drink in over a week.
I worked my butt off today with the antenna conversion, I think I'm OK now.

Guess I just didn't permenantly burn that highly important bit of info into into my brain, Ron.... Looks like you all have a respectable number of OTA channels available up there, though. Assuming you actually get them all. I'm assuming you do with that big 80 mile range antenna and signal amplifier. We still get more down here though. A couple more PBS stations, a few more indy channels and three all movie channels. You could actually subscribe to Netflix, Hulu and Acorn... and still pay less than half of what you were paying for cable. I'm not suggesting you should, but you could. |
