Man... if I had only known earlier. This is the first New Years Eve in 20 years that I have not had a gig somewhere. In fact, none of the guys I normally play with are playing anywhere this year. So I will spend this one at home with my kids.

Happy New Years!

THE question for 2006; silver or khakis?

Piston or Zipper?

When I get there, do you have a place where I can plug my motor home in?

...How long will your party (or the booze) last?

Anytime Sunday will be fine, too! Chocolate martinis, cosmopolitans, sangria... all frozen... lots left.

Dump station for the RV is at the neighbor's (next door).

Khakis (camo-fatigues) are more-or-less the uniform of the day around this ex-coal mine, pro-union part of the country. (I think there's two Budweisers left in the box for any red necks that might show up late.)

Can't miss the place. It's the one with the sousaphone out front and a toilet on the porch!

I think that guy's still on the toilet out front:shock:

Isn't that the place that attracts so many tornados?

Yeah... we had a pretty good blow a few weeks ago. The darned thing passed about 300 yards north of my house! I was in Detroit at the time but four of our community band members lost their homes. LV called to see if I was OK and was shocked to find out that I was actually just a few miles from his house. Surprisingly... NO ONE lost any musical instruments

One came through about 300 yards south of my house while I was in England last year. Some folks say the next one is coming 'right up the middle'. Maybe it'll get that guy on the toilet off my front porch!

Thank god no one lost anything, including themselves!

(Future tip: move the trailer park further outside of town

)

The convection from those trailer park barbeques is what attracts (or causes??) the tornados.

It might at that -- at the very least, it'll scare the "heck" out of him ...

Huh! We had sirens again at 1am Monday morning and tornado watches well into the afternoon. THEN... at about 3:50 this afternoon, I was in the shop when the overhead lights shook and the windows rattled. It was a damned EARTHQUAKE

Egads! I thought southern Indiana was mild compared to Kansas.... where I lived for a while as a kid.

We had a line of thunderstorms swoop in and sit on us for about an hour and a half this afternoon -- really weird (and loud ... some of the lightning strikes were very close).
