The sun was out today, and weather was warm enough for shorts and no sweat shirt. 'Bout time. Rain returns this weekend, however. Welcome to Oregon.

Another bomb threat/scare going on right now in NYC. Suspicious car at Union Square.

False alarm. A guy in landscaping, who mows lawns for a living, had 2 gas cans in his car. Go figure.

Imagine if he had a 6/4 tuba mute in there

I am off to practice my tuba and write a sermon. Debating about which to do first.

There used to be a pretty well known freelancer in NY who'd take his mute on the subway. When asked what it was, he'd reply "A nuclear warhead; make my day."

'Course, that was pre-9/11...

1/ I just discovered that double-tying my shoelaces helps prevent them from becoming untied.

2/ I'm considering pursuing a Doctorate in Classical Philosophy from the University of Phoenix.

I'm guessing that, overall, you'll see greater benefit from #1.

Here's to Ray "TubaRay" for starting a thread that has been running for over two years!!

It was announced yesterday that Ford Motor Company is continuing capital investment in one of it's plants to retool to build the new Fiesta planned to be sold in the US market. This snappy little car is predicted to be a big seller in the US for this US automaker.

Location of plant being retooled: Mexico.

Ford spokesperson reminds the listening audience to remember: Buy American!

In 2005, looking for a small car with enough room to carry my gear, I purchased a new Chrysler PT Cruiser over a Mini, in part to stay American. Whaaaaaa? I found out later that I need to do my homework better.

It's going to be a beautiful day today. Highs in the 70s, sunny, and low wind.

On tap is fishing the Mother's Day caddis hatch, horseback riding in the afternoon, and smoking ribs in the late afternoon/evening.

smoking ribs in the late afternoon/evening

From cigarettes to ribs? Aw, man...

Mr. "The Jackson" you left out the best part - SRanney is fishing from horseback. I bet that gets as exciting as sousaphone player who is in a cavalry regimental band unit.

It's tough keeping them lit. And finding papers big enough? Fuggheddaboudit.

Have managed to successfully put off mowing the grass, tomorrow is another day.

UPDATE:

Yesterday, I got up the evening, and I didn't have anything to say. I came home in the morning feeling the same way. I'm not anything but tired, man. I'm just tired and bored with myself. Baby, I could just use a little help.

You can't start a fire.

You just can't, without a spark.

This gun's for hire, even if we are just dancing in the dark.

Samuel pooped in the potty tonight! This is a landmark date! After TEN YEARS of changing diapers and wiping stinky butts, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. My oldest just turned 10. He got potty trained about when the second was born, who got potty trained about when the third was born. No breaks whatsoever

[Rev Rob]

Marty, wait until your kids start to drive and or date.

Rule #7a
There are no breaks. About the time the youngest is out of the house and on his own, the oldest will show up with the grandkids. Then the fun really begins. It's best to learn to enjoy the process 'cause there are NO breaks.

[MartyNeilan]

Marty, wait until your kids start to drive and or date.

I'm the one that is just starting to date. (again)

So is "Dona" referring to your new Conn or a person of interest?

Donna is my nickname for the Conn Donatelli.

My Conn Giant, acquired just a couple months prior, was nicknamed Julie. Julie was short, fat, loud, and sometimes difficult to work with.

The Reynolds bass trombone with the copper (bronze?) bell is the Tangerine Terror.
