True. Do this, and you will not have to put Rubbing Alcohol (95%) into the tank as frequently. :) I fill up at 1/2 full/empty (your choice as to which), but prefer to do it mid-week. Today (Monday) -- the station next door to me was lowering their prices by several cents per gallon, which had gone up the same several cents per gallon last Thursday evening. Go figure. <_<

Yer s'pozed to wash dishes everyday??? Uh-oh! :unsure: :unsure:

One Man Awake One man awake awakens another, The second man wakens his next door neighbor, And three awake can rouse the town, and turn the whole place upside down. And many awake can raise such a fuss cry, That it finally awakens the rest of us twi. One man up with dawn in his eyes - multiplies. ;)

Hmmmm. How about the BRC??? (Biblical Research Channel) ................................... Ducking!!!!!! Hey there twinot. Welcome. :)

From MAMA TRIED - by Merle Haggard. And I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole. No-one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried. Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied. That leaves only me to blame 'cos Mama tried. Good one, Medic!!!

(My apologies to all blondes, but ----) Three Canadian blondes died and found themselves standing before St.Peter. He told them that before they could enter the Kingdom, they had to tell him what Easter represented. The first blonde said,"Easter is a holiday where they have a big feast and we give thanks and eat turkey." St.Peter said, "Noooooo!" and banished her to Hell. The second blonde said,"Easter is when we celebrate Jesus' birth and exchange gifts." St.Peter said, "Nooooooo!" and banished her to Hell. The third said, "Easter is a Christian Holiday that coincides with the Jewish festival of Passover. Jesus was having Passover feast with His disciples when He was betrayed by Judas, and the Romans arrested Him. The Romans hung Him on the cross and eventually He died. Then they buried Him in a tomb behind a very large boulder." St.Peter said, "Verrrrry good." Then the blonde continued, "Now, every year they roll away the boulder and Jesus comes out. If He sees His shadow, we have six more weeks of hockey." St.Peter fainted.....

Only by a "hung jury", Medic!

Awwww -- Ala. Thanks. I can't do that, because I've never recorded my stuff. I have some things on cassette tape, but that's it. I did go to a studio about 5 years ago, but all work from there is incomplete; (I had problems with my left hand -- and finally wrote it off -- had to quit). I was doing gospel stuff I had written, and never finished the CD. Lately -- have been practicing more, and finished writing a new fiddle tune tonight. It's some *ramblings* in the key of D, that suddenly got *birthed* this evening. (It was on my front porch -- great acoustics, and a lovely place to pick!) FYI -- my left hand is still out of sync, but feeling better (these days). I'm able to practice for an hour a day now, and am re-gaining the dexterity I used to have. If things continue to improve, I'll go back to the studio, and put down some of the fiddle tunes I've written. Then I will need someone to show me how to put them here. :)

Hiya Waysider. :) Yes Homespun is EXCELLENT. I have some of their teaching series here for fiddle, flat-picked guitar, dobro, and banjo. Some are legit, and some are boot-leg copies, but all are good. I have the cassette versions, but the videos they offer are far superior. The videos (that I have seen), have a split screen that shows on your tv. One screen has a close-up of the *picking hand* and the strings played; and the other is a closeup of the *fingering hand* and the frets played. They put both side by side, so you can see a close up of what is going on. Very nice indeed!! :B)

well ~~~~~~ Bluegrass is called That HIGH Lonesome Sound!

Technically (I've heard) -- that is called grilling. BBQ requires the many hours of slow cooking aspect, that grilling doesn't have (heard that there from a native Texan). Now -- I'm not Texan -- I don't know these terms like you all do. And in Indiana BBQing was done on the grill too. Meebe I'm getting wrapped up in SEMANTICS (sorry Belle!) ;) But even on the grill -- beef was the ticket, and pork was a no-no. Pork belongs in Washington D.C. -- not the grill.

ZZZZZZZ

Belle -- if you don't have beef, you DON'T have BBQ. Sorry, but that is a fact of life. A pig roast is one thing -- but it is NOT a BBQ. Please don't confuse the two. :) Don't get me wrong -- I like bacon, and ham -- but pigs just don't cut the mustard, to qualify for BBQ.

That speaks volumes!!!! :B) :B) :B)

Excie -- of course you had to *pump* in pairs. Otherwise -- you'd have been re-enacting the *orginal sin*, (according to the *literal -- I wish you could read it in the original*) format from docvic.

Rascal's playing a *G* chord -- I coulda picked along with that. :)

There is a gas station a coupla doors away from me, and they offer full service. If you pull up to those pumps (which are higher in price, than the others *available*), You don't pump your own gas, and yes -- the price is higher. You pull up to one of those pumps, and the service guy is there immediately to check your oil, wash your windshield, pump your gas, etc. Full serve is still alive and well here, but you wouldn't be allowed to pull up to a full serve pump, and fuel your own car. That wouldn't be *full-service*.

Quote from Jerry Garcia -- SAN'S SOUCI! (NO PROBLEM) ~~~ my perpsective about your life --- Tell that bozo *Z* to take a long hike over a tall cliff.. he might learn something on the way down. And if not -- too bad.

Tonto just upstaged T-bone, in a funny!! Ahemmmmmm!! You two figure out *bragging rights*.

That takes the cake!!!!!!!!!!

One of *my guys* (Clark -- the schizophrenic, with advanced Parkinson's) used to go to church all the time. He isn't able to anymore. We asked (recently) if he would like the pastor to come to the house, and read some verses, and give him communion. We got a two thumbs up from Clark, which meant YES!! So we called the church, and the Pastor (an interim one) said he'd be glad to come over. His name is Dan, and I called him by that name when speaking with him, but in introducing him to Clark, I added the word Pastor. Good question Mstar -- I never thought to ask, but he (Pastor Dan) was comfortable the whole time, and didn't ask for *proper recognition* when it came to title. Methinks they are the honest ones, the *real deal*. ;) There's more to this story, but that's what pertains to this thread.

Cool. Now I feel validated (or is that vindicated). :unsure: Congrats! Way to go! Remember -- 15% of future earnings need to be given, before you will collect spit. Seriously -- all the best to you. Good luck, and God bless. :)

I don't disagree at all. The more the past (posted) is raised to the top, those who are still in, and are considering an exit -- have an open door. :) Thanks!

Sound Out 84 was (I think) initially a tribute to Joyful Noise. (Socks -- yes? no? maybe?) I do know it was also being billed as *The Harmony Of The Gospels*, and held at the Grand Old Opry, there in Nashville Tennessee. Bunch of us from Minney-soda drove down for the event. I was married at the time, and we stopped in Lebanon, Indiana (at my in-laws) the first night, then in Bloomington (at my folks house) the next night ( a mere 100 miles away from the in-laws), and then next day hit the road for Nashville. The weekend (which was a great time of reconnecting with folks we hadn't seen for a while), was reduced to a 10 tape teaching series, of which I still have a copy. Out of those 10 tapes -- 7 or 8 are pretty much worthless. The only one who actually taught about the *harmony*of the gospels was Walter when he did his teaching about *The Acceptable Year*. (My IMO) The only other tape from that series with redeeming qualities, was lcm teaching the *Ordination Of The High Priest*. Docvic was there in body, but not in spirit. The teachings he offered were as anemic as they come. (again -- my IMO). He put in the appearance on stage, tried to *teach*, but it was token, only. He was on his way out, but still loved the limelight. :( oh -- yea -- just my IMO.
