Here's a few pics in a gallery below - - -

Difficult transition for sure - - -

I'm assuming he has a laptop or something - which would be good for Zoom (cam.mic.speakers).

Wishing him well.

Happy Holidaze Geez !!! Thinking about you !!! Little Joe says "hi" !!!

Pileated woodpeckers are quite common here in Chapel Hill - - - we got an upside down suet feeder and they hit that almost daily (hot pepper flavored suet to discourage squirrels).

Most major DAW platforms come in "free" versions: lower track count, minimal effects, etc . . . which, for the most part, will get your feet wet and determine if you'd ultimately move forward.

Easy - they represented the holy trinity of sex, drugs and rock & roll.

Great band - loved them since the beginning.

Best weather ever - seriously -

Rain is very common here in the afternoons as the humid air bubbles up in teh hotness.

Cameras are only tools. I captured and sold dozens of quality shots (and do to this day) - on a circa 2004 5MP Leica D2. It still surprises me with it's image output !!!

That said - a modern...

If I had a dime for every solar eclipse I've seen, I'd have 2 dimes. Or maybe 3, I forget.

Same thing happened with absinthe in France and Europe proper - - - the vineyard owners (read = big taxpayers) and the wine industry were threatened by a much cheaper, stronger and more effective...

Silly me - thinking there was the possibility of porn involved - clicked on the links.

Photoshop is a much heavier photo editing platform: masks, layers, retouching, repair, swaps, etc. - - - a more "one-off" type of affair.
Lightroom handles files in a different way - and allows for...

Lubricated Goat

That was another excellent game of basketball.

It's getting real crazy here in town already - they're closing down our parking lot on the north side of campus at 4:00pm = letting us go home early today.

One of the easiest ways to discourage squirrels is with hot pepper seeds and suet. Birds cannot register spicy heat like mammals can . . .

Our son had a science project back when we first moved to Chapel Hill - he was in the 4th grade.

At the time - I was battling squirrels and starlings/blackbirds eating all the seed. (Eventually...

Sling has been plagued with buffering issues for a year now - - - depending on your location (and their servers).

Cordcutterforum.com is a great place to gain valuable info . . .

We stopped the cable portion of our service about 2 years ago - - - purchased an indoor HD flatenna and receive about 17 channels (3 Spanish, 2 Christian, 3 shopping) with 10 usable for the most part...

Why was Bill Ward not included/mentioned at all ... ???

Those are great - how close were you to the stage?

I saw Genesis perform their Black Show at the Orpheum in Boston (April 1974) - it changed me.

TMB shows - over 20 at this point easily . . . always a great show.

You can pick up a used Kurzweil SP-76 for about $400 . . . it's an excellent instrument with weighted action, some decent sounds (pianos, organ, strings, etc) - - -

Happy Belated Birthday !!! Blue and I were just talking about you this past Saturday night !!!

Many more !!!

I did the very same thing - except it was Yukon Jack and not for sale at the church.

Be careful of the adult entertainment establishments - - - everything may not be as it seems.

Bell Centre is fairly centralized.

St-Laurent and St-Denis are hot spots . . . anywhere on St....

f.lux is a (Mac) app that balances monitor color balance versus time-of-day, works amazingly well for me.

Inspirational !!! Beautiful !!!

We're seriously considering retirement somewhere in that region within the next few years . . .

You can easily do this on the Dark Net with vendors through Alpha Bay, Dream World, etc . . . but legally, no.

I've had the opportunity to see all of the groups above multiple times (live) too - - - could never align though. Not sure why - - -

Fondly remember this group back in my high-school days. Always a big hit with the female crowd they were -

Oh man - we ate there many times back in the day. Sad news - - -

My grandmother used to make pasta by hand - - - I remember this "old school stainless steel" monstrosity of a machine C-clamped to the table's edge . . . beautiful stuff if made.

Getting ready to...

Hand-made smoked brisket, cornbread, baked potato, salad +++ cheesecake.

Green Acres was one of my favorite comedy shows back in the day - - - RIP to a classy lady !!!

Resize in Lightroom - it's pretty easy as an "export" - - - check it out

HAHA - I was at that very same show !!! We split less than half-way through the concert and hit St. Cats downtown (Montreal) to check out the strip-clubs. I had just attended the Pink Floyd show...

MS Office on a Mac is very problematic and unstable depending on versions and OS. We've purposefully kept staff on Office 2011 in our production office (iMacs running Mavericks) . . . mostly for...

And there's a wino down the road.

Recordings/Content - pretty much nothing, except a reasonable artistic effort. It's pretty easy these days to cample artist's new material from most any artist . . .

Live/Concerts - the delivery...

what he said.

The fans are for both the power supply and CPU cooling - - - these are basically computers that use GPU's (graphical processing units) instead of regular computer CPU's - - - the GPU's accomplish the...

We're fine here in Chapel Hill - lots of trees down and some pockets of power-outages (not our house/knock on wood) . . . but no serious flooding to mention. We're about 200 miles from the coast...

They do that here - - - we get a monthly invoice for our toll road excursions and pay the bill on-line.

Whoops Your Pregnant Again!

I got the shingles about 5 years ago and it gave me the sads.

My own Dad was pretty much the same way: he took me to see Johnny Cash when I was 6 years old at this tiny road-house in WV . . . then many times up to Montreal for jazz shows (Buddy Rich/Sinatra,...

You and me both.
