The Blackboard Cafe used to be a country-western place before the riff-raff arrived. This is Bill Woods and His Orange Blossom Playboys on stage somewhere between March of 1940 and April 1, 1955. It was the epicenter of Bakersfield Country. Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, and Ferlin Husky are among the artists who played the venue.
Young/Old Merle Haggard. Time passes slowly up there in Bakersfield.

There you go!
Thanx, zB that is the look I am always going for,
Not the poet, or the artist, a bit of the sleeze merchant
his writing style if you want to call
Bukauski(spelling?) a style...Bukowski..thnx mfm
DHo, wait . . . it is haggard Merrill?
Never mind. . . That is a country song,
, a road map of lost loves etched in lines on his face.
Damn that spin that mfm's was talking about I need to keep to doubles kno doubt.
Also that is a interesting but fitting mix The Duck, The Snake, The Mongoose, and the old dog Neil, all good and let loose.
By the by, you are of course right in thinking that when trying to scruff, trying hard not to drown, I learned to iuse my mouth,band breath and all, too and through my ears if need be.
Okay ok that above reads like I am on shrooms,and forgot that fact so gobbled down that last half tab of purple widow pane. Washed down with coffee too,
No I will just double down. . .
When learning how to SURF trying hard not to drown,I learned to close my mouth,
And breath through my Ears, if need be
Seeing the 400+ posts that the strange and in need of some thing I know not what, Suprema, her Van Living, thread . . . Oh shoot Rdog you delete on the insane nurses thread? Please say it is not so. She needs a dose of your taxidermist skills to stuff what she's got. .,.
Anyway the thing is I have a ton of Flames work to do , in the heat and humidity that is my condition, well I -
" I just looked in to see what condition my condition was in"
Back now to post in the past.

There was also rumored to be another cat named Robert Z. "Little Z" Merman on that Bass Lake Run. He was mostly passed out drunk, according to Sor Says, the nun who wrote, "Demonique: The Angels I Knew."
This is either Little Z or it's Scott's dad, but the effect is of a wasted but happy biker, which, let's face it, is a pretty sad state compared to a wasted but happy climber. IMHO, but that's as it may be.
Now this smilin' couple are very hip, eloquent, and highly-connected in the world of song.

My loving sister pointed out that Ed Cooper once wore "a business costume" as a stockbroker in NYC prior to taking up photography full-time.
He may have been employed by Haggard, Merrill, Finchpenner and Pierced, but I have no idea, really.
Good shot, Gnome! Love all.
He was in no way very happy until then.
He wanted the mountains full-time, not the canyons of Wall.
Ed is still kickin' and, one presumes, still loves what he does.
I've never had the opportunity to meet Ed, but would like to do so.

Drop-shot.

[Click to View YouTube Video]I worked in steel drum manufacturing for ten years.
I always wondered how the chemical plant materials handlers handled the material with just a dolly.
THEY DON'T USE DOLLIES!
Now for some applied science with a huge flame producer.
[Click to View YouTube Video]That was eye-opening, at least to me.
The barrel plant here in Merced (Rheem Mfg., later NAMPAC) always had failed drums and imperfect barrel shells laying around as a shift ended. Some lucky guy (often myself) had to crush them for scrap before the new shift came on.
We used a vertically-oriented, barrel-shaped hydraulic barrel crusher. It took all of fifteen or so seconds to reduce a 55-gallon drum to a lozenge of steel weighing about thirty-forty pounds, depending on the gauge of steel used the barrel shell, the head, and the bottom.

HERR BROWN ESTA UNA POCA PROLIJO!
just 'a-joshing really, but do you think that Bob ever climbed a rock on a rope, I think he did, and tried to ask some of the older gunkeeites, if they ever heard of such an event.
It was the Suhl -anator who might have known or a Larsen, but one of them was shot dead. If Fattradad2, is a luker here? it is a story that he could tell better...

Bob says it himself, that he's climbed mountains, or stumbled up them in the mist, at any rate. (See the first verse of Hard Rains A-Gonna Fall.}
But this hardly seems consonant with a roped climber whose balletic balance and consummate technique are envied by the slogger of peak and fell.
I'd be amazed if anyone came forth to verify your assertion, Senor Gnome.
Verbosity is in the ear of the be-hearer, I'm told.

Rules and a demarcation from said fire.
When, if, in the glow of posting, six or more ideas unfold onto the page, it is my intent to hence forth make a break and start a post afresh and new.
My comments need to be more or less whole formed and that then I will strive for too.
In the videos from Eldorado, the 1st of the 'Rosary' Crucifixion, rROsey oops!
In the end ends up on the line called Taggers, at its top is the business, a roof.
So many years ago I can not believe it? I was well past anything that counted, past both
cruxes when my verve died I cried and bailed bare handed to a hanging rope. This was no joke I was swing batman style way far off the deck. The rope belonged to Alison Sheets(?) I think that was then her last name.She was or would soon be a guide there in Eldorado proper.
My rope trick from the moves past the lip of the Taggers roof,caught everyone's attention. My young hands held tight and having the sense of the dire consequences I pulled what you called a Mills,- or should call the using a hanging rope as a cocoon to slow a rapidly becoming fatal fall down to a survivable rope burn inducing grinding to a halt,landing smoking but alive.
Needs to be wrote better anachronism aside.
Why is the second climbing with that overfilled blue butt lug pack?
The thing is all that I can see it is disturbing and ruins the video for me,although it brought back that memory.

We all have our crosses to bear, GOD KNOWS! Sheesh.
That your hands were damaged is a SIGN, Gnome!
But let's not get all Easterly and mystical/theological...it's too nice a morning!

Ah, Mouse, I had to read up on
Sophora Root (ku shen)
to understand it. Thank you for the info.
Compounding your own medications is a wonderfully healthy way to go. Become your own primary physician! Wow!
Your grandchildren are adorable. The girls are both super cuties! I love their face art. And how super that they live close by so you can see them often. I have two grandsons, in Texas. They occasionally make it to Montana, but I make it to Texas more often.
Back to work here.
Thank you for the info on the ku shen.
