Thanks, Gypsy. Tambura man's pretty hot. Maybe he's running a tamburature? HOW IS ARIEL'S LEG, etc?
Meanwhile, back at the Circle Bar Middle E Ranch:
R brand, not registered, no real cows to do so. It's too easy to change, too.
A touron from the Valley cattle-car could do it. Their kids could do it. Pretty soon, they might become literate. Oh, Brave New World, where all kids read and write and come from the womb doing V4+.
I digress.
I was up before Eos and I took my own Eos Rebel and forced these shots to be good ones.
Yawn, dawn, Haan.
(Peter phone home.}Like I say, and most will agree, once you've reached a certain level, on the learning curve, you need to recognize the right times and places and store them in your head. Luck plays a big part.
Let me say, too, that since I bought this camera, my life's different in many ways. I am no longer so concerned about actually climbing, myself, but recording. I am old enough to appreciate the past, realize that I have only now, actually, and the future's just a blank with no worries other than "Will anybody miss me?" The camera has also quickened my poetic instinct. "That's all, folks," that I needed to say.
And thanks for listening to our station.

Roger's a professional whose studio is two blocks from my place, in Middle Earth's neighboring kingdom, Main Canal.
Roger's cool. Roger's my friend. He let me know gently yesterday that I may need a new sensor in my Eos, that it likely isn't just dirt or something on the lenses themselves. Shinola, but it's under warranty...

Another in an occasional series on fasterners. Why these are worthy of a patent is an interesting story. News at 11:00 or later.

Need to think fastener than that, amigo.
Belay that.
Harding-approved don't mean sh#t.The only thing that means anything is your being happy with your style.
I don't want to step on your toes, blue suede shows, or your ensolite pad--you could be mistaken for a dirtbug if I did.
(Do they even sell Ensolite any more?)
Ensolite would be an insulating pad for use while sleeping, dreaming of hell or maybe heaven.
Rope souls on the barbie tonight in hell.
Fillet of soul tomorra.
We'll get 5.10 penne for penance the day after.
Bound to have Kanga and Roo pads one of these days, right, Krehe?
And soul of oak bole provides the charcoal briquets.
You climb through the Lost Narrows to get to the meal each day.
They make you walk back down to the Valley of Dearth on the Ill, Really Ill, Really Wet and Cold and Misery-filled Missed Trail.
Repeat ad infinitum.
Don't ask about heaven, cuz I can't tell.
Kinda noisy, like a basketball game, maybe, with all that miraculously sticky rubber.
No stealth in heaven, I bet.
No Californication, either, thank God.
No Section Eight; and only the minimum amount of aid on climbs...
No UI--everyone has a pleasant job.
But there is unlimited camping, anyplace you find.
And the El Capitina shuttle runs all year long with Jonathan Winters in the lounge.
SAR boys & girls are out of that job--they are not needed here.
And then you wake up, get out of bed,
Drag the ball and chain out from under it instead...
Aaaaaaaaaaahhh, ah, ah, aaaaahhh,
A-ha-ha, ha-ha-haaa-aah...

4076433 - Attachment for garage door spring
An attachment device for the quick and easy attachment of a counterbalance coil spring to an appropriate bracket features a single section of rod bent to provide a shoulder at one end for connection to the bracket and a second shoulder at the other end for the counterbalance spring, the ends being equipped in a manner to permit application of an interlocking retention piece over end sections of the bend rod. In some forms of the invention fasteners applicable to the very endmost part of the rod are employed to lock the retention piece in place.
...
For counterbalance garage door hardware the type which has become popular during the past decade, certain aspects ofthe equipment continues to present problems. One of these is the retention of fragmented ends of springs in case of rupture. Another is ease of installation whether by a skilled mechanic or by a house holder when a spring needs to be replaced.
Why is any of this important? I don't know, but something to consider is just where garage bands would be without safe means of entrance/egress and easy repair in case of rupture.

The intent of http://www.60sgaragebands.com/ is to document - and therefore pay tribute to - not only the better known "one hit wonder" bands that had national hits and whose slab of vinyl is still played on today's oldies radio stations, but also to the lesser known - and even forgotten - bands that never found fame outside of a five-mile radius of their local stomping ground. If you dig the music of The Leaves, Seeds, Count Five, Castaways, Music Machine, Shadows Of Knight, and Electric Prunes, then this is the site for you. What about The Gants, Nightcrawlers, Palace Guard, Remains, Memphis Charms and Daily Flash? Ditto. The Lost? Lazy Eggs? Keggs? Alarm Clocks, Tonto & The Renegades, and Larry & The Blue Notes? Come on in. You've found the right place
A careful observer may note that this patent was issued in 1978, rather than global warming, it may be better to attribute the demise of these groups to unsafe portals.

And Merced Falls.
The lovebirds go "Sweet-sweet" this and that. Ancient teenagers.
The soul of gravity. We are both Gemini.
A photo labeled "Us" that the Rev gave me on Mother's Day.
How sweet-sweet.
"Nobody in the world's gonna give you lovin' as sweet as mine."--Sam the garagist
El Rio de Nuestra Senora de la Merced, her river. Our river.
Gotta love her.

Nice work mouse.
Isn't Donini one of those musical climbers we've been hearing about?
