This is how the 70's ended for me. Good times.
Unfortunately someone messed up all the Rolling Thunder vids on YouTube with legal. This one is just sound.

Laboratory reagent – Silver compounds are used as oxidation catalysts due to the high oxidation power of silver salts. Silver carbonate is used in the Koenigs-Knorr reaction, which is a glycosyl halide substitution reaction, wherein glycosil halide and an alcohol react to give a glycoside. In the Hunsdiecker reaction, the decarbozylation of silver carboxylates results in corresponding carboxylic acid.

RR stands for Royal Robbins or Rolls-Royce or Range Rider, none of which should be confused with the Range Rover.
http://www.drivearabia.com/news/2013/10/29/2015-range-rover-long-wheelbase-offroad-limo-uae-dubai-motor-show/
I have always preferred the Range Rider, simply because it's the first TV western series that I recall watching when we got a Raytheon cabinet TV in 1953, just after the family moved from Redding to SACTO. [Click to View YouTube Video]
This is a short version of one of the Range Rider episodes, and it stars Jock Mahoney as RR, with Dick Jones. They were two of the best stuntmen in Hollywood, Jones specializing in horse tricks. He was pretty slick with his guns and fists, too, and went on to play Buffalo Bill, Jr., in the series of that name. He also provided the voice of Pinocchio in the Disney classic.

These were mostly filmed at the Corriganville Movie Ranch in Simi Valley, where some of us have climbed and bouldered.
Corriganville had its own amusement park at one time, with daily hangings and gunfights, etc.

I tipped my hat and, riding tall in the saddle, slowly cruised away into the flaming sunset.
Eddie Parker, highest-paid stunt man in Hollywood at one time, doubling for Buster Crabbe in the serial, "Buck Rogers."Reminds me of the goat being tossed by the eagle from the cliff...

OH CANADA
Canadian sphagnum peat moss is a natural, organic soil conditioner that regulates moisture and air around plant roots for ideal growing conditions. It will help to:
Save Water.
• Peat retains up to 20 times its weight in moisture, and releases water slowly as plants need it.
Aerate Heavy, Clay Soil.
• Peat moss allows for proper root growth by loosening and aerating soils.
Bind Sandy Soil.
• By adding body to sandy soil, Canadian peat helps it retain moisture and nutrients.
Reduce Leaching.
• Peat moss reduces leaching of nutrients in or added to the soil, releasing them over time. This will save on fertilizer.
Protect Soil.
• Peat moss protects soil from hardening and adds organic material.
Make Better Compost.
• Peat moss speeds the composting process, reduces odours and controls air and water in the compost pile.

The walking' bridge too farThis bridge leads to the other way onto the Rockefeller Grounds. that secret home to a perfect
5.12 top rope cliff, with twenty lines, that sits on an old carriage road,
right at the end where it loops around a full turn of 180% in the space of a 500 feet. I once walked two black dogs up to the Rockefeller estate and upon being denied access, I stated
"It is because they are Black Isn't IT"?FUM ONDER DA' BRIDGE
thirty year old, Temporary, fencing.
Black streaks from contact with tires at high speeds.and weeds growing
Both horror zanily & vertically for years , poison Ivy.
Pullin' pics from the web is sorta' disapointing,The closed to climbing greatest location for a cliff to climb; the Palisades of NJ!

Crimea river, Gnome.
Yer gonna drive me through the Lincoln Tunnel if you don't stop climbin' on that hot-rod Hudson. :0(
That sounds like a cozy little area in the loop of the road. One pitch routes, right?
Was that the Jersey side on the other side, or what? I can't tell which way the water's flowing. Oh, wait...you said it's NJ. Must be the whisky.
Pass the peat on, Piton Pete. Ahhh...
Peat also mellows whisky or whiskey.

Where in the WORLD...
is Lodi?
History
When a group of local families decided to establish a school in 1859, they settled on a site near present-day Cherokee Lane and Turner Road.
In 1869, the Central Pacific Railroad was in the process of creating a new route, and pioneer settlers Ezekiel Lawrence, Reuben Wardrobe, A.C. Ayers and John Magley offered a townsite of 160 acres (0.65 km2) to the railroad as an incentive to build a station there.
The railroad received a "railroad reserve" of 12 acres (49,000 m2) in the middle of town, and surveyors began laying out streets in the area between Washington to Church and Locust to Walnut. Settlers flocked from nearby Woodbridge, Liberty City, and Galt, including town founders John M. Burt and Dan Crist.
Initially called Mokelumne and Mokelumne Station after the nearby river, confusion with other nearby towns prompted a name change, which was officially endorsed in Sacramento by an assembly bill.
Several stories have been offered as to the origins of the town's new name. One refers to a locally stabled trotting horse that had set a four-mile (6 km) record, but as the horse reached the peak of its fame in 1869, it is unlikely that the notoriety would have still been evident in 1873.
Alternatively, Lodi is a city in northern Italy where Napoleon defeated the Austrians in 1796 and won his first military victory. More than likely, some of the earliest settler families were from Lodi, Illinois, and they chose to use the same name as their hometown.
In 1906, the city was officially incorporated by voters, passing 2 to 1. The fire department was established in 1911, and the city purchased the Bay City Gas and Water Works in 1919. Additional public buildings constructed during this period include the Lodi Opera House in 1905, a Carnegie library in 1909, and a hospital in 1915.
--Thank you, Wikipedia.
Northern Italy. Better wine? Better ask Wayno.
