Although I wouldn't want to live in CA, it is pretty nice in parts of the state. The Big Bear area is beautiful. San Fran and north is really nice along with Yosemite.

Took these pics on Epic Journey 2012. Yosemite Valley, El Capitan, Half Dome, Bridal Veil Falls. Move over Ansel Adams!

Something went wrong with your 2nd pic-color faded.:rolleyes:
 
Happy Friday, GOF's. As Beans would say (or was it Soul) I'm practicing retirement. Staying home today. No plans. Try to talk Carey into cooking breakfast... ha ha...... so what's everybody up to this weekend? Anything exciting happening in your neck of the woods?

First mowing of this season. Currently 57 degrees. Waiting on UPS for my custom J body to be delivered today.

Boy, I just used that phrase this morning on someone knocking at my text. "I'm still in bed" (10:30am)
Probably here is where I heard it first.

No gigs at all this weekend. Nada. Nada damn thing. I think maybe I'll..., or..., or maybe...Nah, I'll just watch sports on TV. And drink beer.
 
OMW shortly to the brick & mortar music shop
Lemme' guess: Odin might walk, shortly, to the brick & mortar music shop.

Someone keeps telling me that I have a screw loose...
You need a nut driver to fix that.

...Yosemite.

I've done the "grand" scenics, at Yosemite, too, but, generally, I've gone for the less accessible places to make photographs, there.

It’s going to be a very exciting weekend. I bought a lottery ticket and hope to win. If I don’t, I promised myself that, as a consolation I would go to KFC for a chicken sandwich. Either way, win-win. Woo-hoo!

Cheers! Supposed to have T-storms today and night so that cancels outdoor stuff today like trimming shrubberies. Oh, darn it... :laugh:

Probably have to sit in the office (garage) with a beverage and watch the storm.

Excellent! Thanks for posting. It would be difficult to get my scooter into those places.
 
I'm using my time wisely and effectively watching an action movie made in India called "Wild Dog." :smug:
In a conversation one of the characters said, "The press is going to have a field day." I know what it means but @Morrighan do you have any idea where that expression came from? I have no idea.

Yes, the movie is worse than the poster, but at this point I'm committed....

I'll let you know how it turns out.. :cool:

Yeh, Bob Dylan.
"newspapermen eating candy
had to be held down by big police
someday everything's going to be different
when I paint my masterpiece"

The bass is back and repaired at no cost. About to plug in and record. &c. What I found at the B&M as I wandered 'round is a used Rumble 100 for 150 spacebucks.
 
Rode the scooter for about a half hour. Was going to ride a little longer but the sky was looking weird.

Rain is getting close according to the radar and can hear thunder. The Weather Channel has us in DARK red for today. WooHoo! We never get dark red on there. Anyways, just hope we don't get any spinning storms or hail the size of canned hams.

Time to head to the office with a beverage!

Just went through West side of Ft Worth, about 30 minutes ago, headed your way. Two cells joined over DFW creating a larger cell. We had small pea sized hail, but no wind to speak of. As you know YMMV.
