My daughter's best friend is visiting from London for a couple of weeks and has been staying with us. So it's been non-stop gabbing, giggling and laughter till the wee hours of the morning. Earlier today they went shopping with my wife and now are at a party for friends who recently graduated.

Work was crazy and hectic this past week. The MOTY thing is over. The weekend has started.

I'm sitting by me-self now sipping a beer and spinning some vinyl I picked up on the way home. A handful of used semi-rare stuff and a couple of spanking new albums.

I feel so relaxed and content... and damn the record just ended. I have to get up.

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!

Time out. They all just came back, wardrobe change! Christina shows me her new $280 dress that she got for $40. Gawd, they are gonna break some hearts. That took all of 5 mintues and they ran back out.

It's back to me and the music. Phew... I need a shot of bourbon. :)

Quite the contrast eh? hehe. Good stuff man.

I'm afraid I cannot join you in the bourbon shot. But I'll pound down this half glass of Guinness Extra Stout - should come out even.

Cheers

There goes the neighbourhood!

Just cranking out some tunes myself... going over some stuff I haven't played since I switched to sansui - sounds great!

We have a "world" TV station here near Washington DC (WMHZ Channel 56) and we get football from Australia. I enjoy watching it, like nothing we have here.

I came home late wedsnday to find the tuner had been left on and just sat enjoying a stogie and listening to the Music in the dark. It really recharged me,:thmbsp:

I went surfing early this morning, came home and mowed the lawn. Had lunch with the girls and they ran out again! Music time again. I'll have to drive them to a Japanese Obon festival later. There is a Japanese blues band that will be playing. They're called Karma... have to catch that!

Thought my wife had gone with her good friend to North Dallas. Had the volume up a little on the SX-1250 playing a 50 cent ELO Discovery cassette that sounds wonderful. She returned with money in hand saying she would trade me for my tape. The song she was thinking of was ELO not Queen, she was happy. I took my money and went looking for more tunes.

Change of plans. The dance part of the festival is tomorrow and not today. Good thing... I mistook the Japanese Blues band's name. It isn't Karma... it's Bad Karma.

Happy Friday and have a great weekend!Very cool, Carl... I'm working on that "Great Weekend" thing, it's starting out pretty good. :D Went to a winery today, found a very smooth dessert wine from Niagara grapes, delicious... I have half a case racked, and I'm about to open the first one. If anybody wants a glass, I hear it's best to finish a bottle and not re-cork, and I don't know if I'll make from here to the bottom of the bottle by myself at this hour.

Cheers, Friends! :beerchug:

mmm... sounds very yummy Todd! If you weren't so far away I'd invite myself over for some.

Note: for anyone who is not Ozmoid, Justen, or myself...Oz was sleeping in at the fest and in grave danger of missing the free breakfast. Justen and I "Rick rolled" him out of bed with a portable audio system and saved him the pain and anguish of near starvation. Through some kind of dimensional warp, he seems to have experienced things much differently.

edit: you posted while I was typing. Hope that helps, Carl.
