2019 Valentine Festival: Passionate Kisses, Mary Chapin Carpenter

This is one of the best songs ever.   Back when CDs were a new thing, I bought the album with this song on a cassette.  I loaned it to a friend, and the next time I saw her she told me, "I'm keeping that tape!"  Good friend, no problem; but this song and MCC are that good.

More Snow On The Way

They say we will be in the 1" - 2" area on Saturday,(They are forecasting more as of Friday night.)  so tomorrow's task is to bring up more wood from the barn; just in case it is worse than forecast.   This photo is last week with 3" - 4" on the ground.


Inside, by the fire: Junior and I agree, Home is where the heat is!

2019 Valentine Festival: Redneck Girl, Bellamy Brothers

We're having fun now!


This Took A Little Detective Work With The Voltmeter,

and we finally found the problem.  The electrician who installed this box a few years ago failed to run down the screw on one of the neutral wires.  The washer was going through death-throes yesterday and we thought it was a goner, but it is feeling much better now! Dogs Barking: It was feeding time and the people were ignoring them!

2019 Valentine Song Festival: Let's Do A Hawaii Night!

There is a cold snap coming, and that's a good time to dream of warmer climes, palm trees, Pacific sunsets, and Hula girls!










I've been listening to old records for almost sixty years. Most of those years have included Yaka Hula Hickey Dula. I never cared for that one, but it is cute, and probably sold a bunch of records. Many artists recorded it. Down In Honolulu Looking Them Over is a Unicorn record. It is extremely rare, and I have never seen or heard an original. I have it on a vinyl reproduction. Ukulele Lady is my pick from these songs. I first heard it when Arlo Guthrie recorded it in the early '70s. He did a fine job with it, but Vaughn DeLeath's recording is classic.

Ruger's Auction To Benefit The USA Shooting Team



This nice little Single Six is marked used, but seems to wear only a scratch line around the cylinder.  It was made in 1984 and returned to the factory for unknown reasons.  Single Sixes ride nicely on the hip, and the .32 caliber bullets pack a lot more punch than a .22.  CLICK HERE to read all about it and to place that winning bid.  This neat little gun sells mid-day, Wednesday, January 16, 2019.  $755
