Thankful my angel of a wife flew out to be my nurse for a couple of weeks after emergency surgery. One day you're fine next you're in the ER. Life can change quickly. :bigheart
You poor guy!! That sounds miserable, but bless your wife for taking good care of you. I hope you're healing and feeling better now!! :crossed :bigheart

That December and January are a thing of the past. Monday started out with a 10° high and ended on Friday with a blatant springtime tease of 61°. Also my ot / pt are progressing by leaps and bounds. And the Boulder Theater in much need, and with great anticipation christen in their new sound system with Al Di Meola this evening. Have Shakedown Street with their 36th anniversary show at the aforementioned the morrow. And also "Weir" on the backside of winter come Saturday. You can't stop it, ya can't make it go. Take care kids and remember, music is the best.

That I was able to get out to see a great Traffic cover band tonite comprised of Boston area musicians that really brought it...not often u can catch 2 full sets of Traffic tunes played real well

Great venue...The Sanctuary in Maynard MA...a converted church, they limit the attendance & even when it's a sold out show like tonite was its not over crowded at all like it can be at some if not most venues...

Great venue, great music, great friends :mrgreen:

SOLD OUT! John Barleycorn Must Live (Traffic Tribute) — Fugitive Productions
https://www.fugitiveproductions.com/cal ... rn-feb2022

Only 2 other times have I seen more than 1 Traffic tune like low spark with phil or DSO with headband singing...or dead bands covering Dear Mr Fantasy...caught DSO in Portland ME in Dec doing low spark...and in Jan caught local Boston Band Bearly Dead cover zDr Mr Fantasy > Hey Jude > Dear Mr Fantasy

1. Winwood with a Traffuc reincarnation @ Great Woods just b4 Woodstock 2 in 99 maybe?

2. Mule o ween Albany NY 2016...1st set all Mule...2nd set all Traffic tunes...was just absolutrly fabulous

Kinda like the Band...luv em but again usually 1 song at most like Cripple Creek or Phil covering Ophelia or dead bands covering The Weight

But at least there is The Weight Band keeping The Band songs alive...

That sounds like a kick to the five hole, in "hackey" lingo. I bet that was a "Jumpin' Jack Flash "? Quite envious✌ Rock on.....

Last night I scored someone’s cancelled May campsite reservation for Yosemite, after getting shut out again. We’re getting too old to just punt and wait for next year, thank you very much!!

This winter’s draught-ending atmospheric river storms are a blessing. The falls will be roaring when the historic 200% snowpack melts. Wawona will begin to gradually recover from last year’s fire, but not in this lifetime.

Camping in Yosemite never gets old :D

My best girlfriend, who I met my freshman year at Michigan State, is a chef at MSU and was working on campus last night when the shooting occurred; she heard shots while outside taking a break. I'm so incredibly relieved and thankful she was able to get home safely!! My heart is going out today to all who weren't so lucky.

Thankful for a much appreciated 3,700 mile road trip! Brought us to Atlanta for Bobby and the symphony 🎶 , down through Tennessee and through the Smokies ⛰️, a few weeks in the Florida 🌞, theme parks with the kids 🎡, Daytona and Cocoa beaches 🌊...and back up the east coast arriving home safely just as the winter storm started full swing 🌨...thank you! 80's every day and not a drop of rain 🌴 🌴🌴
Beautiful experience with the wife & kids... before they're no longer kids 🥲...and home safely 🙏🙏🙏

On July 10th 2022, the night DeadnCo played at Citizens Bank ballpark
After helping my Mom to bed (like I do every night)
I grabbed a bottle of water and proceeded to go to my bedroom upstairs
On the 3rd step my right foot slipped off the step sending almost all of my 230lbs crashing on my right shin (Damn that hurt)
It opened a triangular elongated shaped wound on my shin
So after almost 8 months of home care nursing from Penn Medicine (best care anywhere)
So today I’m thankful to say I was able to take my first Shower in nearly 8 months
You have no idea what a pain in the ass it is to have to wash yourself in the laundry room sink
I was in the shower for an easy 40 minutes :clap
