One of my all time favorites is by my friend David Stoddard. He’s an amazing songwriter and a good guy. Russ you know him.
Here’s a live version at Creek House with Beth Wood

Todd so happy you are gathering steam!
Russ we did a Patsy Cline street concert in Long Prairie once. We set up at one end of the block and as folks arrived the front row formed up about forty feet from us.

As a compulsive straightener-upper of things, I'm feeling a bit twitchy about the untidy and slanted sticker placement. You should have seen the inside of the car. Some of the logos on the empty fast food containers and cups were vintage.

I don’t ever remember a band saw injury Tam. A few jointers and miter saws.
A good friend was a lumber yard owner and they had an old table saw in the middle of a shed with no safety stuff at all.
An employee was ripping a long board and it kicked back. The piece flew past him, out the door of the shed, and went through the wall of a nearby building.

www.npr.org/2024/04/02/1241148577/table-saw-injuries-safety-sawstop-cpscI didn’t get a SawStop because the cartridges available would not accommodate a fret slotting blade. That may have changed. One thing’s for sure, of all the power tool hand injuries we took care of a solid 90-plus percent were from a table saw. I am incredibly careful with mine. Long pushers and feathering boards when appropriate on all cuts. My wife watches all the home improvement/restoration shows. There are some pretty cavalier techniques to be seen.

I still have my medical license. I’m hopelessly out of date as far as current practice but I’d be willing to do 10 zoom appointments a year for $29.99 if you act in the next 15 minutes. Be advised that I let my narcotics number lapse.

I was using my new adaptive cruise which keeps you a predetermined distance behind the car ahead of you but resumes the preset speed when you pull out to pass. Of course this often insures a creeping pass. There sure are a lot of folks out there bound and determined to get every penny's worth out of their adaptive cruise. I've never driven a car with adaptive cruise, but one feature of standard cruise control that many drivers seem unaware of is that you can use the gas pedal to make a speedy pass of, say, a semi, with a throng of left-lane traffic rapidly approaching, pull back into the right lane after the pass, let off the gas pedal and the cruise setting resumes control. Stomping on the gas pedal does NOT cancel a cruise setting as a brake application does. Same with adaptive.

Congratulations Howard! Good career move. I never regretted retirement but missed the multitude of absolutely amazing people I worked with a great deal. Todd it is so good to see you posting. I had to drive to the cities and back for an audiology appointment today.

As a once a year basketball watcher and one who only remembers the rules in the 1950's when i played in HS I felt obligated to look at the current NCAA rulebook. My God!!!! those refs must be mensa types to know all that.
My wife is still in really good shape in her family bracket but I got sent to the cleaners today. Duke certainly left with its forked tail between its legs.
I am so disappointed about the elimination of the jump ball for the most part. Why did they do that?

That's really nice. Looks like she is playing all downstrokes. I read somewhere that Wes had built up such a big callous on his thumb he could pick up with it.
She should loop a comping track after the chord melody and then play single string over that.

So great to see your post Todd. You have a long recovery coming but it sounds like the worst is over, you have youth on your side, and things will just keep getting better. So happy you are home.

It’s kind of a catch 22 isn’t it.
We want stable candidates that are of sound mind, experienced, have demonstrated qualities of leadership, and are gifted with a personality that promotes unity and compromise. Not mentally flawed crackpots..
The massive exposure with the current cyber nutcase environment not only to the candidate but their families tends to make running appealing to mentally flawed crackpots.
That said I think Joe has never been the brightest bulb but has survived some of the most traumatic life experiences imaginable and is basically a good person with flaws that are within the spectrum of normality.
Donald was best described by Gen. John Kelly. The most highly flawed human being he had ever met.
As a centrist I would have strongly considered voting Republican this year with almost any candidate other than the apparent selection. I think there are a lot of folks like me. If both are still breathing In November I’ll vote for Joe.

A positive attitude and acceptance is everything. Looks like he has that. I feel for him, it’s a real bitch but the natural history seems to be that the brain slowly recategorizes it as an unimportant sound and it fades. Bad news is it can take a year or two. I think I am making some progress in that direction but there are ups and downs.
