Wednesday Grind

Some older metal for ya today. Not a real grinder but you can still bang your head to it with no problems.

This was a single released in 1970. Pretty sure that this is a clip from Copenhagen, Denmark in 1972. Not 100% sure on that... Not that I care.... it's good shit.

The ol' bitch is finally home

I stopped runnin' her last fall... Wouldn't go into gear. I finally broke down in March and took her to the shop, since rippin' down engines isn't exactly my specialty. Well, lemme rephrase that. I'll rip anything apart. It's gittin' it back together that causes problems.

But I digress. Turns out I had some moisture in the case, and the clutch plates had all rusted together.

I told the shop no hurry, since I had other bikes in reserve and Triumph parts are a complete bitch to git. So a hefty bill and several months later, I finally got 'er paid off and picked 'er up.

Damn near forgot how to ride 'er. But lemme tell ya... For not really seein' much action since last October, she sure didn't waste much time gittin' to 90mph as I roared outta the parkin' lot.

I love that ol' bitch. It's gonna be a sad day when she officially retires.

Just enough rain to piss ya off...

I've been helpin' a buddy make hay here the last week. First time I've done that kinda work regularly for a few years. It's good work for sure... a good workout, and ya lay down in bed at night feelin' like ya actually did somethin'. The only bad thing is unloain' the wagons in a hot, stuffy ol' barn, and last week it was in the upper 90's. Gotta drink a lot of water, since passin' out is no fun.

Well, we got two wagons of hay in the barn yesterday when Momma Nature decided to interfere. Didn't rain a bunch, just enough to make what was layin' wet enough that we couldn't bale anymore.

So, what the hell. Went home, got the ol' lady, met up with my little brother for a bit and started yankin' the lips offa some largemouth bass. I'm not much of a fishin' guy like Joe is, so he gave me a crash course on the ol' Carolina Rig, and off we went. I caught a half-dozen or so, and Joe caught a bunch more than that. The biggest mighta been 13, 14 inches but hell, we had fun.

A Sunday well spent after a workin' most of the weekend, but back to the office grind again.

Happy fuckin' Monday.

Another reason to keep my ass on the couch...

I'd prolly think about ridin' a bull, given the chance. Bull hockey looks like it might be fun too.

But them crazy Spaniards like to fight 'em. And sometimes they git hurt.

I'll stick to milkin' cows, thanks.

The masses only know Charlie Daniels for his kick-ass Geico commercial and his tale about ol' Johnny kickin' the Devil square in the nuts.  A great tune, but the ol' goat has a helluva lot more good tunes in his arsenal. Nobody runs a fiddle like Mr. Daniels. That's how ya do it, son.

Song: Fiddle Fire
Artist: The Charlie Daniels Band
Album: Fiddle Fire (1998)


Y'all take care, now.

Peace through superior firepower

It's Monday. What's not to hate?

My kid brother graduated on Friday. Seems like yesterday he was just a little shit, playin' outside with his whiffle-ball bat. He's headed to Bloomsburg in the fall, and I'm very proud of and excited for him. We had a party yesterday with some family, so that was purty fun too. My cousin came up from Virginia early and we took our wimmin out on the bikes for a while.

All in all a good weekend, but I'm burnt out and apathetic. Thus, we go to the J-Ro archives for some peace through superior firepower.

I ain't much one for the new country, but this song ain't bad. I think when they finally quit beatin' the hell outta it on the radio I'll like it a little more.

Song: Boots On
Artist: Randy Houser

Y'all take care, now.
