No, nothing special on the site.
BTW, I enjoyed your broadcast on Saturday. I only joined it at about 1:00, but I stayed until sign-off. Next time if you need some classic blues material for the show, I can send you some 60/70's stuff via email attachment.
I never heard of a feud between Buddy Guy and BB King. When the Rolling Stones were in town a while ago, they took BB to Buddy's bar and had a private party there. Buddy has since moved from that small place to a much larger bar.

The Stone's still owe Buddy $800 for the rental of the bar that night.

It looks like a nice car. I guess I missed, somewhere along the way, that you totaled your old car.

In the interview, that I saw, he was laughing about it.
I'm in arguably, the center of the Blues here. It seems like it is a dying form of music. That is too bad actually. I plan on buying a guitar and learning to play the blues. Too bad I sing off key.

Fuz, do your buddies run the station out of their house? What software do they use for the internet broadcast? Are you playing records or MP3's? Is there a website?
I have bookmarked the IP and will be listening again 1/1.

I used to get free polo shirts from my clients. I would use a color marker to eliminate the custom embroidery.

I had a motorhome I bought used. The exhaust manifold from that big block chevy ran too close to the starter solenoid. The first time I take a long trip in it to eastern Ohio (Nelson Ledges race track), I stop at a gas station/restaurant along the Ohio Turnpike. I try to leave and it won't start. I have it towed to a garage and they replace the starter solenoid and we are again on our way. I get to the racetrack and sometime on Saturday I try to start it again, same issue. Burned up another solenoid. A local friend takes a look and says that a heat shield is missing. He takes me into Youngstown and we get another solenoid, but the heat shield is a special order item. When we get back to the track, we install the new solenoid. He fashioned a new heat shield out of a beer can. That worked for about a year until I got the proper heat shield ordered and installed.

No, never raced there. I've been out on the track. I've been there about 5 times back when they were running SCCA 24 hr Showroom Stock races. I was working safety on the corners. I got hit by lightning there.

story time.
It was about 10 at night. The race started at 3pm. We worked in shifts 4hr on/8hr off. We were on Corner 7 and the corner station was under a big oak tree. Attached to that tree was the junction box for the hard wire track communications and I was tethered to my location by the wire which lead to the headphones and mike I was wearing. During my shift, a thunderstorm moved over head. I hunkerd down next to this tree, sitting in an aluminum lawn chair and keeping dry under a golf umbrella. At one point there was the bright flash of the lightning. I don't remember hearing the thunder. After a minute or two I noticed that I wasn't hearing anything over the headset and tried to make a call. There was still no response. The rest of the workers saw where the lightning hit and was thinking there were 3 dead people after they couldn't get in touch with us. Finally someone came by to check on us and found us OK. The lightning had hit that tree and took out a couple of fuses in that junction box. Once those were replaced all was back to normal.
I don't know if I was truly hit by lightning, but it hit the tree that I was wired to and I was setting in an aluminum chair in the rain.

You can only do so much. If they don't provide enough time to get the job done, the job doesn't get done. Not your fault.

Don't know. I just got them. I just replaced my Continental all season tires. Those were good in snow, but a little loose for dry warm temps. Before that I had Pirelli all seasons. They were great dry tires, but didn't bight well in the snow. So far the Goodyears have been pretty good in the snow/cold.

I'm 100 yrds from a major 6 lane state road, so I don't have to go through too much deep snow. I have only ever got stuck once. That was in my mothers driveway in MI. That time the snow was so deep, I ended on top of the snow (4 wheels off the ground). And, this is Illinois. We don't have hills.

Good Morning
It seems Chick has left the building. It has been a 1/2 hr since she posted.
I fixed my heat control last night. I have a warm car again. Now the rest of the winter will probably be unseasonably warm.

There seems to be a problem with vaispy this morning. I'm not recieving updates. Even after performing a browser page refresh, B@W isn't showing up. That could be keeping the regular people away.

I guess we will have to keep a B@W tab open and refresh that tab intermittently.
