It would be great to see a Preds vs Caps final...... The storylines would be fantastic.
It wouldn't upset me one bit. ::thumbsup::

I'm up to doing flies with 20-lb. dumbbells.

I'm squatting with only 65 lbs. though -- I don't have a proper squat rack and my lifting buddy has been temporarily handicapped due to knee surgery so she can't spot me for heavier weight yet.

Oh, hey...I had more drama this morning than I wanted.

Just skittering out of the neighborhood as normal to get over to the highway and in a low dark swampy pond area I started coming across debris in the road...turns out the debris looks an awful lot like coyote remains...and they were spread out and dragged over a hundred feet or so...I managed to dodge most chunks, but had to straddle one larger piece that had to be what was most of the torso...didn't make to much of a racket so I figure no damage to the undercarriage...

That'll wake ya up!

Later...the RockStar kicked in and I was OK.   ;D

Scratch one coyote.

Okay, confession time, and I NOT kidding. I am not exactly an exercise  aficionado. So when I first read this, the immediate picture in my mind was Pandora killing flies with dumbells. And my second was, Who kills flies with dumbells? I mean, I eventually got there.....and I would have gone for the joke, but I seriously did not get the exercise reference til further down.

BTW, what is described as "doing flies" is pretty impressive, once you figure it out....er rather once I figured it out....or was told bluntly what they were.

Last Saturday we finished up our season for the Bluegrass Jam. I can confidently put it in the "total win" category. The bands were great and the turnout was excellent. We got a little boost thanks to a local newspaper article: http://www.kentreporter.com/community/294109681.html

It's hard on a band to put out a good performance with a light crowd and last year we had several shows that were sparcely attended. Not so this year. Lots of players, and a huge audience - that's fun.

I tentatively signed on for next season (being a roadie is gonna be the death of me!).

I wish we had some bluegrass around here occasionally. I love zydeco, but bluegrass is great.

I do enjoy playing but transporting, unpacking, setting up, running, tearing down, packing, and transporting the PA is wearing me out. As it is I need the full day Sunday to recuperate. For a while I had my nephew helping. He told me he wanted to learn sound engineering and I provided him the opportunity to work with live sound. Then he wussed out, saying that what he really wanted to do was be a hippy~d~hoppity DJ. He wasn't impressed when I told him "sound is sound" and he wandered off.
I bet he hasn't twisted a dial since.

I haven't got the energy anymore but (if I was rich) I would love to put another band together. Trouble is, every day that goes by lessens the probability of that ever happening. In the meanwhile I still have bluegrass jams.
