How many here have grass growing and are putting away their snow blowers?

Termy,

The only grass you'll see around here is the type you can smoke.  After getting a few light dustings in January and February, March came in like a lion. We've had three snowfalls in the last week, doubling the amount on the ground and allowing me to use the blower again. Yeeehaaw! Let it snow.

Well, all you guys don't have to worry about a droubt either. You see last year we had hardly no snow, just like this year. We don't have enough watter. With the deep sunshine that is coming, we probably not going to be allowed to watter. And you know what that is going to do? Its going to kill my lawn and my garden. I am not very happy about me not getting enough snow in Washington state. It sucks more than you know. But, I can't change the weather. Oh well, if its going to be another hard year, K sara sara...Whatever will be will be...

"K sara sara...Whatever will be will be..."

Termy, you're not old enough to know about Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be. Doris Day was a grandmother before you were born. 1956 was what, about 30 years before you were born? 

Hay Marshall...

I am alot more knowledgable than most people my age. I have known people my age and even older who have a family and are married and have two kids. Yet, they still own 4 Jetta's and Shiroko cars. They buy new computers every year. And they are in competition with everyone on the block! The way I see it, they waist all there money on stuff when they need to support the family! I have also known people my age who don't even know what a transmition is. I have known people my age who can't even add oil to there engine without screwing up! Even though I was born in the 80's, I have allways been a 70's man. I have been known to like a very large varity of music, such as, James brown, Frank Sanatra, Beach Boys, ABBA, Beatles, Elvis, ETC. I am not bound by the stupid generation of today. And, I certainly am sick of what is going on in our country. I will admit I do like our technology of today, but if you were to ask me would I rather live back in the 70's vs today, your dam right I rather live in the 70's.

I think that you will be surprised with allot about me Marshall. As you may or may not remember. I grew up with old people, heard there stories and great wisdom. I have also gained some of their knowledge. I respect the elderly way more than people of this generation my age. And believe it or not, I am friends with 3 80 year olds and a couple 50 year olds. And yes, I know what K sara sara means. And yes, I have heard the song, and yes I have heard songs sung in the 30's. So you might say that I have a unique perspective on how I think of myself and the rest of the world.

You old fart you! 

Termy, the 70's were great years. What I can remember of them anyway.  LOL

Why.....were you gone on vacation???

Paula

Hi Paula. Ummm, yeah, I guess gone would be the key word. LOL.   I was talking with an old friend the other day about a concert we went to in 1975? It was my favorite band  YES, playing an outdoor show in Jersey City, N.J. He was talking about different things that happened that day, and for the life of me......I can't remember squat about that what happened that day. The scary part is, I was driving. This year I saw the band twice on it's 35th Anniversary tour In Philadelphia and Allentown, PA. Remember those, clear as a bell. Of course, things are a little different now. Went with my wife, 2 teenage sons and sober as a judge. Great shows. Sometimes I think back upon those days and wonder how in the heck I ever got through them alive. I just consider myself lucky my life went into the right direction. Of course, some good decisions came into play there too.  LOL

The 1970's

From Jimmy..........

To Sweet Baby James........

And from Elton and Bernie......

To Ted......

To the Bros.

To the best guitarist besides Hendrix, maybe equal.

Thanks Marshall. ...Great post there...

The 70's were great times. I don't know if you guys get to see this show, but at least in Washington state we have a show called "That 70's Show" and I watch it every day. I love it when they actually come out with new episodes too.

Great pics Marshall. Hendrix was definetly in my "Top 5". We went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2 summers ago. It was great. They have a small movie theater that shows the various inductees through out the years. It show clips of the artists in performance with a narration. When they came to Hendrix, it was the best of all of them. Powerful and moving is the only way I can describe it. Talk about flashbacks. LOL.    Then it was off to Canton for the Football Hall of Fame. Another good time. We finished off that trip with a game at the "Jake" to see the Indians, and the best fireworks I ever saw after the game. I never thought Cleveland could be so much fun!  LOL
                                                           Wow man, I gotta get some sleep.                   Kevin

I have so many favorites it's hard to put them into a top 20. I edited my last post to add someone I almost forgot.

Kevin

Your mention of the "lost" concert brings to mind a Black Sabbath concert I went to.  I was so...uum..out of it, that I was sitting in my seat, kind of passed out and when I opened my eyes, people were rioting.   I found out later that someone had thrown a beer bottle at the stage and hit the drummer, I believe, so they refused to play so people just tore up the place.  People had picked up rows of seats and were throwing them.  And I didn't hear anything until I woke up.  It got so bad outside that people were pulling up freshly planted trees and throwing them...cops everywhere. 

That was during my 'bad girl' phase (which I expect to outgrow any day now..).

Paula, I think they are called Mosh Pits today.  LOL.  When I met my wife she was in her bad girl phase. Her first words to me were, "would you like a hit".  What a gal!

We expect a few inches here in NY state will see, but were not ready to mow now!

I am going to have to mow my lawn soon again, we have been getting nice 50 degree weather here and sometimes get 60 degree. Soon it will be spring and we will get more sunshine then rain. Because of this, I am not going to mow my lawn too far down that way the grass can grow easier in the hot summer heat. We did not get good snow pack which is how we get all our watter. Because of this, I won't be able to watter. But I can tell, my summer will go just fine. People who are still getting snow in April is outragis! Thank god I don't live in the eastern USA or canada!

I just got in from blowing 4 driveways with about 6 inches of wet heavy snow from last night. I only clogged up once. Amazing what a little tightening of the belts will do.    LOL     Unexpected storm in NE PA, but it still is March. At least it won't be around long. Two of the neighbors I did are in Florida. Lucky folks.
