Uncovered the potatoes and started to harvest some.
Easy way to plant/harvest is just cover with an inch or 2 of soil then a layer of hay.

They grow basically on top, just scratch the hay off and gather them up.

I dug under the plant just to make sure, but there wasn't any spuds.
This method sure beats digging them out.

The worms were a protein treat for the hens.

So I estimate that I will get between 3-4 of these bins full.

Why the sale of Jim Irsay’s Greatest Guitar Collection On Earth is a sad moment in guitar history

The late Indianapolis Colts owner talked of creating a museum to showcase some of the most important instruments ever – now the collection will likely be broken up.

Wow.... F'in insane ! He has/had some iconic guitars for sure. I like guitars but even if I was a millionaire I would not desire a "stars" guitar. I play them and fix/repair/modify them. I was inspired by Neil Shons (Journey) Les Paul with the lfoyd rose and when I saw it years ago modified a les paul (epiphone) for a floyd rose. If I confuse anyone I can explain the modifications I'm babblin' about.

Good afternoon everybody !!!!! Wife and I went to the casino last night and you should have seen the drunken dressed up people ! some of the costumes were a little risque.

I wouldn't mind having both of the guitars these guys are playing (the late great Robin Crosby and Warren D Martini) 2:20 you can see them. Luckily they make their "signiture guitar version. Video has Robin Crosbys girlfriend at the beginning of the video (RIP) she was also in Whitesnake videos when she was David Coverdales girlfriend. There is a 3rd gen Firebird/Trans Am in this vid !!

Yeah, I love watching Aussie rules football, but see no point in spending thousands on a ball that was used to kick a winning goal just to have it sit useless on a mantle piece so I can tell people such and such once kicked that ball.

Receiver gave up, I had it for 30 + years, so....replacement time ! It powers these 12 inch woofer beasts. The paper on the woofer is deteriorating dammit ! I planned on a powered sub and some silk dome quality bookshelf speakers, I guess that plan will be implemented rapidly.

I haven't seen huge speakers like that anywhere lately except the trunk of senselessly loud cars. All the home speakers these days are "compact" and most just don't have the same "oomph" as those big old cabinet speakers.

True ! I will have a powered sub to take care of the deep 20-30 Hz adjustable of course as below 30 Hz they say can only be felt. Good bookshelf speakers, actually 8-or 10 inch woofers so a big bookshelf! I have over 5000 albums on Itunes so I need good sound. Those 12 inch woofer Akai's can and have shake the house !! I'm getting older so I don't need to get ignorant as much.

Common these storms in Brisbane Queensland. Can imagine insurance prices there would be huge. I wouldn't live there.


I see Jamaica got smashed by a hurricane. Poor things many live on the edge at the best of times now that.
