CHILDHOOD:
There was a rather popular event in which every year I just couldn't wait. Back in the late 1970's and mid 1980's , rolling up on 50 years ago , like almost half a century ago , The Beach Boys would perform after a Padres day game. Loved It
There was always a combination of The Beach Boys , Doobie Brothers , and Three Dog Night after a ballgame. Once a year , during baseball season , the outfield would transform into a concert scene with a stage , adding overhead lights , and random party favors as well. Sometimes the event was a double bill and other times it would just be one of these bands or possibly Cheap Trick , Boston , B 52's , Talking Heads , and/or Chicago. Rock & Roll
I was always allowed to bring one friend and don't test me on who actually won the ballgame. These concerts were a big deal during my youth because Jack Murphy Stadium allowed tailgate parties before the game. I enjoyed sitting around that little grill , scooping my own potato salad , and holding my own 12oz soda pop. I thought A&W Root Beer was the cats meow back in the day. We played frisbee in the parking lot , throw the San Diego Chargers blue , yellow , & white football around , or simply chill out in our lawn chairs. Anyway , after the ball game between The Padres and Whoever , I loved hearing The Beach Boys!! The Beach Boys and The Doobie Brothers were always my favorite double bill. Three Dog Night always brought the heat to my adolescent ears. So the hearing of Brian Wilson shuffling off this mortal coil breaks my heart. Brings up all of these memories and thoughts of those childhood friends that meant the world to me back then. Of course , Brian's passing brings up my own mortality. RIP Brian Wilson
FOXIE FLO:
We made our debut and what a trip it was!! Little did we know , we were competing with DJ Snoop Dogg down at Los C. After seeing him last year , no thanx. We all still believe that it was an imposter and a DJ plays music while he karaoked us and continuously says ," Where are my pot smokers??" Super Disappointing
I make mention of this because Misti & I were performing for the door $$$. The patio was basically empty during our first set. A few folks rolled in during our second set and then the placed filled up with Snoop fans just as we finished up. Charles King held down the packed house for his set. Needless to say , we walked with way more in hand than we had anticipated. And to my surprise , the owner gave Misti the nod that he wants us back soon. Plus , Prepaid , Rather Than The Door Charge !! So That's Cool
I definitely made Misti's evening when I changed after setting up and soundcheck. I perviously mentioned to her about a local band during Ride & Vibes that the members of the band were wearing whatever was on the floor and gave zero effort in their stage presence. So when I busted out the Tye Dye shirt , she wasn't impressed at all but she didn't say anything. She was tickled when I set up my mushrooms. She was stoked when I set up all my rope lights. She was over the moon when I changed clothes and added the fox ears and tail. From there , we enjoyed ourselves to an empty patio. Oh Baby
SET 1
DOGS:
Still rockin' the dog sitting gig this month. We walk , we bark , and we eat with enthusiasm. You know the drill. Auggie was sound asleep here and was in full on dreaming mode when he rolled onto his back and snoozed in this particular position. Classic
Here below is Dakota. The official office dog. She is so cute and so friendly. I have always gotten the biggest kick out of wiener dogs. The way they carry themselves , the way they walk , and they way the sit up and beg. We have a drawer full of soft treats for her arrival. And she knows that she gets just one per day. No whining , no begging , no BS, and no disappointing feelings. Wise Old Gal
HEALTH:
Yup , still playing around with this vegan lifestyle. Still enjoying the flavors and really enjoying creating new dishes as well. Hot Dang
RIVER:
Our tribe floated the ever disappearing Mighty Colorado River for Fathers Day. Very pleased with Hailey and the kids making the effort. Score
With the low waters , pull offs , and hardly any paddling , we floated for almost 5 hours in total. The river allows our minds to escape the triple digits and remain in that care-free environmental zone. Plus , we have a number of super soakers for just because. I use mine to shoot an arch of refreshens. Personally , I pass on the blast to the earhole approach. Just a cool off shoot from Uncle T's boat. Love It
BLOCKED:
I am addressing some recent comments here and you all know that I am still unable to comment on my own blog. Some of your blogs , my comment filters into the digital graveyard. Sometimes they are posted to your blog but ONLY by anonymous. And there are about three blogs that my profile Death Star Dark Side of the Moon Prism appears on. Super Frustrating
Lucky Me , I am heading south for a much needed holiday. Robert , The Dude , & Myself are Pagosa Springs bound for relaxing , disc golf , and a whole lot of soaking in the mineral rich springs. After all , Pagosa is an Indian work for "healing" and/or "boiling waters". We scored a sweet deal at the Aspen Inn and the weather is forecasted to be absolutely stellar. As well as the Mr Moon is waxing towards a New Moon Phase so I shall be outdoors into the late evenings. I leave you with a time lapse from our debut gig and the soundtrack is our original tune titled Patience. Thanx in advance for watching.
Keep Looking Up ,
Cheers
