KISS:

Damn It! Yes , I was one of those 70's kid that proudly displayed the red bathing suit wearing Farrah Fawcett , Surfer In The Tube , And Kiss posters around my room. Those posters were all collected from the Quincy County Fairgrounds as I was a dead eye with those three wonky darts. And yes , Mary Ferrah Leni Fawcett was stealthily hung on the back of my bedroom door. Because we are in a nostalgia pattern , I loved my BLK Light Poster featuring that black panther in the jungle that we all remember so vividly from our youth. Groovy  


Was immensely fortunate to have caught KISS live in sunny San Diego around the mid nineteen nineties. My buddy TAG pretty much orchestrated the whole event for our tribe , including the pre-game watering hole near the Sports Arena. What I remember mostly , how I knew just about every song those old rocker played. And at that time , they were in their 40's , performed as if they were teenagers. I have attend my fare shows and wouldn't embellish this as a top 10 or anything. I am simply proud nowadays to wear my big blue button that reads 'I May Be Old But I Saw All The Cool Bands' 

PORCHELLA:

Foxie Flo rocked the Sh*t out of Porchella this year!! 


I proudly make this statement because we did. Not only did we sound clear and clean , we nailed every song as if we were the jukebox in the corner cafe. To top that , we instructed/invited the kids to walk up and pick a sticker for free. And if that wasn't the cats meow , we had the crowd singing Tom Petty's Learning to Fly with us. Rock Stars 

Our host family provided free beverages to the party goers. They were super cool and excited for the day. Then , when I started setting up the gnomes and hobbit houses , they went crazy wild with glee. The only downside of our set , the wind sucked A$$. Check out my makeshift Dewalt wood clamp for holding down our sheet music. Classic 

The rest of the evening was roaming around on bikes , catching up with familiar faces , and digging the whole downtown vibe. No cars honked. People packed the streets. Basically , Porchella is a large moving festival. Yes , we did swing by the Big Swig set and wow. They played damn near every song from a year ago. Of course John was mumbling on the mic , Nate sounded great , but them boys treated the bass player like an apparition in the background. Don't Miss That

Here are some of the photos from Rock Toe Berr so far. Nothing all that flashy but captures in time just the same. Dazzling 





House and dog sitting this little Mesa Girl and I worked her over good. No Naps , On The Go , And So Many New Smells. She supervised me as I slapped two gals of paint on this old fence , drained swamp coolers , and mowed yards. She never complained , she never ran away , and did I mention that she never snuck in a nap?? Such A Sweetheart 

Still dancing the vegan action and tried all kinds of new concoctions. Like fresh pineapple in chili , butternut squash burgers , and one dynamite garbanzo bean filled tacos. Like Mind Melting 



And you bet , I did pickle those cucumbers. Looking to sprout my own sprouts and micro greens. Wait until you see the new raised garden beds I am building between raindrops. Pretty Proud 

Iris , Thank You So Much!! Thank you for always chiming in and I appreciate your attention to the details. You are an amazing lady and we have been corresponding for near a decade now. Big Hugs

Ventana , You Rock!! I am no longer able to comment on your blog. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for always checking in on me. And I do love your photos!! 

Brother Reed , what can I say. It was Olga Girl that brought us together. I dearly miss that face. However , I still enjoy reading your daily updates , travels , and flower photos. Looking forward to the exciting 2026 news and beyond stoked for your retirement. Your sense of humor is infectious and I thank you for our 15 years of digital blogging friendship 

Mr Bill , you are the daily photo man. I admire how often your captures bring a smile to my heart. You streamed many of my radio show live and let me know when you archived a listen or two. Pleases me that you are enjoying your new digs. Looking forward to your return. And way fired up to see your photos as well

PittBrownie , It is a damn good thing that you and I are not neighbors. We would go broke!! You are also another 10 year blogging friend. Epic Rides hosted their event for five years here in GJ and now Ride And Vibes will be hosting the 5th annual event May 8th an 9th in 2026. And to be honest , I miss that office on the 3rd floor. Anyway , always enjoy your updates and dog photos. You are certainly living the good life. Give my best to $100 

Barwitzki , you my dear , you are the catalyst behind tonights post. Thank you for your positive words of encouragement. And I do love your creative flare as well. Big Hugs 

Travel On ,

Cheers
