Show's over, drive home safely. Looked better a little while ago...

Stuff...

YouTube algorithm keeps throwing me daily DLR stuff. Full show at Keswick a few weeks back (5/19/26). Band isn't bad but he can't sing worth a damn...

Yeah...wore a "Diary of a Madman" T-shirt on relaxed dressed day which wasn't well received. Iron Maiden was just bursting onto the scene as well with Eddie T-shirts/Concert shirts which again the nuns frowned upon...

Hager did a good job taking over all things considered but when I think VH it's Diamond Dave. I had the VH symbol (and Zeppelin) symbols all over my note/copy books for grade school. Goes w/o saying the nuns didn't dig it...

Still touring at his finest...it's David Lee Roth! Don't think he sold out the Keswick last time around. Man, drugs hit him hard for only being 71 and borderline mental....looks 80ish.

I fail to see the problem? We're okay...

Drought stuff...couple chances for rain this week. 43F

Drought guy may be on to something...although this seems normal to me. https://www.accuweather.com/en/winter-weather/polar-vortex-aftermath-to-bring-more-chilly-may-days-to-midwest-northeast/1886949

46f, 12AM...windows open, I think I heard the ice cream truck guy?

As long as it doesn't affect beer, whiskey or vodka prices, I'm in pretty good shape.... 61F Big fan of the EMC. Big fan! I ain't kidding! Big fan! The Moon is kicking ass tonight...

Exactly. This year last freeze/frost is not that much different than in the past. If so, only by a little. No need to think fruit crops are in serious jeopardy. RedSky is turning into drought guy thinking the world will end if we're off by a little from average. Calm down and have some wine. Oh wait, you can't, the grape vines are destroyed from the freeze! May God help us....

By a week or so? And the fruit world would be catastrophically destroyed this season? Drought guy said the freeze was 2 weeks ago which is around mid April. Doesn't sound super late? I think things will be just fine...perhaps a record setting over abundance. 57F, heading to the 40s.

Isn't this around normal (last freeze) around these parts? What makes this year especially bad?
