Good afternoon Penny, Debbie, and all who wander in...
Just received a fan. It's got three modes that shoot out a mist while the main fan paddles spin Very refreshing.
Jerry...from Massachusetts. I'd like to go where it's warm!
Hi there! Three guys at the boat ramp wanted info on the river as they were from a long way off. One asked if their jet boat would make through the shallows. I said they should make it and if they get stuck,2 fat guys get out and push. That made the thin guy laugh and the fattest said, "One fat guy owns the boat." I don't think the other 2 could get him back aboard.
If I wasn't fishing in this all day rain,I'd be home doing something stupid.

I thought you had an admirer, until I read further.

I got a late start today, I haven't gone grocery shopping yet.
The Iowa Cubs won the minor league Field of Dreams game last night. One of the former Pelicans hit a home run.
Pick up a few things for me at the store, please. Glad one of the Pelicans did well.

Penny... I had the same thought about Jerry's new fan!
Jerry - it does sound refreshing for sitting out on the deck. From whom or where did you receive it? Inquiring minds need to know!
Larry - 104°heat index?! Yikes! I would curtail being outside in that as well!
Mr. SPH - Thanks for the song! Did JB ever do Mental Floss live? I've used the "life without a brain" quote frequently (though often just in my own head)
Bill - Hey you were just being honest about the water conditions!

I worked today.
Tonight we're dog sitting for our grand dog Gretchen Wieners. Son in law is working and our daughter is playing 90's Trivia at a local pizza place. GW can't be left alone very long as she is epileptic, so we help out.
The bonus grandson was returned to Chicago yesterday and we are all very sad.

Love her name. What type of dog is she?
Sorry about the grandson leaving.

Did JB ever do Mental Floss live?
According to the song database here on BN he played Mental Floss 13 times, all in 2003. I checked my ticket stubs, I went to 4 shows that year but missed Mental Floss all 4 times. Three of those shows were each 2 days after he had played it at other venues. The last time it was played was 8/28/03 at Great Woods. I went to Great Woods in 2002 but not in 2003.

I couldn't find anything and the database doesn't list anything.
My oft quoted line is "In one ear and out the other"
I'd like to be a jellyfish
'Cause jellyfish don't pay rent
They don't walk and they don't talk
With some Euro-trash accent
They're just simple protoplasm
Clear as cellophane
They ride the winds of fortune
Life without a brain
In one ear and out the other
Don't you get crisscrossed
I recommend you try a little mental floss
It's the small, small problems
That keep me so upset
And send me seeking shelter beneath my mosquito net
I stay there for hours
Protected from the nights
All those insects and vipers
And other things that bite
In one ear and out the other
Don't you get crisscrossed
I recommend you try a little mental floss
I'd like to be a jellyfish

Don't you get crisscrossed

It's in one ear and out the other
Don't you get crisscrossed

Yeah, don't forget to floss every day
Mental
I may not be able to party like I used to, but if I take a nap, I can usually stay up ‘til dark....

Duh! I should have checked that! I was at both 2002 shows... and but just the Saturday one in 2003 and it looks like he played it on Thursday!

I think I heard JD Spradlin mention that after the Coral Reefers ended their tour, that RM had one more broadcast this year. A Mac & Scotty "Margaritas & Memories" show. Was I hallucinating? I can't find anything about it. I wanted to set a calendar reminder to make sure I listened.
Does anyone here know if this is really a thing?
