Good morning.

Busy right out of the gates at work this morning. The water in the building is working, actually repaired yesterday afternoon.

Got a call from the yacht club. The winds from Debbie were too much for my boat, TBD. The mast was blown down. I’ve been told there’s significant damage to the deck. Just disgusted with all of this.

Dammit. That sucks Paul.

Hope that the damage is not as bad as reported to you when all is said and done.

That is called a noodle rod in fly fishing rod terms. I don't care for broomsticks, or noodles. Right in the middle with a soft progressive taper. Unless windy then stiff is more gooder. Another reason to buy more fly rods. Just saying...

Finished radiation treatment Friday. My father rang the bell and cancer came back and he passed away of it. My youngest son did not ring the bell and he is still in remission. So I did not ring it, besides I'd have to do it twice and say Chief Cold Iron Departing.

Radiation side effects started to hit me mid last week and lost 10 pounds so far, although can't say that I recommend the radiation diet for weight loss. Lot of respect for the doctors but if you want to know how it is really going to go ask the nurses that have been around for awhile. God Bless them and all that they do. They told me this week will be the worse. Been sleeping a lot when I can get to sleep. Don't feel so good it is like having pneumonia and really bad flu at the same time. As long as I was going to be off work had visions of ripping the 3rd row seats out of the GX and start building my platform. Right now wondering if I can get trash and recycling up to the road by tomorrow morning.

All the best to you Chief Mike.

Morning folks. Last day of work. 3 days of weird crazy people and I've had it
I think I'm a magnet for whacko's.
Y'all have a good day.

Yes , longer than the Stones. He’s lost a little zip in his step, we were thrilled to see him again. We saw him years ago, with Muddy Waters, Johnny Winter. The legends can’t live forever.

Buddy is 88 right now. Not many people, much less performing artists, are still going at that age. All the travel, nights away from home, having to eat out every meal.... has to take a toll on anyone, especially at that age. I am so very thankful he came to my little town, and I got to see him. A true bucket list item for me

A couple of my other bucket list items I checked off in recent years:
Bill Cosby (before all the sexual abuse mess came to light)
Yngwie Malmsteen

I got to see them both at a small venue on Long Island when I was living there about 10 years ago.

Through modern electronics he was able to come off stage and walk through the audience and play his guitar, all the way to the back row, stopping along the way to perform for people

67° on an August morning. Not a common occurance.
Enjoy it while I can.
