I saw a Jack Rabbit with a suit case and a sign saying "Going to Florida for the rest of the winter"We had record breaking snowfall this year and because of that I saw a line up of deer at the food bank.Bad enough we are paying $101.9 a litre for gas. That is a little more than $4.00 a gallon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the weather stays at the -5 it has been, maybe I'll be able to get the rest of my decorations off the lawn by months end, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that really hurts. Of course someone from the UK will chime in and say they are paying $2.00 per liter. lolThe bright side to all this is that the day light is getting longer. I can now drive to work in day light and drive home after work in daylight. Getting close to 12 hours of daylight and we should hit close to 19 hours by the end of may.

Morons... They're still saying we're due for a foot or so...The Ventures are by far the number one musical act in my display. About a dozen songs already and for this year I'm working on Sounds of Silence, Ghost Riders in the Sky and Forty Miles of Bad Road. The first two are a certainty; 40 Miles has me worried that it won't keep me interested long enough to get it finished. But that's okay - there's lots of other music waiting to take its place.

I'm pretty damned glad I did not get my Christmas display out... I can only imagine the mouse, rabbit.. other pests damage to the display.. god bless to all with something still outside. Rabbit tracks I've seen around my place.. you will need all the blessings you can get!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had it in progress last year, but along with a dozen other songs, I didn't get it done. After seeing his western tunes in 2010 it inspired me to get back to it. I'll video the sequence and send you a link when I'm through with it. (If you don't hear from me in the next two weeks or so, please send me a reminder. Thanks.)

Care to weigh in on this one? :cool:JeffThanks for the invite Jeff.The reason some people think were wrong 80% of the time is they only listened 20% of what we were saying.

Aaron Maue Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 We got lucky in our neck of the woods. A whole week of above freezing temps this past week and my display was all thawed out. Took everything down this past weekend. I actually think it's the earliest I've gotten the display down since we moved into this house over 5 years ago.Getting cold again now, but everything is back in storage. So, let it snow if it wants to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we have been seeing is deer walking along the edges of the country roads while we are driving along at a slow safe pace and stopping to let the deer make their way down a snow pass trail. There is simply to much snow in the farm fields for them to walk in.Did you all know that it snowed here in Edmonton every month of a year except July. It has never snowed in July.We have a spot here in Alberta (Near Hinton) where it hits 75F during the day in the summer but drops to 32F during the night. It is always cold at night but hot during the day in the summer. It is a nice place to camp if you like seeing mountain sheep up close and walking pass all the campers.Winter here is to long and it gets depressing when it just keeps on snowing and/or just stays cold. Now it is very cold with sunshine this coming week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may consider sequencing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale J Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 ya i thought somebody my have done it already but i can't remember who but i love the sound track, it would be great to sequenceand George as i was setting at work i was trying to remember the Ventures LP with the T-Bucket on the cover and i'm pretty sure it was outer limits great LP i think i bought it in the mid to late 60 when we were stationed in Hawaii. oh well thanks again for the great sequences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where Penetration came from. Love Goddess of Venus was one of my favorites from that album also. Solar Race and War of the Satellites are both songs that I've started sequencing, but I'm not sure when I'll finish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
