High guys I hope all is well with everyone and the world is at peace. Happy Friday, or whatever day it is in your world!

This is a song about a friend of mine and his dead-ex-wife before she was ex- and before she was dead-.

Cool song man. Crazy women sure are fun!

I take it she was ex before she was dead?

Lol, yeah. He lost his parents when he was in his teens, and this woman supplied him with shelter and drugs, then a pregnancy, a marriage, and 2 children. She was a D student in school, but very street-smart, and had no problem fucking people out of anything/everything they had. And if someone slighted her, or even if she felt like someone slighted her, she could be straight-up scary. He provided for her for 18 years, then she left because she preferred the drugs over a mansion on a hilltop. And that's what killed her.

She sounds (less than) lovely.

I made it home! My friend Chris came over a couple of times this past week and we jammed out a whole bunch of songs.

Here is an old Dr Hook song called Penicillin Penny (soundcloud.com)

'Bout time and Dr. Hook was awesome. At least I am presuming they're done touring or dead.

I think a couple of them have passed away, but not quite all of them.

I have no idea if they still do shows

Thye hung it all up back in the '80s. A couple of the guys continued to use the name over the years, including Ray Sawyer, the guy with the eyepatch. Wiki says he died back in 2018, at 81 years.

Hey all, happy Friday! Here's a quick sloppy cover I did earlier today of Never Going Back Again by Fleetwood Mac without using a capo. Wish I had more time to get the recording right and make it longer, and also record it with my electric guitar, but I've gotta get up early tomorrow to change the motor mounts and transmission mount on my car -_-

'Snot bad for a cell phone recording. Besides, we have low standards!

Engine mounts and transmission mounts can be a SOB to change. There's always something in the damned way and barely any room in the transmission tunnel to get to the mounts in the first place. The engine mounts? That was fairly easy to do from the top (on many cars) until they started filling the engine bay to the point where it takes four hours to change a serpentine belt. So you go in from underneath the car only to find the goddamned manifold is in the way, the steering linkage is in the way, or more...

If memory serves, you're the one with the Crown Vic? Maybe that'll be easier?

Even though I'm retired and have a garage with a lift, that's the kind of nuisance job I'd pay someone else to do. But, I hardly work on my own stuff anymore. I'm either too busy or too lazy, depending on the situation. I still sometimes change my oil.

Haha thanks, I have a cheap stand alone mic but I came to realize that my cell phone mic tends to record better. I have been looking into getting one of those usb audio interface boxes for my electric guitar though so I can record straight to my computer. I'm holding off on getting one until I'm finished with all my car maintenance though, just wanna make sure I don't have to spend any more $ on parts after the mounts are swapped.

I really wish I had a car lift to use right about now. I have a friend who had one in his backyard and it really made working on my car so much easier, but unfortunately his neighbor called the HOA on him for doing a burnout down the street a few months back and long story short, they threw the book at him and told him he had to remove the lift and isn't allowed to do any type of visible car work on his property. I'm glad I was able to at least change out my suspension before that happened haha.

And yes, I have the Crown Vic! Motor mounts really are a SOB to change. Usually the motor mounts on the Vic last up to 300k miles, sometimes more, but I guess I lucked out lol. I've been reading on the Crown Vic forums for the last week and funny enough, everybody says the transmission mount is easier to change than the motor mounts. All of them have to be removed by going under the car. For the trans mount, jack stand under the tail shaft housing and I have to drop at least one side of the k member for clearance and for it to drop low enough, I may also have to unbolt the exhaust.

For the motor mounts, I'm going to need an engine hoist, some long wobble extensions/sockets, and a man of faith hahaha. It could be worse. Like you mentioned, todays cars are so full of all kinds of electronics, so at least I don't have to deal with that

LOL I have a lift and a heated garage. It was one of the things I splurged on when having the house built. I don't regret it. I also have no HOA to worry about. I barely have 'neighbors' and they're only really neighbors because there's nobody else around. They're within 'walking distance' if you want to put some effort into it.

And, yeah, I figured the mounts would be a bitch to change. It's one of those jobs where you just know you're going to bust a knuckle. I'd probably get in there two days ahead of time and spraying it heavily with penetrating oil, probably doing so twice on day one and twice on day two. I'd probably spray 'em again on the day you plan on working on it, just to make sure.

I've been at an auction since last week (bidding by phone or internet, depending on the day and my expected activity) and picked up some gems. I actually now own a Crown Vic that looks to be in pretty solid condition. It was cheap so I bought it to fuck with some friends before I resell it. It's a movie car, so it'll be valued as such.

You can see it here:

I figure I can sell it for at least what I have in it, but first I get to screw with some friends.

Thanks man! Once I get more free time, I'd like to go back and take more time recording it.

The below is a cut and paste from an intro from a long time ago... It's a throwback intro! (Yes, I've saved most of them for a few years now.)

In my effort to make things special, I got five hours of studio time with some very dear friends. Five hours may sound like a lot, but that also includes mixing time. It's largely me calling in a bunch of favors, but I'm pretty sure you'll like the results.

This first one should probably be one you've heard before, the FNGT theme song. But, it's not gonna be. Nope... You've heard that before. Someone else can link it, if they want.

I'm just going to leave this here:

https://clyp.it/wimmda2w?token=c6a2ba9bafbe5974eab2f35025439343

Yes, EH is in there.

We have one more "mixed" and there will be more over the coming weeks. But, we'll give you two of them tonight.

Also, listen carefully. EH is in there. She's so spot on, she's not easy to spot. She's doing Izzy's bit. This is my guitar student, in whom I am well pleased.

Rock on, goats. Rock on!

Err... Rock on, Poalr Bears! Rock on!

Lovely stuff, guys.

I didn't think I'd ever seen GnR live, but I have a ticket stub from a show in Seattle. There are a few other shows that I have ticket stubs to, but don't recall...I wonder if that means something.
