  And so, after a week off work, it’s back I go today. Meh. #Mondays

  Lovely. “This is not yet a final verdict on ecological harm. Far from it. More than 200,000 barrels were dumped in this part of the ocean during the second half of the 20th century. Months of laboratory work are still needed to show how far radioactive material has traveled and whether deep-sea organisms are taking it up.” - Adrian Villellas https://www.earth.com/news/scientists-found-200000-barrels-of-leaking-radioactive-waste/

  I can see die-hard MAGAts freakin out on this one because it has to with a border. 😁 #MusicOfMastodon #70sPop #YearOfTheCat https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y9VxTRgP__w&ra=m

  There was so much more to this album than the classic “The Boys Are Back In Town.” Which anyone who listened to my album rock airshift years ago would have discovered. Because I had no playlist - it was free form album oriented rock. I’d do it again in a fuckin heartbeat. #MusicOfMastodon #70sAlbumRock #Jailbreak https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fMdmjoAB-5Q&ra=m

  A little more Woodford Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey on deck - check. Fuck it - some more Tull - check. My sanity - questionable. 😁 #MusicOfMastodon #70sAlbumRock #Benefit https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NyLPX-YhpLo&ra=m

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@CakesOfPan/117063437697766638 Oops - it’s another “live” selection here on deck.

  A favorite from The Who on deck and another of those album cuts I loved playing at the first radio station gig. #MusicOfMastodon #70sAlbumRock #TheWhoByNumbers https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a4xjr9v5ehk&ra=m

  Among the fascinating (to me, anyway) items when I toured the Great Lakes freighter William A. Irvin in Duluth Thursday was the woodwork for the staircase in the pilot house. In addition to the captain’s quarters are four guest rooms and a guest lounge; VIPs and celebrities were known to go on mini-cruises as the ship sailed the Great Lakes and did so on other ships as well. The whole thing just … kicked ass. #MuseumShips #ShipsOfMastodon #DestinationDuluth

  The evening’s “live” selection on deck: if I didn’t have Nubs and Gizmi and all my gear, I wouldn’t have come back from my brief stay in Duluth. Nope, if I had anything to say about it, somewhere in Ireland or Scotland would be the place for me. #MusicOfMastodon https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YmUxa_nSKZE&list=RDYmUxa_nSKZE&start_radio=1&pp=oAcB&ra=m

  Yanno things are slow when you take time to be all artsy fartsy with a bourbon pour in a glass someone at some time purchased from a long-defunct John Deere dealership (before I found the set at a thrift store a few years ago) and a Saturday evening sunset. Just go with it. 😄 #WoodfordReserve #Sunsets #NorthernWayOfLife

  Weaker than initially reported. By the tRump regime? Say it ain’t so! #USpol “U.S. employers cut 23,000 jobs in July, and job gains for the two previous months were weaker than initially reported, according to a report Friday from the Labor Department.” - NPR https://apple.news/AOPf5B-3MSGO1hIwJV7CB6w

  Voters in Missouri resoundingly rejected a Republican proposal to eliminate the state income tax and to replace missing revenue with a higher sales tax. The vote was not close: 83.3% of voters opposed the measure while only 16.7% were in favor, despite the fact that groups in favor of eliminating the tax—many of which kept their donors secret—outspent those in favor of keeping it by a margin of more than two to one. - Heather Cox Richardson #USpol https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/a...

  In 2012, I got the chance to meet Kurtwood Smith, known for his role as Eric's dad on "That 70s Show.” He was making a stop at the Democratic party's headquarters in town.I talked to him about "That 70s Show" and a movie he had recently done with Helen Mirren and Anthony Hopkins about the filming of "Psycho.” He said he only had three scenes in the movie. I told him it may have been three scenes but ya have to make 'em count. He looked at me and said, "Brian,...

  Never fails; as soon as I do some laundry and there’s an empty clothes basket, Nubs hops in and waits to ambush an unsuspecting Gizmo. #CatsOfMastodon #CaturdayEveryday #NubsTheSpecialForcesCat

  Dead silence on deck with the exception of an owl in a tree line somewhere here in the yard. A perfect setting for more Floyd. Loved playing this one at the first radio station gig and so did some of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe railroad dudes who’d call me to let me know. #MusicOfMastodon #70sAlbumRock #Meddle https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=raV_A8YcBu0&ra=m

  A fellow Gold Star family member (her husband was killed in action in Afghanistan in late 2013 when the U.S. Army UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter he was piloting was shot down) and her mom are on a European cruise and at the moment, on their way to Norway. #NorthAtlantic #DoggerBank “I’m in awe right now. Watching how slowly the sun rises up here, the moon still lighting up the sea and sky, and a powerful force of nature tossing us around underneath it all. Pinch me.” - Tina Tyler-Silverman

  A Stones tune with a LED Zeppelin connection although they didn’t know it at the time; future Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones put together the string arrangement on this one. You’re welcome for the useless rock trivia. 😉 #MusicOfMastodon #60sPop #TheirSatanicMajestiesRequest https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Va87qt0VZ2M&ra=m

  I have three Howard Miller clocks in the living room; a 78th anniversary grandfather clock, a 59th anniversary Regulator one of THE coolest, most beautiful people in my life gave me and a mantle clock I picked up at a yard sale for about $10 during the 90s and there are those moments, especially here on deck on pleasant evenings such as this, when they chime at the same time and remind me of this classic. #MusicOfMastodon #70sAlbumRock #TheDarkSideOfTheMoon https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=80L...

  biggest claim to fame was having their rendition of Neil Diamond’s “Girl, You’ll Be A Woman Soon” but this one is the rocker. #MusicOfMastodon #90sAlbumRock #Saturation https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BBv74FdaE-I&list=RDBBv74FdaE-I&start_radio=1&pp=oAcB&ra=m

  It’s a lovely evening. #MusicOfMastodon #80sAlbumRock #Reconciled I'm out on my own Walkin' the streets I look at the faces that I meet I feel like I, like I want to go home What do I feel? What do I know? But I Still Believe I Still Believe Through the shame and through the grief Through the heartache Through the tears Through the waiting Through the years For people like us in places like this We need all the hope that we can get Oh, I Still Believe https://m.youtube.com/watch...

  I think it’s time to hit the deck for a bit while these two are zonked; I get a kick outta how Nubs just throws a leg out over the side of the bed. #CatsOfMastodon #CaturdayEveryday #NubsNGizmo

  Did some restocking in the past few days; I think I’m set for quite some time. Like for at least the next year the way I nurse the stuff. #EvanWilliamsBottledInBond #Bulleit #ElijahCraigSmallBatch #FourRosesSmallBatch #DriftlessGlenRye #WoodfordReserve

  An ear worm on deck from the 90s “one hit wonder” file. My kids liked it soooo what hell. And I always liked the sampling of Andrea True’s “More More More” from ‘76. On a side note, my new jammies are comfy. So don’t steal MY sunshine, dammit! #MusicOfMastodon #90sPop #YouCantStopTheBumRush https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=teUlISh-TiA&ra=m
