Friday Night

One would think that in all my blogging I would have surely titled a post "Friday Night" by now, right? Nope, so there you go.

Enjoying a Stella Artois this evening. I did an image search for the same and the photo to the right of Amy Winehouse popped up so I decided to include it. She actually looks quite "girlish" in this photo, as opposed to a lot of the time she comes across looking like "a man, baby!"

I had planned to cut the grass yesterday after work, but forgot the gas can was empty. Filled up the gas can today at lunch so I could hit the lawn today upon my return home.

I finished the front yard, but the pollen was so bad today I could barely breath at that point. I went in and got some water, took some allergy medication and called it an evening. I'll finish the side and back tomorrow and whack the weeds of course, gotta whack them weeds!

Now that I have a back yard there's lots of grass to cut, but believe me I'm not complaining. Love the grass, so much better than a back yard full of ivy and weeds.

Planning on watching the rest of the Wachovia Golf Tournament this weekend from the best seat in the house, right here on the big 60!

I do have earth moving project part 2, but have to see if I can fit that in this weekend. Need to get a run in tomorrow along with the grass cutting. Yep that's right, The Hulabuloo 60 challenge comes to a close this Sunday. The pollen hit Jimmy Joe Pete pretty hard the last couple weeks and he hasn't been able to add any miles.

As I raise my Stella Artois and offer my toast "Salud" to one and all, below I present the tunes that played on The Woodside jukebox while I wrote this post. I usually showcase the last 5 songs played, and tonight I was going to present the last 10 songs, but the jukebox was serving up such a flavorful mix that I decided to keep a log of all the songs that played while I typed out this post.

There you go, a Happy Friday Night to y'all.

- Salud!

New Woodside Lounge

Image
Opened up the new Woodside Lounge yesterday. For those of you who have visited in the past, this room is at the front of the house but many times went unnoticed by visitors as it was closed off and used as storage. The new Woodside Lounge has its own TV, even though it's around the corner from the theater room. It just goes without saying, all lounges must have a TV for sporting events. I believe it's in the building code. Music is served up from the stereo system currently residing in the dining room, but I'm thinking of moving it to the Lounge. Today I went streakin'! Remember, use that sunblock out there. - Salud!

Summer Mix 2025

Image
This year's summer mix spans 56 years with 20 tracks from 1969 to 2025. The mix opens with the tranquil sounds of a gentle stream on a summer's day, and closes with a nighttime melody of crickets chirping and a crackling fire with thunder rumbling in the distance of an approaching summer storm. Pour a few cocktails and enjoy on an afternoon or evening. Sunshine In The Room (feat. Jon Batiste) - James Bay (2024) Miles And Miles - The Heavy Heavy (2020) Woodstock - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young (1970) Only Love Matters - The Black Keys (2024) Red River - Eddie 9V (2024) I Feel Good - Pink Sweat$ (2021) Love Is Alive - Gary Wright (1975) She Wants To Go Dancing - Mt.

Summer Mix 2007

I probably should give this over the weekend to think about it, because there are three songs not included in this year's Summer Mix that I've been flip-flopping over. The mix just seems very tight and I can't fit the songs in without repeating the "essence," "groove" or beat of another song. I think the mixes for me work best when they flow and take you from one place to another musically without beating you over the head with the same style. Another thing I like to do with the Summer Mix is incorporate the old alongside the new. I hate to put two old songs back to back, or should I say two songs from the same era back to back. Now as you look at my mix you'll see some old songs next to other old songs. I guess it's not a hard and fast rule for me, but I try to at least jump a decade between two old songs. Like last year I kept the sound effects to a minimum, using a mix I created of beach sounds for the opening and a crickets sound effect for ...
