Good Morning to you and all our forum members.

I was up before 4 a.m. getting ready for a short trip to your old temporary stomping grounds in Charleston. My wife and I took our daughter to CAMC for some scans scheduled at 8 and 9 this morning. We arrived early and were walking out at 8:45. Returned home, ate some breakfast and then grabbed the T5 Played some regular songs for about 45 minutes and then learned a couple of new ones.

This afternoon I decided I'd take a ride on the motorcycle and was fortunate that our daughter wanted to ride. About an hour and half into the ride, the skies darkened and the rain came. And to think that when we pulled out there was no indication of rain. Oh well, if you ride a motorcycle, sooner or later the rain will find you.

We had a great day!!!

Well, rain so took the grandkids to a mall. Played in the indoor playground then an indoor train ride around the mall....was fun. Then to lunch with them. Funny kids. Then home...surfing web, playing my guitars on the porch.

Dinner at our little Mexican restaurant. Grandson came over later with a little doctor kit. Wanted to exam us! So cute. He brought a saw!!!! Said it was for surgery! Just ordered Nike’s latest court tennis shoes. Enjoying a bottle of Gnarley Head Pinot Noir and surfing the web.

Oh, Arlo Guthrie. Yes I know who he is but not well enough to go by his first name. Have fun!

More excitement than this homebody is used to
Todd - sounds like a great way to spend a day - with Tim and Mary.

Hi Tom, lots packed into a day. T5 and a bike ride with your daughter must be a great day, even with the rain.

I must not be "most people".

Just got back from seeing Arlo Guthrie. This is the 45th anniversary from when I first saw him (with Pete Seeger at that show). He did a bunch of different songs, which was nice, including some Donovan and Bob Dylan songs. His updated version of Alice's Restaurant was great, too. Boy, did he have some great stories to tell, many about his father; Arlo is just as outspoken about these current times as his dad ever was about his. Loved it!

Thanks for following up, Jeff. I did listen to some Arlo and Woody a couple of years ago but that's the only extent of my listening.
