Top of the Mornin' to ya all.

Today is a holiday for many across Canada as the 10 Provinces and three territories have their individual celebrations.

These kind of holidays are great for time with friends and families, and that makes it rewarding for those of us no longer in the work force too.

Sadly, the weather has dampened some of the festivities but we had a BBQ yesterday and I'm sure others made the rest of the long weekend enjoyable. Lots of lake country for those to enjoy.

To all the Canucks out there, hope your holiday is eventful. To all the rest have a terrific day.

And a good morning to all of you on this first day for the rest of your lives. Here's wishing this day and all of your days become great ones.

Happy to know your AC is back to running order, Mr. Nylon. AC is a wonderful invention IMHO.

Tornado warnings on TV last night, thunder and some showers only to wake up to a beautiful sunny day, and everything in place outside. :D Having some coffee and catching up on the Olympics.

Have a good one.

good day all- 6am getting ready for work...reading the paper, and playing my new tele for a bit before I head in. I have discovered that if I play at least 15 minutes in the morning, my mood is much better all day long.

Even though there's truth to that at times, and even if the grass is green, that's what we all say to cheer us up when it rages. Hahaha! :lol: FSB

Good morning Lizards. Sun is getting ready to peek out, coffee is on and tasting good. Listening to a bit of SRV this morning. Getting ready for my golf tourney this morning then 3 services at church this weekend - Dixieland Jazz. 14 member group - great musicianship and I love being in the middle playing rhythm and listening to notes floating into the air. Have a great weekend everyone!

Morning!
Got the Beatles playing and coffee brewing.
Thinking I'll wash the car and swamp out the interior.
Got a hot date tonight.
Taking her to a live music marathon.
There's a one day only event takes place here in my little town once a year.
This year I think there will be 8 bands/performers, all tribute bands.
Gonna 'see' Pat Benetar, AC-DC, Chrissie Hyde, Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley and one other that I always forget.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
