44° outside and foggy, waiting for the sun to rise. 70° should be our high today with partly cloudy skies and a 19% chance of rain at 3:00 PM.

I trust all are well and in good spirits. Christmas time is coming.

@warrior-cat Ready to face the day. You know it.

Morning Legionnaires!

29° this morning with moderate winds. High to be in the mid 40's.

Rooting for the Cincinnati Bearcats this morning (noontime for you eastern time zone folks) as they take on Looserville in the Wasabi Bowl. Waaaaasaaaaaaaabi! What are you doing? Watching the game and having a Bud and rooting for the Bearcats. True, True.

You guys enjoy the day and by the way:

IT'S GAME DAY!

Good morning from ATX. Currently 42°F, clear with a light wind. We may hit 58°F. Great weather for a long walk.

Game comes on at 5:15 pm ET today. I look for a tough outing.

Wife watching Brubaker. Nothing like a 43 year-old prison movie to start your Saturday morning. Ugh.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Should be watching Brew-Baker with a beer and soft pretzels in hand to go along with the theme.

Channel surfing and I came across a 1943 early World War 2 movie called Thunderbirds. Pretty ordinary but has a very young -- 22-year-old -- Gene Tierney in it.

My goodness, what a beautiful young woman. I recall seeing her in movies from later years and she was still a beauty but can't recall seeing her when she was about this age:

 
This one is for Sawnee: Murray is a near by town,

Last night we were watching Holiday Inn and my wife and I commented on how beautiful Marjorie Reynolds was. And the shape those women were back then. You had to really look hard to find a fat one. They were just gorgeous from head to toe.

It was a cold 31°F this morning when I first got up. We are now at 37° and are supposed to get to 40° with a small chance of rain; however, based on the big blue sky out there now it does not seem probable.

Women have always been something we men like to look at. The styles during the WWII era and shortly after were designed to enhance a woman. I wish we could go back to them.

Most of those entertainers while acting and singing were also well versed in the dance which required a lot of exercise/practice.

I don't even think about dancing, but attended The Mel Tillis show in Branson after Roger Miller died. Mel and Roger broke into the business together in Minnie Pearl's band and were good friends. The second half of Mel's show was a tribute to Roger and his musical Big River. Mel said he lost 30 pounds preparing and doing the dancing the tribute required.

I think that went a long way in keeping them in shape.

I know my aunts were all very thin and fit but they did a lot of walking. The Post Office was about 4 miles from their house and they walked to it every day. Then working in the garden and doing house work without modern conveniences kept them fit. Also early to bed and early to rise.

It was a total different world and generation than today.
 
Any luck in the oyster beds?

No Sir,

The tides are up. We are sitting on the "bank". Just got back in the car for a few minutes. The tides change seems small today.

I will post a picture later...

May stop at a couple markets.

Edit: I had to check but I was able to snap part of a pic showing a man in the water. I talked to him and his two sons. More later...
 
Yes I do. 2 of them in fact. I bought the first one in the 70s then more recently a 200-gram LP made from the master tape. I probably have 7 or 8 Beatles albums including a Sgt. Peppers from the first pressing.
You are a collector UK82.

I worked with a bunch of purist jazz and rock guys. They only believed in vinyl, tube type amps et.al. My brother in law had a massive collection of vinyl. He played bluegrass, rock, country, jazz etc. Excellent at a guitar and he always had to tune the instruments in his band because he could hear all the bad notes. James Steen was special.

Because of them I was late getting into CD's, but I never got rid of my vinyl. Plus my kids do like you; they are going more and more to vinyl. But I don't even have my turn table hooked up.

I used to take my new vinyl records and play them through once. Then I would record them next and store the vinyl never to be used again unless I screwed up the copied CD or tape. So I have some close to virgin vinyl.

I am not a purist as my hearing is not good (life time of allergies and flying small planes when my ears were congested), so I can't qualify as a judge of good musical reproduction, so a CD sounds as good as vinyl to my ear; however, I can tell the difference between a full uncompressed CD versus an MP3.

Being that I can't hear well has saved me a lot of money.

I am in the same boat. I have a very nice collection of vinyl records, some going back to the mid 1950's. When cassettes and CD's came out I would do the same as you Bert. Record them and put up the vinyl record. Never to be played again. I have a George Jones and a Johnny Cash that has never had the plastic wrapping removed and has remained unplayed for 40 or 50 years. So like you I have some beauties. Mine are mostly Bluegrass and country and a lot of gospel my parents had.

Every time a guest gospel singer came to church and had a record to sell, mama would buy it. Some of the old stuff is pretty good. I have several turntables hooked up around the house.

Your BIL and I would have gotten along famously. I'm also a tube guy. Unfortunately my hearing is also on the poor side Bert and getting worse. It's a cruel fate for an audio enthusiast like myself. Surprisingly I have better luck with headphones nowadays.
