Jen is practically jumping out of her skin about seeing my tattoo, it's still kind of smeary, extra ink and medication, and everything is still on it, and I can't scrub it, so I wanted to wait, but I'll put it here now. My artist for one, actually likes Tull, when I told him what I was getting, he pulled out his flute and started to play Bouree. He's a huge biker guy probably my dad's age and he said he was told to play the flute because he has a huge space between his teeth and they told him when he was young that would help him play well. That being said he was concerned about the line I wanted to use. He was afraid that it wouldn't be understood, people would think that there are mistakes here and that I would get tired of explaining it so I'd just tell people, "Yeah, my artist messed up." and blame it on him. There's been a few other people worried about the grammar of this line but I refused to change it, keep it like it is, please! I don't care if it doesn't make sense to others. Still, this is a "What did I just do?" moment. haha. I wanted to thank Steve and others for helping me figure it all out as well. And Dan for trying to talk me out of it. haha. nice !!

She's never here...and neither are you! Oh Mike, please stay, hang around! I did not expect you here this evening! I have to go to sleep now...but, please, play with us! LOL, How sweet! You're funny Holly. I got lost last night and ended up here somehow. I don't get by much these days, but saw where Monkey, uh, TM, put up Paradise Steakhouse which caught my eye and made my stomach growl. So then I had to go and eat a banana, peanut butter and honey sandwich and forgot to come back because I'm old now. Also, I don't think I know anybody here much anymore. I think I fell into some "murky" time warp or something. I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore. Or is it Alabama.

Oh Mr. Crowe, remember those long and convoluted notes back and forth on the old board. Having a conversation out of all the Broadsword lyrics.
Lemme see...Quizz is still here, me, TM, Dan, Jeff...my best friend Jen just recently joined.
The "new" people here are quite awesome as well. A bunch of us all different board members are going to meet up for a show in Boston in October.
Me waiting for an email from you only Halloween and St. Patrick's Day every year is sad.

A bunch of us all different board members are going to meet up for a show in Boston in October. Me waiting for an email from you only Halloween and St. Patrick's Day every year is sad. Yeah I remember the late nights when you and me were usually the only ones online - you were just a kid then, and I remember Jen came in early on but I think we ran her off. Everybody was so sarcastic in those days, along with the trolls like .... Charles La Something or other, but these days most of my work is late at night and I won't be buggered during the day - too much to do. I assume however, that you still enjoy playing with moose parts. No, I'll never forget that. Yes, I know Quizz, Fatman, Tm, Danno and Shark Daniel, but most of my old click is long gone, 'cept for you and Blue. I was one of the first five to sign on here then I vanished. I've gotten like that of late. I just evaporate sometimes. We had a bunch up for the IA/Tull gig last October in Nashville but I had to work and missed it. I saw the youtube though. Not quite the same. Yes it's sad to have to wait until Halloween for that virtual hello card isn't it. I have several friends here in their early 30s who have young families and they are like too busy to spit really. So I just assume that with that herd you have that you must be murked out as well. I will try to do better though. Okay, it's 3am, time to evaporate. BTW, did you ever get another horse? I wrecked on of those in my early teens and still carry a limp. P.S. I like the tattoo. I got one once that covered both arms. So I walk into the bank one day and the teller says, "You're over drawn ......... (rimshot!!)

I have something for you: Maybe..8 years later and I have the actual footage of that event for you. There's the moose antler, I think the jaw...and a leg/hoof.

I have something for you: Maybe..8 years later and I have the actual footage of that event for you. There's the moose antler, I think the jaw...and a leg/hoof. Ha! What a hoot. I do remember you having this video and used to try to get you to send it to me. Now it's here for all to see. Looks like you were enjoying munching down on that moose jaw. What a strange trip. I used to try to sprout antlers but then I'm a hat guy so that would probably be a bit grim. I remember playing this moose lodge up in Tennessee decades ago and I asked the Exhausted Rooster if they ever wore antlers. He said yes, but only among other members. Well, as the night progressed, and copious amounts of alcohol consumed, the anters came out, and it was this weird scene of a hundred or so mooses dancing to Jumping Jack Flash. I thought that was quaint. Anyway, as good as this vid is, it's not quite as good as the video of you and Jen on that road trip singing Beastie a few years ago though. That one should have been nominated for documentary of the year award. I think you two were driving under the influence .. Sorry about Abby. Yeah, you need a farm. I still live on my 20 acre farm but I don't have any horses these days. Had some 28 head of cattle years ago but some of them got this hoof disease and had to be put down. Cattle is hard work for one man, especially at my now advanced age. I hit the infamous six zero last November, but I'm still four days younger than Blue, hee hee. Now it's all about discussing our pain and food, ha. I'm still rocking however - not too old for that, though my left ear sometimes thinks it's had enough high decibel for one lifetime. I did this acoustic blues trio thing over this last year but even that got to be loud. Guess I'm just a loud guitar player. No, that tatoo thing was just a joke. I've never had a tatoo or a broken bone, or none that I know of. Amazing considering I'm so banged up. I did consider an ear piercing back in my pirate days but that was just a fad. Does IA post under his own name? I need to ask him something next time then. Thanks for posting the video. I must say, you wear moose antlers better than most. It was worth the 8 year wait. Now, where's that bed. I've an early day today ..

My neighbor just put up his Sportster for sale, but my brother beat me to it. It's a bit small for me but I would have succumed to the temptation at his blow out price, even if I'm more in need of a good Marshall amp. Sad thing is that they both cost about the same. How sad it that. Oh good, I'm in need of some new food instruction. It's all about the grub these days. Shellfish sounds laripen. I'm there.

I was in transition at that point so I may have skipped it. But I'm here now! Here there is "Break for moose, it could save your life" signs and of course that moose tour footage above was taken in NH. But that was as boring as heck, hence why we were playing with moose carcasses. Oh I'm jealous about the farm. We had sort of a farm in RI but it was only gardens, mine, the in laws and the dairy farm rented a bunch of the land in between for cow corn. We hope to have one up here at some point but this time will include animals. I have to say, since you brought up Abby and then I read your response, I just miss her and started to break down. And I don't think I ever did before this and seven years had gone by. Abby was very old and had special needs so I couldn't ride her, but I didn't want to. I was content with walking her around. With my dogs. Then all of us got Lyme. Anyway, tattoo seems to be healing up nicely...when I had my feet done they were so itchy I wanted to take fork and just rake over the tattoo, it was excruciating. I haven't had that yet but who knows, maybe I'm not there yet. Yes Ian Anderson is here under iananderson. I think he only made two posts. So what else is new, Mike?!

I haven't had that yet but who knows, maybe I'm not there yet. Yes Ian Anderson is here under iananderson. I think he only made two posts. So what else is new, Mike?! Awe, what great pics. I still have a pic of you and Abby somewhere that you sent once. So sorry that I brought up some sad memories. Same silly thing happened when my mom died. I didn't grieve, then my brother's partner got killed in a crash n burn plane crash ( they were cropdusters ) a few months later so then it all came out then at his funeral. Weird that. So what happened with that lyme thing. It's like you had it then boom, you're pregnant, then you never mentioned it again. I don't have any animals here now except for a Lab and my wife's cat, who is a terrorist. We do hay, gourds, watermelons and such, mostly so I can keep a hand in farming, which I miss. We used to have up to 450 acres of cotton, fairly big time, but that was when I was in my thirties. I was in the hay field today in fact. Well I'm still on dail up out here in the wilderness so I refuse to fuss with Facebook or anything that takes half my life to access. I was on for like a couple minutes, then got fed up and terminated it. I hope to join the 21rst century soonish. I would like to see that scary video of yours but it would take 83 years to download right now. Yes you did mention something about going to live in NH but you didn't give any details. So I didn't know you had already moved there. I'd like some details of that when I email you next. Look out sometime late October - hee hee .. The percussionist in my trio was in New York getting a tattoo last year and Dave Navarro was in there getting tattoo maintenence, so Dave inked his initials in my buddy's arm. They were filming for the series Ink, I believe it was called, at the time, but that part wasn't aired. No, nothing new, this is Alabama. I was forced into temporary semi retirement which reeks, but that's about to end. I will get to sweat again soon. That' about it.

Hey Monkey, ya bastard! Good to hear from you too, it's been a year or so I would think. I get over here when I can. Dare I say it . . .... I actually miss yous guys (sniff ) .. I assume you still straddle that slick iron horse on a sunny day. My neighbor just put up his Sportster for sale, but my brother beat me to it.

True, but if I drop the $2,800 for the Marshall I will only stock it with the best nos tubes. So the maintinence will be like $300 a year in back end tube cost. So that equates to some $25 or so a month, which is more than I spent as a casual rider on my brother's old Gold Wing. Hmm, perhaps I should consider a cheaper alternative.

Good to hear the tattoo is healing up well--it is very good! Great choice of lyrics too.

There's more me and Jen Beastie video that I recently put on Facebook that makes that road trip look as tame as grass growing. We weren't under any influence for any of it! haha. It is scary though.

But that was as boring as heck, hence why we were playing with moose carcasses. Oh I'm jealous about the farm. We had sort of a farm in RI but it was only gardens, mine, the in laws and the dairy farm rented a bunch of the land in between for cow corn. We hope to have one up here at some point but this time will include animals. I have to say, since you brought up Abby and then I read your response, I just miss her and started to break down. And I don't think I ever did before this and seven years had gone by. Abby was very old and had special needs so I couldn't ride her, but I didn't want to. I was content with walking her around. With my dogs. Then all of us got Lyme. Anyway, tattoo seems to be healing up nicely...when I had my feet done they were so itchy I wanted to take fork and just rake over the tattoo, it was excruciating. I haven't had that yet but who knows, maybe I'm not there yet. Yes Ian Anderson is here under iananderson. I think he only made two posts. So what else is new, Mike?! Awe, what great pics. I still have a pic of you and Abby somewhere that you sent once. So sorry that I brought up some sad memories. Same silly thing happened when my mom died. I didn't grieve, then my brother's partner got killed in a crash n burn plane crash ( they were cropdusters ) a few months later so then it all came out then at his funeral. Weird that. So what happened with that lyme thing. It's like you had it then boom, you're pregnant, then you never mentioned it again. I don't have any animals here now except for a Lab and my wife's cat, who is a terrorist. We do hay, gourds, watermelons and such, mostly so I can keep a hand in farming, which I miss. We used to have up to 450 acres of cotton, fairly big time, but that was when I was in my thirties. I was in the hay field today in fact. Well I'm still on dail up out here in the wilderness so I refuse to fuss with Facebook or anything that takes half my life to access. I was on for like a couple minutes, then got fed up and terminated it. I hope to join the 21rst century soonish. I would like to see that scary video of yours but it would take 83 years to download right now. Yes you did mention something about going to live in NH but you didn't give any details. So I didn't know you had already moved there. I'd like some details of that when I email you next. Look out sometime late October - hee hee .. The percussionist in my trio was in New York getting a tattoo last year and Dave Navarro was in there getting tattoo maintenence, so Dave inked his initials in my buddy's arm. They were filming for the series Ink, I believe it was called, at the time, but that part wasn't aired. No, nothing new, this is Alabama. I was forced into temporary semi retirement which reeks, but that's about to end. I will get to sweat again soon. That' about it. Oh no you were forced, I forgot, are you a teacher? Back when we used to chat in those long threads (like this is becoming) I was taking dance, now I'm teaching. You said look out late October, I hope this doesn't mean you're out now and not coming back. We've needed some action here on the board, been a bit slow, so it's good you're here. heehee. What was the really long thread before? My birthday or St. Patrick's Day...or both? I became dizzying, remember those would reply like a staircase shape. But I'm in NH now for a better life for us and so far, it has been. And the land is too flat in RI! Well the story about Abby is that she was shuffled around between some family members and had been neglected for some years. When I found her, she was all bones and I couldn't tell even what color she was supposed to be she was so grimy. I don't think she'd left the small pen in years. So I groomed her, gave her medications for parasites, brought her food, bought the harness and took her out so she could graze. The relatives didn't want her anyway so she was supposed to come to my new house when it was finished being built. Which was only next door. She could barely walk sometimes and would almost fall over a lot. I had to make sure all the rocks and sticks were out of her way or she'd trip. She became a little bit better over the course of a year. But when we were walking through all the fields some of us picked up ticks and I became very ill. So did my dog Caylee, she almost died because Lyme with dogs sometimes causes kidney failure. Around that time I sort of dropped off the old board. I was sick in bed, had to leave work and dance. I don't know a lot about Lyme and horses but part of me thinks she had already had it so maybe that's why she couldn't walk. Maybe she got reinfected from being with me. But a few months later she herself was dead. I feel like I wasn't there for her or I had a hand in making her become sick. I was stuck in bed. They told me they found her in her pen already gone but I just found out a few weeks ago she wasn't gone but in pain and suffering so she was shot. My house was finished a couple months later, a few months too late. I was sick for a year before getting help. I became a little better. I wanted to have a child but I was still sick and they told me there was a chance if I had one it may not survive. I was listening to APP a lot around this time. I really understood what it meant about how life is a gift, but comes at a price. I don't think I had really experienced pain like that, in a literal sense until that point. Hence, the tattoo and the lyrics. When I wanted to have a child, it became less of, will I ever be well enough to have one and more about maybe there's one just waiting..(passengers upon the ferry crossing, waiting to be born..) And there was! A few months later, I improved...Em came along. Unfortunately since then I was reinfected three more times. Going out to your car or mailbox became a risk. So I'm thrilled to be out of RI, it was terrible. But on the upside, all three kids are healthy, no one contracted it, and I have learned to mostly keep it under control with medication. That's the story and it sort of feels like I've taken all my clothes off in public right now... But anyway, re the farming. here's what I want. One here in NH, either on the mountains or a good view of them. A river or stream running through. A horse, a cow for dairy, chickens, goats...or maybe sheep...for wool, that might be awesome. And a cat. I don't have one. Also, sorry about your mom. Yeah, when Abby died I was more like, "Oh. Well that sucks" Dialup must be fun! haha, I was late to the high speed internet game too. We didn't have it at the old house until the end of 09, the cable company wouldn't even go down that road and we only finally got the high speed internet through the phone company.

Good to hear the tattoo is healing up well--it is very good! Great choice of lyrics too. Thanks Kai! I know, I love them, sometimes I'm still having a what did I do, moment, but it's good. haha It's still a little sore, I'm so impatient after a tattoo, the healing period. I yell at it, "Just heal already!" So I can go in the water again. Oh man, I just realized I'm supposed to go to a theme park tomorrow with waterslides, I don't know if I can go in. :\

We didn't have it at the old house until the end of 09, the cable company wouldn't even go down that road and we only finally got the high speed internet through the phone company. That's an amazing story Mothy - pretty heavy, bless your heart. I never knew you were so sick. I mean, you sort of vanished but I didn't want to pry you know. You have a good heart, and I'm sure Abby appreciated that. Things turned out pretty good though I'd say. A rafter full of healthy chillins and a fresh start. That farm idea of yours sounds simple enough. Just start with what you can get. Perhaps a couple of chickens. BTW, did I see you mention "duck nuggets" in Paradise Steakhouse? That's a new phrase on me. Kenny eats duck nuggets? Good name for an alturnative band. Anyway, sorry I prompted you into feeling naked in public. You got my email you know. No, I'm not a teacher. A guru of sorts perhaps, but not an official teacher. As to my semi retirement, I'll 'splain it to you offline later, perhaps late October. Well, that reference was to the traditional "Boo!" emails, meaning, I'll "see" you then for sure. I've had a little time the past few cause I've been coming in here for a few minutes after I finish work. You are keeping me from sleep again Mothy. And yes, it's starting to look like the old days, when we always had the siillys going on. Might orta stop this thing now really lest this site runs out of memory. Oh yeah, that long thread. Of course, that was the St Paddy's day thread wasn't it? And the long staircase replies. Not as bad as your messaging me, posting me and emailng me all at the same time. That message thing went "BOINK!" and I had my volume up, and it appears on my screen and it said "BOO!" So that's why you get a "boo" at Halloween. I can get highspeed through cable but I detest Comcast, and I'm Dish otherwise which I like. I'm just looking for the right deal at the moment. Might have to go cable again. Are you teaching dance, for real? I was saddened when you stopped that time. Is Em still dancing? What a doll. Well, think I'll go over to the Steakhouse and post the recipe for a balony sandwich. You know, two slices of bread, mayo and balony. Hmm, I better write that down first 'fore I forget.

That is quite a story, as Mike said. And having people like you on this board is what makes this place pretty damn special. I like your idea about the farm as well. I've been looking for quite a few years now for a place in the Adirondack Mountains. Feels like the right place to create a home for me.

Thank you TM and Mike, you guys are fabulous. I know we went through periods where we don't always chat, but as you can see now, it's like it doesn't matter, we're always friends. Other people here too obviously but...you know, in another year it will be a decade of being Tull friends!
Yes, duck nuggets, gross making them while pregnant. Ew. Hopefully soon we can get our farm, there are many already operational ones around, it'd be nice to just take one over. I'm in a nice area but no yard or anything and on the main road so we'll have to wait until we move, but I've got my eye out. I've been teaching dance since July, I had five girls in my class. I'm starting the new session Thursday and I should have a few more than that. Plus a separate class with some adults. Em is my student but it's not always ideal. She gets fidgety and just wants to play and I get the evil eyes from her when she gets tired and doesn't want to dance anymore. I remember the BOO! My next message was, "Did I scare you?" Your recipe sounds like my brother's recipe for soggy cereal. "Glen's recipe for soggy cereal. Pour cereal, add milk, leave for ten minutes, then come back, enjoy" From the sound of your post, it sounds like you're quitting for now. I hope you'll still come back once in awhile!
TM, that sounds exciting! You may be even closer to me!

TM, that sounds exciting! You may be even closer to me! Has it been ten years? That makes you one of my oldest friends. Ha, well, other than my older ones. I do actually still see people I've known since before first grade. I've lived in this farm community all my life. Well, if you can have duck nuggets then I guess it's okay to have rabbit nuggets, or even possum nuggets if your from here. I did once eat some rattlesnake nuggets. There's this famous musician here, Travis Wammack, called the snakeman, he used to kill them with a wrist rocket. He brought some snake by the studio once. It taste like ...... snake (only chicken taste like chicken). I knew it, Em is a diva. Well it sounds like you're getting busy with the arts again then - good for you. Glad you liked my recipe. I'll have to try your brother's. Good thing is, you have plenty of time to find that farm. I waited til I was 40 to build, glad I did. And if TM gets that place in the An mountains then we'll have a place to vacation. No, I'm not leaving, just ducking in n out.

Well, I think it will be 10 years by next year. So crazy! Snake, ew. I used to have to look at dead snake specimens in college and they were always coiled up, I don't know if they died like that or what but it always reminded me of curly fries.
We can take turns vacationing at TM's and mine, I think the Adirondacks and here are kind of similar. I know I have time, but I want it now! haha. I know the kids would love the farm life. I just have the dog and a couple of riodents (remember those) haha. Ducking in and out sounds good.

The only thing I do with ducks is feed them. Although they can be very aggressive so I hear. I have a friend who studied them and said that 80% of the time he would categorize the males behavior as rape ....

Yeah, they totally gangbang. Kenneth should be adopted by the Robertsons. One day at the old house I was in the garage and went into that fridge looking for a drink and I opened it up to find two ducks. He had hunted them but they still looked alive, they hadn't been cleaned or anything and were sitting upright. Killed and put in the fridge. But looked like they could've waddled away. Thanks for the warning, Kenneth. haha.

Never hunted. I prefer to think of the meat I eat as coming directly from the package that contains it.

haha..that would be great. One time I watched across the field as Kenneth field dressed a deer and I saw steam rising from it. Of course I was pregnant and nauseated as I always am in these disgusting food stories.
