Looks like fun, all right.
And I want to thank you once again, Miss Donnah, for your wonderful birthday present last week. It's right up there with the Rollerblades I got for my 12th b-day. :)

Donnah's right again..

Duane is having a better something than anybody else...
;)

Regards and thanks..

Having a Better than anybody, fer sure. And playing the Strat thru an AC50. What a toneful combo that is. Not as classic as the LP thru Marshall, maybe, but great just the same. Thanks, Donnah, for sharing these gems.

All four corners of the compass better and all the planes above.

I dunno.. I am not much of a Fender afficianado, ..I am an even worse speller, but that looks like a
Jazzmaster, or Musicmaster.. It's got too many switches for a Strat, but I am probably wrong- again.

The song looks like "Gotta get Away"

What..ladies , NO underwear and tangy wits talk ??

It's only Thursday morning, Owen. And Cindy hasn't shown up yet, so have patience. I suspect some new and improved Peach-Flavored Extra Frothy Tang will turn up sooner or later.

Well, well, well...........ain't this a NICE one!I couldn't have asked for anything better to accompany my extra frothy Tang & Peach thingy this morning.

Owen there will be no discussion of fashion today.....instead I am going to shut my eyes.....concentrate really hard and imagine.....

Aahh.............bliss! I have forgotten all about my 401K!

Thank you dearest Donnah, Miss Queen of Peach! We needed this in the worst way today! Skydog, enriching our lives from 1968 to 2008!

Wail on, (forever) Skydog!

Tang it, Cindy..money ?? WHAT money ??

I've got fish, gator and turtle, and some wussy looking squash, and I have no idea what my sweet taters look like..(cuz they's underground)
and a crossbow.

Saw three gas stations without fuel this a.m., anybody else ??

Ohhhhh Donnah.. Ohhhhh Donnah.. I had a girl.. Donnaaaah was her name..

I've always loved that song..it is just a great song.
Anyway, I finally figured out what you were eluding to with 'da planes remark..

I think, based on last week's episode, that we have been given a *sign*.

Duane isn't gawking at some cheapskate in a Cessna, or the eeEEffFFF Beee
Eyeee.. *fava beans..phhhhhhtt* in a blackhawk.

No, he is just answering Robert Johnson's instructions- I can almost here him saying above the warm blast of those paper cones -

"Is this the note..?"

At least you have sweet potatoes. The deer ate mine right down to the ground early on and they never did get over it. They left most of my other stuff alone, but I had really hoped for some sweet taters to make biscuits with. These people that live up the road, they actually put out corn for the deer.
Why do they do that? This is way out in the country, there's plenty of woods and fields, the deer are not hurting for food, and these dimwits put out corn, encouraging them to come around more often and eat up every green thing that doesn't fight them back. They killed my beloved daylilies three years running and now I have quit planting them. I ought to shoot the deer, but I'd rather shoot my neighbors. Never had a big problem till they showed up. lol
Oh well, I've got a ton of spaghetti squash and zucchini and the tomatoes just keep rolling in. Going to have turnips soon too. The one good thing about being underemployed right now is I have time to can and freeze the stuff. So I'm not forced to slink up to friends' doors and leave baskets of surplus and try to sneak away before they see me and set their dogs on me. :)
Owen, I wonder... how do you think sweet taters wold be if you sprinkled a little bit of Tang powder over them?

And of course Robert Johnson's reply......

"Yes, that is the note indeed Brother, come on down to the crossroads and let's pick awhile"

That is one session I would have like to have heard.....just imagine.......

Early this mornin'
when you knocked upon my door
Early this mornin', ooh
when you knocked upon my door
And I said, "Hello, Satan,"
I believe it's time to go."
Me and the Devil was walkin' side by side
Me and the Devil, ooh
was walkin' side by side
And I'm goin' to beat my woman
until I get satisfied

Some of my favorite Robert Johnson lyrics. I can imagine Duane getting fired up on some slide on this little number! ;) They might have even had some Sweet Potato Pie during a break in the action. What do ya'll think? Now I don't think Tang would have been their drink of choice since they both liked a drink with alot more "kick".

Wail on, Skydog!

If I recall, Robert Johnson met his end with the help of a little extra "kick" to his drink.
Tang with vodka makes a pretty decent screwdriver. No orange pulp in your drink.

"And the Wind Cried Mary."
And Skydog Cried Back to Her;
Her tears, Crimson Streaks in the Evening Light.

'His Master's Voice'.. saying.. Silly rabbit, Tang is for spacemen..besides the last time I got caught up in a tang conversation, Starla threatened to
whip her wits out..

Sheesh, Starla Dahling, I had no idea you were
a food growing person..at all. Aren't you in tundra land ??

Tundra land? Southern Delaware is a long way from tundra land, at least at this time of year. Yeah, I am a food-growing person, it's a hold-over from my impoverished youth. I'm a thrifty, enterprising little country girl. My childhood idol was Ma Ingalls. (The fact that she was afraid of Indians posed some small problems, but we worked it out eventually.) lol
And I'll whip out my wits any time you want. I know guys like seeing some pointed wits.
Oh, btw, my man and I were discussing Tang this morning, and he told me a favorite concoction of his used to be a Tangwich. It may be a West Virginia specialty, I don't know. Wonder bread, Marshmallow Fluff, and Tang powder sprinkled on top. Personally, I'll pass. I hate that fake marshmallow stuff.

I tried to get ya'll to consentrate on Skydog and the music this week, but if the discussion is to be about Starla's sharp *its...opps sorry, sharp wits and Tang then so be it.;)

Paco.....a beautiful bit of poetry for us......priceless!

I wish a very good weedend to all my favorite Duaneiacs!

Wail on, Skydog!

Well hell Starla...hot damn !!

Delaware was almost in the South !! NOT !

Anyway..the closest thing I have had to a Tangwich, would be I guess what you might call a Crunchy mustard sandwich..it's a fishin' thing.

Congrats on the wits !!

This is just getting a little too er...... 'flowery' for me.

We're talking about a MAN here, people......

And whatta man, as Salt n Pepa used to say.
Owen, Delaware did fight on the Union side, however they were a slave state. The northern part of the state, "above the canal" as they call it, is much more "yankee" in speech and lifestyle. The southern part "slower lower Delaware" is "southern" in lifestyle, speech and food.
For the record, I grew up in Oklahoma, which I would consider the South even if 1. it's more "midwestern" geographically, and 2. It didn't get to be an actual state till I believe 1912?
Crunchy mustard sandwich? You can have it and the Tangwich. It's making me feel a little sickish.

I looked it up; Oklahoma became a state in 1907. It was opened to white settlers in 1889.

Oooooklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plains.. !!

I heerd a lotta stories
an' I reckon they're true,
'bout how girls are put upon by men.
I know I mustn't fall into the pit.
But when I'm with a feller, I fergit!
I'm jist a girl who cain't say no
I'm in a terrible fix!
I always say "Come on, let's go"
Jist when I oughta say "nix!"

"Prairie Songbird ?"

Are you SURE you're no relation to Skydog ??

Fairly sure. Although my own family sometimes wonders where I came from; most all the other women in my family are quite curvy, if not downright plump, and I've got the body of a 12-year-old. Hmmmm... maybe... Nah, not likely. Coloring's way off.

12 year old..!! huh.

OOooooooooooooklahoma !!!Where the wind comes sweeping down the plain !!

And I wear size four shoes. I was a Chinese concubine in a previous life.

I guess we don't qualify for a Skydog pic this week..

The day's not over yet. Still got a good seven hours or so.

Patiently waiting................................

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
opps, sorry, fell asleep waiting!

wwwwwaaaaaiiiiitttttiiiiinnnnnggggg.............

Remember, true love waits, and patience is a virgin! :)
