Hooked up with a fellow speaker geek (Glenn Hopkins) this weekend. He goes by Drummer on the PE and DIY forums. Been talking to him for three years, finally got together and hung out. We had a jam session Sunday with a couple of his guitar player buddies. Great time. He built a set of the DIYSG Vortex 15's Sweet sounding units. Also has a set of newer JBL and Klipsch speakers. Not a from scratch guy, but loves audio and music.
Ha! Right. Well it is a bit slower tempo than I normally play😛 It was a nice change, I miss getting to just jam and see what happens. That's the first time in long long time I got to do that. Thanks for listening🤘🏼
This was eight years ago, rehearsal/jam session I ended up recording. Said audio buried somewhere. This was one of the projects I was doing sound for, played a bunch of oldies with a modern sound.
Speaking of. This was another project, this was from a gig they put together for DakotaDIY 2014. Bryan recorded this with his iPhone. Wife on vocals. Bass and lead guitar from the picture above. All regionally famous musicians.
Keep in mind I dislike Led Zeppelin, and that was a running joke in the band.
I am stranded at home until plows come by - and my side-street is very low priority. My entire neighborhood is low priority, actually.
Official total for the storm is 12.6", but with SoDak being one of the windiest places on the planet drifting is in the 2-6' range. We experienced gusts to 50mph overnight. Still windy right now, so I will be snowblowing later today to at least get my driveway cleared before the plows throw a bunch more white shit there.
Tomorrow is going to dip in to the high-teens, low 20's... in the negative. Nothing like a deep freeze following a pretty epic blizzard.
We had freezing rain with snow on top that left a solid layer about 1/4" thick on the driveway and walks. Some of it you could get under with a shovel and it would just peel up. Some of it you had to chip off the concrete. Two days of cold and close to 50 this weekend.
I took this screen shot last night. Snow from the west edge of SD to Boston.
Having grown up in Ottawa in the 60's, this time of the year afforded us kids the ability to skate over the frozen-rain covered snowdrifts engulfing cars, road-side snow-plowed embankments and neighbors yard fences like little demons.
It was awesome then but I wouldn't trade living here in the South for that crazy shit any longer.
Coldest I have experienced was -40*F up there and we got snowed in with drifts so deep we couldn't open the doors to the house and had to go outside through a bedroom window.

I forget what lens I used.

Booo!!

Here's a video of a jam we did.
Jam at the Glenn
You look a bit bored

I was waiting for you to break into some Steve Harris reverse arpeggios... then let the head banging begin!
I didn't want to frighten the guys. That look is me trying hold the metal within😈
When ya gotta go ya gotta go. No sense in holding it in!
Go advice for a number of occasions.
In the words of Eric, "evil waits". It will appear eventually.

The drum kit belongs to me cousin, he bought it from Scott Churilla of Reverend Horton Heat. Nice kit.

Well, I'm fine with Zep, and that was a fine rendition. 🤘🏼
...and for Ben.....

I did the guitar/bass/vocals. Buddy of mine did drums.😈
I figured I would listen to a few seconds to check it out, instead I ended up listening all the way through. Sounds really good!

Where do the wife and I re-locate?
Drifts. My shovel is going to get a work out! M

My antique snow blower is going to struggle, this stuff is pretty hard-packed.
Figure on starting around noon, with -15 to -20 tomorrow I ain't doing anything but driving to work.
Don't pick Rockford... our weather, and taxes suck!
Ugh, that's fucking awful.
Blew 20" out today, and 18 yesterday ..
I thought a high of 23 tomorrow sounded bad. At -15 I wouldn't even be going to work.
So glad that we're out of that potential crap. It's 70 today. 😛

We were in the 80s yesterday and Monday. Rest of the week will be low 50s. And then 70s again.
Out here where I live (West Coast) when it snows the sun usually comes out the next days and melts what little fell the night before.
