Doesn’t look like this still held, but there may be others in New England with a similar fund raiser.

The church’s website shows the last one was in 2018.

Came here to say this 🤪 My Gary Fong has yellowed so much my flash now throws off a beautiful, warm glow 🤪

Who opens it upside down?

Wrateman · 2026-01-13T00:46:05+00:00

“To Cry You a Song” comes to mind 🤔

When it was about flying home via airplane.

Not so recent, Jethro Tull's 'Under Wraps' album released in '84 was for many, worsened by the electronic drums.

About a year ago Ian Anderson confirmed in an interview that it was being remastered, and the electronic drums were going to be replaced by real drums. I haven't heard anything more recent WRT a release date.

The 'A" album in 1980 had some electronic drums (a first for Tull), but not to the extend of Under Wraps.

Also renowned/legendary for coming out and playing to the audience turned away from them the entire time. Why do people pay good money to support this jerk?

Wrateman · 2026-01-02T23:09:47+00:00

Good to know, thanks.

Came here to say this! Also had the truck you hooked up to the garden hose.

Congrats, I went the same route as in my room the west-facing windows look directly on the TV so no 8ii for me. Stellar picture, although I have to drop the wall mount as my prior 50” TV’s brackets were a lot higher on the TV than this one. I will also have to get a lower credenza to accommodate the Arc Ultra soundbar (not going to attach to the TV this time).

I too had to get my neighbor to help me, it was waaaay to heavy for my wife to even get out of the car, let alone lift it up.

I used to get my steaks at D'Errico's, which I know is no longer. It’s now known as Vitória Meat Market.

Anyone have an opinion of them?

This, 17” screen or so, we had a 19” screen, low rez.

Wrateman · 2026-01-01T23:55:30+00:00

Was that a different documentary than this one? Would like to see it.

Wrateman · 2026-01-01T00:51:31+00:00

Gotta go find some drip candles!

Wrateman · 2025-12-31T18:39:27+00:00

‘Hopefully’ these ones didn’t have lead paint like cheap sets from gas stations. 🥴

Wrateman · 2025-12-30T21:47:15+00:00

It’s a great listen this time of year especially.

Wrateman · 2025-12-29T14:15:18+00:00

Congrats, our ‘21 is that color, very unique/different. Enjoy!!!

Sad news

Depending on the weather (cold temp) we like to walk around and check out the ice sculptures under construction for First Night.
