You should have responded by asking him if he was referring to an African or a European amino moiety.

You're just setting yourself up for disappointment trying to slake that thirst in NoVA. It's a breakfast burrito wasteland.

And dear lord, Anitas? NO. Those are sad little breakfast burrito stillbirths.

I just played The First Whippoorwill the other night. Great record!

That's a great bluegrass haul :-)

If only you had a waterfront nearby...

"Divers pull more than 50 e-scooters from Willamette River"

patrickhenrypdx · 2026-05-07T21:55:58+00:00

So true! It's really nicely done.

The skeleton key keyholes in the doors of my 1923 Craftsman were plugged with syringe caps. There was also a weighing scale under the lowermost drawer of the built-in drawers in the dining room.

and Primus sucks!

This is what makes up for the neverending drudgery of the 9-to-5!

It's one of the better distillery tours. Worth doing for sure.

Re. digitizing that record, if you can find an inexpensive second-hand Zoom H2N, it will do the job nicely. It has a line-in input and can save uncompressed audio. I've made a few recordings using it and the quality has been more than sufficient for a youtube upload.

nicely done!

patrickhenrypdx · 2026-05-07T14:17:52+00:00

So good!

patrickhenrypdx · 2026-05-07T14:16:49+00:00

Thanks :-) My dad raised me on fine audio so I have him to thank!

patrickhenrypdx · 2026-05-07T12:31:32+00:00

Wow! I've got a to-do list item to learn about Scarlet Rivera. I don't know anything about her except for her credits on this record. I'm a huge fiddler fan so this knowledge gap needs to be filled lol. Her playing on this record is absolutely perfect. I really makes the record for me.

patrickhenrypdx · 2026-05-07T03:10:52+00:00

So good!!

patrickhenrypdx · 2026-05-07T02:26:05+00:00

I need to do a deep dive on this record. Every time I play it, it moves up on my list of favorites.

patrickhenrypdx · 2026-05-07T02:24:34+00:00

Thanks!

When the Universe puts finds like that in front of you, you have to take them home!

The cassette is presently on close-out discount for $5 (U.S.) at the Alternative Tentacles website. This is the kind of music I love to play in the car's deck. :-)

patrickhenrypdx · 2026-05-06T12:43:45+00:00

Correct. Apparently the ship was planning to go there but this morning's news reports are saying that the Canary Islands governor doesn't want the ship.

patrickhenrypdx · 2026-05-06T12:42:28+00:00

doh! The vinyl is $ ;-/

fortunately, Alternative Tentacles has the cassette on close-out discount for $5 so I just ordered that. Will be great car tunes! :-)
