Greybeard

Despite having read a bit of this thread a week ago, I just read the title and said "what the hell does tesla have to do with a bowie knife." Getting old makes things like that happen.

How do you tell if it is a female?

Traditional Chinese.

It is good to know you know the album. I listen to a lot of music with headphones and the sound of the Martians opening up their capsule just sticks with me. The imagery the sounds paint in the album are so real. It harkens back to when radio was "THE" medium. Must be 20 years since I have given the entire album a listen. Must be overdue.

I am a bit disappointed they did not set up a sting on the NY end.

Thanks for correcting me. I have thought Michael Brown was the writer for years. It was odd in the video's of both bands they hardly showed him. All to often the vids are too centered on the lead singer. Even some video's with a great guitar part.

I have a slightly similar story. I heard Tuesday Afternoon in what I believe was the end of January of 1968. I was listening to CHUM at the time. It was one of those songs that when you heard it the first time, you just had to here it again. Not many songs you like instantly. There used to be a band in southern Ontario called Major Hooples Boarding House that did a great version of Tuesday Afternoon and SeeSaw. The SeeSaw version was almost identical to the Moodies. Also if you liked the MB's you may have missed this great song, from Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds." It is by Justin Haywood. The Jeff Wayne album is worth a listen and Forever Autumn fits it perfectly.

Yes. He wrote both songs and played keyboard on both. He was the main force behind The Left Bank. That Left Bank album is one of my top 10 albums. The music is very distinctive. It was supposed to be Baroque rock. Did you know that or look it up?

I am a bit late with this but a day or two ago, they interviewed an AUT crosscountry skier or biathlon athlete who won the bronze. I am going to paraphrase a bit but his reply was something like, " I train by myself, I compete by myself, I am happy I won the metal." He didn't give that standard line " I am so happy I can do this for my country."

This post gets high Nielsen ratings!!

What do these two songs have in common? I tried to imbed a version that shows the band playing but Youtube blocked it.

I don't recall any team or individual winning by so much. The guy is a 0.5 sec ahead at the first timer and basically just holds it the rest of the way. I guess that is what happens when an ex-track guy gets into the sport. I assume the more runs he gets in the future will only make him better.

I like your list, at least those that I have seen. If you like Korean movies there are a couple of movies I could recommend, but won't unless you ask because I had to use Kodi to watch them. Mrs Maziel is a great break from the more serious entry's. I agree the lady playing Mrs Maziel does a great job. I find a lot of the humor perfect for me and I also like the period it is set in. Liked the first year of Broadchurch, haven't watched the next two. Typically British, but I like that, in TV anyway. There is no way you get an idea of what the show is about by the title, Happy Valley . I also thought it was excellant. Based on your list, I think I will give The Bridge a look. Just checked, it is not on Netflix and is pay for view on Amazon, so I guess it goes to the Kodi list. Also, if you enjoyed Happy Valley, try Hinterland., on Netflix.

On a unrelated subject, I'm glad to see you have broken the bonds of internet suppression.

I saw the Fifth Estate story on Tim. The guy that killed him was total evil. The total randomness of the event makes the story beyond scary. I happened to find that story on a Kodi channel with a lot of other documentaries. The Fifth Estate is a first rate program.

If this thing is radio controlled, I want to see it fly.

It could have been a loss. How do they know what price you obtained it at?

Here is a video of what happens when an arc flash occurs. In this case I believe it is a 480 V circuit which is common in the US. Higher voltages make it worse. I am guessing most here have never heard of this. Work in a factory? You have all kinds of circuits around that operate on this voltage.

The lady snowboarders are on now and the wind is really making this interesting.

After the initial bad luck of wrong place, wrong time, that guy got really lucky. The bus really had to go out of its way to get him, unless that is in the UK.

There are two sides to every breaker. The incoming side and the load side. Things go wrong, the incoming side is probably still hot. That and it takes very little current to kill someone. A regular breaker is not going to save you. Hence the development of the ground fault breaker.

I liked this. I went over to Youtube to listen to a few of their other songs. They had a cover of "David Watts," a song best heard live.

Here is another which probably has more universal appeal. A buddy let me borrow his copy back in late 66. This was the album that showed me there was more than just pop radio. Still rates in my top 10 albums. If you like blues based music, I am sure you will find a couple of great songs on here. The song "Flute Thing" was so different than anything I had heard before, at the time. In late 67, when I went to college, guys from NYC said these guys would give free concerts in Central Park back then. For whatever reason they couldn't catch on. Also, I believe this to be Al Kooper's first band, for those that know who he is.

I played this album so much when I was a kid that the color of the album was literally grey. Those sapphire needles and a lot of plays did that. Surf music, my second most favorite genre. Earlier today I was searching Youtube for versions of Pipeline. Back in the 90's when I frequented users groups, there was a guy who claimed be had over 100 different versions of Pipeline, so I had to see how many I could find.

Twice a year at least. You can fix a problem when it is small, or when it is big. Your choice. I have done both in the past and smaller is always better.
