Can't go wrong with ZZ top!  Have you laid any track yet?

 

BTW, one of your cousins have made a home in our garden pond.  We are going to let him stay...he keeps the insect population down!

No track, new program I am working with Visio, but, have not found Stans web page yet.

I am going slow and low.......besides I have to hear Byron moan and grown (I guess for sane support for him Big Smile [:D])

I heard ZZ Top is really from New Jersey and play Japanese guitars and that Cadzilla was really only 1/16 scale and the band used altered photography to make it look real and they lip synched to backward masked Debbi Gibson.

 

Glad to have you back online my G brutha.!

When I lived in the Republic of Texas in my formative years we used to catch those little horny toads and keep them in jars and feed them flies and red ants.  Have things improved since circa 1948-1953 for the Toad species?
