What are you up to on this Saturday morning?

I hope you're enjoying your Saturday. I just spent some time out on my balcony, watering my garden starts and sanding a Dynaco A-25 single (vintage loudspeaker from 1971) that will be paired up with another A-25 that I have here. Then a friend called, and said he's coming to my gig tonight with the Diablo Rhythm Wranglers. He talked about issues he's having with his bands (he's an excellent mandolin player who also plays killer guitar and bass). We swapped stories. Now, I'm back to chill mode, sanding in the late morning/early afternoon sun, and eating some leftover BBQ from Everett & Jones in Berkeley (the best in the Bay Area. How is your Saturday shapjng up? I'll attach a picture of my starts, taken at about 10 AM this morning. If you look closely, you'll see corn, tomatoes, sunflowers, squash, green beans, and snow peas.

I see the corn. It's the only one I would recognize. Sounds like a good day shaping up. My day - I went to a ladies brunch and took a nap, watched a couple episodes of West Wing on Netflix, played a bit on my game and I'm here.

West Wing was a good show...one of the few (from my perspective).

Love those games. I get hooked on some and lately I have found a site to do puzzles. I sit by the hours doing them in the computer.

@TheHorse I agree. I'm not politically minded, but I liked this show and I learned a lot from it.

Those look like very healthy sprouts, btw before I forget, somebody brought in a pair of vintage Pioneer speakers model cs-722p from 1970 I guess, could you give me a rough estimate how much they might be worth? I would appreciate it very much since I know you are knowlegeable on these things. Have a great Saturday.

@TheHorse yes they are real heavy wood, I think the " P "at the end means it was built in the Philippines, most that I searched has an " A" perhaps for the American market, I picked it from an old home for 4 dollars wait will take a pic and show it to you.

I think they're worth about $120. Are the cabinets real wood?

More or less @ramapo17 I like to be outside when I can but the winds have blown in some really nasty insects I've never before had to deal with, one got into my right eye not too long ago and caused it to swell almost shut .... I'll have to wait until it gets too hot for them to be out and about.

@rebelann That's not a good thing. I hate all the bugs that won't leave me alone.

I stayed in Indianapolis last night, even though it's only a two-hour drive home after the concert. I looked at RVs (RV=Retirement Vehicle ) at a couple of dealerships there before I came home. Lovely day for me.

Wow. Sounds like you have a great garden. How hot is it there? I am visiting family in New Jersey and it has been pouring all day. Back home in Florida it is 91.

It's 68 and sunny here. I'm hoping to take some of these spouts to the preschool in Berkeley. Some will stay on my balcony to make it festive.

Some will wind up in larger planters on my balcony. Others will wind up at the preschool.

Your plants all look very healthy. How long before some get transplanted? I guess that's the plan?

Well, I kind of looked forward to it. But I'm getting a bit gig-jaded. We need to integrate some new material.
