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.

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.

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.

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.

You have a lot of vegetable coming up. Are you going to put them in your garden.

What happy and healthy looking plants you have. Sounds like your having a great day. We are at the end of our Saturday but I am going to finish my postings before heading to bed. Enjoy your gig.

I checked out a few garage sales and a church bazaar but didn't see anything interesting to buy.

Just doing a little cleaning and drinking some coffee is all.

@TheHorse - I'm not much for tea, other than Chai or certain green teas.
