on local social media many are posting a photo of him and his two young children.... not sure of their ages but the oldest one couldn't be more than 2. It tears your heart out.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Is Pepper an English Springer Spaniel? I'm asking because we may be looking to get a dog NOT soon but perhaps this fall. Like to get one we can train to be a both an inside and outside dog and wondered how good of an indoor dog English Springer Spaniels are. Love the breed. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Apparently his Dad just waited for the police, no resistance. It's been one tragic event after another for our HS Football team the last few years. One coach died from cancer, mid-season. The next was an alcoholic fired in mid-season. And now perhaps the most loved coach here killed in this tragedy.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
that would make this tragic event more understandable. I have no idea of the specifics.. drugs and/or alcohol? Don't know... doesn't matter, still horrific. BUT.. if I hear anything more I'll let you know. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Cloud computing. I hate it... or rather, for the most part I hate it. Some minor applications don't bother me if they're cloud based but the big resource hog applications? Cloud based slows things up drastically and I hate it.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Truly, I do. If it wasn't for business these days I wouldn't have a cell phone either. But as it is... tech has made it almost impossible for me to take care of business without a phone. Example: My wife just had a minor accident.. in our driveway. :laughing She caught the front bumper of her car on our mailbox while backing up and ripped it off.... SOOOO... insurance. They have a claimby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I can walk down the hall without getting my feet attacked. No more sudden leaps onto my leg with full claws extended. No more attacks to the top of my head while in my recliner. I'm going to miss them.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
seems like these days everyday another senseless tragedy occurs. This one hit close to home: 21Dog and I talked about this guy some time back. William Wright... he coached my oldest grandson in HS, (asst. coach)... then helped my grandson get into Reedley JC then onto Western Colorado U. He took a liking to Kerman and while he moved on in coaching he was close to our HS programs and knew maby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
It's not gone... but today a RB better be all time great to get any notice at all. Didn't used to be that way... even when passing had taken over RB's were very nearly as highly regarded as QB's. I guess it's the 'position' that has not fallen 'out of favor' but the role is seen as quite diminished. The NFL has done everything possible to help QB's and Receivers... and continue to do so.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
The guy moving to Texas, and thus causing the band breakup, got bad news from the contractor building his new home in Texas - it will be delayed. So rather than us ending this fall we now will at least be available until July 2023. I just found out about this, and I'm not excited about it. :laughing I had moved on, mentally... and was actually looking forward to reviving an older bandby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
about Lead Singers that is. In all the years I played we didn't have to search for a lead singer often, maybe 3 or 4 times, but when we did my experience with lead singers miimic's your experience. They are not normal. :laughing If I had to choose one word to define them it would be 'demanding'. Being 'demanding' didn't fly well with us so the few lead singers we brought in didn't last loby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I played with them, (not as a member), a few times and only jam sessions. They were friends with some of the members of "The Roadrunners" some of whom I knew pretty well. Roadrunners had a couple hits as well but never really made it. Unfortunately I don't remember much about it. :laughing Seems we met to jam in the town of Hanford? Maybe Visalia? I can't even remember that. Iby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
Well, I deleted this entire message because apparently it's not a 7 on 7 today... and actually I don't know what it is. Yes it's De Le Salle... but a game? Not sure.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
that most here will think I'm talking out of my ass... bit I'm not... it's true... people in Kerman, Ca. (many of them), commute to the Bay area for work. I can't wrap my mind around that.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
That surprised you, no? :laughing You seem to have a lot of well known and very good musicians in and around your area! Same here... but not nearly as many today as 'back in the day'.. meaning 70's and 80's. and probably in the 60's. I like to tell my grandkids stories about playing with, (mostly in practices), some groups that made it. The Association.. yeah, you'll have to look themby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I simply don't get it. BUT... I understand things are weird and different today. What I'm NOT doing is saying people who do these long commutes are 'dumb'... I get it that today it's necessary. I'm just saying WOW.. this is progress?by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
you were completely out of your mind. No offense. I need to work on this but I believe the evidence is quite clear than you ocean going sea people are an extraordinary level of stupid. I would have said 'ignorant' but in this case I think 'stupid' apples. There are things in the ocean that don't want YOU in there with them. - JamesJMby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I did know that. Probably wouldn't have 'occurred' to me but yes... I know him. Not long ago, very recently? I asked of you about Tulare and their contribution to truly notable Tulare Athletes, (well, that area), this is exactly what I was referring too. I think Tulare has MORE than contributed in sports. Whereas with Kerman, let alone Tranquillity, we're awaiting our first. :laughinby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
you are NOT normal. :laughing For me - - - there is nothing on land that I wouldn't rather face than something in the sea. I can move on land... which certainly wouldn't be enough but it's something... in the ocean? I can't do a blessed thing. I point this this out to simply let you know, as a friend, that you're out of your frikken' mind. :laughingby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
it's been what? Minutes? Since I posted that my band retires this year at my nieces wedding/ Well, things change. The reason we're ending is because our Lead Guitar player is moving to Texas... BUT.. originally timed to move late this year NOW it's been rescheduled for summer of 2023. This is breaking news. I found out yesterday. So NOW... our last gig probably will NOT be my nieces weby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
as 'gravy'.... very, Very, VERY good gravy.... but I think we can repeat without him. Which brings up... should OBJ be signed, (and I think he will be), managing that plethora of talent is daunting. I'm not sure how you do it, to be honest.by JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
But not only do I love that guy - - I also 'intuit' that I'd have loved the guy had I met him.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
and I'm sure you know this... he was adopted by the entire central valley as a "home Town Hero"... BUT... with due respect to Tulare. A lot like Josh Allen today... although, not sure Josh's esteem stretches to Tulare? I think it probably does but I'm just not sure. Probably must since he played in Reedley? I was BIG into Track while in HS, Greg. Bob was as big a sports hero as iby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
Holding the 1948 London Olympic Torch. When England hosted the Olympics in 2012 they brought this 'original' torch out and toured the country with it as a prelude to the 2012 games.... I just happened to be in England at the time and also just happened to be in a small town where it was taken and displayed. IMHO... this was one of the most cool things that ever happened to me. - JamesJMby JamesJM - RamsFootballFans.com
I am quite literally dumbfounded by how far some commute to work. There is, make that WAS, a small farming community about an hour from me that somewhat recently became a mecca for those working in the Bay area, (around San Francisco).... no one can afford housing there anymore... at least no one who isn't a tech billionaire. SO... they commute... how far you ask? Well, no, you didn't... bby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I remember it was a lot "LESS" than I would have thought - BUT... it's one of those things you have to experience. I can say this.. uphill they can go faster than you or I. :laughing In a flat sprint no, BUT... factor in the shock of having a slinky snake coming after your ass and chances are you're about to be bitten.by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
It began with a breakdown this morning. No need to go into it... it's was an expensive breakdown. That was followed by another breakdown, then a letdown, then bad news, more bad news, and yet more bad news. Again... no need to list it all. Point is: It's one of those days. I know bad things don't really come in groups BUT... they do. Grown wise in my old age and I know this to be true...by JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
I come across them on my ranch every so often... not common to see them however. The are AMAZING: Not on my ranch but rather a hunting ranch in the Coast Range of Calif. we used to lease I was traveling up a ridge one afternoon when suddenly I mostly 'heard' but did get a glimpse of something moving through the wild oats on the hillside. It got my attention because while at first I couldn'tby JamesJM - Bucky's Pub
