Hi Glitzman--Not much has changed here. Just more trips to Stanford Hospital and Clinics for mental health and brain health issues (epilepsy). My Steve will meet with the Cyberknife doctor for the exacto beam radiation to neutralize the displaysia (seizures come from this lesion).
My life as a "tennis ball" has begun--need a new psychiatrist for medication maintenance and will be seeing current psychiatrist until he sends my records to another psychiatrist at Stanford. Will see a marriage counselor to find out how to pull our marriage together.
Need to listen to more Satriani, Vai, Morse, Timmons, Petrucci, Gilbert, Jeff Beck, and Alan McKenna......music soothes the jagged edges of my brain!
WHO UNCAPPED THE CAPPY STEVE? Please put the cap back where you found it! ;-/ ;-) ;-D

Anyone up for Mexican beer?? Got Sol and XX lager, first come first drunk! Got one with Scuba's name on it!
Mahavishnu: Cool pic, I hear lots of good things about Johnny but I'd be surprised if he ever comes remotely close to here. BTW your second link asks for a password.
Austin: So you have all the seasons but have not watched them? I have all but have yet to see 9, and between 8 and 11 I've seen some discs but not all. There's just not enough time! Thx for the FB reply BTW
Pip55: It's feeling a lot better now, in fact I might play tomorrow, although not as goalie, I just came back from running 2 miles and I feel no pain, so we'll see.
Skippygirl: So that's where u get your nick from? Looks like an intriguing series, who's the evil enemy, a koala?? :)
Wait a minute Scuba, I have now been informed that u let one get away...shame shame shame. No beer for u this time :D

Punkdude: Thx for the info, u do get a very thick tone out of that setup, I will be in the market soon for some pedals and will definitely test drive that one.
GlitzMan: Sorry to hear about your friend, and don't get discouraged on the work stuff, better things always lie ahead when you're patient. Go for the marathon dude, u know u want to!!!
A date has been set for our workplace 2K run, October 3rd, I'm targeting under 7:30 minutes, the closer I can get to 7 the better. Right now I'm at 10:10, so let's see how I shave 3 minutes out of it in a month!

Can anyone recommend a good Al di Meola album?
Skippygirl - it'll all come together, just keep practicing, it's the only way. BTW, that means you're only learning one word a year lol. Don't you owe me an email : )
I sigh when I watch Joe & it looks way too easy!
Do you mean Muse's Super Massive Black Hole ?
Bluebuffalo - sorry, I can't see Joe doing crowd chant as they've sworn they won't be playing stuff like that yet (possible for the 2nd album tour?). But cool if you do get it! Have fun at the show, would love to be there
Punkdude75 - nice, really nice tone too. What wah are you using? The ME-5 was part of Nuno Bettencourts rig for years... no idea if he still uses it. I must get mine fixed.....
Scubadaz - poked her face? I admitted somewhere else the other day that I do like the song paparazzi... right up until the point where I found out who was singing it! ha ha How's things? You managed to get on top of those headaches?
Axeshredder - seriously, just an H2? No way, that's amazing! So you just replaced the camera audio with the zooms recording instead? Awesome!!
Glitzman - good to hear from you. Unfortunately a lot of people can be like that. At least the positive is you know not to trust him any further now. Sorry for your loss
elpp - good news! Fingers crossed then & good luck
All quiet on the ChickenAC girls front..... must be having a good pre gig time!

Elpp - It's a long time since I did any serious running but have you thought about your breathing. I used to find that breathing management took up a lot of concentration but with persistence I got a much improved performance. (Works for other erm exercises too!)

Many of you will know that Koreans are partial to the occasional roast dog, Chinese have been known to eat rats, but the best yet was what I saw on an Indian restaurant menu! I quote "Aborigine, cooked in a clay oven". Allegedly it is meant to be Aubergine. Talking of Aborigine's, why are there none on Tasmania? Prolly cause Ponting's such a miserable grumpy twat they've all pissed off to the mainland.

Pip55: "A Night in San Francisco" with Aldi Meola, Paco de Lucia and Vicente d' Amigo is probably one of the best live (acoustic) guitar albuns ever.

Enjoying Robin Trower's new album at the mo, it's called 'What Lies Beneath'. Very bluesy and tasteful.

Hi everyone, U2 gig at Hampden Park in Glasgow was something else, the show definately lived up to the hype. Sometimes i think artists put on spectacular shows to make up for flaws in the music, not the case here. A great mix of old and new kept the 60,000 crowd well entertained, although i'd have liked Out of Control, The Electric Co. Gloria and I Will Follow thrown into the set, but you cant have everything. If this show is coming to a place near you soon, make the best effort you can to go, you wont regret it. Won tickets to another 2 gigs on Rock Radio this week, i'm on a roll. GG2- i know things are going to start looking up for you again soon, everyone here's good thoughts are with you, and i'll say a wee prayer for your well being.

Be good (okay, maybe not "good" per say) and don't start any fires - at least until I get back! Save me some beer too!
Austin, if you get any drunkin's tweets or texts from my phone...it wasn't me. LOL!

Pip - Al DiMeola, John Mclaughlin & Paco De Lucia Friday Night In San Francisco
awesomeness at it's best.
Babbling Baboon - I believe I have found a wooden twangy thing to jig up. We might even manage to get the thing to work by the time we finish with it.

Pip55: Elegant Gypsy is very good. Kind of THE classic DiMeola album. The Guitar Trio is also amazing (but totally acoustic, it's the follow-up to Friday Night in San Francisco
Cappy Steve: Actually I posed that question to GlitzMan some time back and he gave me his tips, I've been following them and I do notice an improvement. It's just that I spent a lot of time not running and now I'm returning to it, so it'll take me time to get everything back in order. Like yesterday the lungs felt good but the legs felt weak, whereas in the past it was the other way around. So we'll see, I'm confident that as soon as my legs get strong again I will be posting faster times.
Skippygirl: Jajaja! I was just being a smartass about the koala! So what do I win for guessing correctly?? :D
Scuba: The surveillance video is blocked by my firewall at work, so I'll have to wait to restore your beer privileges. You can have root beer in the meantime!

Woohoo...I have internet in my apartment again!
axeshredderjc - I do read direct messages, but with my internet problems I've been slow to respond. I saw what it was though, so thank you. I'll reply soon...
Peace Lily - So what'd you think of Echo? Good song, yeah?
elpp - Yes, I have all the seasons...and all of the ones starting with 6 are the limited edition head boxes. So it's a nice collection, but that's all it is until I get a ton of free time. ;-)
Personally, I think the commentary tracks on every single episode is a bit much. I hope they've gotten better over the years, but on some of the earlier box sets commentaries are almost just laugh tracks to the episodes.
I like how the X-Files did it with each set. There would be a commentary track for the most interesting episode or two from the season (though I could do with a few more), and then the special features included a documentary where the cast and crew talked about each episode for a few minutes.
That way, you get your "How'd they do that?" answer for all the cool things in the season, even in the episodes that aren't worth a whole commentary track (and you aren't stuck with boring chatter, or a narration-as-commentary track for a less interesting episode).
Pip55 - I'll add another vote for Friday Night In San Francisco.
Wooleyman - Yeah, it is awesome. What are your favorite songs on it? I haven't given EOC a proper listen in a while...I think it's time!
campbell - Thanks for the U2 comments. I think I'm going to regret not seeing them on this tour...maybe I'll try to find a ticket to their Pasadena gig after all.
...Austin...
