I highly recommend this release:

Got the Blu-ray and CD set in the mail yesterday. Watched half the Blu-ray this morning. Looks and sounds darned good.

I've looked at pictures and had a report from a friend who also has a Harley Dyna Glide and it seems to me and was reported to me there are lots of plastic bits, more so than mine. And certainly more so than the Indians from the last ten years (which are amazing machines, I got to ride one briefly a few months ago at the Harley dealer here, someone bought one of the last ones before Polaris took over at a great price and was letting a few of us go around the block, he was in a great mood. My Fat Bob has been such an amazing bike, I'll probably keep IT a half a dozen more years. I've really bonded to it in a way I only ever did before to my '74 BMW R90 and it would take a killer bike to woo me away.

To be frank Kevin, too much plastic. The Harley's have more metal. And. . . not enough dealers. I've seen the other 21st Century Indian bikes and they are amazing quality. That's what I want if I'm going to get another bike, that level of quality and style.

Looked at a lot of the new bikes at the Harley dealer yesterday. They're all emphasizing blue-tooth and electronic gadgetry. It still surprises me that those things would be of interest to a real rider. My Fat Bob has given me five years and ten months of incredible service and enjoyment. A wonderful machine and I have been thinking about whether I would ever replace it. I think I would. . . for one of the Indians that were produced say 2010 to 2013 (not the new ones from Polaris/Victory though those seem to have a great drivetrain). Those Indians I'd consider are amazing machines, carefully built and over-built, great looks, and were too expensive new. Still would like to have one. Maybe one day!

I've been riding motocycles for 35 years. (With a lapse in the middle). I'm careful except when I decide not to be. I've actually been hurt worse in cars, but know how dangerous motorcycling is. I just choose to ride and not be scared. My life has been good and every day is a bonus. I'm being extra careful these days because I'm the main caregiver for parents who are fading.

I confess I really liked the recent 3D version and thought it captured the spirit of the novel quite well. I'm watching the Cleveland Indians vs. the Kansas City Royals only because I love my parents so much.

Well, two years later my Fat Bob is still a treasured possession and I'm loving my riding. Now I'm in Ohio and I won't be doing much riding in the winter for the first time in a long time, I'm going to miss it. Not found a really good dealer here yet though, not one that compares to the wonderful service I had in Austin. Today I went to the closest dealer for the third time and had two tires installed. It was the first time I've needed two new tires so I decided to try another brand than the stock Dunlops on the bike. Consulted last week with the parts manager, decided on Michelin Scorchers, ordered them, paid for them, they came in, I had an appointment for today, told the counter help my tires had come in, waited a few hours, they came out and said "Ooops, the tech put stock tires on there and then noticed you had requested the Michelins you ordered." By this time it was too late for them to put the correct tires on and I had to be back with my parents to make them dinner so I just said "That's okay, even though it is rather lame." Sigh. Think I'll try another dealer in the area.

An awesome guitarist. RIP Jimmy. Thanks for the many hours of great music.

Gabby from Desperate Housewives (Eva Longoria) in "Magic City?" Not the show I watched. . . .

Pre-ordered.

Person of Interest, Season 2, Blu-ray. This show is ultimately light-weight, but I like it. The casting I think makes it.

I haven't found a full list of those reissued in Japan, but Dusty Groove lists nearly six dozen. http://www.dustygroove.com/search.php?x=0&y=0&s=Bethlehem%2FSolid+%28Japan%29 Allen, all I have seen of the Lockjaw disc is that it has both Bagby ad Scott on organ (not together). I should receive that in a few days, I'll post some info here.

Verse is also releasing Bethlehem titles in Japan, and a lot more of them. Those that I have heard sound very nice to me, and they're being sold about the same price here as the US titles.

HP, it's a nice board. I had a personal wrangle with Mike and neither of us was at our best and I have never felt the same way about the entire site since, but that's a natural reaction. There are some very nice people there that I miss connecting with (I'm talking about you paige, you wonderful person, and others) but I frequent too many boards as is and I'm trying to curtail my time online. In many ways I begin to feel the internet in general has NOT been a good thing for the world, and I'm dialing back. I agree organissimo does not need to be compared to any other board.

Many many happy returns!

COOL. Thanks.

No worries, I figured both those characters would survive. Great characters!

You're right Patricia, "Luther" is an excellent show. I have all four episodes of the Third Season on my DVR, just waiting for a time when I can watch all four back to back! Loved the first two seasons.

many many happy returns!

Yes, I have been watching this with my Dad slowly, it's tough going for him, he's not as jaded to the violent portrayals. Powerful stuff. Grittier than Band of Brothers imo.

No thanks. You were downright antagonistic with me on the board itself and in PMs iirc. I don't want to write for your site. I'm fine about it all now but no desire to write for you. Edited to add: I remember now what set you on the edge against me was that I wrote in a thread where everyone was praising AAJ that I found the forum fine but the rest of the site boring and not worth reading. You took that personally and kept insulting me because of it and ultimately banned me when I was simply saying that there wasn't anything interesting there for me. You lost my respect and ultimately I just drifted away from the forum.

Come on Vol. 17!

Many many happy happy returns.
