Beautiful end of the day on the back porch tonight. Finally cooled off. No TV on. Just listening to the late summer cicadas hum & enjoying a glass with my wife. Cheers🍷! @cmaulsby@mutchman1
I think we should let England or France drop the last bomb on the mullahs, it would be like one of those heartwarming videos of the mentally challenged kid getting to take a shot in his last high school game
Bobby Weir, just 17 years old when he co-founded the Warlocks, was one of the very few people who was at every single Grateful Dead show. Joining up with Jerry and Pigpen in 1964, and soon after Billy and Phil, with Mickey soon to follow, the Grateful Dead were defined by each of the unique musicians and voices these guys brought to the stage. And Bobby was as unique as they come.
A guitar player unlike any other, and a songwriter who created some of the most interesting, exciting, and oddly-timed songs in rock history, Bobby was also the unabashed rock star in the Grateful Dead. His list of contributions to the Grateful Dead repertoire is way too long to list, but songs like Sugar Magnolia, Truckin', Jack Straw, Cassidy, Looks Like Rain, Playing In The Band, Weather Report Suite, The Music Never Stopped, Estimated Prophet, Feel Like A Stranger, Hell In A Bucket, and Throwing Stones are just the tip of iceberg of his songwriting magnificence.
When Bobby had a spare moment both during the Dead's 30 year performing career and after, he was always working on exciting, different projects like Kingfish, Bobby & The Midnites, Weir & Wasserman, RatDog, The Other Ones, The Dead, Furthur, Dead & Company, Wolf Bros, symphonic collaborations, recordings, performing. He never sat still, and was always moving forward, an inspiration to us all.
Watching Bobby do anything was always a joy, as he embraced life around him. First and foremost, his family gave him immense happiness. Being on stage and performing for us all showed us a man who loved to bring smiles to our faces. He didn't do anything halfway, always giving it his all.
For 60 years, Bobby has been a huge part of the soundtrack to our lives. His kindness, generosity, and musical contributions have made our world a better place. — David Lemieux

I have posted about @nottolideli before. I will drive 20 minutes each way passing 3 other Italian delis along the way to Elmwood Park Chicago. Best Italian sausage I have had. Subs are fantastic and not expensive. The staff is awesome. Check it out if you are in the Chicago area.

Everyone I've talked to about it say the #Brewers alumni home run derby Friday was one of the club's best events ever. So, to all those involved, take a bow.
My local butcher had bison brats. Never tried them. Tonight I did, and it won’t be the last. Medium heat on the Blackstone with some peppers & onions. Snap on the outside with soft supple meat on the inside. Another nice summer night out back. @mutchman1
