The consciousness going around sure needs to shut up and take a breath, but I'm just a dumb kid from Jersey, whaddafuck do I know? I feel like I should be selling doomsday timeshares. "You ain't gonna need that money anyway." will be my sales pitch.

peace and the power of NOW be with you, Roff!

I'll put you down for the high season condo. :)

🤣 time to shake y'allz booties...

...oh yeah!

Two weeks, lovely bunker, and world class rations included.

Bunker buster Bike R!

Hi everyone. Hi Rob. I saw some Geese on the river. The water when liquid cannot go below 32 degrees.

Hi Lester!

Hi Readie. As the late Ted Berrigan would say, Nice to see you.

Welcome on in, Lester!

This cold weather is unlike I have ever seen. And I have been here for a while. Need to fill up the propane tanks. February made me shiver. Tru

16 degrees wind chill here in Princeton!

I worry about the critters. Bird feeder filled last night. All the starry cats are on the warming pad. lol Stray.

Cross quarter day. Cross quarter. I think 'they' do something on the full moon. I hope not.

Groundhog day

Checking in tomsay

Checking in to say Hey! Slightly less chaotic Thursday than last week, and very slightly warmer. Thanks for warming up the day with some great music!

Hi Jeffry! My pleasure- thanks for stoppin' by! Glad it's warming up in Green Bay - sadly I think it's down to 2 degrees tonight here!!

☮️💟2 cousin Jeffry and love to all the righteous 🙏🏼

Early Inner Circle with Cat Coore...

Tonight’s the first night it’s going to stay above 0 in over a week! 😂😂

@Jimbotzu - Hope all is well!

Wow, Jeffry- I can't remember single digits here in quite a while!

Music sounds good & the sun is shining

Early lo-fi reggae!

Hey Amy Lee! glad to see you here! YAY SUN!

Pretty cool Readie. Love the vibe

At it’s worse late last week/last weekend it was -23 at night. Stayed awake a good chunk of the night listening to make sure the furnace was running. Hopefully, we’re done with this cold for the winter!

Glad you're liking it, Lester!

ARE YOU IN GRRRRR land? Jeff?

Jeffry- amazing! We have it good here - hasn't gotten to that depths here ... yet1!!

Hi Readie, swooping in during the final minutes.

Serious cold wave. I have responsibilty for froxen pipes/ Penolope is counting on me. Keep the flow.

Hey Rob! great to see you! Thanks for swooping in!!🕊🕊🕊

The great frozen tundra of Green Bay, Wi.!

@Langran. I had a friend who worked for an insurance company there. All employees were required to have a four wheel drive vehicle.

extended mix on Recherché today...

@Lester -- I just found out about a year or so back that not all trucks are 4wheel drive. Nutty.

A lot of heavy equipment driving around here today. I do not salt my walk. Dog paws.

But they Do have four wheels?

Andy is here- transition is soon...Thanks y'all for being here!!!

As a logical expression. found out- not all- trucks- Are 4 wheel. More later

cut it out. Iknow thats you. Esoterica

Bye y'all

LOVE!

WOW! My Bloody Valentine cover.

nice set Readie, thx!

and appreciate the ICE advice!

The most important hour of the day.

Great set going on new DJ but might add that your voice is barely audible on the stream during breaks.

WEEN!!! It will come in threes my friend... the flutes of the chi...
