Off to the races at the Bar at Supperland for a Kentucky Derby Party!! We watched the most exciting two minutes in sports together. Their team was slingin’ all the Mint Juleps and passing around light bites for guests. Everyone looked great in their Derby best! Of course – Hats off to Maker’s Mark for all boozy aspects!

I always say this is the last time I will rebuild my paddleboard. However, this time I got it pretty darn close to sitting on my needs. Everything is neatly loaded on a PedalTrain Pro Pedalboard With Touring Case. I had been looking at loopers and pedal switchers, but the more I delved in, the Earthquaker Devices -Swiss Things was a better suit for me. After quiring one I had to map out my signal

Covid had just started and I was basically out of work. The World had shut down. I received a cold call about doing photography work. They mentioned foster care and it sparked my interest.
