Relatively meek for us, but just seeing Johnny Holm on St Pat's Day at the former Toby Keith's was insane. IIRC, TK's held about 800, and First Ave holds about 1000. DKM, in Boston, on St Pat's? Holy hell.

His daughter does a lot of the singing now. He is pretty much just on stage for presence.

Seen him three times in the last six months. He still does a good majority of the singing. Jordan does sing a lot, but Johnny still is the main singer.

Had the final electrical inspection. The inspector was beyond amazed of our job. He said both our remodel and electrical was better than his at his own house.

Little late on this but the chance to have dinner with @superstar and her husband (plus two of their good friends) in Honolulu was wonderful!

Mr "cowboy" guy is lucky that the calf is not full grown or he would have been picking up his chiclets.

Growing up on a dairy farm, the answer is yes. Bulls are mean as satan. I've also been kicked many times while trying to milk the cows. Getting hit by the cows tail didn't feel good either. Luckily the days of milking cows are well behind me. Geese and turkeys can get feisty as well.

Been kicked many times by cattle while trying to doctor sick ones.  Lucky I never had a broken leg.

My dad always said that geese were some of the best guard dogs on the farm when he was growing up.  Of course nothing emasculates a man more than when a banty rooster rushes you and you run away.

My grandmother had French geese, those huge gray ones with the enormous beak.  We HATED them as kids, they’d chase us flapping their 6 foot wingspan, nipping the back of our legs, honking loudly. Every year at Christmas we had roast goose and we’d all cheer…one down! 
And yes I’ve had a horse bite me, been run over by a pig (that was just embarrassing) and stepped on by a Belgian horse, they’re like Clydesdales.  In spite of all that, my favorite memories are from the farm.

I carried a broom when I had to go to the barn to do chores as a kid.  We had one rooster that would appear out of the woods like magic every time I walked down there and attack your legs with his spurs. 
Although it only took one summer of free range life before they were banished to a pen.  Chickens are little garbage cans.  They ate the dog’s food out of her bucket on the porch, ate my mom’s flowers, and ate that pink insulation that came in sheets you put around the foundation when were fixing up the old farmhouse.  The flower destruction was the last straw for my mom. ?

All of this proves once again I was destined to be suburban / urban.  

I would last about 12 seconds on a farm.

My material grandparents had a farm for a bit. They had just a few of the most common farm animals roaming around, but is was mostly horses. My grandfather loved them. He was a Zuhrah Shrine Horseman in parades. He doted the most on the two he rode most often, an Arabian and an Andalusian. Gorgeous things.

The most incredible though was the Friesian. Amazing, majestic animal. Really looked like he should be wearing armor. He was the one that kept your head on a swivel at all times, though. He enjoyed steamrolling people that weren’t paying attention, and evidently walked somewhere he didn’t approve. He once chased my sister two miles while she was riding one of the ponies after she wandered a little too close.

HOF meme overall, and it is a tremendous movie, to boot. 
Also recommend "Blind Spot: Hitler's Secretary" which is basically one long interview with Traudl Junge, and provides much of the basis for "Downfall."

@greyeagle 

There's a nest across Cedar Ave and from our house and one outside of Randolph near my in-laws. It's so cool to drive past as see the male or female eagle and in season the eaglets perched on the nest. The interesting question, what interesting items you might find inside the nest.

Btw... the most fascinating part of it. How the eagle or eagles built their nest.

We have one in the shallow, back area of our lake place that is HUGE, it literally looks like an eagle McMansion.  We have great views of it until the leaves come in and it's fun to watch them in the nest.  Directly across the bay from the eagle's nest is an osprey nest so we get to watch both birds fish all summer.  the differences amazing, eagles circle and come in low and fast, they are very elegant as they pluck a fish out of the lake.  Meanwhile the osprey's come in all over the place and in what looks like a flat spin as they hit the water and pull something out.

There was another nest in the same area that came down when the tree fell (old and caused by wind), per some neighbors in that area there were several collars and leashes.  My nephews ex-wife had an annoying little Taco Bell dog that she had not control over and I didn't care for her, either.  I may have been cheering for the eagle every time that annoying, mean, dog was near the water..... ?

It's interesting how similar ospreys and eagles are. You have to be somewhat observant at times to identify them.  Ospreys and defiantly smaller in size and wing span. Though from a distance they can confuse you.

Yeah, he can definitely play. Talented musician. Pretty hard not to be with that kind of musical upbringing.

I do think he wastes too much energy responding to social media trolls though. Life is too short to waste energy on it.

He hated the Gophers but not in the douchey, sports is my life and all that matters to me, sort of way way a lot of other fans do.  And he didn't become a mega dbag after they finally got good.

I mentioned last Saturday in ‘Things That Stick In Your Craw’ of a guy I worked with at the apt complex passing away. Though his boss, another guy I know, has a heart of gold. Pretty much all his employees were ex-cons or guys who have had trouble passes. He always gives guys a second chance to better their lives. And I know of a couple of them who have been very successful from it.
