I will always cherish the 79 of them that I have received from you over the years. :)
I checked my spreadsheet. You have received exactly 2 "love" emojis from me. Both of them were for pics of your sons.

The level of respect that I have for that kind of record keeping is unparalleled. ...enough so that Ill admit that I believe that is correct.

I'll take two though, for any reason. Especially that one!

Did you listen to The Lone Ranger opening and hear The Lone Ranger say, "Hi Ooo, Silver, awaaay"?

I watched reruns of that, when I was a kid, with my dad. On Sunday mornings, in Chicago, WGN would play The Cisco Kid at 10:00 followed by The Lone Ranger at 10:30. We hardly ever missed them.

Great stuff. My Dad was a Gene Autry guy and we listened to him and Roy Acuff growing up. Then I discovered Metallica and Led Zepplin, and it was over at that point.

My dad, too, was a big Gene Autry fan from all the Western movies he'd pay 10 cents to watch at the theatre. However, he'd usually pay 25 cents to watch the double matinee. This was in the 40's. Westerns were my dad's favorite.

What's not to love there? I mean, westerns didn't start in the forties, but that's where they met their first prime in my opinion.

But then came Clint Eastwood and my personal favorites, Lee Van Cleef, and Lee Marvin in the 60s and 70s.

Goodnight smorgasbord. I'll close out with a cool and colorful pic from my wife's tank.

Rise and shine! Hello, morning crew.

Wait I’m part of the morning crew? Maybe I’m part of the late night crew in another country. Time zones are weird
