Yes and if you cant wait, there is a survival series on Netflix called "Outlast" that is really good. It's a million dollar prize but you have to finish as part of a team. You can switch teams or do anything else you want. The back stabbing on there is unbelievable. Id recommed season 1. Season 3 starts 6/10
Didn't know about this show, i tried to to get on the Alone show, did not get picked. I don't care about the shows that require you to pull politics with other players.

Good post Tom

Love the old horror. Here was what I grew up on. Morgus the magnificent! He was a local musician and artist from New Orleans that broadcast in my area. I think it ran from the early 60s to the late 80s or early 90s. He would host a vintage B horror film.


Pure entertainment growing up. I still love that stuff.

This reminds me of a late night show we had when I was in my teens.



There isn't much I can find recorded but that was Ernie Anderson as Ghoulardi, before he went to LA. He hosted B-movie Sci-Fis in Cleveland, I think it was Friday nights but I don't remember for sure. It's been a couple of years.

You nailed the comparison there! Love this old stuff. I want the Ghoulardi box!

Do you remember this Tom? When the weather was good our tv could pick up this station and they would play B horror on sci-fi movies!

weeds are killing me in mine, it can be beneficial as far as shading the soil, give or take
And when you realize for the first time how long the seeds live. I hate that their seeds live over 50 years. When you till, dig or replant you pull those seeds to the surface. And wallah! New weeds sprout.
its yummy, salt to desired

It look's even better cooked.

I am planning on making a strawberry rhubarb pie. We gave lots of it away today.

Anyone have a great recipe for rhubarb strawberry jam. Heavy on the rhubarb?

A few different places around the Boston area. My favorite was in a converted sailor's home on Pickering Wharf in Salem, MA.
I lived in Connecticut and have been in Boston a few times and Cape COD a few times. I have 2 brothers, stepmother and my sister and her family in Connecticut still. We get out there every couple years, more when my dad was alive.
