    Created by jet maker William Lear, eight tracks tapes recall the 60s and 70s. Back then, an eight track tape player in one’s home and car was essential.Eventually they were replaced by cassettes and other formats for storing music. Nothing quite like tape unwinding and getting all tangled up!!!

    I think that the first LP that I bought was The Beatles “Twist and Shout” followed a while later by “Chicago Transit Authority.”

    MS, this one’s for you.

    Still summery here in Melbourne, with max temps around 30C / high 80sF, but the longer nights help a lot.

    LOL PM, love it. Is it an embroidery pattern?
    Definitely not summery here. We had to dig a heater out of the housebus to keep us warm and I am just reading about hail and ice storms in Wellington.
    Mr MS said he ran into sleet as he headed up into the hills to work this morning and lost the feeling in his hands while working. He was very pleased to return home this evening to a slowcooker full of delicious honey soy chicken with vegetables.

    MS, I stitched this for a NZ-born friend who is a hifi (as opposed to music) enthusiast, very proud of a valve amplifier that spends more time at the repair shop than in use.

    PM, that is an awesome thing you did for your friend.
    Sorry for the long time before my reply, I was watching the Games again. Great synchronised diving action.

    80s rubbish?! That’s cool cat scratcher.


    I want to get stuff done but I pulled my sciatic nerve and can’t bend without pain. *sigh* It’s going to be 80f/26c today and toasty until Friday when it will 48f/8c. Miss Moppet is being a cat. She comes up to me wanting to play but when I get her fave feather toy, she runs across the room and just sits there. When I put her toy down, she comes running over to me.

    Have a happy~

    Good morning – I may have had a few eight track tapes, but cassettes were the next great thing when I was discovering music. The first album I bought with my own money was “A Night at the Opera” by Queen.
    I absolutely love the cat scratcher!
    It’s cold and windy here in Jersey, with occasional flurries. Looks like winter is headed your way, MS. If only we could all neutralize in a spring/fall flux, even if just for most of the time!

    Must share – happened in my n’hood this AM: click link…
    “What is that?” Cat caught on camera chasing coyote in Riverwest neighborhood

    “What is that?” Cat caught on camera chasing coyote in Riverwest neighborhood

    MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) officials on Wednesday, April 11 shared bus video that showed a cat chasing a coyote across the street.

    Riders on Johnel Morris’ bus could not believe their eyes…

    “What is that? Is that a coyote?” one passenger can be heard saying.

    Johnel was passing through the Riverwest neighborhood when a coyote sprinted across Holton Street. It was being chased by a small black cat.
    (Approx 6 blocks from moi – LOL) Hmm…maybe one of my ferals defending it’s NOMZ from Wiley Cayote 😀

    @kittenmaster

    Impossible for me to click on Star Kit “Read More” and to comment on today’s kit.

    Wonder if anyone else has this problem.

    Heck I thought I had posted in today’s cafe, but posted in the National Pet day instead. So confusing not seeing posters, and shortened menu in Topics and Replies. I know I’m missing people asking for help.
