GentleMan GefI guess I dipped heavily in the Christmas section of the collection
One can never go wrong when Bing is involved
As Bing started signing Gloria, it was “Gloria in excelsis Deo" not GLOOORIA
Now Bing has me craving for some Figgy Pudding
Next up is Gershwin Plays The Rolls
I think it’s him playing real keys to some of his earlier works that were on paper player piano rolls
He replays them for a period recording
At one point I thought he was really jamming with a recursive loop and call back
It was just the CD skipping for a few bars that was just timed well #CampingWithJeff
#Gershwin
The Gershwin disc was fun
I think these songs were composed in the 1920s and were hits with paper rolls for player pianos and sheet music
That’s where the money was before affordable home playing of recorded music
Some great changes of meter and chords that I recognize from contemporary jazz and modern Prog Rock
So many notes and only two hands!
Me and Mick are about to light this empty trailer park on fire
My 5 watt boombox with 4 inch speakers is UP
If the RV is rock’n don’t bother knock’n because I’m just boot scoot’n and the door is wide open
The Clash meets early 21st century techno makes me happy
Who’s up for more B.A.D after midnight?
This guy
At least for a while
Left Crab Paradise about 1 this afternoon and got to Salem by 4, just before dark
I’ll be staying in the camper through Christmas at least
#JazzWithoutBoundaries is getting really funky tonight
Pot pie is almost lava
First timer for 32 minutes at 400 just went off
Going a few more minutes
Been hard to keep the temp accurate
It’s 51f with rain showers
I like having the door open when possible, especially when I’m smoking
Having the oven on for about an hour was bonus heat
I have a small AC space heater running
That usually keeps it about 60 inside
Gas furnace is available for cold nights or at least getting dressed and making coffee in the morning
Just closed the door at 9pm and turned on the furnace
At 9:17 it is 70f and warm enough to put my jammies on
I leave the electric heater running but I also have a canine foot warmer
Just poked around my new Apple TV app with my first iPhone
Since data availability has been an impedance to video streaming
No TV for two weeks now
Past me downloaded all of #StarTrekTOS and at least one episode of #FireFly
Will have to up my download game once the internet tubes are bigger
S1E1 now on my phone screen!
TVs back on the menu boys!
This home smoked cheddar and dilly beans from last summer plus crackers were part of a holiday gift basket from friends
Woke up at midnight hungry for this and was very disappointed when I couldn’t find the tin of sardines I thought I had in the cupboard
Alas, no fishes with my nosh
One thing I miss about living in a house instead of the camper for extended periods of time is a comfortable chair
Not even a big recliner, a plush armchair with a footstool would be fine
I only have the benches for the dinette table
I can get pretty comfortable with extra pillows, but just not the same for extended periods of lounging
Finally have trousers and shoes on by 11:15
Didn’t bother to until after noon yesterday
I haven’t bought any media from Apple since I got my iPhone
I did buy some on iTunes years ago when I had an iPod Nano
I now have some shows stored on my phone for viewing when no streaming is available
Shitters full
Outhouse is a couple hundred meters away
Managed to drop a load there during a lull in the rain about 5am
Too rainy to even step outside to pee on the ground so I just open the door and piss into the wind
There is a dump on site, waiting for a break in the storm before I drive over to it
Last night’s storm had winds 20+ with gusts in the 40mph range
Camper was really bouncing around
Got an extra doggie visitor in the camper
My dog Bingo is sleeping in the background and Damu woke up when I tried to snap a picture
My no signal TV watching from downloaded content is getting #Shiny
I had all of Firefly plus Serenity available to load up
Man! That first episode of #FireFly is an action packed adventure extravaganza!
So past me bought the first 20 episodes of Game Of Thrones for my iPod
Now that I have an iPhone I downloaded them for offline viewing
Haven’t rewatched it since it ended
Baby Arya looks so innocent!
That Bran sure is a good climber!
That Joffry seems like a nice boy
I used the rice cooker for the first time this trip
I sautéed some onion and a large tin of chicken with teriyaki sauce for dinner
Left the leftovers in the pot overnight and added a can of black beans and some more garlic and hot sauce for breakfast
The regular cook cycle warmed it up just right!
I’m now watching Jonny Quest on my no signal downloaded TV content on my iPhone adventure
It sure is loaded with Imperial Colonial racism
At least they made Hadji “one of the good ones”
The futuristic tech from the 1960s is still fun though
Just finished season one of Game Of Thrones on my no signal downloaded iPhone content
THERE BE DRAGONS!
Edit: I’m a bit disappointed. When I first saw the list of stuff I bought on iTunes back in 2012 for my iPod I saw 20 episodes.
Alas, only the 10 episodes of season one and 10 bonus content clips.
They were actually pretty interesting!
Just started #Fringe on my no signal downloaded iPhone content
Just bought a new deep cycle battery for the camper
I was going to anyway because it didn’t last long enough, but this morning we heard a LOUD pop while plugged into AC power
We checked the battery and the plastic cover had popped off due to pressure
Disconnected it immediately and went to the store
All systems within normal operating parameters
New media option for the camper. It has a telescoping crank up antenna mast with digital antenna
Found a new 32inch tv for $79 US
On setup it scanned 17 channels
I Stopped when it hit METV TOONS!
I haven’t watched OTA TV since the 80s!
A few of the channels are a bit too glitchy to watch and some are God or shopping, but there are a few good ones
Starting off the morning with METV: Dragnet then Adam 12. Sure hope Emergency! Is next!
Watching OTA commercials makes me miss the relatively shorter ad breaks on free streamers like FREEVEE or TUBI
I’m 62 and all the adds are targeted to people older than me!
Saw one for TV Guide magazine last night.
MobBarley@SecularJeffrey in the wee hours of the night, you used to be able to catch McHale's Navy and Phil Silvers (show about Sgt Bilko and his little scams)
