Hi there.. Yep I'm still here, sorry I've been away... Trying to repair some stuff around my house...Still a tad weak from the aromatase therapy, (different form of chemo), so do what I can, but then I'm whupped and chillin.. A friend of mine came up from cali..to do some stuff for me last week, he worked on my swamp cooler, it worked great for a couple days, then didn't need it, as it wasn't really hot enough to need it, I went to turn it on today, and it's not working, I'm thinking the bearing or motor.. pump seems to work ok..wishing I wasn't afraid of heights, or maybe it's the possible falling off of my roof, otherwise I could go up and fix it myself.. also, living alone, it's not wise for me to be up a ladder or on the roof.. so using my lil portable evap cooler... Home ownership is Never a dull moment.. Hope you have been well!

Nice!! I'd love to start a garden, but 1) I kinda have a brown thumb.. and 2) Probably couldn't keep my pup out of it...that and I'd also have to build above ground planter boxes as my yard is all rocks sand n weeds currently, cut down though they are, would be a b***h to dig..

1) I think it has to do with chicken deaths in how they are raised etc.. 2) Some folks say it has to do with that while he is an excellent guitarist, he has some stage fright, and the bucket & mask , kinda keeps him sorta anonymous. There is a lot of conjecture on this, but the above were the ones that made sense!

I’d pick #2. #1 makes no sense. I guess thats why he wears the mask too.

He sure is talented. Not that I know much about playing guitars.

I only meant that there are quite a few folks out there that have a Major issue with how chickens are raised and k**led.. I'm not one of them, but it would seem that a lot of folks do.

Like you though, I'm more prone to #2 as well.

I once saw PETA protesting outside a KFC and made it a point to tell them thats why I was buying KFC that day.

I’d be terrified to stand up in front of a bunch of people. The mask is easy to understand.

My neighbor said it took him about 20 years to get his ground right.

Peach tree has a fungal infection as do the fruitless plums so I'm spraying as soon as the breeze dies down.

Pears need spraying for bugs too.

T***splanted cactus this AM to a planter outside.

It gives him a reason to use the name Buckethead?

It's just a stage persona...although I can tell you he's a very shy person with Asperger's.

He's been around for many years too.

Ozzy Osbourne wanted him to join his band but told him he'd have to lose the bucket.

He didn't, obviously.

Both of his parents died in 2015, I believe, and he was devastated!

He's written some beautiful odes to his parents.

Yes he has indeed, "I love my parents" "Watching the boats with my dad"... I Love his stuff.. some of it is a lil harder but I actually still have not heard a tune with vocals, which honestly, I prefer.. I Love instrumentals!!.. "underneath the artic" great stuff!!!.. although I have to admit I didn't know of this man until you turned me on to him..!
