Keep touring Plook

BBP - 16-7-2022 at 09:58

I've noticed that there are no previews shown of downloads anymore. The files are still downloadable, since they're animated best open them in a web browser. If you want to use an image, best use the img tags:

Plook - 16-7-2022 at 20:18

I was wondering about that Bonny, need to work on it...:D


No wrestling last night Kat came down with a cold so she stayed at her worships castle...:(


This morning my good buddy H-dog and his gal E got married I went to represent for Team Plook it was a wonderful setting at his brothers amazing home outside of town, very nice.


Now I need to go get me Lady and make her some soup and tea to help her along the road to recovery...:roll:

Eddie RUKidding - 16-7-2022 at 20:39

Is the soup good enough for the president :lol:

Plook - 17-7-2022 at 01:00

Plook Palace home addition

I bought steps for the pool tricky to find ones that fit and that is not a certainty yet...:shocked:

Plugging along though I need someone to come over to help with the final install in the pool keeping my fingers crossed...:drums:

Plook - 17-7-2022 at 12:34

Completed the Pool Steps project after about 3.5 hours, at one point I realized I needed sand to fill the sides to keep them submerged and had to buy of course a 40 pound bag of sand...lol

Fortunately Kats daughter came swimming and had her fireman husband with her we had to make a lot of modifications for it to fit my pool but we got 'er done.

Headed golfing its the ungodly hour of 4:30 am I get up earlier on the weekend to golf than I do to work during the week for work and I need my beauty sleep...:roll:

BBP - 18-7-2022 at 17:34

Glad to hear the pool's doing well! I could really use one right now :D

Plook - 18-7-2022 at 17:39

Tee'ed off on the Golf Course at the butt crack of dawn had a very good round shot 39/41 for an 80 with 1 birdie, 8 pars, 8 bogeys and 1 double bogey...had 3 putts rim out so the potential for a 70's round was there...:grin:


Kat was still under the weather and headed home around 3 pm so she could get in bed she had to work today, her daughters family came over to swim, then Minnie and I had our lonely chicken dinner...:(

Eddie RUKidding - 18-7-2022 at 21:08

Your better at Gold than me Plook- maybe you should do a round with Alice :duh:

Calvin - 19-7-2022 at 00:29

I've been off of the Zappa forum for 2 or 3 months. I had to change my email address because the old one was spam bombed. When I changed it on the forum I had to wait for it to be activated. MTF and Polydigm both messaged Mikey to activate my account again, and nothing. MTF gave me the address to mail Mikey, and nothing. Maybe it was because he knew that it was going to be shut down. Or not checking his messages. Shrug. I hadn't been really active anyway.

Plook - 19-7-2022 at 01:26

Cal glad to hear from you my friend your answer a question thread delivered the most laughs per pound of anything on the Zappa Forum.

I don't know were Mikey stood on the shut down but he did reply to a couple of questions and one PM from me but then went dark, I never received a reply to two more PM's and to questions on the "Announcement" thread.


The great news is Bonny let use join her here on her little Oasis, I just have to get up to speed on how to fly this thing, I figured out how to write in Blue...lol...but I can't post an image if my life depended on it...lol

BBP - 19-7-2022 at 07:16


Eddie RUKidding - 19-7-2022 at 21:17

Here is a map of Eddie planned tour to Queensland from Cohuna Via Jayco Caravan and Tata Pickup :biggrin:
- leaving in 3 weeks with Mrs Eddie

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Cohuna,+Victoria+3568/Sandst...

Plook - 20-7-2022 at 18:31

I can see Eddie can't load an image either maybe Bonny could put together a step by step on posting images, just thinking out loud...:grin:

Kat is still sick she has had to take two days off so far, she is feeling better but this cold took her down negative for COVID is the good news...:)


Yesterday was the Tuesday from hell very busy and tried to do a final exam from a 32 course training, 60 very hard questions and I kept timing out and it would send me back several questions which was ok since I got an opportunity to get an answer correct that was wrong but when I finished and tried to get my certificate it timed out and sent me back to question 16...:swear:

Such is life...:lol:


P.S. I can't seem to choose from any emoji that isn't already in the window from my reply the others above even if I check the dot next to it will not load and I tried dragging them to the reply window and that wasn't happening any emoji training would be welcomed...:wow:

Plook - 20-7-2022 at 18:33

I see I got an emoji to load up by the date, now I am totally confused...:bouncy:

BBP - 20-7-2022 at 20:12

I just posted an image and it shows up as a cross. It could be a permission thing, let me see...
(if the picture shows up it's not permission)




(there is an emoji training in the Newbies section. If you click More Smilies on the left, they'll all pop up, there's lots :bald:

Eddie RUKidding - 20-7-2022 at 20:31

Good Kat does not have Covid- been lucky in Cohuna as me and Mrs Eddie have not got it yet - going for our 4th jab next week.

What are you studying Plook?

Plook - 22-7-2022 at 18:38

Eddie the test I am trying to finish is the culmination of 32 Training class's (about 20 hours worth) for the company I work for that cover work flow, financial structuring, project role out, data base management, forms, engineering documents, on-line tools, product ordering, material management and a host of mind numbing subject matter. It is easy to see why one would not want to take the 2 to 3 hour test again.


But wait there is more I also had to take another 16 for Safety (about 15 hours worth) for all sorts of possible injury threats fall protection, ladder safety, trench awareness, slip & fall, airborne pathogens, hazardous materials, electrical safety, lockout tagout, radio frequency safety, rigging safety, add nauseum with a 30 hour OSHA class still waiting in the wings to be taken.


But that's not it because as a Quality Assurance/Auditor II ranking I fall into 3 categories the previous class's covered Project Management and Construction Management but I also fall under Implementation Manager therefore I got the pleasure of taking 8 more class's for 5 more hours covering Leadership & Supervising which is what I call the Ra Ra Ra Kumbaya courses for leading through motivation, vision, inspiration, positivity, delegation, prepping your delegate, managing conflict, and my personal favorite emotionally intelligent leadership.


Honestly that last group were the most bearable and had some good stuff in them, they were interactive so by how you answered a question about a situation with various characters in them the training would follow the path created by your specific answer, if you answered differently the course would have different out comes it was very thought provoking.


My brain is bulging...:freak:

Plook - 23-7-2022 at 00:03

Kat made it back to work today she had a rough go of it with that cold, I am sure the ship will remained docked tonight and I will be cooking her some healthy healing food...;)

Sh!t, my company could use someone like you.....
We are Cohuna's best kept secret- no we have not got a basement yet! :P

Good to hear Kat is feeling better
I currently listening to my recently purchased "in Adelaide" copy of Shut Up and play your Guitar (vinyl LP Boxed set) :shy:

Plook - 26-7-2022 at 00:11

Edie your company does some cool shit thanks for the link...:grin:


I have been pre-occupied for the last few days so I will give a little update, Kat showed up Friday night but we did a low key no wrestling thing, I made chicken noddle soup, chicken split breast, and a chicken salad since she was sick but it actually got me a bunch of jokes...lol...:bouncy:


She had to babysit Baby J so she left early but I knew she wasn't feeling well because she didn't even grab a cup of coffee that I made and she is one coffee drinking Gal...Day, night, any time, even before bed...:shocked:


Saturday I broke out the pool rumba my sis sent me ( a very generous gift) I wanted time to read all the documents and take it apart and put it back together before I tried it. It kicks ass, it maps your pool and figures out the cycle time to clean it, it takes about two hours.

I did a bunch of other weekend things then whole crew showed up for swimming and Kat came back we had a blast...I had everyone in training for how to sit on a surfboard and paddle it was actually very funny they had a lot of bloopers...:D


Sunday I went golfing at the crack of dawn shot an 81 which is good but a few careless moves cost me a few strokes. The highlight was on number 14 a par 3 that is well protected by sand traps from the left front past the middle and the right side slopes away so even if you land on the right side of the green the ball tends to funnel off into the rough making for a tough chip shot. So I tend to assault the traps and club up to be sure I carry the sand traps but choke down a little on the club so I don't fly over the green into another set of trouble...well the shot landed on but I juiced it so it rolled all the way to the back of the green and the pin was in the front leaving me about a 70 foot putt, which I sank for birdie the guy tending the flag literally had his jaw drop when it went in...:lol:


When I got home by 10 am with an early lunch from Antonio's and a Starbucks for Kat and I, we just kicked all day and watched some TV she needed the rest and actually so did I...:)

Eddie RUKidding - 26-7-2022 at 04:27

Nice one Plook good to hear -keep on Touring :mad:

polydigm - 26-7-2022 at 12:50

Image posting is exactly the same as at zappa.com. You need an image url, then you place it between BBCODE image tags [img][/img]. Bonny hosts her own pictures and so do I, so it makes it easy, whereas many places on the Internet don't like you bumping their image links.

Plook - 26-7-2022 at 18:11

Good stuff Poly and need my images I am nothing without them, I host all my own stuff on Photobucket, but the other stuff I grab on the internet and 90% of the time there was no issue posting them on the Z Forum...lets give it a go.

And be sure that the "turn BBCode off" box is unticked.

The Daughter Plook the Younger had to fly down to So Cal Terri's dad isn't doing well he is 86 and is battling cancer...:(


Work is on fire this 5G thing cannot be stopped and our company reported they have 6G solved but we will have to wait and see, all I know is we are slammed and they are considering adding more Quality people if they do I hope they bring in someone I get along with because we are a very small group so it's like roommates and if you get one that is out of sync it can cause a host of issues.


Well back to the salt mines have a couple hours to go...:umm:

Eddie RUKidding - 29-7-2022 at 03:41

Oh snap thanks Eddie!

It's on!



Eddie RUKidding - 30-7-2022 at 22:36

Well done Plook :cool:

Plook - 2-8-2022 at 00:40

The weekend went really well Kat is all the way back to her energizer bunny self we set sail Friday and actually stayed up a little later than usual since you baby sits on Saturday (Baby J is cutting in on my action) and I had a list of stuff to do around the grounds of Plook Palace and hit the pool for a few laps...:bouncing:


Kats daughter (TODP) relieved her early so we had a nice dinner and watched a documentary about some horrible police work and it got her ramped up because she hates lying cops because she was married to a good Sheriff (people would request him when they turned themselves in or they would not come in willingly)...:shocked:


We hit the hay early since I had to get up at 4:30 am to go golfing which was excellent, the weather was good but the wind kicked up on the back nine but I was on fire shot 79 with 1 birdie, 10 pars, 6 bogeys and 1 double bogey...I played 10 holes in regulation that is a huge stat...:roll:


I was home by 10 am and brought something to eat and watched some stuff on TV then she went to get her feet done and we kicked it when she got back and had a tour of Italy dinner, she goes home early on Sunday because we both need to be ready for our work week, we are definitely worker bees...:D


Eddie RUKidding - 2-8-2022 at 04:12

I went to a pub on Sunday at Gunbower - a place we usually go (me & Mrs Eddie) to hear a blues band but after we had our meal I encouraged Mrs Eddie to hit the road cause the Lady singer of the band looked like a full on old witch and I did not want to hear what was going to come out of her mouth ............:D Reminder me of a real life Camarillo Brillo type thing :D

Plook - 3-8-2022 at 00:28

OK I had to take a final examine for all that Construction/Project Management training and it was a bear, 60 in-depth questions that took about 2.5 hours to complete after 3 restarts because I had some technical difficulty. I passed with an 87% in a test you had to at least score 80% so slide in to home, I am a happy guy...:D


Now they have me taking a 6 hour training for Private 5g Networks which was assigned to me by a Director so I can participate in some early trials I believe the first one is with Verizon. The training is ok but most of our training is normally real quality video training (we have our own Production company) but this one has a lot of reading which is the kiss of death for tired old man...LOL...:lol:


Girls came by and cleaned the house it was TDPTY and TODP, I had another tree branch break on the peach tree there were a lot of un-ripened peach's dropped I threw out one 5 gallon bucket. The girls broke everything down and thrww it in the green can then I cut up what was left with the chainsaw, have a second 5 gallon bucket full of peach's I want to see if they will ripen...:cool:


Peach's is one of Kats favorite romance songs...:biggrin:

Plook - 4-8-2022 at 21:27

Kat came over about 7:45 we had a couple of libations I made dinner and we were watching some TV and we both fell asleep...what an exciting a couple...:lol:

Plook - 6-8-2022 at 01:29

Eddie RUKidding - 6-8-2022 at 02:15

:bouncy:

Plook - 6-8-2022 at 16:56

We had a successful voyage last night...:cool:


Kat had to go to the East Bay for a hair day with her mom they enjoy the time together so we had an abbreviated Friday night for an early wake up...:D


Since her daughter TODP had to watch Baby J I am on soccer mom duty driving granddaughters around to their appointments today...:roll:


Well off I go to my first drop off...:drums:

Plook - 8-8-2022 at 19:49

Weekend went well all that girl ride thing was something else no wonder the moms are drinking a lot...:lol:


We kicked it Saturday Night I made chicken and vegetable skewers with Anti-oxidant vegetables and and an Italian antipasti salad...:cool:


I got up early Sunday and hit the golf course played well shot 79 again with 10 pars and 8 bogeys I'm playing over my head but that's good, we hit the pool in the afternoon with some good summer music it was nice...:D


Then this morning I was trying to log into Teams for an early meeting and it would not open so I did a restart and zap my screen went dark and was flashing uh O...I get a message on my phone from Internal corporate that world wide anyone who did a restart on their computer was getting a blank flashing screen and do not restart your computer, this potentially affected 100,00 employees...:mad:


It took a while but they figured out a hard reboot would fix it so I am back in the game thank god I didn't loose anything that I can tell so far...:grin:

Eddie RUKidding - 8-8-2022 at 22:06

Plook - 10-8-2022 at 19:43

What a jam packed weekend, Kat babysat Baby J Saturday and I was running around getting stuff done, worked in yard, did a pool once over and filter swap.


Sunday morning I was up before the butt crack of dawn to go golfing had a decent score (82) but I didn't play as good as I have been it was hard work to scratch that score out and I was actually physically soar afterward quite a work out.


Then in the afternoon we had all the girls over to swim and have a BBQ, needless to say I was out before 8 pm I was totally cooked...but we had a blast!

We lost Jim...:(


One of the people I grew up with in our massive horseshoe with a cul-de-sac neighborhood that was 50 kids strong...:bouncing:

The Hood




A super nice guy about 6'3" not a mean bone in his body an accomplished construction worker from a very young age (Journeyman by 18 years old), we built a skateboard ramp that came out awesome in 1977, just a really good guy, we reconnected at my Moms memorial in 2019.

Some of the Hood 2019





We skateboarded together, surfed together, and performed all sorts of hijinks...One of our big ones was the Rocketship Gumball Machine hist, when we stole an awesome Rocketship Gumball Machine from a super market in broad daylight and got out clean.

Rocketship Gumball Machine



We got about $10 out of it big time money for 1976 but the highlight was the contest to see who could get the most gumballs in their mouth...LOL...I won with 60 Jim and Steve came in a close 2nd with 58 I just waited until they gave up and grabbed 2 more...Even crazier we made a giant ball out of the chewed gum and put it on top of Steve's neighbors light pole and it was there for over a decade, I think everyone thought it was an ornament...:lol:

GrayGhost - 20-9-2022 at 08:36

Hold on to your hat.....That's going to be a hell of a show.....

Plook - 20-9-2022 at 14:35

Now seeing you here almost made me hit the floor how are you a nd the little lady doing?

GrayGhost - 21-9-2022 at 09:08

Ahhhhh young Plook, during the two Months of radio silence, I was periodically perusing the Goose,
keeping abreast of the comings and goings,
whilst occasionally spamming the community button over at z.com.....

In a lame protest at the "shut down" FZ was entirely dropped from the in-cave
playlist, (that'll show em!) and replaced almost exclusively with a steady diet
of Black Sabbath and Roger Waters.....

Before I could reach for the noose 'n' razor blade combo, the little woman
intervened by buying me a copy of Zappa Erie.....
(which I secretly own via the I buy it give it to Joe 90 who loans it to me forever ruse).....

I e mailed Bonny and, after the usual checks with Interpol, I'm joined.....
and I might have hijacked The infamous "what are you listening to" thread.....

Frank's back on the playlist and I'm lovin' his new album.....

The little woman was obsessed with the death of Queen Elizabeth II,
usually not big on screen time she was now tearfully glued to the 24/7
coverage with bursts of The Crown dvd's that her friend loaned her, ages ago.....
mmmmm those two could be up to something.....

Once the live coverage had largely ended so did the TV, and the wee one
seems noticeably brighter mood wise, I'm guessing there was a little suppressed Cookie grief involved,
so all in all the Queen is dead, long live the King.....
(who's advisor during his mid forties was an ancient elm tree he named Nigel in London's Royal Botanical Kew Gardens,
but that's another story)

and on that note, what is the per post character limit on the PackardGoose?

pumpkin:lol:pumpkin



Plook - 21-9-2022 at 20:43

Gray you always deliver, please give the little lady my fond hello’s.


Here in the US the Queen was wall to wall for 10 days, I know more about that woman than I ever should. I must say that some of the things I learned were quite entertaining so it was not all for not...;)


As to Rodger Waters Pink Floyd I will need to put something together, Kat and I traveled with my long time Nor Cal friend H-Dog and his extremely funny wife E…We had a glorious time but it will take minute to put something together especially since I have the pay back double for a day off to refund at work and tomorrow is my B-Day (Bought the tickets for my B-day in 2020…:shocked:). In the meantime here is a quick round-up of the events…:singer:


It was amazing if I had not seen the show in 2018, I would say best ever, but do not get me wrong the show in the round was great also.


Giant flying sheep and pig almost close enough to touch, massive 4-sided shadow box above the stage that nearly filled the stadium showing videos as clear as possible with live shots intermixed with preselected visual, and long walkways on 4 sides that came all the way out to the riser on which different performers rotating around the stage would regularly walk out on including Rodger.


After an intense instrumental of sound and sights they transitioned into Comfortably Numb for the opener! He almost played the complete The Wall album, then a large selection of Welcome to the Machine with Shine on You Crazy Diamond being sung by the entire crowd!


He also interspersed some of his solo stuff along with rare old songs from the late 60's and early 70’s, also many selections from Animals as well as Dark Side of the Moon.


It was all that and a bag of chips with a lot of intimate moments where he went into great detail explaining his music, the idea was to think of it as a bar setting where we were all having a pint together listening to and playing music, it worked by the crowds overwhelming reaction...BTW their sound system was unbelievable the road crew has 140 riggers to set it up for each night, he said they were the equivalent of a huge giant traveling circus...:roll:

GrayGhost - 21-9-2022 at 23:55

Oh man, sounds excellent, I've been checking out the clips on youtube the show looks amazing.....

Every time I get to see Pink Floyd (whomevers version) I come away thinking
that's as good as it gets, next time you come away with a tan from the lighting,
and coincidentally Halley's comet is clearly visible glinting beside the stage,
they'll never top that.....Then there was The Wall, and not only but also
so close to Snowy White and his goldtop, well that's that then.....
Next time you're inside a hologram of the Battersea Power Station
having an out of body experience (I almost went for a drug test after that one).....

I've been informed by Eugene (international roadie of ill repute)
and usually 100% on concert info, that there are plans in the works
for an Australian or Australasian tour.....we can only hope.....

Plook - 22-9-2022 at 23:55

Gray, Kat read your post last night when she came over for the Petit Camel and she had moments of equally laughing and crying she loves you my friend from afar.

Now I have to go celebrate my Birthday ....:guitar::guitar2::drums::singer:
