    Maggie’s Best Guitar Solo

    Jorma Kaukonen is an excellent blues guitrarist, and Spencer Dryden is an accomplished drummer who you never hear about. I lived in SF in 1970-71, and saw the Airplane at Fillmore West and Winterland. Spacey Gracy was the main attraction, but I took particular notice of Jorma.

    Maggie’s Best Guitar Solo

    Here's someone from The Shadows that few will remember. He got a sound from the guitar that was unique. In this video, I believe he's using an Echos From the Past echo machine, programmed to sound like the Meazzi tape based machine he originally used. It's close, but not exact.

    How about the really talented musicians

    This is excellent, but lacks the multirythym that only Led Zeppelin could pull off.

    No, this one is my favorite from that album, but I really also like Jewish Princess.

    Pastrami!

    I've been making my own corned beef for years. I always lop off a hunk and make pastrami. I have the corned beef down pat, but pastrami is an ongoing experiment. It doesn't suck, but I haven't yet perfected it.

    Pope Death Watch... WITH A PRIZE!!! Quart of Maple Syrup to the winner!

    Just a suggestion - you might want to cut off voting sometime in the next day to prevent participants from waiting until the last minute and "sniping" like the last 5 seconds of an online auction.

    AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH! FIRE ANTS!

    Benadryl type topical ointments sometimes work better than hydrocortisone, but for bites and such I've found that the 4% Lidocaine ointments you can now get OTC knock the itch or pain down fast. I've not used them for fire ant bites, but they work for everything else.

    AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH! FIRE ANTS!

    When I first moved to SC, a neighbor told me to not upset ant hills and use the gasoline method described by others here. I was really fortunate to get this advice early in my stay in the south. She was a divorced rodeo girl and had horses that stayed on her side of the fence. Since this is the...

    The standard I used was whatever you need for the bottom, 50% nitrox or a trimix with 50% O2 at 70 ft and then O2 at 20 ft. You break to bottom gas regularly to keep from too much time at the 1.6 atm partial pressure. I run my bottom mix at 1.0-1.2 max pp, as I'm more afraid of O2 than of a few...

    I've done a lot of cave dives and also some really deep trimix wreck dives. For those properly trained, cave diving is relatively easy as the risks and their solutions have been documented extensively. With maybe one exception I can think of (Parker Turner at Indian Spring), people don't die...

    Canadian woman tries to take a selfie with a shark, gets both hands and an arm bitten off

    In a few places, I carried a bang stick while diving, but never used it. In SoFl, we sometimes saw bullsharks while "divebombing" deep wrecks, but they went away if we turned off the HID lights and got off the scooter triggers. Many shark bites in FL are from spinner sharks where people swim in...
