Labor Day Weekend things that make me smile: (with some photos)
- My dad's parade entry every year, which was different every year but based on the same truck
- Walking the Mackinaw Bridge with my sisters
- Watching the parade with my grandpa
- Chicken BBQ at the school put on by the Rotary Club
- Just when I was feeling the grind of getting tent sale set up I found this in the bottom of a box of ski jackets sent from Telluride Ski Shop (they put one in every box they sent)

Top fish to catch before I die:
5. Golden trout (lived in CA the vast majority of my life and never caught one)
4. Steelhead north of the border (caught plenty in CA coastal rivers but that's it...)
3. Albacore on a fly rod (caught tonnes of them with ocean gear, never been able to get one to take a fly)
2. Brooke trout over 14" (I've caught more than my fair share of them under 10")
1. Arctic greyling north of the arctic circle

Rowdy from Scrubs. One of my favorite gag props ever.
Duuude, Husker Du rocks. But I like Bob Mould's later stuff (Sugar and Bob Mould) even more. Definitely diverges from Punk at some point, but so F'ing big and melodic it makes me feel like I'm . . . standing on the edge of the Hoover Dam . . .Let's not forget the greatest punk band to come out of Minnesota.
"Mould has written that he considers the band's first 'real gig' to have been May 17, 1980, at the renowned punk club Jay's Longhorn Bar." -- Wikipedia

As I scrolled down, I kept thinking, @crgildart knows his stuff, surely he has Neil Peart #1 . . . good job.
Music peaked 1965-1975. Everything was better back then: music, literature, movies, skiing, etc.

Oops, I forgot the one to top all of them, the Porsche 917/30. Cheryl and I got to see Hans Joachim Stuck drive it (actually, I think there are two of them?) at the Monterey Historics. When Hans was asked by an interviewer how this car compared to others he had driven like the 936, 956, and 962; Hans replied "Vell, it is a little bit primitive compared to ze other cars, but vis ze extra power you can get sideways in ze corners and go FASTER!" The guy from the Porsche museum that was there just blanched and everybody else cracked up laughing. Classic.

I had Purple Rose, it got beat out by Take the Money and Run.
I had a '67 911S Porsche, got to drive that at Riverside (RIR, before they tore the track out), Laguna Seca (about peed my pants when a Lotus Cortina banged off the left wall dropping into the Corkscrew, came back across the track right in front of me!), and Willow Springs (if you're not scared at Willow, you're going too slow!)...
Top 5 things about modern rock concerts
1) Heavy Metal Music; it's always been about the music.
2) Mosh Pits, a recent addition (compared to my time span - I missed a couple of decades of concerts due to various reasons).
3) Vodka and energy drinks, another recent addition (again compared to my time span).
4) Not-overdressed attractive youngsters who bring you your beer (gotta stay hydrated) and vodka instead of making you line up at a beer tent.
5) Ear plugs, so you can go on hearing your favorite music well into your dottage.
