Enjoy it while it lasts. We're calling in reinforcements...

Sonic and Saz went missing around the same time. I just assumed they were running around the country like a modern day Bonnie and Clyde. Robbing Banks, raising hell, etc., etc.

NOPE!

The Duck just vanished. Duck calls, bad grammar, the chicks getting a bit uppity in the numbers game...and still no sign of him. Hopefully, he's living the good life.

-6 Sleep tight Doreen.

I came across a podcast called "Walking The Floor with Chris Shiflett" this week and have been binge listening the last few days. Shiflett is the guitar player for the Foo Fighters and interviews musicians from several different genres. "The Joe Rogan Experience" is the show that got me into podcasts and I still listen on a fairly regular basis. I like both of Dan Carlin's podcasts: "Common Sense" and "Hardcore History." I also like "Freakonomics Radio." "Mind Pump" offers up solid, BS free fitness advice. Sal, Justin, and Adam manage to offer great, research based information while also working in some fart and boner jokes. I appreciate that. "Norm Macdonald Live" is the funniest podcast I have ever listened to. Norm doesn't stick to any set schedule though, so you just have to take them as they come.

-6 What the...? A concentrated weekend offensive...sneaky chicks!

NOPE!

Glad you enjoy it Doreen. It's the music I grew up on. When I was just a kid, I could sing-a-long with all of Roger Miller's greatest hits. Mom didn't care for it. Dad thought it was hilarious.

-6 Good Saturday morning Quit Train.

Just noticed my ticker. Eight-months down, over $2,000 saved, and over 6,700 cigarettes not smoked. Makes it easy to say...NOPE!

As long as I'm going on about country music....The CMA's atoned for some of its past sins and actually put on a really good show this year.

Welcome aboard Crush. You absolutely should be positive about setting yourself free and nothing in what you wrote is "pathetic." You're preparing to set yourself free and improve your life. That is an awesome endeavor. Speaking from personal experience, you're not doing yourself any favors by cutting back. I cut back on a couple of occasions and found it to be the worst of both worlds. I was experiencing the withdrawal and obsessive thoughts of a new quit, but was still smoking. I was feeding the beast and then spending the rest of the day trying to hold it at bay. I found quitting to be easier and more rewarding than cutting back. You've taken the initial steps and freedom is sitting right there waiting for you to grab it. Congratulations.

For fans of traditional country music, Cody Jinks is one of the leaders of the revival.
