This "morning" (I work second shift and get up around 11am) I'm going through the morning ritual of taking a dump , having my coffee , and checking the news and weather . All is well in my uncomplicated world . Thursday and Friday are my days off , gonna do some shopping and take the chachi dog to the park .

I'm in the bathroom and the little dude starts going off big time , not the normal "the mail is here" barking . He's going OFF . I get up , I'm in my underwear and a t shirt , wrap a towel around my fat ass and go look out the door . Oh joy ! 3 local cops checking out my SUV ...

I figure someone busted out a window and open the door . Nope ! They inform me that my truck was involved in a "suspicious incident" the next town south of me late last night , and that the cops in that town want to talk to me . Huh ? I got home at 6:30 pm and never left the friggin house . Luckily they left after being assured I'd call and talk to neighboring po po .

Call them immediately and get stonewalled , only "you need to come talk to us" . Told them I'm on my way . Get sat down with officer and he starts reading me my rights . Won't tell me anything until I sign that I'm aware of my rights , yeah yeah I understand , I sign and he tells me I'm a suspect in a theft from a truck parked at a Best Western at 12:30 am . WTF ?

I'm still pretty sure there's a stupid mix up so I told him where I was all day and night yesterday . He shook his head and whips out a grainy photo that still clearly shows an R51 Nissan Pathfinder (2005 -2012) , silver like mine , with MY PLATE ON IT ! And also one of some dude about my size in a blue hoodie taking the item from the truck . I never wear blue except for jeans and maybe underwear .

He tells me the guy won't prosecute if he gets his stuff back and I tell him I can't give what I don't have . Next thing he asked for permission to search my house and received an immediate "oh HELL no !" . I put my finger up as in "gimme a minute" , pull out my phone and call a friend who's a criminal attorney . He was in court , his assistant says he'll call me ASAP .

I ask the cops if I'm free to go and he said yes , at this time you are . That tells me he just needs a little time to get warrants . I'm still thinking WTF ? and then thought of the remote possibility that someone stole my plate and actually used it on another silver R51 Pathfinder . We go out and damn if my front plate ain't gone ! But I'm still in a sticky spot , I have no proof .

I live in a townhouse and remember my Nextdoor neighbor has a RING camera , and I park where it should show my truck . Thank you Lord ! Cop went right over , they were home , truck didn't move all night . Exonerated !

But now some scum sucking shithead has a clone of my truck...

It was definitely mind blowing . What's the chance of me proving my innocence without paying a lawyer , friend or not ? They had all they needed for search and arrest warrants .

I reported the plate stolen and noted on that report that it's being used on a similar vehicle . Both cops gave me case numbers if I get pulled over .


It made me break out "Babba" tonight . Babba is an pet name for an old aspirin bottle my buddy carried everywhere . It was always loaded with fat joints . Every time we'd go somewhere I'd hold my hand out and just say "BABBA !" . :lol:

My Babba is where I put the leftovers when I pack a cone . I bet there's at least 15 different strains mixed up in there , maybe 20 . It does the trick !

On This Day In History, Dec. 30, 1968, Led Zeppelin Was Recorded Live For First Time At Gonzaga University



View attachment 5243333

Led Zeppelin, one of the most celebrated and influential bands in rock ‘n’ roll history, was recorded live before a dazed and confused audience for the first time on this day in history, Dec. 30, 1968.

“The show took place at Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, and saw them opening for Vanilla Fudge,” writes Canadian entertainment site Exclaim!

“Led Zep were so unknown at the time that ads for the gig billed them as ‘Len Zefflin.'”


New thread to me, was scanning through and saw this. Holy moly, didn't realize when I saw them at Thee Image, they were a new group. All I remember is, they were so loud and hurt my ears, just like Cream would do a couple of months later. Loudest concerts i've ever been to cause I was so close, it was a nightclub converted from an old bowling alley that probably held less than a thousand people.

Time to climb out of the Way back machine, Sherman. :shock:
