"Think I'll go out to Alberta,
Weather's good there in the fall.
I got some friends that I can visit while I'm there."
(Not quite the lyrics Ian Tyson wrote, but close)
Making it official so I won't procrastinate and cancel. Come the 1st week of September I'll head East of the Great Continental Divide and onto the lone prairie... destination, Edmonton. This will be a camping trip as I ride a great loop, returning by way of the Bad Lands. If after I leave you don't hear from me again, it'll be because I ran over a cactus spine, got a flat then bitten by a rattler. Yup... they don't call 'em the 'Bad Lands' for nothing. Clint Eastwood's movie 'Unforgiven' was in part, filmed in Alberta's badlands.
So Marty, roll out the cot and break out the beer,
I'll be knockin' on your door for a bed and some cheer!
When those pipe come rumblin' from a far away town
You'll know it's me, 'cause they're the loudest pipes around!!
Live to love, love to live.

Yeah, they're back on today after wrapping the void on the baffles. Not much better... maybe no difference at all. I'm sure Marty could here me coming once I get over the Rockies!!

Oh heck, they were not THAT loud.  Or maybe I've lost most of my hearing.

Honestly... I don't want to be know as 'the guy with the loudest pipes'. I'd rather take a back seat to those of such claim and glory! Ya want loud?
It's all around you
Within you and without you
Decibels in the hundreds
It's the cry of sick and hungry
It's the rumble that I crave
Not the symphony of today
With voices crying out so loud
To be heard above the crowd
Nope, I'm the quiet one
The silent one
The one with the voice that can't be heard
Above the rest of the dying herd.
(Song writing is a late night preoccupation of mine... I hope you don't mind!)
Live to love, love to live.
