Sent for these (see attachment below) great Halloween window decorations through Wally's online.  Cheap, too!  All four for under $10, shipping included.  I think they're perfect.

Went to the store where I bought that other Rocky Jones Space Ranger DVD, and the owner made me an offer I couldn't refuse to buy out the rest of the Rocky DVDs, 3 left, at a reduced price, so I took his offer.

There were a total of 39 Rocky Jones shows, most of them continued for 3 episode stories, which were edited together for the 78 mins feature films.

A few were one story in a single episode, tho.

Opinion of today's audience is, as expected, equally divided between those who love it and those who can't stand it.

For its time, the special effects were considered good, and expensive enough that the show didn't turn a profit and continue for many years and more episodes.

I think it's an OK show, and am glad that the feature films are still available.

Dr Claw, was the attatchment in your post from a URL link?

I was hoping I could attatch photo files from a USB here, but when I tried to do so, the only option I got was an http: address.

I am able to attach those picture files in some of my posts (like the one in that post above) direct from the image folders on my computer.  You should be able to, too. 
Perhaps if you download the pix from that USB drive you mentioned directly to your rig?  I dunno.  A decade in, and I still feel like I'm fumbling around in the dark with computers, frankly.

Oh, and some other purchases from the same late night online binge that produced the window posters above arrived at the Post Office.  There's a couple with zombie silhouettes (that kind of remind me of Deeky's old Surfin' Dead site art), and a couple with huge spider silhouettes.  I'll have all the visible street-side windows covered next Halloween.

Wow!  Do you play pro, or just a hobby?  What sorts of tunes are you going to practice on it?

I was a pro briefly in the early 2000's. Of course, all that means is that there were some folks out there so starved for entertainment that they would pay to listen to me. There's probably a really good reason I am back into programming now.

This is my reward to myself for finishing PT on my left hand (I severed a couple tendons two years ago).

Gonna learn to play again on this one. Thinking surf and rockabilly --those just seem to fit on this instrument.

Today, I went to Myrtle Beach, my main priority to get some parts for a floor lamp in my shack. I was pretty mixed up with the tangle of streets in the downtown area, Oak Street, Broadway, and North Kings Highway, where the store I needed to get the lamparts from was located. Finally, after wasting a lot of time walking, I drove my car down Kings Highway, and the store I needed to go to was not at that location.

So my main mission in MB was not accomplished.

I did go by the train depot, which, going into 14 years since it was reopened in 2004, plans to have some rolling stock on display have finally gotten underway.

There was a caboose, which will be used as a kitchen, and a boxcar which will be used for storage.

Both were freshly painted. There was a large number of cars in the parking lot, including some with TV news channel logos on them, altho I had no idea at all what was going on there.

I ended my Myrtle Beach trip by going to the city library, where they seem to be closing out the DVDs one for a dollar, so I decided to get some that I had wanted to see, before they were gone (it was a year ago, that I stocked up on those DVDs from that library and reported on my watching them on the old ZAQB.

I bought the following:

The Mad Doctor of Market Street

Run for The Hills

Dark Intruder, and

Of Mice and Men

For some reason, as soon as I saw it I thought: Prog Rock! 

But I'd rather listen to surf or rockabilly.

It's funny. I always forget that there's an actual city of Myrtle Beach. I don't think I've ever been off Ocean Boulevard.

And somewhere in the city is a store dedicated to lamp parts.
