I have to make a stand for Positively 4th Street.

lyrical masterpiece.
Yeh, that’s a good one.
I just quickly riffed off the top of my head but could probably do an alternative 5 that I liked just as much.

Top 5 Dylan songs

-Don’t think twice it’s alright
-Girl from the North Country
-You ain’t goin nowhere (the version containing the lyric ‘Genghis Khan and his brother, Don’)
-The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll
-Chimes of freedom
Girl from North Country with Johnny Cash is great.

In fact Nashville Skyline is pretty great.

Bought a set of the Simons for my gun.
Look and feel great. All glass, similar template to MFs.
Good price that includes postage.

Managed to get all my wetties dry today.

I have a technique called "rapid fire heating" where I park my car in the sun with the windows slightly ajar and then impart enough energy to the damp neoprene to free the remaining water molecules via evaporation.

I hang them over the two middle lines of my washing line, in direct sun. Then over all 4 lines I hang a huge beach towel over them and the weight of the wetties they don’t touch the towel.
So the wetties get warm and dry without getting direct sun.

Nice technique.

I feel "bad" about being such a pussy in the sub-tropics but I hate wet wetsuits.

Just the groveller so far.
Tried it as a twin+1 and a thruster.
Preferred the thruster.
Will probably go straight twin in weak summery stuff and thruster for anything with a bit more push than that.

Sold my mal today.
With all this talk about Dylan songs, this sentence reminded me of the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young song "Almost Cut My Hair"

This one's for you Buddy:

1-2-3 .......

Almost I sold my mal
It happened just the other day
It's gettin' kinda long (board)
I coulda said it wasn't in my way
But I didn't and I wonder why
I feel like letting my freaking shortboard fly
Yes, I feel like I owe it to someone
Must be because I had a flu for Christmas
And I'm not feeling up to par
I don't even like golf anyway
It increases my paranoia
Like looking at my mirror and seeing … FUCKING Shearer!
But I'm not giving in an inch to fear
'Cause I promised myself this year
I feel like I owe it to someone
When I finally get myself together
Did I tell you we just had a baby
I'm going to get down in that sunny southern weather
Well, no further south than Ballina
Which is quite nice if you compare it to Rockhampton
And I'll find a place inside to laugh
Separate the wheat from the chaff
Thats a reference to smoking pot
If you didn’t already know
I feel like I owe it
To someone, yeah

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.
