Hi, Vision,
Did you try to find that Gunsmoke channel on Grace?
Good evening...
I did search and find the channel but have not listened to it.
Are you listening to the games?
We need to have a bbq talk. There is something you probably don't know about that turns out amazing bbq.
Yes, we’re listening to the games. We’ll be here but may miss part of the Big Broadcast.
Yea! Tell me about the barbecue! :-)
This technique has been popularized by pit barrel cookers. Now I can hang meats using a weber smokey mountain. But I'm going to recommend, when budget allows, that you buy a pit barrel cooker.
The entire known available catalog of old time radio shows is available for free at archive.org, as well as loads of other public domain media files including old government nuclear test videos and the like. Old time radio is part of my daily routine with my iPhone while out and about or just sitting at home relaxing on the computer.
Yes, we are aware of the Archive website, but this is a special show that we also enjoy each Sunday evening.
Oh, good! Thanks, Vision!
I’m surprised SF is in the lead.
Sad Gunsmoke.
We’re glad! We want Seattle to go down, for obvious reasons. :-)
I cannot believe that SF touchdown pass.
YAYESSS!!! :-)
Oh, darn!!!
