Bag of Wrenches (2/12) Pre-Blast – A Hard Rain’s a Gonna Come

I don’t know for sure but I’d like to think ole Bob Dylan was thinking about posting at Bag of Wrenches when he wrote “A Hard Rain’s a Gonna Come” in ‘63.  Whether this was the case or not I doubt he’d use it as an excuse not to post. It will most likely beContinueContinue reading “Bag of Wrenches (2/12) Pre-Blast – A Hard Rain’s a Gonna Come”

2/8/19 Pleasantville Back Blast

There’s an old saying, “If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute and it will change.”  The past few days have been down right weird weather-wise.  From seasonably warm weather to the Polar Vortex, followed by great golfing weather, back to cold, back to warm with storms and now back to below freezing withContinueContinue reading “2/8/19 Pleasantville Back Blast”
