OT: How are you guys dealing with waiting for the season to end?

That's really something, many details. Very weird but still kinda nice moment.

I recently heard a similar story of grandmother's house, in that case grandmother passed away and her son and daughter went to the house to sort things out or something. They lived in different cities, so they decided to stay over the night. Both woke up around 6 am because they heard steps and cooking noices in the kitchen, and the son thought it was her sister making breakfast and the sister thought it was her brother making breakfast. Both went back to sleep and the woke up again couple hours later, both were a bit shocked when they realized that neither one of them weren't in the kitchen earlier.

Hiking story sounds creepy. I got the feeling that dog was usually more calm but in that moment acted highly irregularly? The way you told it, sounds like that normally he/she didn't bark at darkness.

It seems like houses of Greatest Generation people are ripe to have paranormal activity. People of that era didn't move from place to place and put so much of themselves into their homes. It's kind of comforting ala the @Winger98 story.

Re: our dog, she was a vigilant guardian. Always saw someone coming way before we did. If you've had dogs you know the difference between barking at the mailman and barking at a real threat. This was a fight to the death response from her. That convinced us we weren't just being freaked out hiking in the dark.

Thats what Indiana Jones warned us about.

But serious question have you ever run in to anything weird? I once had very weird reflection off the window. It was nightime and i was home alone watching TV, and the TV is right next to a window and the blinds were shut. Corner light behind me was on, so everything behind me reflected to the window glass.

So im watching TV and for unknown reason i convert eyes off the TV and to the window, and believe or not and i swear on anything, i saw a person standing behind me for a split second. Freaked the shit out of me and shivers went through my body. How you explain that? Wild and weird moment.

When I was 12 I was home alone and both of my parents were with my sister at her hockey game. I was watching TV in the living room, and I heard the loudest blood curdling female scream come from upstairs in the house. It was loud and clear as day, there was no mistaking what I heard. I grabbed the house phone, locked myself in the bathroom, and called my parents who then called out neighbor (who was a good family friend) who came over and searched the entire house. There was nothing, and today nothing tangible or of this world can explain that scream.

I talk a lot about my fosters, but my resident dog, Mal the Dog, is 107lbs of chocolate lab/great dane goofball.

If you "surprise" him and he knows you, "blark blark blark! I'm a dog! Remember my dog-ness-itude?!?!?"

If you "SURPRISE" him, he has this combo "hog-squeal/demon-scree/what-the-heck-is-going-on-here?!?!?!?" that will fill the shorts of many a strong man.

Were you 12 when Holland signed Abdelkader to that big extension?
What about when Yzerman signed Holl?
Asking for a friend.

You beat to the punch, I was going to shake you down for dog pics. Good lookin' big guy! You have to feed him with a shovel? Your dog almost weighs almost as much as both of mine together!

I hiked the area extensively the 10 years I lived in Asheville. It was pleasant for the most part, but you're spot on that some areas have a real vibe to them. In general the mountains look creepy when the fog or low clouds roll in.

Elephant rock in Wisconsin was creepy AF. I had a "woods went completely silent" moment there.

2 questions: 1) did anything happen on your hikes or were you just skeeved out?
2) what kind of guitar did you get?

-Nothing ever happened, but I was glad I wasn't staying overnight. Skeeved out is the right way to put it.

-Started a couple months ago really with a really basic Squire Strat. Didn't want to spend to much just to find out its not for me. Been playing daily and wife just got me a early fathers day gift of a 'used' PRS SE 245 in Antique White. I say 'used' because it looks like the previous owner never used it at all.

Re: the hiking, in Appalachia there is a very palpable feeling people born there resent anyone coming in from the outside. Without being too metaphysical, it's almost like certain places were cursed by a "this is our land" attitude.

Re: guitars, you started out well. Even Squire strats have pretty good string action, build, and the frets are forgiving. There's a reason strats, Telecasters and Les Pauls are standard fare. Your PRS is set to make some great noise with the double humbuckers!

Also kind of interesting you learned to play on electric setups. I guess that's why you're not Acoustic Eric😉

Amp? Pedals?

Where did you move from, and to? Changing time zones suggests a grand adventure!

No moving, just the adventure of going to bed 3 times a week at 4.00 am after a match and working at 8.00 am during the RW season.
So 6 weeks after the end of the Wings season I still have trouble to fall a sleep between 12 and 1 which is my normal rhythm.
