In episode 3 of Music Mondays, we look at the all-time very best rock song intro. Am I right?

What songs illicit a strong memory for you? In this week's Music Monday's episode, I talk about what the album (and song) "Back in Black" by AC/DC, bring back to my old brain. :-)

For the first episode of Music Mondays, I muse about 10 albums I wouldn't want to live without. My list will give away my age (before I directly reveal it in the video). What would you subtract? Add? Most Music Mondays episodes will be a lot shorter. Key moments: 1:00 - What this list is *not* 2:15 - Why this video is so long? 2:40 - Why did I even do this video? 2:50 - The list begins 15:50 - Review of Mindmeister entries 25:20 - Honorable mentions The Mindmeister mind map with all the albums and songs mentioned in this video: https://mm.tt/app/map/3234193369?t=sRb1OPcBAf Although you can play all of the videos in that mind map...

I am a total gaming newbie...but, man do I love TT Isle of Man Ride on the Edge. This is some of my best effort playing it for the first time yesterday. It's heading toward summertime. Based on this footage, do you think my wife should allow me to get a motorcycle? P.S. I'm not one for crotch rockets, so if I did get a bike...probably another Harley. P.P.S. The motorcyclists in the real races are nuts and amazing, but mostly nuts. :-) @Nacon

Episode 3 of Alan's BBQ Adventures! Ummm...well...let's just say that when my youngest says it is the worst pizza he's ever had...that can't be good. :-) I mean, everything can't be a win, can it? - 0:20 The set-up - 2:58 We are doomed - 5:11 The result - 6:19The verdict - 6:50 What we'll do better next time

The Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic we are not, but here is Augie and my quick, non-spoiler review of "Godzilla x Kong" right after leaving AMC after watching it. I think the thumbnail gives away our verdict. Please watch the video for "nuance." Well, as much nuance as you can expect from a teenager and his teenager-brained dad. :-)

This is the first episode of "Alan's BBQ Adventures." I have avoided any significant outdoor grilling all my life, and went all in with this grill and smoker to change that. See the grill and accessories I purchased by BBQGuys.com, watch me build the Masterbuilt 1050 high-speed, and get my initial reactions (especially about the assembly effort). And come back in the future to see if I mistakenly burn down the neighborhood. :-) • 2:13 - Accessories • 3:53 - High-speed assembly • 7:10 - Happy family • 7:17 - Initial reactions Grab one for yourself!

You are in luck! You are seeing the very first episode of Life with Eddie, where Eddie is adopted into the Colorado Fahrner family. Will he like his new home?! Will his adopted dad somehow lose him the first day?! (Dad sure wondered for a minute there...you'll see.) Eddie is a Leopard Gecko. A Leopard Gecko with an attitude. We adopted our little friend from Nature Box Pet Emporium: https://natureboxpetemporium.com/ We highly recommend them...

Although I had to say, "Happy New Year" to Alexa multiple times to get the response I first received from her, you might also get a kick from it. :-) Happy New Year everybody! May 2024 be your best year ever!
