We went to see The Rolling Stones tribute band. I have to say it was one of the worst bands I've seen and I've seen many. The singer was trying way to hard to mimic Mick Jagger and was acting all "flamboyant". I felt like I was watching David Bromstad from HGTV on stage. :facepalm: The music was bad too and it was hard to tell which song they were in for a good minute unlike the Styx band where you could tell within a note or two. Towards the end they actually played 2 songs well which were Honky Tonk Woman & Paint It Black but all the rest were pretty painful to listen to. Luckily the tribute shows are free and it was a night out so not a total waste. lol

The Stones are one of my favorite bands and I saw the Stones back in '89 at Shea Stadium which is an outdoor event with 70,000. We were 12 rows from the stage and waste of the best shows I've seen. Elton John was a very close second. That guy can put on a show!!

I'm not even going to torture you all with any live audio. lol

Absolutely right! But at least I didn't blow a bunch of money and it was a night out of the house. 😁 I don't think it wouldn't have been as bad if at least the vocals or the instruments were better. Having both sound terrible just made it more painful for me. Then the lead singer trying way too hard to impersonate Mick made it even worse. I'm probably being more critical because I'm a huge Stones fan and having seen them. lol But there were several people who left halfway through so maybe not. 🙃

Probably sound like the real band members at their current age. 🤪

Took a drive out to Twin Lakes where there is huge tracts of private and state timber land to check the amount of snow. The private land is open to permit use by the public. I buy the permit every year for hunting and mountain biking. We have hardly had snow here in north Idaho and the two roads going in on the land have been plowed for hauling out timber. Time to get this years tag on the ATV, grab the 22-250 and try to call in some coyotes.

I went for a drive to see what condition that the road was in.
FM 2554, with a layer of ice on top of the snow.

Went to the dumps, little overloaded. Went to use grab a buddy’s dump truck but wouldn’t start in the 10 degree weather.

I do have the road active suspension which while it doesn’t legally add payload it definitely helps.

Yeah, sorry about that. That was a short test the road drive to the Duplex Church and back home. Hopefully I can get the rest of it off tomorrow.

I will tell ya'll one thing for certain. I'm happy that I bought the M+S rated Goodyear Wrangler ATs. Because when all of this stuff melts that gravel road and the farm market roads are going to be a mess.
