Finally I up-loaded a vid to youtube

I know it's been a while since I've posted. I did finally up load a video to youtube. It's called, Bob Gibson - Super Skiers Last Race.

Edited to add; I just removed the links, till such time they are allowed back up
I found out, Warner Music Group (WMG) claim that they aren’t being PAIDED enough money by Google for the use of the label’s content on YouTube, and have therefore requested that all of their tracks are to be pulled from the website. Talk about being cheap. Warner Music has pulled music from the bands, musicians, who made the music famous. So I guess even though they wrote their own music, they aren't allowed to publish that fact on Youtube.

Now to me, that is criminal act, and silencing the music.


I'm not sure how to post the video here. I'm sure those of you who read this will say that's bad. Well this is the first time, I've tried doing this and I hope I can do better the next time.

Sue and I went to dinner to the Branding Iron, on our 25th anniversary. Both of our children were their, Sara with her husband Anthony, and Robert. Several family friends were there as well. I do have a pix, of Sue and I there and will post it later.

I may have suffered a heart attack last night. I'll be going to the clinic, and have that checked out tomorrow at 6PM.

Take care and God Bless
Bob

Apollo 11 Anniversary

Thinking back to today, 40 years ago, I was in the backyard, in a home made capsule of Apollo 11. There was Jim, and myself, my other brother Richard, decided no to go with us. We stayed in the mock-up of our capsule during the whole trip of Apollo 11. Thinking back on the innocence of the time, I don't think kids today could do it.

Apollo 11 was the first manned mission to land on the Moon. The first steps by humans on another planetary body were taken by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.

Listening to the radio, I can still remember these words. Houston. "Tranquility Base here. Eagle has landed." I also remember these, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind". What an exciting day in history when the Eagle landed.

I will edit this later, as I need to head off to the doctors.
