Tasting homemade sorghum and a Story from Gary. It's a Doozy!

11/20/2023

We had a fun afternoon recording this episode. We started by tasting some homemade sorghum syrup on some homemade biscuits. Show friend Dan Cameron provided the sorghum and Gary whipped up the buttermilk biscuits. And after our stomachs were full, Gary chats about a 379-mile canoe trip he took with Steve Blizzard in 1994. They were re-creating the founding of Harrodsburg, KY. It's quite the story.

A Portable bidet & other ramblings

1/17/2021

We've started our third season with this episode recorded at the old Green River Bridge. Gary and Mark ramble on about several recent happenings. One of the many highlights is Gary's demonstration of a portable bidet. And folks, it's a real product.

It only took us 49 years!

9/17/2020

Gary and Mark met as camp counselors at Camp Mondamin 49 years ago. Enjoy this 15-minute episode as they recreate a hike they did in 1971. It turned out to be kind of a disaster, but it cemented their friendship. In this episode, we make it right.

Three Old Friends share stories and music

8/1/2020

Gary and Mark met up with old camp friend, Scott Reed, on the tower at Camp Mondamin for our 36th episode. Scott, a financial advisor of the top order, gives our listeners and us some advice...and then Scott and Gary team up for some musical selections. Sit back and enjoy.

The Hike - how a misguided hike to Beech point made us 50-year friends

7/15/2020

Our featured story is about the time Gary and Mark took a group of 12-year-olds on a hike to a place we never found. And while the trip might have seen like a disaster at the time, it turned out to be the catalyst of a friendship that has endured since 1971.

Social distancing - we're taking this seriously

4/1/2020

Gary and Mark got together to record this episode from a proper social distancing distance. We brought in three guests via phone including Mayor Thomas, Mayor of Watershed; Joseph Clarke, the legal counsel for the show and university; and Frank Schell, a friend who happens to be a pickleball champion and is taking over that sport for the university as well as serving as the new tourism and development director for Rabbit Island Resort.

Returning to our roots and all the news from Watershed

1/15/2020

We travel back to where our friendship began for this episode. Gary and Mark met at Camp Mondamin in 1971 and decided to celebrate their 49th year of friendship by recording on the tower at the camp overlooking Lake Summit. And if fact, if you squint you can get a glimpse of Rabbit Island. As always, lots of fun stuff going on in 25 minutes.

Comments

This episode actually predated our "welcome" episode. Gary & Mark were enjoying lunch and a buck-fifty beer at Green River Barbecue in Saluda, NC. Out came a portable recorder and the two friends chatted for a few minutes. This was going to be our practice run but we actually liked it enough to save and post. It doesn't take a lot to please us!
