So, you hit her with your mast and discovered that she had no sense of humor. I thought you said it wasn't a fun place?

I don't know. It was some kind of reservoir. The camp supplied the food but tents are not good things to stay in at windsurfing sites so I cheap moteled it. The camp was mainly during the week--I took vacation time but it also was on a Saturday. I'd never been in that big of a crowd and I fell and dropped my mast. It hit one of the few people who were wearing a helmet. She was mad. It wasn't a very fun place.

Did they give you little whistles to blow so you could make passing signals...one blast for port to port, two blasts for starboard? Or was it just a free for all?

It was a free for all. I was used to maybe having one or two other sailboarders and nothing like the cluster at that place. Anyway, I have switched to kayaking where we don' need no stinkin' wind. Wanna buy a sailboard?

You were at San Luis reservoir. O'Neill forebay is where the water runs out of the reservoir. It is a very popular fishing spot. Stripers.

The local classic rock station that I listen to plays that song at noon every Thanksgiving.

I have the album - and probably a turntable that still works somewhere too!
 
There is a hand full of new bands I'll listen to, but most of it sounds like hipster whining to me...

Volbeat, the Pretty Reckless, any thing by Jack White... The wifey keeps digging up random stuff from europe that is in german or spanish that doesn't suck... I don't understand much of what they are say'n but it does rock.

Unfortunately what little German I do know is from Rammstien... and therefore usually less then pleasant.

Otherwise yeah... guess I'm getting old too...

at what point will we go from classic to old?

"Classic rock" started out as a name for rock music created during the 1967-1973 "golden age" of rock (approximately)... not the stuff commonly played on radio at the time, more about album recordings. Now-a-days "classic rock" is more than just a time period, it's not even a style or sound... it's a moniker applied to music with a kind'a "attitude" (for lack of a better descriptor). There are still "new" bands creating "classic rock", but for the most part they ain't "mainstream"... The Black Crows (a 90s/2000s band) are one of the more well know.

Try listenin' to Velvet Revolver, Derek Trucks, Buckcheery, Porcupine Tree, and Black Label Society to name a few... their album cuts, not the "made-for-radio" singles. Much of it is "classic rock" by anyone's definition... ya' just gotta' sort through the music politics of the time we live in.
There's also several "electric blues" artists keepin' "classic rock" alive and well... try Beth Hart, Joe Lynn Turner, and Joe Bonamassa.
