I keep a ball peen hammer in the trunk of the Plodge in case it becomes necessary for me to excercise that right under the law.
And it all started with his mom “monkeying" around in the kitchen with paints
& a blender.
Sorry!

I could no more leave these three alone in a car- hot or otherwise- than leave a baby alone in a car.
Our former neighbor and still very close friend has an English Springer Spaniel who has spent, at-least, a third of his life with us for various reasons. I know this dog better than any dog I've ever known and can tell from how he's walking to how he holds his head what he needs / wants / is bothering him / etc.
A few years back, I'm walking him in Central Park on a very warm spring day when they hadn't yet turned on the water fountains (and dog fountains - yup, we got those). About an hour in, I'm turning back and look down at the little fella and can tell the heat has hit him hard. Usually, at this point, I'd get him some water to drink and, then, pour some on his head and body (rub some on his belly) and he picks right up.
But, again, all the fountains are off. Then, naturally, I see a ice-cream, soda, water vendor, which I usually ignore because the ones in the Park are so expensive. A small Poland Spring bottle costs about $3 if memory serves. As an aside, while the prices are high and even though some of the vendors own their carts, they barely make enough to survive - it's a tough business and a hardscrabble existence. Which is why I tip the few times I buy something from them as you never know if this guy owns his cart or not.
Anyway, I look back down at my dog and he's dying down there, over at the vendor, back at the dog and, well you know where this is going: $3 later and I'm using one hand as a bowl for him to lap up the water. Then, I use the last half of the bottle to pour over his head and back and to rub some on his belly. At this point, he is completely reinvigorated. As I stand up, I notice that the vendor has watched this entire event.
Okay, while I have nothing to complain about, my girlfriend and I do not live a NYC lifestyle -we're pretty frugal, and have to be, but to that vendor, at that moment, I'm just another *sshole New Yorker with more money than sense who just spent $3 to give his dog some water while the vendor scrapes and saves every penny just to get by.
Unfortunately, I can not fix STEARMAN, since some one beat me to it! Sad thing, he almost never post on here.Thanks!
That only leaves Stearmen
Soon as he finishes I’ll let him know.
Nesmith himself also made a lot of money in early video which is why he never did any of the Monkey's reunion tours.
Well, last time until he dies, when the headlines will read, "one of the Monkee's died today!"While he did not participate anywhere near the degree that Dolenz, Jones and Tork did, Nesmith did in fact take part in several one-off concerts and half a dozen tours of varying lengths, as recently as 2012 and 2015 and indeed he is expected at the final concert this year, in fact September 16th, though he has announced that this will be his last time ever appearing as a Monkee.

I stand corrected - the few times I saw them in the '80s, he wasn't with them and I thought I had read that he didn't play with them because he didn't need to, but clearly I was wrong about him never playing with them.
Not a criticism, he was low key and usually "busy with other projects". Most of the time it was the threesome of Jones, Dolenz and Tork, and recently of course the duo of D&T with Davy's sad young passing. I remember the first big comeback in '86 just as I was finishing high school. I got into 60s music before (then) current fashions and I'd watched the show in re-runs as a kid (I still remember trying that cross legged walk they did with my friend Billy Hooper), so that was a big deal for me, though I couldn't manage tickets.
I was around when they came out. I think their music was better than what they got credit for at the time, to a large extent because the TV show was just too silly. For my part the show hurt my impression of their music.I just noticed an interesting thing about the Monkee's. It appears that a lot of their fans were either to young or not born while their show was new. Most of the people I know who were around during first run, either hate them, or like my self, are just not fans. I wounder why? Were we just spoiled with so many top groups that they just got lost in the shuffle? Did we all buy into the "Prefab Four" line? Just curious what others think?

When I hear their music on the radio today I think it's at least above average.
