Supermarket Smoke part 4

 The super cold weather (wind chills in the minus 15 area) has been playing havoc with my car, which for the third consecutive day took multiple tries to start.  But start it eventually did, and I was able to go to the Studio to work on the latest block.  Last time I left the block there, so this time I didn't have to carry it with me.  For the second time, someone parked their car at an angle across two spaces, but there is always a handicapped spot available and I have the right hang tag to use it.  

Today I was working on the tree and smoke, some of it very detailed work, but I have the right tools to do it.  I did all the small branches, including those across part of the store, and those across the smoke.  For now I left the main trunk and limbs alone, but I'll look at the photo one more time before I cut it.  Results of today's work can be seen below:

For music today, something from the storage box, two albums from Bad Brains.  This box I took home has early alphabetical (a holdover from my radio days) discs starting with A and going through some (but not all) of my Beatles collection, and so that means Bad Brains are part of what I have.  The band is an odd one, a mix of hardcore thrash punk (they are considered one of the founders) and dub reggae, and they switch often between the two, at a rate of about 3:1 on the albums I have. What I brought today are label burned copies of ATTITUDE The ROIR Sessions  (essentially their first album, released as a tape in 1982) and The Youth Are Getting Restless, a live album recorded in 1987.  Of the two, I tend to prefer the early one- it's very raw, but feels more like those early punk days.  However, the pair made for good working music, which is what I was after today.
