Friday Music
I'm sure I've posted this before. But I'm old and forget shit. https://youtu.be/1YQkRFzOMEQ For the uninititated, a 12 string guitar has roughly double the string tension of a six string. An Acoustic has a higher (generally) action than an electric. When you play a 12 string, you notice straight away that you don't have the … Continue reading Friday Music
Yin & Yang
I've seen Yin/Yang described as chaos and order, crisis and opportunity. I got tired of trying to look it up. So the hell with it. Witness Chaos: What you see here is the cleanup process of a toolbox dump. I have a toolbox that handles irrigation - sprinkler parts, hose parts, tools, and a few … Continue reading Yin & Yang
Tell the Beetle to Shuddup
Robert Francis (AKA Beto) O'Rourke was apparently at a school of some sort, flapping his lips about education (h/t Divemedic): https://twitter.com/RNCResearch/status/1554960448616800256 O'Rourke is, of course, an idiot whose only accomplishments seem to be growing up affluent and marrying into money. He's a nobody former backbencher in congress for a few terms that appeals to the … Continue reading Tell the Beetle to Shuddup
Way to Go, Granny Winebox
What is granny winebox doing going to Taiwan? Antagonizing the Chinese, for sure, that's what. All over talk radio, and in the press, like where I linked, I hear "We can do anything we want, We're Americans". Really? Even though they've been threatening? They don't appear to be bluffing. Will they shoot her down? Probably … Continue reading Way to Go, Granny Winebox

Nothing got done yesterday but doctors appointments and running around. I had a gut doc followup from an upper GI scope a few … Continue reading Off to a Weak Start
Get’r Done
After a few weeks hiatus, the fellas showed up and got started on the street in front of my house. Dude showed up in a bobcat with a hammer one Friday, beat the concrete silly. First thing Monday the big gear showed up and removed the other half of the street. Right on their heels … Continue reading Get’r Done
Third World Enterprise
There's a certain type of person you run into any time you are trying to do anything that time means nothing. Nor, apparently do the words "Appointment" and "Reservation" mean much either. Jerry Seinfeld did a bit about this on his show. I had fender bender (actually more of a door bender) with my car. … Continue reading Third World Enterprise
I seen it
Got a belly laugh from this... I've seen this happen. I know two people that migrated from the west coast a few years ago, and didn't last the summer. And it wasn't even that hot.
DAMMIT!
Not at all what I wanted to see when I went out to my car Sunday Morning. What you see in front of you is an inner fender that's been on the car maybe a month or so. What's different this time is the chunck of wiring you see, as well as the deep teeth … Continue reading DAMMIT!
