Last week or so, my Japanese Maple sprouted. Nice to see that the arctic blast that hit here in February didn't appear to hurt it whatsoever, unlike my Olive trees. Then again, I looked at the Olives and the main trunks don't appear freeze dried. I scratched them and noticed green, so they may recover … Continue reading All is Not Lost

Pop Music is Dead
I was bartending at a charity affair the other night which had a decent group from the church play. Mostly they did big band and jazz pieces. Most the guys are old and play well. They even sang some tunes, or tried to, God Bless 'em. At one point they played "Heard it on the … Continue reading Pop Music is Dead
Post Freeze Cleanup
The only thing from the big freeze that I had to deal with, is to fix the washer plumbing properly. When a SharkBite connector failed, I simply went to the store to get another and slapped it on. It still dripped because the copper was a mess. My quick fix The jacked up pipe where … Continue reading Post Freeze Cleanup

Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers but by their neighbors...even by children."Because history is edited, most people today dont realize that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews. How is … Continue reading Monday Quote
Yet another critter
Awhile back I did a post on the destructors. My three dogs. But I forgot one of the other creatures that live here. So I thought add her. But first, look at this doofus: Always wants a ride Whenever I open a car door, the doofus Jasper jumps in. You see car=fun, so if I … Continue reading Yet another critter
Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

And in no time flat the usual suspects started with their arm flapping and garment rending. You can read it here courtesy of gunfreezone.com, because I'm too lazy to insert the original stuff and can't be bothered. … Continue reading Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon

I played a 5-string jazz bass for awhile. It weighed a few hundred pounds. Worth it for the sound. When I got through with … Continue reading Monday Music
I feel safer
I saw this on Ace of Spades. Looks like they've cranked up the drones start bombing people again in the Middle East. This has me gape jawed Trust the Biden and his team's competence? What the hell! I don't even trust the man to know where he is or what he's doing any given minute … Continue reading I feel safer
Going to be a Great Weekend
It's late in the day on a Friday. I'm pretty much done for the week, my backups are running, and Aria is nudging my elbow. The one attached to the shoulder that had surgery. She's trying to tell me that it's will be time to put my feet up, and plan out the weekend. All … Continue reading Going to be a Great Weekend
Heat is discomfort cold is pain.
Before I start, let me explain the title. Back in my misguided youth I worked on commercial sound systems, Muzak to be exact. It was actually a cool job. For every food store or office I'd install, I'd have 2-3 bars. I can't explain to anyone not a musician how cool it is to light … Continue reading Heat is discomfort cold is pain.
