It was a long weekend, and a busy week. I hadn't planned on having to clean the old house, but that's what needed to be done to get my security deposit back Sunday. Slumlord is holding the pet deposit based on final cleaning (meaning all the crap I stuffed in the garage.) Most of it … Continue reading Getting Settled

Refugee Moving
The best-laid schemes of mice and men. I'm readying to move. Got the new house. Packing up the old house. I rented the new place a month in advance so I wouldn't have to refugee move. I said that on a call this week and one of my coworkers asked what a refugee move was. … Continue reading Refugee Moving
Another Rogan Interview
JD Vance took Harris' spot on Rogan. Another long interview that seemed short as hell. I listened to it while working. He was better than Trump. A normal dude. Smart, that can talk on any number of subjects. Didn't flinch one bit, even when Rogan went into his 'shrooms and weed should be legal schtick. … Continue reading Another Rogan Interview
Project Update
I had some time off last week, so I finally got back to the guitar and bass projects. Sanded down to 800 grit, then sanding sealer applied. Hell, it looks good like that. I've already sanded it again and added the second coat of sealer. The sealer is needed to keep the lacquer from sinking … Continue reading Project Update
Email Hygiene
I got one of those funny emails this week. You know the ones where some 'master hacker' says he owns your machine and has vidya of you wanking he's going to distribute to your contact list unless you send some bitcoin. Yeah. That would be some amazing hack, by the way. I don't do pron. … Continue reading Email Hygiene
The Indispensable Man
What has it been? A week since hubris made me gloat about being old and with it. Well, Nemesis is here and she's beaten me on the souls of my feet. I was helping my daughter build a clubhouse for the grandkids most of the day. Bugged out at the end of the day, figuring … Continue reading The Indispensable Man
I Need Me a Towrolla
Lately, in my head is the idea to build a tow-rolla: Found on Puddin's Fab Shop, on the youtubes. https://youtu.be/aQpoBhPrIGw?si=8KTY5Rx51ox0Hmkq Damn those cars are tough. He's been pulling and pushing cars with it like a tractor. The ATF? Looking Ok. almost normal. Did you read that famous Craigslist ad? Let me tell you a story. … Continue reading I Need Me a Towrolla
Underpowered & Underweight
The monster truck needed maintenance. Normally, I change the oil, check/fill the fluids, and lube at 3000 miles. It's a habit, even though I'm using synthetic and can go longer. In this case, nearly 5K. Problem is, it's hot as shit in the evenings when I have time to do this. No matter. Had to … Continue reading Underpowered & Underweight
Again?
I headed out on the bike for my normal Monday ride at lunch. It was hot as hell. As I crossed the big intersection near my house, I was thinking, "Nah, I don't need a repair kit on the bike. I don't go far enough that I can't walk back. Maybe if I go off … Continue reading Again?
Project Update: The Sanding
I don't know where I'm going with the bass here: I tried to do the black stain then sand thing I did on this guitar: But it wasn't the same kind of wood. So what I got is a stressed look. I think I'm going to use blue tinted laquer, and see where it goes. … Continue reading Project Update: The Sanding
