Guitar Work

As I was cleaning up my computer, I found tons of images of guitars I've owned, and most I've built or fixed. I think it can be a thing here for many weeks, as I gear up to finish my next two. First up is a Lap Steel I built. I have no idea what … Continue reading Guitar Work →

Fall is Here for Real

A cold front rolled into town, and the weather turned glorious. I was out walking the dogs last weekend, and it was downright chilly. The dogs love this weather. They aren't the only ones. Lot of days ahead, clear and sunny like this. I came back from this walk and put on jeans for the … Continue reading Fall is Here for Real →

Remember?

Remember when plumbing fittings weren't made of badly plated chinesium? I"ve been in buildings and houses with original fittings 50+ years old. Nickel plated brass. Slightly worn, but still in good shape. I bought a '64 Cadillac hearse long ago. The bumpers polished up like new. When polished and waxed, the paint shined and looked … Continue reading Remember? →

It's been cooler in the morning lately. Aria spends all morning watching and chasing squirrels.

No Kings, My Ass

Honestly, I forgot about this. It's not a thing around here. As a matter of fact, when I sized up the map, the closest one to me would … Continue reading No Kings, My Ass →

Life Finds a Way

Saw this whilst walking the dogs. Cracked me up: The prettier bunch of flowers busted through the crack in the curb, and is growing in a pile of curb detris. Wish my plants were so motivated.

Moving Slow

Monday was a holiday. A badly needed one for me. You see, I'm rarely home on the weekends. So if I can't do housework in the evenings I have free, it doesn't get done. The last few weeks, I've been busy every weeknight. So the house was a mess. So was the monster truck. So … Continue reading Moving Slow →

What’s Worse?

I was chatting with my sister the other day, catching up, and she said something funny that resonated. "At least you've been through the worst, cancer. I said cancer wasn't the worst thing, For me, divorce was far, far worse. Cancer I was diagnosed with throat cancer. When that happened, all sorts of wheels started … Continue reading What’s Worse? →

As if…

...I needed another hobby. Behold: That there is a laser cutting/engraving tool. I'm still figuring out the software. The control software came with it. The design software is going to set me back another Benjamin. At least it's a perpetual license. I'll look and see if there's Linux freeware. I'm sure there is. I have … Continue reading As if… →
