Shit. Tree and power lines down across the entrance to my court. Just got off shift @ 11pm and I can't get home. Well, I can get 3 houses away.

I just finished watching "The Ambassador's Daughter" with Myrna Loy. I've always thought she was stunning (I love the "Thin Man" movies) but in color she is just drop-dead gorgeous.

New complete hot water dispenser installed and I'm beat. We've gone thru 2 Insinkerator instant hot dispensers in 10 years as there's a known design flaw and they won't address. New brand is Joneca, design does NOT have a comparable defective part and half the price.

Dear game app developers: Understand that if I download your game it's because I want to escape for a while. If your app model is 20 seconds of game for every 30 seconds of ads, it's not a game or escape. It's a revenue generator. This year I will be noting which devs do this and sanction them.

Been a long time. Bought on a whim, this ruby is quite nice. Good decision. Nice story regarding myself and Port if anyone is interested. (Yes that's one of my Glenmorangie snifters - didn't want to dig for a better glass)

Removed the first full-range 1/4" jack from the Peavey cabinet, and it is NOT a straightforward mono or stereo jack like I was expecting. No, it is pretty much exclusive to Peavey, with a NC *and* NO circuits inside (3 conductor + ground). Audio Labs in GA - yes I bought out ALL of your stock.

As there's a ... few... more users now than when I first posted this, I want to re-up and maybe get more traction this time. I'd love to get this back to a rightful owner!

Alright... the time has come to evaluate and restore my Peavey 1516 full/bi-amp cab. I already have some leads (heh) on chronic trouble spots, and as the original 8"s are gone I'm thinking of a matched pair to replace.

Why yes, yes indeed! "Hercules Against Karate" (1973) is meeting expectations.

Gotta say, I was very impressed with this spider's ambition. [hummingbirds were not as impressed...]

Well, that ended fast. House spider 0 Gretchen the downstairs kitty 1 [wouldn't exactly call it 'fast' food, even with 8 legs...]

OK, so I went on a bender and created a 'greenhouse' level on my capital ship in No Man's Sky, maxed out the number of rooms I could build, and planted AT LEAST two complete rows of each plant type. Harvested today. One harvest will net me 42,691,449 units. [of course most of it is nipnip...]

Dang, I should clean my grinder a little more often...

I just don't understand why the scroll wheel doesn't work as well as it used to...

Well, this is turning into an experience. First time taking SuPrep (about 3 hours ago) and I guess everyone is right - even though I've been fasting for the last few days... [IYKYK]

Well, after several days of sub-freezing weather the hummingbird feeder has been replenished. I felt bad watching them land and check *every* port as they were frozen shut. Made the juice a bit sweeter as they need the calories right now, and the male Ruby-Throated swarmed me as I was replacing it.

@jovergaard.bsky.social Just outta curiosity, do the names Billie & Marty mean anything to you?

YES! Matched pair of L-90s, 4 Henry for neck and 6 Henry for bridge. Best pups I've ever used, been rocking a Lawrence in my P-bass since the late '80s... even took time to track down stacked OBL HBs for my Tele...

Guess I'm a few weeks overdue on the annual un-furring of my receiver.

Please share

Welp, these are soon to be on the way... Hope they fit. www.wildepickups.com/products/hol...

Okay Boomer. (My first time using this brand, normally use Markley 'Blue Steel')

Dang, something just set off a pack of coyotes in my backyard. I'm a quarter-mile from downtown. Thank you, connected green spaces!

Well, that didn't take long. Unfollowed a certain cold-war 'curmudgeon' as he feels the need to be that "well ackshully" guy regarding President Carter. I get it - you area of expertise gives you insight into the 'missteps' of his administration but now is not the time. Read the room.

Huh. Dug this bad (old) boy up when I was excavating the man cave for something. Wonder if I can repurpose it? It's amazing to me how far things have advanced in ~ 16 years.

If I choose to follow you, I will not be offended in the least if you don't follow me back. Same policy as that other site.

"The Lost Empire", 1984. This is going to be gloriously horrible, but the opening scene was of cleavage. I reserve hope. There will be 'female gladiatorial fights'. (Apparently they didn't worry about the camera being in focus in the '80s) www.imdb.com/title/tt0089...

I like nights like this. It's mildly creepy and very quiet. (The light enhancement doesn't do the fog justice...)[stupid phone's smarter than I am.]

So. Been reflecting on the debate and aftermath. My own personal view - as a middle-aged cis white married male who is non-party-affliated - it's more than just the presidency. I will hold my nose and vote Dem because the cons have lost their minds.

OK Sky People I need some crowd help. My late Father was a blade collector for most of his life, and I inherited many interesting pieces. One is a ceremonial sword with a man's name etched in the blade. I would like to return it to the family of the owner. I have tried my best to find...
