In the 90s I worked for a network affiliate station and a public access station at a college. My college directors called shots better than the network. It was always fun doing Hitchcock dolly/focus shots on the news.

I gotta toughen up this shoulder. I forgot about 12ga. recoil.

Posting for no particular reason.

Shotgun day was a learning experience for everyone. I hadn't shot mine since 1996 when everyone in the duck blind got food poisoning. Ladyfriend did not enjoy, room much thump even with light dove loads. Kiddo did fine but wasn't a fan of the suppressed AR gas face. Expensive noise made, kinda fun.

Y'all, I used to basically shotgun a Dew before bed. Now I'll have some caffeine and a melatonin for some interesting dreams.

ANGH.

Having shotgun day at the family range tomorrow. Been a long time since I broke my 870s out.

Choo-choo!

Ever see a cinnamon toast crunch egg?

Should I record a crust punk album with a six string fretless bass? No. Am I? Of course.

Haven't had a lot of great days being a home owner this year. Today: it's 84° INSIDE and seems like out A/C has shit the bed. Clean filter. Clean condenser coils. Just the best feeling.

My sleep paralysis demon.

If you're at a punk show and can't find the train kids are you the train kid ?

I had a dream last night. During this dream someone kept trying to convince me AC/DC's "Highway To Hell" is about a cheeseburger.

I don't work out nearly enough. Wrangling an 810 while sweaty is a c h o r e .

Gotta pick up a bag of fall mix for stir fry.

I hate being allergic to "fresh air." Every year, for the first two weeks of September my body tries to cough itself out inside out. All because of hay harvesting. Kinda makes me miss city living.

Former employer is trying some interesting ways to recruit me to come back. They offered $1/hr above what they were paying me...in 2012. Told them to double it, add 50%, four weeks of vacation, and to shove it up their ass.

Song has no business going as hard as it does. But it does.

Thanks LinkedIn, glad my extensive work history in creative fields qualifies me to work at Steak and Shake.

The gentle sound of a doberman howling at passing sirens.

AI punks fuck off

Doing an event next month and I'm stumped on something. I've never done an indoor event or one that doesn't allow tents. All of my display fixtures hang from my tent frame and very little room is left on the table top. Need low-budget DIY ideas for freestanding t-shirt and poster display.

If you're new, definitely be sure to binge my playlist for newbies.

It would be so easy to convince Joe Rogan to go snipe hunting.

Morning. Rise and lol. Or, whatever.

Taps the repost button. If you can't, or have reasons to not, there are so many other options. But knowing how to operate safely is still valid and important.

Got two punk rock flea markets coming up in October and November. I haven't unpacked from the last one in December of last year. Do I wing it on what I have, do inventory and order more, or just make new things instead of reorders?

If Charlie Brown grew tomatoes.

If you can afford it, afford feeding and housing it, and afford training with it, yesterday was the day. Today works too.

Get yourself a fountain pen. Nothing could possibly go wrong. Also, get a black desk mat. IYKYK. I like the Jinhao 159 and TWSBI Eco Extra Fine.

Hay bailing season is dumb. I've blown my nose so much my thighs hurt. I've sneezed so hard I'm at least a half inch taller.

Came home from an outdoor music festival sick. Is it allergies? Is it the crud? Who knows.

Me, after giving all my cash to other musicians.

When the guitarist is rocking an aluminum neck Hello Kitty you gonna die in that pit. 👍🏻👍🏻

How many festivals you know of with a song written about it?

Heh.

It's 2025. If you're still repping Leftover Crack, Choking Victim or any Stza project you need self reflection.

Eat pizza. Listen to Triangle Fire. It's part of a balanced life.

Kids in the ska pit. The kids are alright.

Didn't want a Glong. Chill bro tho.
