Reality check, Stevie is not showing the amount of enthusiasm required, and I have a new contact. Most musician posts are vague, but I recognize the phone number. It’s that guy from Auburndale who had just joined a band last time I replied, around the time I teamed up with the Prez. I got twenty bucks says, like the bands I put together, it didn’t last the year and looks like are both back in the market. Memory does not serve me with names and faces, but if I get ahold of his song list, I’ll know right away if it’s who I think. I hope it is.
It’s staying unusually cold so last evening I found a corny war movie, “Hell in Normandy”. Hilarious, as it must have used the already fake Hollywood portrayals of war for research. High ranking officers bunched up in cars (but at least it was a real Kubelwagen, pictured here) driving in open fields in daylight. And the motorcycle patrols wearing SS major-general uniforms festooned with iron crosses. I once studied this “German jeep”, the work Kubel is short for “bucket seat”, designed to prevent riders from falling out. Designed by Ferdinand himself, it was ideal for its intended purpose. This pic is a later model, the original had no doors, also meant to keep passengers from being ejected. There are rumors this worked a lot of the time.
The total average inflation caused by Biden appears to be 21%. But for items most people are pretty much compelled to by, it is 40%. I wonder why nobody has ever published the connection between over-printing money and credit cards. Both are the same, spending what isn’t really there. Retrieving pics from my game camera finds only 54 pictures of me caught near the coffee maker in my pajamas. Are game cams the last to get A.I.?
California’s lastest budget grants free medical to illegals “of any age”, while imposing a $900 tax on any adult who remains uninsured. As WorldNet puts it, that is 28 times more on illegal immigrants that the state spends on law enforcement. New Jersey voting stations are getting bomb threats—but only those in known Republican districts. And LinkedIn, the app I warned about years ago, will use your data to “train A.I.” unless you opt out. Then it will use your data anyway. Remember GenXers, the data belongs to them. And people with high cholesterol do not get dementia. The brain is made of cholesterol.
Finally, I found a full version of the guitar song that cost United Airlines almost $200 million in stock losses. It was way back in ’08, the airline ground crew snapped the neck on his Taylor and gave him the runaround for a year before denying his claim. Lots of partials exist, but here is the link to the whole song. Careful, it is a youTube video, so mind you settings and turn off autoplay. The incident has become a Harvard law school case study. Serves then right.
And as far as I’m concerned, the airlines can hire their own air traffic controllers.

3:30PM and the last adjustment on the floor did not take long. It want 5/8”, enough to be detectable inside, so I was in the dirt for 20 minutes. While that settles, I decided to salvage the leather handle and the extension handle off my old airline case, which I have not used in 22 years. The type where one of the two zippers always jams. Man was that suck built. Stainless steel frame, plywood ribs, and metal rods that required bolt cutters. This pic shows the tools, the luggage carcass, and the small wooded box for the 30-ton. So I can drag that tool without lifting it. Alls I can say is they knew how to make luggage back in the day.
Both the stove and the kitchen A/C went kaput around the same time and the combination is necessary to bake anything in the summertime. So I did not miss having an oven over the summer. Unwise as it is to predict, this could be a chilly winter, so put me down for another hour and a half on that floor. The hard part is done over this last week. At the rate I perceive my own decline, I have around 4 or 5 years left where I can possibly move or lift anything.
Alas, the time did not allow my dreams to come true. That 5/8” difference was exactly where I could not leave it, the afternoon’s allocation was fixing it. That’s the same spot the fat lady fell through. I had to finally accept there are two levels in that kitchen and they are off by that measurement. This still means the full amount of time is needed to lift and later replace the flooring for that little bit of work. So the subfloor can wait until morning.
This just in, voting machines are down in New Jersey, but only in known red voting districts. In Germany, nationalist candidates continue to die when they are about to win elections. In New York, the socialist candidate’s name appears twice on the ballots. Somebody is SWATing the NYC polling stations and calling in bomb threats in New Jersey. All telltale signs things are not going as the left has planned. I would advise all White New Yorkers to leave immediately except we don’t them here, either.
After dark, an easy thing to do just now, I took the jigsaw out to the club, a donation to the new guy. He just bought in the south end and everything affordable these days is a fixer-upper. Lacking country music, the place was dead. Our marketing lady was there which was prime time to talk business. Until this married jackass showed up trying to pull the old “harmless” hustle. That constant uncalled-for one-upmanship over anything you and the lady mention. We managed and here is what I gather.
She (my marketing lady) has two brothers who contract to the State for emergency services. This means they have tons of trees to cut and lots of lumber. It does not sound like wood I can use. Always check these things out, since my system setup here is pretty flexible and a lot of trees that get knocked down are exotics lacking an adequate root system.
ADDENDUM
Canada’s new C-8 law will allow Ottawa to remotely and secretly cut off any individual’s Internet access. YouTube is now censoring any videos that show how to bypass the Win 11 login. Because Win 11 in spyware and logging on gives them full access to your documents and photos. I see the danger of unrequested updates remains, I wish they would outlaw that. My switch is turned off, with a setting to only perform updates I permit. Something supposed to suppress those annoying requests to allow tracking will not delete, and it has disabled my playback speed controls.
Trivia. Most wasabi is fake. The authentic plant is difficult to grow, so most American wasabi is ordinary local horseradish dyed green.
