One year ago today: June 9, 2025, medieval speeds.
Five years ago today: June 9, 2021, a generic day.
Nine years ago today: June 9, 2017, splinters on my roof.
Random years ago today: June 9, 2018, they are bureaucrats.
The most nothing Tuesday on record. I awoke with a tugging sensation near my shoulders. So I made porridge and crawled back in the sack till 2:00 PM. After that, I managed to stain a couple boxes and made two saw cuts. I repaired some older boxes and barely had the zip left to stain a couple boxes. I wish I had more for you but nope, I’m that tired. Worse, it was what I recognize as “hospital tired” so don’t wait around for things to pic up.. Today is a goner.
I texted the Reb to get the car A/C fixed out of my account. Whereas I have no aversion to sweaty gals if they are slim and pretty, I can’t have that on my watch. Not with that recording contract in effect in the background. Car repairs have to be okayed by me, but I thought it over and it’s probably a small repair, probably a leak. We will not have time to visit this trip, so at least I can make things comfortable. With just the one doggie left, now a registered companion, he now travels with her. So I may not even see my own dog, well, actually, half-mine.
The good news is Ricko, the guitarist, and I have arrived at a song list, 28 songs. He is also a convert to the three set gig, important because many oldtimers still want four sets. Not for me, not in the past 20 years. We went over the list by phone, and the good news is that he confirms me sings every tune on his list. Good, around a third of them are “specials”, which is just another term for tunes that I have already arranged for duo work, which gives his presentation a big boost. To get things running, over half the tunes will be his but that includes the overlap of tunes I could sing if I had to.
We slated a rehearsal tomorrow, but no sure thing unless he can get the car. Or I could got there, he’s just north of Ariana where Randy the drummer used to live. Dang, why did I not jot down the name of the community center lady? I’ll drive past, but their hall is kind of big for a duo, we’ll see if something can be worked out.
That’s it. I’m too zonked. Nappies, but I woke up around 8:30PM and watched a documentary on tea, a kind of weird but captivating story with excellent animations. I’ll pass on the original brew made with onions and ginger, but I’ll put some on, maybe perk me up. Perk, ha-ha. This video marks the first time in Internet history I have heard anyone correctly pronounce the word “codify”.
Overall, the video was too much about Asian rituals and not enough tea story. I don’t buy the legend it was discovered when leave fell into a boiling pot. Knowing Chinese history enough, I would guess that there is nothing over there somebody at some point did not boil in a pot in a fit of starvation.

It remained a perfect 78°F, so I worked in the kitchen giving every handy box a layer or two of poly finish. Here are the three largest, once again “junk” boxes, meaning they hold whatever fits because they were not built for any specific purpose.
We have a new mystery bird and the auto-focus on the Vivitar cannot be disabled. So no picture. It is a brownish-orange bird, around the size of a large robin. It does not use the feeder, but seems to spear the ground with its beak, then flip the dirt.
The track meet murderer gets 35 years. 2061 is a good year, the cost to the taxpayer is $2.2 million in that time. His family should be cut off welfare for causing public disturbances, since they knew damn well he was guilty. Some smart aleck maintained the real criminal was the accused’s hair stylist. And news from Ireland shows hints of the old spirit, with protestors dressed in identical clothing, wearing masks, and targeting specific properties. Is this just the beginning?
The FCC wants burner phones outlawed, that all new phones must require government ID and be linked to a verifiable residential address. Between January and April, European ground stations report 75 instances of the GPS signal interference (jamming) that coincided with Russian satellite “constellations".
