Retired engineer (or at least that’s what they called me), woodworker of sorts, occasional doodler, dreamer. Living the life in Houston, TX. Him, he, hey you.
In my opinion, a pleasant listen for a Sunday night.

It’s delightfully overcast in my sector this evening, so this is as close as I’m getting to seeing tonight’s super moon. 🤨

It’s a chilly and wet evening in my sector. Just dropped needle on a 52 year-old LP that I purchased new.
I might have a few years behind me. Externally, anyways.

Spent a day in San Antonio, one stop was the Alamo. Pieces from Phil Collins’ collection of Texas Revolution artifacts (and others) are on display in a new building.
Next day toured Natural Bridge Cavern, I hadn’t been there in 25 or so years. Do stop if you’re ever nearby, it’s a treat.

Got to see the ISS overhead this evening, it zipping along at 17,500 mph.
Chances of seeing northern lights, most likely zero at my latitude while in city. I could drive an hour north for a better chance.
I think I’ll just wait for people to post images.

Treasures from the storage closet. A Brownie camera from around 1946 and a Minolta from 1956.
I’ve run a roll of film through the Minolta- it has some lens degradation so the photos have some haze. Maybe I’ll try the Brownie for some grins.

It’s been a good day. Got the oil in my gf’s vehicle changed, sorted a closet, did laundry to get it out of the way for the weekend, and there’s a pot of chili simmering on the stove. Time to relax.

Going through photos, this was fifteen years ago. Damn.
We were right in front of the right hand side speaker stack. My hearing was affected for days. And probably still is.

Meanwhile, I went to an airshow last weekend and enjoyed listening to the sound of multiple round engines.
Photos were taken by me. Nikon D850 with 200-500 telephoto lens.
Then went to see the Lost Austin band that evening. Bunch of old dudes that play real good.

In a way, I’m rooting for Toronto to go on and win the World Series as a big F-U to Diarrhea donnie.
I’d be ok with Seattle winning as a runner-up F-U.

One week ago, I was at the Plain of Six Glaciers near Lake Louise, CA. The rock wall is not close, it’s a distance away and very tall. The glaciers are retreating, another hiker told me he had been there 30 years ago and was shocked to see them now. Elev is 7900ft where I took the photo.

What, oh what has the president done,
demanding tariffs and fees?
With his make-up so bright
and Depends pulled up tight,
he’s out of his mind, can’t they see?
(Sung to the tune “Where Has My Little Dog Gone”)
Sometimes these just pop into my head. I’ll sit and be quiet now.

It’s 91F, 29% humidity, a pleasant breeze is pushing the leaves around. Chamber of Commerce weather for Houston. Just don’t visit in August.
Best part- no mosquitos! It has been dry lately, poor things.

I’m traveling to Canada soon to go see stuff.
I need to find out if there’s a place that sells “I didn’t vote for the hoser” buttons so I can get one to wear so they’ll let me pass through customs when I arrive.

Drove to Austin and back this weekend. Good visit with fam.
Only problem was that I drove angry the entire time. The trigger was seeing American flags at half-staff because Big Dump ordered it for that guy.
I do not agree with or condone what happened. But treating him as a hero is wrong.

If the maga asshat that stopped lead today would have been seriously impaired instead of being rendered unalive, would he have changed his tune about nug control?
And then Big Dump ordering flags half staff for him really pisses me off. Cheapens the gesture by doing it for undeserving people.

A little paint touch-up, test glue bond on lines, almost ready to call the ship done.
I might try a light tan colored wash on the sails, they’re too “white” for canvas that’s been out in the elements. Will practice on some spare material before committing to potentially screwing something up.

Watching network tee-vee (retching noise) for the foozebawl. Sound off, my music (P. Floyd “Yet Another Movie” right now) playing loud.
Car commercials annoy the piss outta me. Drive irresponsibly in the desert or downtown at night with a smug look on your face and you’ll be popular.
Fuck.

Finally got to the point where it was time to check fit- mainsails in place, critical rigging and such added, does it fold down?!? It does!!!
Now it’s tedious ratline work, install the rest of the sails, and figure out the “sea” in the bottle. Plumbers putty and oil paint- what can go wrong?

Enjoying the outside this evening at a local brewery. Came for the food truck as I was desiring a cheeseburger, stayed for the brews.
It’s a pleasant evening by Houston standards, storm blew thru earlier followed by dryer air which is always a blessing around here.
Btw, djt is forever a pos.
