Digging into my vinyl collection again. Forgot how good this one was.
A photo of the album cover for Delta Blues Volume 1 by Robert Johnson. The cover is mostly white, with a washed out black and white photo of Johnson, staring into the camera lens, a cigarette hanging out the corner of his mouth, and the neck of his guitar visible in the bottom right. The album title is in black and white text at the top right.

Found on fb.
A photo, taken from above of a row of rubbish bins, with one section opened up, and 2 police standing inside. The picture has a caption above that reads, "Rare picture of a trash can giving birth to two cops."

Made some progress yesterday getting this 35 year old turntable playing properly. Pulled the bottom off and got some oil into the motor and now it spins at proper speed. Original rubber slip mat disintegrated, so I need to replace that. But it will be nice to listen to vinyl again.
My old record player sitting in its home on top of the rest of my stereo system. The lid is currently off while I reattach one of the hinges.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it
The cover of Bob Dylan's album, The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan. The cover shows Dylan and his girlfriend of the time walking arm in arm in the middle of a snowy New York street. Each side of them we see vehicles parked and apartments lining each side of the street.

A photo of the garden. The light on the trees is golden late afternoon sun. In the background a palm tree reaches out the top of the frame. In front of the palm a poinsettia tree spreads out, green leaves contrasted with the red flowers. In the foreground we see a fence and garden behind a swimming pool which juts in from left of frame.

The meme of the grim reaper operating the claw machine. Text at the top days "Dick Cheney?!?" And in large green capital letters down the bottom of the picture it says "FUCK YEAH!!!"

Todays shirt choice. I don't use fabric softener but I need to feel sexy.
A photo of a black tee shirt with yellow text that says "Fabric Softener is the Secret to my Sexiness" with the name of the band The Disgruntled Taxpayers written underneath.

Road trip to Ipswich anyone?
A screenshot from Facebook from a page dedicated to finding good potato scallops or fritters or cakes or whatever you want to call them. The photos show the scallops at Booval Seafood in the suburb of Silkstone in Ipswich. The scallops are hand made and battered and look amazing.

A view of the storm that's hit Magandjin/Brisbane this afternoon. Quite impressive structure. But a lot of people have been hit by large hailstones.
A panoramic photo taken in the street outside my house, looking south towards Brisbane, showing the structure in the storm cell that has hit today the 26th October.

Anyone want to buy a fridge?
A screenshot of a Facebook marketplace ad, showing a white SMEG brand refrigerator. The ad however has it listed as a Smegma fridge at the price of £99.

Problem solved with the $39 Laser DVD/CD player. I thought this little banger of a compilation was an appropriate way to get back into my CD library.
A photo of a cd/dvd player sitting atop my existing stereo system, with a copy of the "Do the Pop" compilation, a compilation of Australian Garage Rock Sound 1975-1987 sitting next to it.

If you're off to demolish the white house, why not bring the right equipment.
A picture of the "killdozer," a bulldozer covered in homemade armour, which was used by Marvin Heemeyer in Granby, Colorado to demolish the city hall and the house of the mayor and other buildings due to a dispute.

Like me, my bike sits and dreams of the day we shall be able to ride again.
A photo. The front of my motorbike pokes out from beneath its grey cover. The front end, wheel, headlight and engine are visible. It sits in the yard , parked on the pavers, a small orange ball resting against the wheel.

Stolen from fb.
A black and white poster. At the top it says ACAB, below this it says "All cats are beautiful." Beneath this on the left is a burning cop car seen front on, and in the foreground on the right is a rioter dressed in a hoodie and wearing a ski mask and holding a large fluffy cat.

This is obligatory at this point whenever Dave Hughes is mentioned.
A man holding three cigarette packets in front of his face. The packets feature graphic anti smoking images of diseased eyeballs and rotten teeth. The text says Dave Hughes, because the packets are arranged so that they resemble the face of Australian (so called) comedian Dave Hughes.

Found on fb. Direct action and Dadaist action. Both are valid means of fucking the system.
An image showing 2 pictures side by side. The first on the left is a masked figure viewed from behind holding a molotov cocktail preparing to throw it at the police. On the right side a picture of the Portland frog standing in front of a line of police, ICE agents, and other assorted class traitors and fascists. Above the pictures it says, "Inside you are 2 antifas." Below the picture it then says, "Both are valid."

Friedhay 😜
Upon a metal outdoor table in the gathering dusk of evening sits a collection of objects. From the left we see a glasses case with a ziplock bag in it. Next to this is a brass pipe made of several segments of brass pipe fittings. Next to this sits a black cigarette lighter and finally on the right we have a can of bourbon and coke zero sitting in a blue can holder.

Go to change a washer in a tap and it's full of silicon. Thanks to my partner's ex. I should go round and squeeze the rest of the tube up his arse and let him clear that out. 🤬
A close up of a tap spindle in a shower where some dumbfuck has put about 2 tubes of silicon sealant in the hole.

It's been a bit warm today. But it's definitely a dry heat out here.
A screenshot from the BOM app showing the weather conditions for Monday September 29 in Alice Springs NT. The temperature is showing 34.4 degrees centigrade but the feels like temperature is only 28 because of the low humidity, around 14 percent.

Spent the morning exploring Kata Tjuta. Only a short walk today as we're a bit tired and the temperature today was creeping over 30 degrees centigrade.
A panoramic photo showing Kata Tjuta on the left with Uluru visible in the distance on the right. The sky above is a cloudless blue while in the foreground the desert plain is mostly populated by spinifex scrub and a few trees, mostly desert oak and mulga.
