  1. It's one of those connections that is good enough to allow miniscule currents to indicate voltage but when you really load it with an appliance the connection (somewhere) cannot supply the proper current. Or it's on a three way switch. Or the breaker is fried but it cannot supply the proper current. Or you have a junction box in a damp crawl space with a corroded wire. Do you have aluminum wire feeds?

  2. I have cold booted  my system (lots of stuff) since 1995. I noticed that Windows boots up in different sequences almost every time.  I would hope that Gates would use AI to get rid of all the problems inherent in Windows including the blue screens of death.

    I did something I should have done several years ago.

    I filed the nut slots a little deeper on the DR-28s.

    The playability is a lot better now and easier on the left hand.

     

    I owned a German acoustic guitar with an adjustable neck that would move the strings closer.

    Why would you say that?

    He said it started working as soon as he put the new capacitor on it, it’s just the wrong size physically so he can’t close the cover.

    Too much friction, too hard to start. Saying that it is working covers a broad spectrum. Does it run fast/?Slow? medium? Hot? Winding shorted? Make noise?. I had a garage door opener that did the same thing with three capacitors. A new garage door opener did the trick. He needs a new pump /motor.

    Here is one from my younger days.

    this next one I just heard about 6 months ago. I guess it's been around awhile.

     

    Great song, not so good singer. Too many off key notes and no lungs.

    Diet change starts tomorrow.  Have had success with low carb and Paleo.  Actually looking forward to losing the 10 pound bowling ball Ive been carrying around my waist.  Dieting always works better than exercise increase for me.

     

    Has anyone else noticed some commercials now feature larger folks?  The medication Jardiance ad features a very large female being treated like a rock star as she flits through a crowd.  Poor ankle, knee, and hip joints is what I think of when I see her.

    That commercial is making "Fat" people legitimate in the eyes of the public. It's saying its OK to eat like a pig and get fat. 

    I can't stand that commercial and immediately change channels.

    Question is why are  sensation about this. Something to just write about would suppose. A miss is as good as a 1000 km.

    Or, the boy who cried...Wolf.

    The end of the human race does generate a lot of news.

    Being 74 he was somewhat before my time but since getting old and listening to some of his music the last few years one has to admit the guy could really sing. His recordings with Lady Gaga are some of my favorites and I am not a big fan of Gaga. Her music is just not my taste but like Tony Gaga has a great trained voice. 

     

    RIP

    Lady Gaga was a very good jazz singer going no where when she was advised to switch to contemporary rock. I'm thinking that was some of what got them together.

    One of my friends says "cowboying" is the hardest job on the world. After a while you get used to being soaked with urine and crap.

    Maybe I'm just OLD but man Bonamassa and I don't see eye to eye on a LOT of things.  Yea, he's great but I'll just stop there.  This one's a long one to view but it's a great old song done at prolly the greatest venue in the US aside from the Forum in LA.  Wait, I forgot about all the shows @! the Fillmore East and West back in the day. :)  

     

    Red Rocks  in Morrison, Colorado just outside of Denver is the spot that just gets me EVERY time UNLESS it rains but those can be fun too.  :) 

     

    The man had a plan when he started it in the early 1900's.  Yea, it's that freakin old and ain't goin anywhere soon.  Today, it's down to a science and if you're ever planning a trip you better get your tickets FIRST and plan around the show.  They drop the shows and you better be on top of your game.  OR ya can just shell out the big money to the scalpers and go.  That takes the fun out of ANY show if you ask me.

     

    Back to Joe B.  Yea, he's good, darn good, but I'm not a big follower like some so I'll leave it at that.  Don't get me wrong he can get 'er done but...

     

    This popped up on youtube and I dismissed it but then saw it was @ Red Rocks so gave it a listen.  One of my favs but it HAS to be perfect.  Perfect is was too so thought I'd throw it down.  I know, I know I've heard it all before from my brother-in-law who's a Joe freak.  Blah.  

     

    Oh yea, crank it up!  :)

     

     

    You hit the Rocks you better take you're A game and that he did.  Now I wonder if that's out on an LP.  Have to nose a bit just not too much.  😂

     

    He is very good but I am not into him.

    I’m asking for honest opinions on this 

    The album will be released in October 2023 

     

    THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON REDUX by Roger Waters 

     

     

    Well it's certainly creative. The lyrics are 2023.

    Total price = 8 sea containers x $5,000? = $40,000 = a small mortgage = room for all your cousins to live next door.  Handy when you need to borrow the price of a 2-4 of beer.  Points for planning for the future.

    Glad there is no HOA involved.

    I recently read about Chrysler and watched the pics. Now I want this car! Btw, the 2023 model was created with AI. Its entire dashboard is a giant touchscreen, powered by AI and promised to be self-driving and predict your wants and needs. Sounds really cool.

    Just hope the "AI" doesn't determine you are useless and eject you from the car.
