  1. Tucumcari...brings back an old memory.  Headed to California from North Carolina in my 68' Mustang I stopped for gas at this humongous station.  Saw a Praying Mantis trying to make his way across the pavement and knowing he would be squashed I picked him up and put him in my toboggan. Gave him a ride down the road a bit and put him out.  That was 1972.....wonder how that young fella is doing?

    Probably a burnt offering of St. Louis cut ribs using oak harvested from the yard.  Only the shaded out dead branches though since the living oaks are sacred.  Gotta love a feast day.

    How's the toaster holding up OT?

  3. Meandering into the world of room treatments slowly.  Installed 16 sq. ft of Owens Corning 703 rigid insulation behind a tapestry and two diffuser/absorption panels on the opposite wall. 

     

    Next step will be panels behind the speakers and a bass trap or two.

     

    Still working on cup #1.

  4. Many years ago I thought I would chop up a stump to get rid of it and get some exercise to boot.  On the second chop I felt a sting and by the second sting realized what was going on.  I ran to the back porch with the ax still in my hand.  The door was locked and my late wife with her hands to her face panicked and just stood there.  Seven stings and after a call to my neighbor, a doctor, took a couple of antihistamines and all was good.

  5. How will your stereo gear be disposed of once you're pushing up Daises?  Does your significant other have any idea what its worth?  Have you written instructions?  Has anyone given this a thought?  Do you have a relative or friend who would value it as much as you do?

  7. Do we need to send out a search party for Grasshopper?

    Poor little Swanky is getting several teeth pulled today.  Periodontal disease.  Second time he has been under sedation for extractions.  Dad's on pins and needles!

    @Marvel hope you're not getting what I have workin right now.  I FORCED myself to roll out this morning.  Otherwise, it would have been noon again I'm sure.  Past couple weeks it's been an insane sleep cycle for me.  Blah!  😂  Haven't had a shingles vac yet and prolly won't.  Might regret it but will see.

     

    Where the heck is that @grasshopper anyway?  He must be gardening and livin in the shed.  Hope he didn't get locked in.
