Found a few vinyl LPs around here and figured out how to get my turntable going again. Sitting in bed in the dark listening to 1950s folk instrumentals and other weird stuff and it's kind of fun really.

Happy Halloween folks!
Life should be a benevolent adventure because when it is not it is scarcely worth the maintenance.
I don't care if Halloween is this weekend I'm tired of listening to lousy stupid drunks and revelers. Shut the hell up and turn the radio off.
Everybody's going gaga over some supercar parked in front of work, but I'd rather have a 2-cylinder machine or something with a weird electric motor. If we're going to drive dangerously we can do it while evading CO poisoning, battery fires, or impalement.
A parrot in a pet shop was very valuable because if you picked up one leg it sang a hymn, and if you picked up the other, it recited a psalm..."But what if I lift both legs?" the customer asked.
"Then I fall down, you idiot," said the parrot.

Two projects today: fixing my cellphone for better charging, and backdating my bedroom light fixture with a homemade copy of a turn-of-the-century ceiling light (right down to a replica Edison-Mazda style bulb.) Old & new at the same time.
Sometimes at work we use grease pencils aka chinagraph pencils for filling tiny cosmetic defects in vehicle parts. Turns out, artists like them too. I did not know that--basically they feel like a mix of lead pencil & Crayola crayon, come in various colors, and seem like a hilariously simple idea for artists with a budget.
Somewhere I saw that "Art disturbs the comfortable, and comforts the disturbed."
I need to get rid of so much of the "collection" here--love collecting antiques/vintage but it's time to thin the herd further. Selling or giving away is equal to, or more fun than, collecting.
October is almost here. I can hardly wait.
Boy howdy I hope I never have to attend another gathering with Based Tradcath Intellectual types.
Busy day today but I think it was a good one. I'm glad work is still going alright. Tired, and have to prep for travel last-minute, but am going to study and eat first and the rest will come as it may.
Got bored this evening. Did you know a Singer sewing-machine can stitch a hem into a folded piece of beverage can? Neither did I, but it did all right.
Some days I think I have the nicest girl friend in the whole world, but only days ending in -Y, and when I'm breathing.
Finally, home internet again!
I want to bake a pan of peanut butter brownies. That might be a this week project.
Sold a typewriter and got enough for a pile of car parts, saving me quite a bit in repair bills. -
