Mixology.

This doesn’t really work. Do not attempt at home.

memories of an old vw disaster car

Posted on June 18, 2022 by | Leave a comment

Thinking about a late 1970’s VW Rabbit Diesel with a blown head gasket that I drove in the late 1980’s. Bittersweet times.

Sometimes the driver-side window would fall down inside the door, usually when it was raining.

Blowing the horn was touching two wires together that hung from under the dash.

I bought it for $200, and sold it three years later for the same.

Starting it in cold weather required working through a mental spreadsheet of things that had worked in the past all depending on temperature and length of time since last run. If none worked, get out the ether spray and hope that nothing would explode.

I’ve been studying these issues for 40+ years.

Early 1980’s, a US magazine reporter (can’t remember now which), crawled on his stomach for long distances to discover entire villages wiped out. Everybody dead. The photography was grisly.

Then, 2021, Empire Queen, Kamala do-not-come-to-US Harris, makes her first international trip after taking office to hang out with the Guatemalan President. Sickening.

amaretto disaster

Posted on June 17, 2022 by | Leave a comment

The great amaretto disaster of last night.

In other words, why I’m wheezing all day today. Hard to breathe.

I had a little sip after work last night. It went down the wrong way, hard. Burned TF out of my throat, larynx, probably down the trachea some.

It reminds me of accidents I saw as a child when people would siphon gas with a hose.

Oh, my! How’d you know it’s what I wanted?

Because I bought it for my damn self. 🤩

all day dance stream

Posted on June 15, 2022 by | Leave a comment

I’ve had a 6 hour 39 minute stream of “Hi-NRG/Italo Disco/80s Dance Mixes” playing off and on all day. Very very good.

Sly Fox’ “Let’s Go All the Way” was on a bit ago. When that came on in the clubs years ago, it could be thrilling, embarrassing, frightening. It all just depended.

cherry pie

Posted on June 15, 2022 by | Leave a comment

I think we’re having a pie shortage. The Fresh Market (supermarket) only had one weak looking apple pie, and three of the cherry pies, which nobody wants, but I like one sometimes. Look at the price on that thing. $11.99. 🍒🥧💰

Anytime a US citizen hurls the labels communist, Marxist, etc., there’s a ZERO percent chance the person has even the slightest idea what they mean.

The words have gravitas and make the hurler seem politically swank to members of the same…whatever.

pineapple corer

Posted on June 13, 2022 by | Leave a comment

I’m trying out for the first time a pineapple corer that I bought. I didn’t know such a tool existed until somebody mentioned one at work. Inexpensive, effective.

First attempt was a success. I’ve already eaten a third of it.

The pre-sliced ones from the store, they often miss the core, so you end up paying for a lot of nothing.

Pics are pineapple at start of operation then spiral of the fruit in a container.

surveyors

Posted on June 13, 2022 by | Leave a comment

When I see signs that say “surveyors ahead” while driving, I like to imagine that there will be people with tablets standing by the road shouting questions at the passing drivers.

“Do you like driving on this road a lot, somewhat, or a little?”

“On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate the scenery on this road?”
