You've not seen nothing like the Mighty Quinn.....

I had some time to reflect this week.

This was nice to be able to sit and just think.

Yet at the same time i feel that the recent

summer solstice has disturbed the WA of things.

Have a system for grooming and I know that 

it takes me exactly 22 minutes to shower and shave?

Am unable to drive a dirty vehicle any distance before washing it?

Vacuum the house a lot--

think Jayne Cobb is the best TV character of all time?

 can only fall asleep 95% of the time by lying on my stomach?

Which is the least healthy sleeping position. 

that I can read and watch TV at the same time,

but i cannot speak on the phone and watch TV at the same time?

More of these little strange items to come---

I am so much more in touch with the seasons since i stopped working.
Strange that I write of this subject during the summer solstice...

I appear to have built a system, without knowing it,
of doing specific jobs or endeavors on a seasonally adjusted basis.
I do things based on the best season to do the job,
compared to an artificially constructed, work time line.

Since the onset of spring I have not sat and read
a book,  built a model, played an instrument or worked on a watch.
It appears that serious reading, and other detail orientated tasking
 is now a winter thing...?

Much to do outside all day, working on the house and yards in spring and summer,
until I simply fall out, exhausted at night.
Basically I am living a medieval peasant's life.

My accounting of time has become a 
simpler ?

I'm awaiting the delivery of a recently purchased

Marantz, gold series, M3040 box.

(the singular net photo of this model found below)

This is a smaller sized, very simple box--developed after the original

Japanese designed, Magnavox/Superscope line was discontinued.

The gold series boombox was a follow through

of the Marantz gold series home component stereo equipment line.

This box was supposed to project more of an uptown image.

My purchase comes with the original box and packing as well as with an owner's manual,

a very rare occurrence. 

I also have in route a $26.00 Akai Pj-33.

It's supposedly fully functional?

Can't wait to find out if i'm a hero or zero for this purchase.

Being too stubborn to quit.
I have managed to get my solar power project working.

There is still a bit of a way to go yet----but---
I am creating and storing power.
Photographs soon....
But first I'm sure the scientific community will want to hear from me,

so i better get this blog wrapped up.

My Darling JoJo gave me an IPAD Air as an early birthday present...!

The book she got me to go along with it is a hoot--

I think....?...Maybe---?
Wait a second what does it say below the My iPad part---?

We have Monarch Butterfly caterpillars 

in our garden.

They are hungry, whole plant eating little bastards

but--

Monarchs are endangered now, and we let them eat

what they will--because what's the world without butterflies?

I'll be in my bunk----

This week has been better.

Alternating between progress and failure.

I managed to fight off a possible fall into depression---

 thinking my way out of the first symptoms when they appeared. 

My darling Jo helped me--she often puts up with

an immense amount of crap from me--

but the elements that can weird me into depression,

are the same elements that make me, well, me.

Let's not even discuss:

The CRAZY White Woman who pretends to be Black,

and winds up becoming head of the Seattle NAACP????

 Samuel L. Jackson is not amused by this shit.

Let's be sure to totally ignore

anything what-so-ever regarding

Jeb Bush running for President.

After all--

the Imperial Bush Family ignores us little people..

Can you really believe how ignorant we are as a culture?

There is a guy, a quadriplegic, who 

works in Colorado as a phone rep for Dish Network.

Besides living in Colorado where weed is legal,

he actually has a medical weed card--prescribed to control

his involuntary muscle seizures. 

This poor dude cannot walk but he WORKS!

He was fired for failing his employer's drug test

due to weed consumption after work hours !

How fucking ignorant can corporations be?

Dish Network claims a No-Tolerance policy, in a legal weed state.

On a job that for shit sure does not in any stretch of the

imagination have a safety requirement?

The Colorado Supreme court upheld his firing?

Our Government is insane

Just how fucking cruel---?

Just how fucking nasty Nancy Reagan can you be?

Just how fucking corporate heartless?

We need to fix this kind of shit...!

 I have been failing at napping lately.

The first few months of retirement was Nap-rich.

As time has passed I tend to work through nap-time.

The day quickly passes and suddenly, 

it's too late in the day for a really good nap.

So I pass.

I've got to work on my nap technique.

My Fighting Elves T-shirt is on the way..

If I have to explain this T-shirt to you...

You should immediately stop reading my blog..

 go somewhere that only has pictures of kittens

and uses very small words.

I have had a recent run of tough luck

with several of my current geezer projects.

My attempt at building a solar power system for Jo's garden shed

has ground to a halt--

Frustration has set in because I have everything i

supposedly require to make a system work---

I have hooked everything up properly according to available information.
I can't power up the system.

There must be some type of glitch in my equipment or

a failure in my set up--

that is preventing access to the generated power--
or maybe i am not generating power at all ?

I currently have no idea what-so-ever as to what the root of the problem is--
I am hoping that possibly charging the system battery for a week will solve this problem?
Or possibly a new Inverter that i have in route?
Although----

Christopher Lee is gone.

He scared the shit out of us boomers many times.

On DVD

We really enjoyed this...
