Providing a running commentary....

Today I will clean and reorganize everything 
for a fresh start point.
A mulligan for those with OCD.
OCD

When everything is cleaned and in it's place,

perhaps after this reboot...?

 I may be able to:

Address stalled projects

Work longer

Create more...

This has been a bad week for news..

I'm not even going to begin to discuss any of it.

Too many people are saying too much shit anyway.

Darryl from the Walking Dead starred in

an independent SF film.

It should be released soon on DVD?

I'm ordering it.

In my most recent read--Big Safari.

The history of U.S. cold war aerial reconnaissance.

There was an amazing fact.

During WW2 American troops discovered

2 tons of glass hidden away which was made by German scientists.

This wasn't just glass, it was absolutely pure, perfect glass.

Despite investigations and examinations,

the creators of this amazing glass remain unknown.

The U.S. was never able to duplicate this glass.

The recovery of this glass is important because it was the

prime ingredient in the construction of huge camera lenses.

Which were installed on massive cameras in early spy aircraft

 such as the RB-50, RB-47, U-2 and SR-71 as well as early spy satellites.

This Nazi glass made it possible for the early amazing high altitude photographs, 

for example Russian launch sites in Cuba in 1962.
Aerial reconnaissance allowed us to survive the cold war.

This glass was considered so valuable it was declared a 

Nation asset and named the National Glass reserve.

It was stored guarded and released only for special

construction projects.

The last known location of the National Glass Reserve was the

Rock Island Arsenal.

Today apparently no one knows what actually happened to the stock

of the National Glass Reserve.

By the way, 

on examination during the U.S. failure to replicate it

 the glass was discovered

to be radioactive?

We are insane binge watchers--
All of season 5 of the Walking Dead.
In a single day---Oh My!

Don't try this at home we are professionals.

Eric Clapton will be 70 years old Sept.16th.

70 fucking years old?????

This can't be happening man, this can't be happening!

Slow hand is now old hand?

( thanks bill ! )

I received the Russian SU-34 I ordered from Tamiya Japan.

Perfect arrival time since the afternoons are once again

in excess of 103 degree's.

I'll post progress on this kit as it occurs.

My National Panasonic RS-4150LJ 

arrived safely this week.

It is a beautifully designed box, all of the features

still work perfectly 40 years after being manufactured.

(Photos of my new box below)

Japanese designers apparently attempted to out-German

German designers on this box's Teutonic styling.

All black and a really stunning simplistic style.

This particular boombox has a very rich sound.

No thumping bass, but the overall sound is very full.

I am extremely happy to have this model in my collection.
