Look, if I want my opinion I'll beat it out of me!

The world is functioning, well, nicely, for us right at the moment.
Enjoying it..
Doing the happy dance!

I mowed our newly sodded lawn in the backyard for the first time--
This is the first time we have had a lawn or a lawn mower in quite awhile..

It was surprisingly very pleasant...
This first time anyway, for sure that may change as time goes on...
but
 I toted a boombox along with me as I mowed..
Nothing like Art Pepper on the Saxophone while lawn mowing..

I thought I would bring up the ultimate explanation as to why we are,
well, fucked.
The Reptilian Conspiracy!

The basis of this conspiracy theory believes our rulers and the 1%er's 
 are really Lizard Aliens--- 
who can shape shift to human form 
and have been dominating real humans for centuries.

10 things you should know about the reptilian conspiracy theory

OK so I'm sitting here thinking about this, 
trying as hard as I can
to consider this theory outlandish........?
must make fun of---!
trying--trying--trying---?

I have continued in rebuilding my neglected watches.

This week I cleaned and re-banded my other Citizen ECO WR-100.
It was neglected because of it's brown dial face--
 which i was just not wild about-----

until
I added this retro-Steve McQueen, formula one driver's,
tan leather, perforated band.
Strange how a new band can totally
remake a watch?

Ebay recently provided an affordable gem for me...

A Panasonic RX-5100 boombox is currently in route.

Considered to be a mid-size box, the 5100 series by Panasonic

although lacking a booming bass, are dependable and capable

of excellent sound, loud too,which is, well a desired part of the boombox game.

This box appears to be well cared for and reportedly
functions perfectly!
 Panasonics I have obtained for my collection have been excellent boxes
only occasionally requiring a minor belt change.

Below is an original Japanese ad for the RX-5100
these were high dollar items in the 70's and 80's
well out of reach of my meager finances at that time...

The Panasonic Rx-5100 series
achieved serious, but obscure, fame in the 1982 Film by John Carpenter
"The Thing".

A 5100 series Panasonic (possibly a 5110 or 5150) was
carried about John Carpenter's Antarctic station on roller skates
by Nauls the station's cook.
Nauls and his Boombox 
 He would blast tunes out irritating the scientists...

Until he was eaten by aliens anyway...
I'll be really happy adding this model to my collection.

WE WON INDIANA! 

Bernie or Bust!
