This time, try not to make so much noise when you read!

Lately,

 I am lost within all my projects---

am still going to the dentist?
2 more appointments to go and--
it will be a month before my new teeth are ready?

Thanks to my friend Bill---

Excellent..

One of my guitar students is currently at that mental stage of
"I'm just too busy?"

This happens routinely with students
when they discover that playing the guitar is 
actually--well--- 
difficult.
Some make it out of the I'm just too busy for this, depression--

Others never get pass this moment
of insecurity
 and wind up quitting.

Being in this business(?) for a long time--

 it is strange that I still can never predict,
if a student suffering from the "I'm too busy" depression,
will keep at it or not?
This student, I do believe will bounce back?

From the same minds that brought you the
re-chargeable armpit fan--
comes the mini-washing machine.
If you spill alot of shit on yourself traveling this is for you!
If you are incredibly sloppy businessman on the road, this mini-travel,
washing machine is what you have been waiting for..

The truly weirdest part of these 
bizarre things is that somebody in Japan
must buy this shit??

Otherwise why?

MST3K is coming back!

Crowd sourcing has produced 5.7 million dollars raised from fans

for multiple new shows to be broadcasted on Netflix....

YES! YES! YES!

Cannot fucking wait!!!

MST3K I'll be back--

I am done constructing the 4.5 L Bentley model--

Here it is completed:

I really enjoyed building this kit--

I've found that I enjoy building automobile kits,

now more than any other variety of plastic model kit

and they look good on my shelves.

Next up is a 1/24th 1962 Jaguar MkII kit--

This week I began a brand new geezer peccadillo.

 I started building a 

A 1949 Fender "Snake-head" Esquire, solid body guitar copy.

I've never built a guitar before so i am 

studying the process and as a first time

learning experience I am building this guitar

 from a kit.

The 49 "Snake-head" single pickup, solid body,

was the first, real, guitar

offered for sale by Leo Fender out of his

shop in California.

When I was a kid the 1962 model Fender esquire guitar

retailed for $139.00 plus an additional $39.00 for a case.

An impossible sum...

so I never had the opportunity to own one until--

Maybe-possibly-hopefully-i think--If--

NOW!

A real, antique, Esquire in today's world costs a dump truck full of money,

and are utilized by some very eclectic players.
Billy Gibbons

&

David Gilmour

Just to name two--

(I refuse to put a wiki link to either of these guitar greats here--

 if you've never heard of these two guys----fuck you)

Building my own Esquire is the only way for a guy like me to have one...

I have no concept of how this project

will turn out--
There are a tremendous number of variables 
which could, as they say--
Fuck everything up...

All that having been said--here is the guitar-so far..
 laid-out with the parts
simply put in place---

I have currently completed the sanding and staining 

of the neck and body-leaving the fretboard natural maple.

I also have completed poly coating the stain and waxing the back of the neck.

I have ordered and received minor parts to individualize the guitar--

such as the "Chicken-head" control knobs displayed in the photo's,

as well as a blacked-out ashtray to cover the bridge.

To answer your question--

Yes-Telecaster players pull these bridge covers off--

and use them as ashtrays on stage--

(they used to anyway?)

These blacked-out parts will be installed during the guitar's

 final assembly--next week.

I chose a dragonfly decal to use as,

my logo--I guess?

The head stock appeared just too bare without

some type of graphic applied?

If i have any talent at this building process--

my next project could hopefully be my other, ultimate, longed for guitar:

A Double-neck 12/6 Telecaster--

I'll keep you posted on the end result...

Number of seances since last injury: 13

I am doing my best in

 attempting to stop--

commenting on politics 

or the stupidity of our world on this blog.

It's hard..

Popular Science Magazine in the 50's and 60's

would always tell us kids how great the future was going to be?

The future was going to be amazing!!

We were all going to travel by jetpack--

Food would be pills and free---

Work was going to be easy and take up only

a small amount of our time---

at a nice place--

But what we actually got--was fucking this--?

What the fuck happened to that cool future that

we children of the 50's were promised?

Daily temperatures have stayed between 102 to 107 degrees F

 here once again this week.

So everyday we place a 

coffee can filled with ice,

holding a container of coconut water outside for our mail-person!

Need a break?

Take a look at this Fjord video from Norway...

A nice Internet vacation away from the Murica' election.

No wonder these people are happy..

One of this years geezer projects has been feeding the birds

in the backyard.

I how have 4 large bird feeders operational,

but our birds have become horrifyingly demanding...

I created little, feathered, monsters!

They eat like hogs then sit in the tree's and tweetingly bitch at me
if the food in the feeders falls below a specific level!
I am going to have to apply some ground rules,
or else things are going to get out of hand---

I continue my work on the Bentley model.
Here is a photo of it's current status:

A way to go yet but getting there!

As you've probably seen splattered all over the Net..

Mick Jagger at 72 is having another kid
with some fucking ballerina?
(fantasy-wise, do ballerina's rank up there with gymnast's as girlfriends?)

This is his 8th kid in total by a harem of different supermodels...
Mick you ol' Dick

I mean, i absolutely got no problem with this
except it for some reason this news really makes your brain
go all:
Whaaaaaat?

and then---

The Film Crew

This Japanese politician advertised
his run for office--
by posing with a huge white cat.

Nicely civilized concept
 but:
He still lost..
I know, I'll put a gigantic adorable cat on my campaign poster!

After a tough fight i have managed to open
the free, but non-functional, Seiko Pilot Seh-010 I was given.

The metal band was frozen to the watch casing by crud..
I wound up having to break the band to remove it,
a requirement to open the watch for examination.

The first step is of course, to try a simple battery replacement.

 This watch requires a very strangely sized battery,
which i did not have in stock---!
The golden rule of watchmaking is that no matter how many
varieties of watch batteries you keep in stock you never have that
particular one---you need.
So the watch is stored in a dust proof container,
until the replacement batteries arrive
later this week---

I am nice to Jehovah's witnesses when they come to the door?

I appreciate anyone who actually walks their talk--

even tho I am an atheist?

The problem is that they take my civility and appreciation

of their dedication as a sign to harass me repeatedly...?

I guess I'm going to have to be like everybody else and figure 

out a method to avoid them..?
