Intersect...making lines meet for over 50 years.

This week, life had a mind of it's own.

There is a surreal comfort for me in timing things...
everyday things that I do--?
To know how long a thing takes--exists?
From my front door to Starbucks  7minutes 21seconds.
Shit-shower-shave  22minutes 31 seconds.
Door to door to meet my buddy for lunch 41minutes 38seconds.
Average time to detail clean the house 4 hours 31 minutes 19 seconds.

I use my chronographs constantly.
One of the highlights of today will be timing
my wife's visit to the dentist?
I understand the strangeness of this.
We can find comfort in the most unusual of pursuits.

the first thing a new boss needs to do
is piss off his 2.8 million employee's.

What could possibly go wrong?

I have a new guitar student?
Hard to tell tho---with millennial's.
I've had several say they want lessons
 but then,they never actually show,
at the appointed time?

Theoretically I have once again two guitar students?

Neither of which may show up for lessons
on a normal basis??

Hard to tell if I am still teaching?
I suppose I am???

OK----
So this is kind of awesome--and hysterical to watch...
A scientist built a robot orangutan that used a saw
on a tree branch...
A real Orangutan not only learned how to saw by
watching it---

but apparently tried to beat the robot ape,
 at what it thought, 
was a sawing competition???

The Tamiya 1988, Porsche Turbo, 1:24 model
is completed.

I really enjoyed building this rather simple model.
It appears awesome when displayed.

I made one mistake, touching the roof with a bit of
taillight lens paint unknowingly on my fingers?

Well--there must always be one flaw eh?

The full story on me and this vehicle is:

Approximately 18 years ago while living in coastal Georgia,
I spotted an identical vehicle to my 1:24 model parked at
one of those really shady, side of the highway, 
used car lots..priced at $12,000.
I must have stopped a dozen time to peer in the 
windows.

I took my wife by one weekend to look at this car 
I was just insane over...
Wisely pointing out that the Porsche without a doubt needed
much mechanical work as well as a new set of it's required hand made tires,
and that it was probably seized by customs from a drug dealer?
My wife's impeccable logic won and I passed on buying it....

The next and probably last model of the winter is:

Streaming on Netflix..

Excellent so far....
