I'm not holding back anything, certainly talent---

currently lost in retirement----

Canada--
Our mature, intelligent neighbor to the north..

Since last posting on our Jeep project..
I filled it with gas-and power washed
some of the caked on mud off it--

I have to try and flush the caked mud out
of the door channels?
While on a test drive--

The "check engine" light came on??
Although the Haynes manual advises this indicates
emission control problems--
which on a vehicle i got for lawn sod is---
tiny violin time--

but the wipers don't work, NO ac, still trouble with
all the doors, parking brake is a no-go
and it's still pretty much 
like the truck the Beverly Hillbillies owned.
At least it still runs.
Long way to go on this project and I still 
do not know if the jeep was a good or a bad idea.

There's been more than enough written

on United dragging a paying passenger 

off their aircraft, smashing his head--

We are all merely cattle to them---

I thought it might be interesting to read

about the class above first

class which United airlines has

where no-one gets assaulted/bumped,

secret doors, driven direct to your aircraft

&

no one grabs your balls--

if you have enough money that is--

think of the movie Elysium--

but in commercial air travel !

who knew there was a class higher than first class???

This---
for the rich and famous only airline class
makes regular first class passengers feel--

This two tiered system of life 

must change--

either by choice on the part of the rich--

or not--

This past week we got to see 
Billy Bob Thornton and the Boxmasters 
at our local venue---
took these cellphone photos at the show--

They were excellent!
Great musicians, very tight and a really
enjoyable show.

Billy Bob was very accessible and funny..
He took pictures with our neighbors and was
really human!
We had a great time!

My personal geek world

is glowing due to the new MST3K

on Netflix...
after a long wait----

What's cool is it is not a copy--

but

it is true to the original concept of the show..

The movies they are playing are awesomely awful..

and

the riffing on the movies is outstanding!!!

Hysterical---
