Wait--wait---I've got a handle on this--
keeping my pledge against
commenting on our current political chaos.
I am doing my best to fulfill my concept of providing
the current regime in Washington with zero attention
as the worst hurt I can inflict
is ignoring them totally?

(even tho i never travel any longer...)
When I did travel extensively the Braun battery powered electric
razor was always in my carry-on...
Most recently a real favorite of mine is
the Braun Chronograph wristwatch...
Although it eats through batteries at an amazing rate..
I love this watch.
are clean, simplistic but beautifully stylish..
devoid of excess, unnecessary shit...!
Amazingly beautiful and useful.

You may have wondered about last week's posting
regarding a Cjiaba watch I ordered..expecting the watch to be
totally fucked on arrival--which it was...
These desperately bad Cjiaba watches are
a sort of challenge to me---
How does one make something viable out of truly low cost shit....
Viable inexpensively---????
Below is the end result of a different
Cjiaba watch project of mine--
I mentioned would not run do to the
enormous human eyebrow hair in the watch mechanism
as i described in my last post...
(awesome quality control eh??)
I tore this Cjiaba apart---got it running--and actually did
ten coats of flat black paint on the casing.
Followed by ten coats of clear cover spray
and hand painted the orange accented bezel markings.
The final step was the addition of a military style web band.
Total re-hab cost was $15.00 us for the band...?
Not a bad result in totality?
It also keeps excellent, accurate time now, although it's
mechanism spring is only good for about 4 hours of power
storage without the self-winder topping it's power off---
There is nothing more satisfying to me that taking a item
that is, well, shit and making it viable.
Penny Marshall died..
She was 75.
She became a great director and was
one of the few female Hollywood moguls..

I had a crush on
her character, Laverne Defazio!!
My wife surprised me with it..
On Netflix streaming now....
beautifully filmed...
