Is it ME? Am I a MAGNET for these idiots?

Thinking too much....

As another example of Republican bullshit

the threatened "massive walkout" of

Chicago police over Vaccination requirements.

Turns out to be 21 officers out of 12,770...

decided to retire early or leave...

TEXAS...

Where their insane Lt. Governor Patrick,

posted bounties for anyone who would

turn in an incident of voter fraud 

in the last election,

has actually discovered a case of fraud...

The million dollar bounty fund, 

from his campaign funding

found a single case of voter fraud...

A REPUBLICAN...

and he voted twice in Pennsylvania???

We received our Moderna Covid 

booster vaccine today..

One of the reasons why people like

myself are so pro-vaccination,

for anything,

Is that when we were children we lived 

through Polio pandemics..

Our little friends wound up like

this poor woman..

through no fault of their own.

Vaccines then and now are

a miracle..

Bursts of what a good, sweet dog

he will be once he is an adult.

Clapton..

Lockdown sessions..

Jay Black..

The voice of Jay & the Americans,

passed away this week at 82.

He toured for years after they broke up

and supposedly his voice stayed perfect and 

strong right up to the end.

I played his songs in so so so many bands.

This truly sucks...

Hey, it's not slimy at all!

The pandemic continues..

The life expectancy of the average human

male in the United States is 

75.1 years....

I think it's safe to say that

Bill Clinton---

has FINALLY worn out his crotch..?

Texas Republicans are apparently never done, 

harassing regular humans.

They recently shut down an 

LGBT state support website,

that included a suicide hotline.

Texans---

Last year's Kentucky "Redneck Rave" body count:

one impalement on a log...one slit throat..

loss of multiple fingers...

one strangulation...

50 criminal charges for dealing dope, etc...

God knows how much Covid...

So, of course, Kentucky decides let's do it again...

It's sort of Burning man but they set themselves

on fire instead of a big wooden man...?

I got my new banjo set up the other day.

I installed the bridge and played 

my first song..

Plastic Jesus

I have a massive amount of learning to do however---

All the while....

My Yankee ancestors are spinning 

in their graves.

 I installed an armrest on one

of my mandolins.

It's designed to allow the instruments

top to vibrate better since your picking

arm is not resting on the top dampening it.

No damping helps create a 

much better, cleaner, clearer sound.

It's been awhile since I have written

anything on boomboxes....

I just recently ordered a "new"

old style boombox...

QFX-J-220BT

Chinese box

pictured below.

It is one of the few "new" boomboxes

maintaining a "classic" styling.

I really ordered it against the rise

in prices on both new and vintage

boxes...and the worry that

soon boomboxes may just disappear

from my price range.

So I went for it.

This is a smaller box but it has a lot of options, 

and it looks great. 

It's Chinese and quality is supposed to

be a crapshoot with them according to the reviews

 but---what isn't in today's world?
