oogha oogha oogha chaka


Working on my tape recorders and taping stuff on the day off..
My newest little set up my Walkman professional WmD-6c coupled with
my new XO5 rechargeable speaker system.





A Sony SEQ-50 Walkman equalizer.
The concept was to run a line from the walkman to the equalizer
then to your headphones.
This provided greater adjustment of sound to personal desire.
Very few were made and are extremely hard to find.
It is good to have a quest.

Guardians of the Galaxy to go to DVD with baited breath.
How can i resist when there is a first generation Sony Walkman
and great music involved in the movie.

A new carry knife just in for the upcoming winter months and for retirement carry.
Cold Steel Kobun.
A tremendous value for the price.

You get no bread, with one meatball



I wonder what it will be like to wake up naturally 
on a daily basis?
Compared to being forced awake to
a schedule.



Barbour Jacket.


Grundig Shortwave radios.

In route


Which one of these US financed and trained Yemeni soldiers 
is simply FABULOUS!

we don;t finish anything anym



Attempting to determine what our lives in the near future
will be like once the lifetime of work ends.
It is quite like trying to predict what life on a 
alien planet would look like.
In all probability with similar accuracy.



We have both been working on the concept of organization.
JoJo has been totally rebuilding the Kitchen..with outstanding results.
I, on the other hand, am currently crippled in this area due to
the last remaining months of work prior to retirement.
Once work is completed however......
It's Monk time.

Feeling Like Bobby Elvis



It is needless for me to state here that i hold
bizarre interests but restate it i have.
I have returned to the independent study of 
Bartitsu. 


I  step into and then step away from the study of this art dependent on my mood.
I attempt matching my age to an appropriate self-defense theory.
Bartitsu i find very, very interesting. 
I routinely am  on and off the self-study of this discipline.
After investigation, if you find you have an interest in Bartitsu,
 I recommend watching 
the Robert Downey Jr. versions of Sherlock Holmes films.
The fight coordinator of those films, used partial  Bartitsu 
techniques and concepts in laying out the film's fight sequences.



Two films came to mind the other day that i suddenly
felt the need to view again.

Public Enemies


Road to Perdition


This desire may be based on the fact that
I have begun to believe the time period we are now existing through
is a replay of the 1930's, with cellphones and computers,
unfortunately without the awesome styling ?
Just a thought string of mine...probably equates to absolutely nothing.


Not that great, I wouldn't recommend.


First generation Honda Insight to geek out on
A Cold Steel Tanto knife
A good leather shoulder holster to fit my Webley revolver
A minor limp so i can justifiably carrying my sword cane
Fall 
Organization
The ability to shave with a straight razor
(and not die of blood loss)



On DVD--Awesome!
