Stop me if you've heard this one...OK ?
possible now that i am a geezer..
Especially in public...
now, at this age...
if i look shabby and act weird in public..
All it would take is one person shouting out---
"Somebody help that old man !!! "
and
I wind up in a home..?
you have to be much more careful
of the first impression you make on others...
Wait--
Am I supposed to feel sorry for these fuckers ???
Because one of their own did to them
what they are doing to millions ??
Rich loose private street in SF..
At the end of the summer I begin to prowl
Ebay for used Barbour jackets...
Traditional British outdoor, motorcycle,
and military jackets. Insanely expensive now--
The choice of many from Steve McQueen..
To private purchases by British military members
from World War 2 to Afghanistan..
Barbour Jackets are my go to outerwear..
but extremely hard to acquire on a budget...
Henceforth my buying used from EBAY.
Last year I won a Motorcycle Barbour,
of the style favored by McQueen and
it is just awesome...
Right now I have a bid in on a
Barbour Cowen Commando lightweight smock.
The Cowen Commando was used during the
Falklands and the first Gulf War prior to
being retired...
8 pockets, Waxed exterior for weather-proofing,
desert tan--XL for layering with a vest.
I have high hopes for this auction--
maybe for less than 50 bucks..?
If i can acquire it for that price it is
probably, because no one else would wear it, maybe?
It pays to be somewhat strange---?
of the real left---
The Atlantic, which speaks openly
on Anarchists keeping a lid on neo-nazi
demonstrations..
The rise of the violent left
Our culture has forgotten how during
the Viet Nam War the real left was not to
be fucked with....
Restoring my 1972 Telecaster Custom.
This particular model was a favorite
of Keith Richards for close to 10 years..
deep big sound and Telecaster twang at the same time.
quite a few years actually and just got it back...
(I know--I do this sometimes..)
A stock photo of this guitar brand new---
It came home a bit worse for wear..
Fender, neck Humbucker
replaced with a Fender Lace Sensor Humbucker..
for a much deeper richer sound..
I want to get this guitar going again..
so..
I am in the process of detail cleaning this guitar,
fixing the plug in jack and plate, replacing the tone and
volume knobs with a set that is easier to operate on the fly,
replacing the white selector switch with a blacked-out switch,
and adding a black telecaster "ashtray..."
to complete this restoration..
In route..
I thought since Psychopaths have become
the rulers of our democracy,
I needed to study up....
This is intelligently funny---
This is a Swiss tv series on Netflix with
a Northern Exposure kinda feel...
Excellent---
