Graham is indeed a cool guy. I drew this from a photo of him sailing around in Carlita.

That name rings a bell… :)

I’ve never been, but several of my friends have attended.

Well, I just cut a 4” (10cm) hole in the back of the wee speaker cabinet, centered just below the magnet of the lower speaker.

I thought I wanted a closed back cabinet for the wee speakers and...

We got to see my junior high buddy’s Shoegaze band today. It was a trip to run into someone I haven’t seen for a long time…

Dude, right? They make some sweet semi-hollow models, too. And, you can pick one off the rack, or get whatever you want.

A guy I know (who actually works as a guitar player) has a few, and they’re...

Probably don’t look up Kauer guitars, then. :D

You can tell the girls from the boys because the girls lay eggs.

This little (TINY!) Vox puts out around 25w at 8ohm, which my box is. It’s 2 16ohm 8 inch Celestions, which sound nice. The amp head has a switch to change the dynamic range between larger cabinet...

If you need eyes on and more pictures, that’s not too incredibly far from me I don’t think, based on the map.

Let me know, and I could maybe go check on it for you before you make the trip.

Okay, not it’s done. Sounds great. Quad and I played last night, and it’s a great volume and tone for a small space.
Cranking way down on the volume knob and switching to a single coil gives...

Quad and I finally got around to Andor. I can’t imagine anyone here would enjoy it, but we do.

I flunked out of TWO art schools. Hahaha.

Also, wheelies on Instagram? Who does that? :D

Hey! I know that artist! And the guy who doesn’t know how to sail that boat! :d

Thanks, Yo. Have another why don’t ya? :d Incidentally, I was recently gifted a pretty swank set of colored pencils, and a while ago I got a nice pad of paper. I’m all set to draw up some...

This boats are land locked…

134437
Or a one of these?

Howzabout some doof in a duck punt? :)

I’m not any kind of expert, but that’s what I’d do. Well, have done. Never with gflex, though, just regular old epoxy.

I have always added a bit of thickened gloop over the line to smooth out the...

You pretty much HAVE to sail a duck punt on its ear, or it won’t go straight. One reason I won’t sail mine in deep water.

Of course, I don’t know **** about sailing.

ETA: I DO know a tiny bit...

Following! :d You have some cool stuff up, Yo. I look forward to seeing more of your artistic takes on architecture.

Oh, great! Now I have performance anxiety! :D Ironically, or maybe coincidentally, I’ve been working (slowly) on an architectural model to use as a maquette for a fantasy drawing.

The amount of...

I started an Instagram expressly to share the Doodles that began in earnest when I was BROTM. I’m not sure how to do a linky of the account, but it’s actiondoodles. ...

Be You. One thing I’ve learned from being exposed to and in contact with artists around the globe (thank you, technology) is that my work often strikes them as much as theirs strikes me. I am ALWAYS...

I simply used masking tape to hold some line in place then soaked it well with neat epoxy. After it dried, I filled in and around it with some thickened up schmootz.

On several paddles and oars...

Oh, yeah… ;)

Well, it still needs a grill/cloth cover, but I’m calling it done. I cheaped out and covered the cabinet with some left over truck bed liner I had sitting around.
Oh, I got some cute little...

If anyone still wonders about the weather and impact, several of our neighboring towns are still inundated.

My wife’s friend had to move because the area her house is in is inaccessible due to...

Bro, if you’ve not seen The Big Lebowski, you need to. It is such a weird, terrible, stupid, brilliant, wonderful thing.

Yeah, well, you know, that’s just like, your opinion, man. ;)

I have way more grey in my beard.

After Daughter stopped playing competitive softball, she started playing adult league, slow pitch softball.

The first time she comes up to bat, the macho guys in the outfield always yell something...

The funny thing is how little arm is actually involved in pitching, or even just plain throwing. I always do a demo for kids when teaching them to throw by keeping my arm tight to my body; like t-rex...

Also, I try to avoid having teenagers throw breaking balls. A good fastball and change up are enough to strike out anyone, if the location is good and the pitches look identical out of the hand.
...

Minor brag. I always have pitchers throw at a ball in a tee placed in home plate. Not that we want every pitch down the middle, but we need to be able to throw where we want it, and hitting a ball...

You know I know a few MLB players, including pitchers? Even one who wears pinstripes and has to be clean shaven? :)

Losing gas shouldn’t be a super big deal. Pitching is like most things;...

I knew someone would make that joke. :d

Seriously, though, you call those hamburgers? Look at those buns! Those patties look pathetic! Who could ever eat garbage food like that?!

Hehehehe....

Can anyone else throw one? Man, I have to say, mine is coming back with a vengeance, and is pretty nasty. I can’t really throw an effective curve, anymore, and the kids need to see breaking balls...

There’s a 66 Beetle in the driveway about to have the body separated from the pan and put on a dolly. Lots of “fixes” done by previous owners need to be set right. Lots of fiddly grinding and welding...

Starchy’s a beelzebub!

I think Diametrics was written by L. Ron Hubbard?

Unacceptable! One million years dungeon! :D

I’m a little surprised, but not totally. The people here never cease to amaze me.

Which, the kids always tell me I’m Lemongrab. Hahaha.

20 imaginary bucks to anyone who can identify that quote; without the internet. ;)

12 years dungeon, all of you. Dungeon. 7 years, no trials. C’mon, let’s move it.

I just read this. I’m sure we’d have a great time hanging out together. :)

To be fair and honest, it’s getting harder to talk to the old folks about stuff because their minds are slipping, and with it their English. Haha. Unfortunately, neither of us have very good...

Is that cedar planking, Chris?

You’d think so, eh? Not even close to pin money, though. I’m terrible at business, and inquiries tend to fizzle. Meh. It’s fun to do.

And an “art”. ;)

Here. Have a gratuitous boat art, too. :)
