Can't believe this is still active
As the title says, I can't believe this is still here. I had a nce about a year ago it was to be shut down. But seems the Russians have assumed ownership of the site. Which means, who knows! If anyone who was on here years ago still reads this, please comment.

Obviously I have survived and not gotten the dreaded Covid or its variants so far. Have that the three shots and have avoided places where so many of the anti vaxers ( Read more... ) -
Hurt like hell.
I will admit to being rather lethargic the past few weeks. Not sure why, I did have cataract surgery on both eyes spread out over about the last few weeks. Which admittedly limited my activities.

Irish Bouzouki
Well the Zouk, is nearly finished, Only needs the correct tuners and bridge pins. It is strung up to get the top to settle in. Once the tuners and bridge pins are in, a final intonation tune up from what I understand. Eventually, I want to have a matching 6 string guitar made.

My back is killing me.
Been wondering how so may of my old LJ friend ( Read more... ) -

Charlottesville
In 1967, when walking down the stairs into the Lincoln High School bowl for my graduation, someone handed out pamphlets to the boys. It was for them to consider the reasons to join or not join the Armed services or avoiding the draft. I was not sure what I was going to do, wait it out, perhaps get a high draft number, go to college, work in a ( Read more... )
