A Great, New Band Is Forming ...

Well, I'm at it again! I've met three other outstanding musicians (one of whom I already knew) and it's going to be a magical sound! More to come ...

Happy Birthday To Me!

The big 58! Just two years until I'm 60! As Frank Nichols would say, "Keep breathing in and out ..." Sage advice, don't you think?

It's Time for an Update, Don't Ya Think?

I've been busy -- or at least I think I've been busy.

Cooper Marketing Solutions started going nutz and all of a sudden there are lots of new products to write! That is great, and it's fun for me; however, it really eats into my Guak-A-Mole time! Not only do I still suck at electronics, but now I have even less time to work consistently on it; And I keep forgetting where I am, and what I still need to research.

You know, all of that is really OK. Most all of the money goes into savings for retirement. And someday, I'll might get to have the time to work on my projects, and increase my knowledge about electronics (Monkeys are filing flight plans right now for the trip out of my ass ...)

I'll write more tomorrow (yeah, right!)

Update for today ...

Well, I have good news, and bad news. The good news is that Cheryl and I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary back on 12 Jan 2012!

The bad news is that I suck at electronics!

I'll never finish the Guacamole project in time for Caiden's birthday ...

Happy New Year!

I thought I would wish everyone a very Happy New Year, peace to us all, prosperity and health, and mostly, love in our lives!

Guac-A-Mole Update for 20 December 2011 ...

I actually started and finished a task in one day on this project! I only had to make one extra trip to Home Depot! I built the display board frame! It took me awhile to get it square, but I finally got it close. I made the frame out of 2X2s. My idea was to make it 30" X 30" and attach it to the Guac-A-Mole with hinges. I bought the hinges but i didn't mount it yet as I need to do work on installing the score board and the clock. Cheryl's idea was to mount then on the right side of the board, so that's what I did.

I used "Handy Panel" for the covering. We will decorate it with drawings on poster board and then glue the pictures to the display board.

Slowly but surely it's coming together ...

That was too close ...

I went to Harbor Freight yesterday, and I'm in the store about one minute -- I hear pandamonium outside: A woman was carjacked at gunpoint right outside the door! Before I understood what was going on, the perp was turning East on Fletcher in the poor woman's blue car! She's OK and the sherriffs were there pretty quickly.

I always thought that I would fight back in a situation like that -- which is a stupid idea. I have second-guessed my not jumping into my car to try to follow the goons in the lady's car. I have since reasoned that they would have given me the slip pretty quickly. Yeah, that's the ticket ...
