As you know I am given to illegal planting now and again. It's not that I grow illegal substances. It's just that I plant wherever and whenever I feel like it.
I picked my my meds at Kaiser today and put my machete away. I'm...

It seems that MyLot has been quiet for the past few days. Have you noticed this? I see Hot Discussions, or whatever they're called, with less than 20 comments. I hope we are not fading into oblivion.
Have you gathered the email...

One of the following two is true:
a) I was having a major psychiatric incident this morning. I called my medical provider to make sure my psych meds were ready, even though it's MLK day. I clicked on the bot buttons as required,...

This morning's practice with Durt Cheap went well. Our harmonies sounded good, and Tim is coming up with new Stratocaster leads for our country songs.
Later in the afternoon, I went to John's house to play music and watch some...

Durt cheap is the Country Band I've been with on and off for several years. We lost a couple of members and have added another recently. Our harmony vocals are actually quite good right now, so we're going to try to make good...

I just took a peek outside. What a quiet morning. The trees are absolutely still and the skies a dreary shade of grey. There is no rain. There are no birds chirping and no squirrel chattering at Kitty or each other.
I had better...

I am not a very good typist. Plus my keyboard is worn down, so I can't always see what I am typing. And some of my keys work "sometimes."
I tend to re-read my posts and comments before submitting them. But I still wind up with...

As you may know, I have had problems with the left headlight in my 2008 Chevy Silverado pick-up intermittantly over the past few years.
I have fixed it a few times, but never really figured out what the problem was.
I think the...

OK, so my attempt to turn my speaker restoration into "great modern art" failed. I was "busted" by my MyLot friends (and enemas). .
But I will have these JBL L-100s done within a couple of weeks. I will only charge $160 for the...

Nowadays, many of the things we write are stored on a computer.
But when I was in high school, most or all of our papers were hand-written.
In college, I typed my papers on a Smith Corona electric type writer. @FourWalls may...

I was researching something this morning on YouTube when I stumbled on some "catchy" videos. After watching a really funny Key and Peele video (do you watch their stuff?), I watched a horse rescued from some kind of water hole,...

The Horror! I just realized I am out of eggs! I reckon I'll head to Safeway before I head to work.
I have had a couple of slices of bacon and some yogurt so far this morning. And coffee, of course.
Maybe I'll make an egg with...

Most of the art on my walls is prints. I have a Van Gogh over here, and a Forain oiver there, behind the stereo. The Monet in my kitchen will be heading to Montana.
So did I really buy this lovely example of modern art for...

I did not notice the dollar signs when I visited MyLot yesterday morning. But I saw notification in my email that Paypal had sent me money. That's what sent me on my Paypal spiral yesterday morning.

For some reason, I cannot edit this photo and make it pretty. But there ARE flowers on my jade plants. It happens "randomly." I hope they live long and prosper.
My tomatoes are still alive and still green. My snow pea plants are...

I have been busy over the past few days with band rehearsals, lessons and meetings.
But I have read in the Liberal press that Donald Trump has actually been talking about acquiring or invading Greenland, and that his son, Donald...

I spent half an hour this morning trying to access my PayPal account. I allowed someone to pay me via PayPal for a Marantz tuner I sold him a couple of months ago.
This morning, I decided to transfer that money (I think it was...

One of the things that's interesting about being an "old man" is that I sometimes get leg cramps at night while sleeping.
I wake up and stumble to my kitchen, where I drink cold water from Gatorade bottles (in my fridge), and...
