What did you accomplish today?

[WeedFreak78]

I still have his mid 70s Acoustic Research XA turntable. It needs to be cleaned and i thought it needed a new motor, but after reading last night, everyone says they either run or they don't, they don't run slow. Most advice says pull it apart, clean the bearings and lube it. I was offered $200 a few years ago for it in that condition. Apparently it's considered a high quality unit in the audiophile world. I've seen restored ones going for upwards of $600. I'm gonna fuck around with it, I might be rocking out to some vintage vinyl later. I think I even have a new needle around here somewhere. That'll be something I'll hold on to as long as possible.

The new turntables that convert records to audio files are not too costly. I have several hundred Grateful Dead shows on DVD's that I need to convert to files so I can play them on my MP3 player {or anything else other than a DVD player}.

I do several thrift stores every two weeks when I go to town. I haven't really looked at old records since I don;t have a way to play them right now. I need to start checking them out.

Uh, look what I've done? Won't be much of an achievement if the po po come round! Yes bit hungry on the right, I know . ..

In Spain, you are allowed to grow if it's not visible. I even topped them. It was due to the transplanting into larger pots with fresh soil. There's 5 huge pots (that the cats sleeps in) and numerous smaller ones.

The helicopter went by and did a 360 above my apartment. It's only a small terrace here, god knows what they thought. Been here for 7 years and this is the biggest one I've done yet.

So if you don't hear from me after October, well, lol, you know ! .....

Got roots?
One of my 6-footers snapped in a storm.

The 10 gallon pot is going back into service immediately.

I went out of town and scored a copy of Gonzo: The life of Hunter S Thompson for $4 in like new condition and found a nice acoustic/electric guitar with case for $5. The neck has been broken but it looks like someone glued it back and it appears to be straight, it needs a new bridge nut and another bridge pin. I looked it up and they go for around $250 used.

When I get back into town in a day or two ... let's talk

Sure thing.

50 miles today then another 50 tomorrow. Get the hurt out so I can recover before next weekend in the Ozark trails. Boat races at the lake come the weekend. Should be fun. Even more fun watching the pontoons get washed when the big boats come flying by. Biking, beering, boating and boobing. Can't wait!



Meat and garlic. Oh and pretty shitty Budweiser red lager. Trusted some dip shits taste in beer. He had a Nissan truck. I Should've known better.

I just finished eating some brisket I cooked overnight mmmmmm

Comics? No, never collected them. I think you're thinking of my vintage video game collection I had. I sold a few to buy parts for my motorcycle. Then I sold a bunch of them and saved some of the money up along with putting back money from work so I could move away from this shitty town, or go to school or whatever. Unfortunately I lost all the money I had paying medical bills from my two surgeries.

That was the second time in 7 years I've lost my life savings, a little over $30k combined. It really takes the piss out of you to pull yourself up by the boot straps and have them cut like that twice.

Whatever, life sucks. You can't let shit like that bring you down.

I wondered about that brisket.

Is that weird?

Bet it was awesome. I never knew the relationship between beef fat and bbq would be so marvelous

That was a good find on Gonzo.

I need to have a book sale. Half the upstairs at the house is a library, and all the shelves overflowed long ago. I try to look the other way when I pass the book section of thrift stores. It's got to be really special for me to bring anymore home.

I have a few old books that might be worth something. Then hundreds more just normal second hand books. Not really worth the trouble of having people at the house.

The book store I got it at takes donations and gives you a % in store credits for any books you bring in.

That was it! Video games.
I'm sorry you had surgery, I hope you are better now.

A couple three years ago I went through and gave all my doubles to the local library. They sell them to raise money. Sad thing is I bought some of them from their book sale.

I've been taking so many jigsaw puzzles to the thrift stores, they have ask me to ease up a little. The wife puts them together, and she doesn't do near as many as she used to. Unless it's a Springbok or some other special one, I don't bring them home.

I also collect old stereos. One room upstairs is just speakers, amps, pre-amps, tuners, receivers, tape decks, etc, etc. I'm getting better though. I only bought one stereo the last couple of years. {haven't even tested it to see if it works}

I was sort of like that there for a while but I'm slowly getting rid of it all and not buying more. I'm going to start selling my game collection on ebay again. I was making pretty good money off of it when I did last time. I'm pretty much done with gaming of any kind now, the only thing I really play now is Rocksmith.

Most of my de-cluttering has been since I've started hiking. I spend serious time and a goodly amount of money trying to get my kit down to the bare minimum, and some of that rubbed off on me towards my off trail life.

Now I buy wool socks. lol

 

[Chunky Stool]

can u kill more plants?

lmao

Sometimes plants die.
I needed more space, so it worked out perfect.

Did we really need another sock puppet...?
