Well the birthday has come and gone, nothing special. With taxes being due and the gas prices rocketing into oblivion my business has ground to a halt. I can only hope that with rebate checks coming shortly, people will buy a tank of gas and then something from me.

Happy Day My Dear. <3

Aw, why aren't you happy about being a year older?
I had another bad day at work yesterday. Payscum, paypal for the masses, payscum for the people who use it to sell, decided in it less than infinite wisdom to investigate another sale I made 2 weeks ago. They take the money while they investigate without reason, no buyer complaint, just they wanted to see how long it would take someone to call and rip...

Hey! Don't use the phrase dot head!!!
In other news, I was thinking about you the other day because it had been so long since we last spoke. Not cool though that you are having some shitty days at work.

I thought I had seen it all. The other day on Red Tube I found something that was new and disgusting.
brazilian fart sniffing, I was so stunned it took me about 20 seconds for the insanity of it to sink in. Now are we going to see German Fart sniffing, or Russian, it was so bizarre I just had to post.

LMAO thanks for sharing that

Geez. That is a kink I cannot get with, that's for sure... 
Last Saturday my friend and I were watching some DVD's and the power went out around 6 and we sat here waiting for it to come back on. She left at 8 and a little before 10 the police came through with their loud speakers saying that the power would be back on by 6 in the morning. I called some people on my cell...

beautiful animal, the long haired ones can be bad in the house though
Oh, she's an outdoor cat. Not my choice, I'd rather she lived indoors, but she does just fine out there! She sleeps under the house amongst the duct work from the heater so she's nice & toasty. Plus she has a very thick coat and fat layer, hahaha!
dinah:
aw, what a compliment!
I made it through a real tough time where I had some huge bills to pay and just as I got them out of the way, this month has a few big ones as well, but March looks like clear sailing.
I went to see my terminal friend. We had dinner at his house and his wife in front of their 13 year old daughter...

I love to make a woman come. I think I like it better than having an orgasm, myself.

Hahaha. Sorry!
Lately things seemed to be turning around for me. I got out from behind a couple of big debts and was hoping to breathe a little easier in the coming weeks in my business, but then the government used the R word and sales stopped. Oh well, not like the people out here selling did not see a soft economy for a long while.

You should totally get it on with those waitresses.
I still can't figure out why anybody would live in PA if they didn't have to, but I don't like the cold. Before you decide to move to Vegas, you might consider Austin. It's a very hip place...

I remember my first piece of equipment I was taught at the repair school, tubes, I remember them well.
Ah, so you'll appreciate the specs on this one: It's a single ended design using one 12AX7 and one EL84 (6BQ5), and it should put out somewhere around ten watts or so. I'm going for the low wattage to be able to push the amp into power tube saturation at a much lower volume. It's getting a 15" speaker in a big cabinet so it'll sound BIG. Check my previous journal entries for more boring details...
guitargeek:
there was a short cut, it was to touch the top of the capacitors and if you got zapped it was bad
The first thing any good amp tech does upon opening up a tube amp chassis is to discharge the filter caps. As I'm sure you know, they can store enough of a charge to kill you quite dead even when the unit is unplugged...
This has been a very strange few weeks. One week great sales, one week shit, one week great, one week shit. I have a couple of big bills to pay this month and when everyone pays me I will just make it, and I have 2 weeks to go. That is the good part, then there was today. All day long nothing seemed to go...

I love the Amazing Race, have watched it since the end of the first year. I even saw the start of a race a few years ago. When I watched it last night and the Fast Forward was to get a tattoo I though of some of the racers in the past that were nicely decorated it would have been a no brainer for them....

So, how have you been these past like six months? I've missed you too. 
This has been a really insane last 12 hours. I called a friend to see if I could come over to his house for Thanksgiving, he makes Turkey and the worlds best ham and I have been there almost every turkey day when I am in the area. His wife told me he is not home, but in the hospital with another heart attack. I...

You are absolutely right about the cat/dog love. They love you no matter what you do. It's comforting.
How is your friend doing, by the way?

I suspect all of that will be fine, assuming that the government gives them back all land currenttly held 'in trust', by which they mean 'leased out to Dick Cheney's freinds at very low rates for which the tribes recieve abiut 3 cents to every dollar the US Government pockets. Remember, on paper most tribes are wealthy in mineral and oil rights. The government is still fucking them daily.
I guess that I will not be getting the new job, oh well. If they call on Monday, I will tell them I am not available until the following week as I actually made plans to be out of town for a day or so. I have a new routine, I get up and do work on the computer, then have coffee, get some fresh...

have a nice weekend!
I was offered a job near where I live. I like the manager but the guy I will be working with is a piece of shit. In the last week two new hires quit on their first day. I will have to think about working there. I will not tolerate being talked down to by someone who is used to it because of his upbringing...
