Such a '70s fixture. It seemed like he was everywhere, then he was gone (publicity-wise) and his son tried to get in on the act. It wasn't the same, though.

people who do some really cool or really great things are not always really great people, I was kind of sad to hear of his passing.

What was he before he was a Christian?

I love wiener dogs!

House Of Whites! that's hilarious! It's disgraceful that I'm so far removed from the goings on in town that I didn't even know they were playing. Two of my favorite concert memories: Niel Young with Social D and Sonic Youth opening. 2- New Years Eve early 90s Social D played in a big tent outside a bar called Sneakers here in Vegas. Someone accidentally elbowed me in the lower lip sending my tooth clean through it. The hole was large enough that I could stick a cigarette in it and hold a conversation without removing it. good times!

shit man. Sorry you gotta deal with more of your Mom's drama, but don't take on any more than you want to. Sometimes a big breakdown can be the ticket to some needed help, I wouldn't know but maybe that'll be the case? Sure wish you get a hold of your friend though...

The holidays concentrate life down on people. If things are good then the holidays are extra nice. if things are shitty, then the holidays are extra shitty plus you gotta see all the extra happy people on top of it. Tomorrow I put up my new shotgun shell Christmas lights! (duh, I could have waited until next journal entry to mention mixing holidays and firearms. my social skill are lacking sometimes.- hope your friend is dealing alright.)

Everyone's nuts these days. It's the modern condition, eh?

A tough call. Sometimes though you really do have to make a decision to not get involved, and i think on this occaision, maintaining some distance is the thing to do. As you mentioned, it was right, indeed commendable for your father-in-law to get in touch, but given the history, i do think exercising some discretion and maintaining some distance is the right thing for you to do right now.

It's a tough situation they've put you in. We all want to do the right thing. But when a family routinely fails to make good on any sort of committment to you, but conversly expects you to step in as the sober, balanced, and rational person to manage and resolve crisis like the one you describe, eventually.. you have to say 'no more'. I think you can tell that i'm speaking from bitter experience.

Right now you have to focus on looking after number one, buddy. For serious.

As always, if you need / want to talk, just mail me at work or on MySpazz and i'll get in touch asafp.

Shiny side dude, shiny side up....

no time for critter naps, had to work

What happened? Did the mean doctors get you or did you fall off your bike?

So what are you trying to say? You didn't cut off an appendage with those chainsaws did ya?

You are so incredibly handy!

Nice peice if fabrication! Reading today's post reminded me of a passage from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenancel. You should compile these blogs into a publication, for serious... Better Living Through Power Tools.. hehe...

Last thursday saw Hank III / AssJack with Rev Horton Heat at the Roxy Atlanta, quite a show!

Great vid!

catch y'l8r dude!

Well not really, if you only open it a little and put the heater next to the open window or door it should heat up the air just enough.

Could you put one of those elastic wrist straps on, that may help a little bit.

He/she same thing, it is still cute.

The one thing my garage lacks is sufficient power. no electric heat for me either, but it's not an issue outside of january and february. I use propane to get the temp up quickly then set it as low as possible or off. The building is pretty porous so I'm not overly worried about oxygen. This doesn't solve your oxygen issue but seeing as how you've got some wood for this winter have you thought about building a little stove? Maybe out of a 20 gallon drum? cats are cool. that's why cool people get called "cat"

I was just thinking that it's been a long time since I heard from heterochromia, so I was gonna go say hi but she's gone . I dropped out of myspace a while ago, tell her hi from me if you chat with her.

LOL...I love it. I have a ton of vids I gotta upload. That is just funny.

What did that poor tree ever do to you hahahahaha.

thanx xo babe.

Damn you're a lean mean fixing machine, it seems like you can fix everything.

That sounds like a really good idea, having places for snakes to hide is never a good idea.

Looks like you had a good time. How else you been lately?

I am indeed involved in that 'Flash Gordon'. All I can say is that sometimes, life requires sacrifice.

I really like your method of testing, get er up to ninety and see what happens. Nobody does that anymore, it's a dying art. or maybe it's not the art but the folks who do that who are dying? Glad to hear you got it taken care of.

i get to change my chain and sprockets soon - hopefully mine isn't as adventurous as your experience. glad to hear you got her back working again.

Don't know enough to really appreciate it, but you seem excited, so congtratulations.

I could see the pipe flaring tool working to stake the pin. I've also heard of someone buying a cheap harbor freight c-clamp, removing the pivoting end and grinding the knob into a dull point. At the ZRX forums there's a community chain tool & a dibs thread. Whoever has it just mails it along to the next guy. The Rex forums are reason enough to own the damn bike.
