For the Record

Well, I did get pretty much accomplished yesterday:  bread baked, a bit of lawn work, laundry, worked on fixing the treadmill, which is going to take longer then I thought.  Horizon has yet to respond to my emails.  Looking through the assembly manual that was provided, I'm not fairly certain any and repairs are going to have to be provided by me.  Now, ain't that just wonderful?

Both the new turntable and the speakers arrived yesterday.  All my vinyl (remember we used to call them records?) has been moved downstairs.  Even though, over the years, I've given many albums away, I held on to around 150 (+) records...  shit, I said records, I mean vinyl.  Let me tell you, some of these babies are classics.  Those records... (damn!) vinyl people are buying now, I already own.  And, after decades of waiting to be played, I knew I had to chose one special album to be the first played after all of those years.  It didn't really take me long to make my choice.  Sorry if the video cuts out rather abruptly, I'm not known for my videography techniques.

Speaking of records, yesterday when I warned you about the Witch Hunt (pt 2), well not more than 2 hours later I understand Loser #45 uttered those very words.  You can bet that's shivering the timbers of the GOP.  And, of course, the House passed a bill to create a commission to investigate January 6.  I believe 35 Republicans voted with the Democrats.  It now moves to the Senate, where there's concern a Republican filibuster might kill it.  We'll have to wait and see if we can get enough Republican senators to break ranks.  Just for the record, I wouldn't be surprised if it squeaked through the Senate.  Not all Republicans are in lock step with Loser #45.

 

Entertainment Value

 I see Blogger has been fixed.  Last evening, when I started reading through your blogs, I got error message after error message.  None of you were safe because blogspot was prone to phishing.  Of course, I ignored the warnings because it was everyone on Blogger.  Pain the ass is what it was.  And this morning?  No problem at all.

Since I still own a lot of vinyl, I've been thinking of purchasing a turntable.  There's really not a great debate going on in my head.  It's kind of like a... meh... should or shouldn't I.  What will most likely happen is that one morning I'll get up and just order one that's new, spiffy, and Bluetooth.

And I don't really want to go in to work today, mostly because I suspect some pain in the ass customers are going to show up.  I sold them their measure back in early April.  For a while, they didn't want to be bothered.  Tuesday evening they showed up with complaints about everything.  Ignorant complaints, one being they couldn't understand why we were putting padding on the risers of a staircase.  Believe me when I tell you this is a really stupid whine.  They complained that the cost of the quote was much higher then the estimate and, of course, it's actually several hundred dollars lower.  We had to send someone out to do a remeasure.  If they really raise a stink, I'll simply refund their measure fee and send them packing.

Here come the roses.

And the war between the Republicans is heating up.  One can only wonder what's going to happen when Loser #45 gets indicted.  Oh, and that's just a matter of time.  Evidently he has to travel to New Jersey and stay there for the next couple of weeks.  There's concern that it will happen while he's there.  Can we talk about fury?  The MAGA's will erupt and we'll get to see their lava anger.  This will be hotter than the anger they showed when Reagan was forced to testify at during the Iran / Contra investigation.  I mean, how could we do something like this to their false god?  As their anger seethes, their party will continue to attack itself because there is a growing group that is going to blame him for there troubles.  If we're lucky, Tucker Carlson's head will explode while he's on-air.  Damn.  How can you beat that for entertainment value?
