~ Wind Chimes On This Warm And Breezy Day ~

(AKA "I Have No Wind Screen")

Why do people do this?

Why do people dump such awesome furniture?

A couple of bicycle patches, some electrical tape and
a Wesson Oil rubdown and it would be like new. It's just too
bad that I'm not in the truck today. Yeah, just too bad
I'm not in the truck.

I love you my raccon.

Pazuzu at Borden Cinema.

I hate dust in the house. Over here in the mountains I

have to dust almost every ten minutes. Look at the

dust on my computer's subwoofer. Ack. It never ends.

I took a few pictures around El Rancho De La Tex today.

This cactus, and I don't know what kind it is, is

about to bloom.

I just noticed the thorns (or spines, not sure which) on

this guy. They are intense. Some of these thorns (or spines,

not sure which) are over two inches long. Falling into this guy

would be brutal.

I didn't see this when I was taking the picture. I managed to

capture a photo of a bug hanging out on a bloom. I thought

it might be a praying mantis, but now I'm thinkin' not.

 

"The complexities of human pranks escape me."

A small succulent in a pot.

Spotted sprinting across the stage at Borden Cinema.

This is a scan of a picture of just a portion of the view

from a house that I lived in in Santa Monica, California.

On Thursday March 5th of this year Han Solo, ahem, I

mean Harrison Ford crashed his 1942 Ryan Aeronautical

ST3KR aeroplane on that golf course right on the

left hand side of this photo. Just another slice.

I bought this for a friend who is retiring.

She deserves room service forever.

My son received another nerdy Loot Crate and the

theme this month is "Fantasy". This great blow-up

crown was one of the things inside.

My son's rough-n-tumble cat

wants some attention.

Tie dye black top.

Whatever you do...

Don't. touch. this.

I hope this movie is as good as the name. I mean, you don't

hear a name like "The Babadook" every day. It says on the

cover that it freaked William "The Exorcist" Friedkin out so

there must be something good about it. On the other hand,

sometimes printing something like that on the front of a movie

cover is a very bad sign. It means the movie cannot stand on

it's own. But anyway, I've been waiting a good long time for

this one to come out and we shall see.

I also bought a set of "dog tags" from a seller on Amazon. I have

regulation Air Force dog tags that were my father's. I have purchased

dog tags at gun shows. These pieces of crap are toys. I'm a girl and I

didn't have to try hard at all to bend them in half. It's the good

ol' "you win some you lose some" thing. I will try again. Huzzah!

I just love night and to me even Carl's

Jr. is cool when it is dark out.

"Pssssssst, hey... what are they goin' on about?"

"They say they want the redhead."

Three Inch Titanium Day 2fer

First up today is my Hasbro Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter. This

guy is armed with laser cannons and proton torpedoes and will

have you screaming for your mommy.

 

Next up is also by Hasbro and is a Battlestar Galactica (circa 1978)

Colonial Viper. This one is piloted by Lt. Starbuck. This vehicle has three

engines that kick butt in space as well as in earth like atmospheres.

Even the Autry Museum of Western Heritage has

to deal with flies and such out on Trails West.

You guys are going to think I'm nuts, but I bought another

knife. Sure, I have more than one or two Victorinox knives,

but each one has a place to be. I just recently realized that

I need one for the box I keep in the truck, so I bought

the simple "Tinker" model. This is a good knife.

I also bought a Nite Ize Doohickey keychain tool for myself and

one for my son. Come to find out, they are pretty worthless. Pretty

much just a glorified bottle opener. Don't waste your $4.95.

I also had good dental checkup this day. I still have a wisdom tooth

that needs to come out, but no other issues. This is good and since

I was a good girl I received some souvenirs from my lovely hygienist.

I bought another very nice knife. This is my Becker BK24.

D2 steel. Stonewashed finish. Blade length is 3 1/4" and the

overall length is 7". Lovely. The price on this knife went down

for about 8 hours. I ordered it just in the nick of time. I paid

with tax and shipping quite a bit less than it's current sale price

Winning!

I put on the second set of grip panels that I bought when I

purchased my BK14. Let's just bask in it's awesomeness.

Now let's munch!

This knife will be babied.

Here are some stairs that are

fixin' to be repaired soon.

"Community" by Jeff Lindeneau, 1990.

Maybe they are pretend building something?

I'm just not sure.

Ramon Ayala will be appearing at Casino Pauma.

Ramon is quite a departure from the last person to

grace this "billboard". That person was Vince Neil

of Motley Crue.

We had a nice Easter dinner tonight followed by a viewing

of the 1987 version of "The Stepfather" at the Borden Cinema.

Staring Terry O'Quinn, Jill Schoelen and Shelley Hack. A movie

with a great cast and featuring some pretty darned grisly images.

When Terry O'Quinn's family doesn't turn out the "white picket fence,

great kids, beautiful wife and dog in the yard" perfect family he desires,

he offs them and finds another one to marry into. Get some popcorn

or other favorite snack and watch Terry lose his bananas before your eyes.

From my last trip to the Gene Autry Museum in Griffith Park,

California, August 2014. This is the shotgun used by "Black Bart"

from 1875 to 1882. He used this firearm unloaded to rob 27

California stages.
 

He would often leave "crude" poetry behind signed, "The Po-8".

This caught the public's attention and so did a handkerchief he left

behind with a laundry mark that led police to Charles Boles in a San

Francisco boarding house. "Black Bart" eventually served 4 years

in prison. Wells Fargo exhibited this shotgun at the Chicago

World's Fair in 1893.

And now my "Die Hard" collection is complete. Many years

ago I didn't care for Bruce Willis at all. I thought he was just too

"cocky". But over the years I've come to like that about him.

He's not just cocky. He has over time shown humility.

Anyway, I've liked him for a long time now. Ta-daaaa!

Just out and about.

Today I took a picture of a little

American flag on a car antenna.
