Told you…

Only keeping the best of the best……

Oh my bad, I forgot I those GJ2 Telly‘s were from Manchester music Mill up in New Hampshire.

It’s really hard to remember exactly where you bought a guitar when you have over 200 of them……

Tell you what….

I thought long and hard yesterday about your offer! Ask the girlfriend, she kept asking, “ what’s wrong?” All day!

Here’s the deal! You tell Porsche’a boy that I’ll slap my Subaru in sport mode and we can race!

If I win, I’ll do the tour! If I loose, I will stay home and bang the old lady every night! All while still writing for yall!

If he agrees the deal is final and as good as an honest handshake!

Either way mother fucker, you’re taking me for a ride in that new lambo! Comprende’?

Are you ready…..

This glass top, Frigidaire convection stove is in! That was a week long journey into hell! 😉

Originally I had this old drop in oven! I kept having to buy new ones every 10 years or so! Why? Dunno! Yet after this last failure I was not looking forward to spending $2000 base model for a new range!

So I bit the bullet and opted for a slide in range! Now getting the old one pulled and out of here was the easy part!

Destroying the built in mounts was the difficult part!

So with a bit of luck. An unsteady hand a 3 dremel tools. I got started! I found that the dremel rotary cutting tool worked real well!

It allowed me to drop into the counter, Formica, wood and all without chipping or damaging the counter tops! I also found if you remove the guard. It works real well at cutting through a nailed in board….. with great attention to not taking out the Sheetrock with the wood cut!

Now not only did I have ( laughing as this is not a low dollar build house! ) particle board In the cabinetry. I also had solid oak to get theough!

That wood bit did it all up until the last cut! Overheated and finally snapped! 🙂 luckily the kit comes with 2 almost identical bits! So the second one got me finished!

Doing this all by hand caused some raunchy cuts! Luckily a quick sand with a block and wammo edges are straight and looks decent!

So with that all finished I had to wait for the electrician to come out and move the receptacle down the wall!

Leaving intact the old one in case a new stove happens again!

As the whole in the counter is 30” and ofcourse the stove is 29.5” I have a gap on both edges! To fill that I used a stainless steel edging and to keep it leak proof. I added a silicone edging piece to really fill in the gap and make it more “ waterproof” for spills!

I tested out 2 different versions! One that’s more of a T style ( right side ) and one that’s more of a corner style! ( left side )

Any questions ask! Otherwise this project is done except for finding a silicone piece to put in the back against the tile to finish it off!

P.s. make sure to set your stove at counter top level! FYI…..

Ewww…..

Interesting twist! Electrician came out and moved the plug for the range! Not a cheap venture but not overly expensive! $300-$400 range!

I asked him to please keep access to the upper box so I can in the future if needed use that one again!

Now the twist is, even with the recessed space on the back of the stove. It’s still 1/4” or so from the wall!

So now I need to figure out how to deal with that! If for some reason it’s not a simple fix. I will have to live with it, But how?

As of yet I have not benable to find a recessed or thin line range cable? I have however Benable to find a rear stove gap filler! A lot like the ones I’m using on the sides….

So later today when I finish this install I’ll let you know how this works out…..

So….

Do you ever wonder if your 401k, Roth or standard are worth it?

My $15,000 and change of contributions is now worth $23,000. While my profit sharing is worth $160,000 and change!

Was that worth 23 years and 3.5 million accident free miles for them? No, not really!

Atleast I know that when retirement age comes that account will sustain my simple vagabond life…..

Woo hoo…..

Electrician comes out next week to drop the electrical box down. Other than that the dry fit looks good! Raise it up an inch or so. Drop the edging in and I think I I’ll be done!

I’m thinking I’m gunna pay the money to have the over the stove microwave put in! Cus this project was a mother fucker!

Bwoop bwoop!

Yes…..

I replaced all the fans in the house except my Dyson and another tower fan with these!

They are 20” industrial warehouse fans! The motors are killer from what I’ve seen! 3x’s the price of a Walmart box fan. Yet should last 3x’s longer….

By no means are they quite! Yet on low they mix into the background well!

Not to mention Mika loves standing in front of it…..

I liked them enough I bought 4 3 – 20” and 1 – 14”

Going to……

The guitar store after school lets out is always entertaining. Every guitar player there shoots their shot to impress whoever is around them. You’ll hear some really good guitar players and you’ll hear some bad guitar player then you’ll hear new guitar players!

Me when I go, I play the exact same thing you see me play on the Internet. Why? I know exactly what it is to sound like. I know exactly what I want tone! If I’m playing a guitar I know exactly how I want that guitar to feel when I play them.

Like yesterday, I played a 1980s Charvel single pick up single, knob guitar. I want to call it a gunslinger, but I don’t think that was right. I played the exact same thing I always play and I couldn’t get past the knob the volume knob! then I played a 1980s-ish court explorer triple pick up. Looked a lot like the old guitar player of Def Leppard’s! AnyWho, I played that I played the exact same thing. I got the tone I wanted. I got the sound on it, but I couldn’t keep the pick from constantly scraping the middle pick up!

So when I’m doing some serious guitar shopping, I don’t give a fuck about anybody around me. There’s nobody I want to impress. I know how to play. I know how to play well, I don’t give a fuck what you think and I’m gonna play what works for me…… Comprende’? Puto!

Oh man….

That was a fun ride! Went to go buy some heirloom tomatoes I delivered yesterday, today!

Hopped on the bike and headed that way! Got lost, ended up in estacada! Turned around, got lost again and finally ended up in boring!

Luckily the place was still open! Scored these lovely heirlooms and came home.

All while realizing I just rode 45 miles to no where…..

Yall gotta get one of these bikes! Even when I was getting pelted by flying insects. What a blast!

To top a wonderful day of work, riding and life! I will be cooking on this stove for the very last time! Yes, come in a few days. The new stove will be installed and life goes on!

Man what a great day!

I just heard…..

The news! Due to the fact I refuse to play this stupid ass game. You’re going to cut my hours? ROFLMAO! is it alright if I start fucking with my fellows like they have fucked with me over the last 9 months?

I will gladly play that game! Twill be much meaner from me but hells yea! I’ll gladly fuck a few of those dinks up!

Oh and fyi, spoke with my neighbor! She had a different view of the jumping beans banging on doors!

Her batch of stupid were much older and literally beat on her door! I don’t know what’s wrong with you people! Anyone who would do that to scare a little old lady and her sick husband. Deserves to get squished! Low rent cunts…..

Obviously they weren’t having an issue as one of the jumping beans had a phone strapped to her face in the video…..

Are you mad brah…..

That a mortal man like me can make not only your mom and your sister scream in ecstasy like that? Yet im pretty sure I could even make your aunt scream with pleasure!

All while you can’t even find a partner to even do the humpty dance with!

Jajaja, laoooooooser!

Gotta admit, it is a cool car……

It was nice to see the girlfriend skip all the way back to her apartment when I dropped her off last night! I can go to sleep tonight knowing “ a job well done!”…..
