War is all over the news and it's fuck-awful. So what's my "breakaway from the bullshit" coping mechanism? Building warplanes from 76 years ago. Also I need a new bulb for my lava lamp. I've had that for 26 years. #mig15 #modelplanes #histscalemodels #lavalamp #thewaterinsideusedtobeblue
Placed a can of seltzer in my lunch bag this morning, and it immediately ruptured and started pissing seltzer everywhere. On the eve of my 40th year on this earth, my 20's kicked in, and I shotgunned that son of a bitch.
I forgot to mention that Winfield Scott assisted in baking the khobz loaves. He's a good boy.
Here's what the tagine looks like, fyi
Today I made Moroccan food for seven people and didn't keep one morsel of leftovers for the wife & I. Our guests got it all. Hummus, khobz, Loubia, and couscous. The Loubia was cooked in my tagine, and it's arguably the best dish I've ever made in that thing! #moroccanfood #allhomemade 🍽
I may or may not have been slightly inebriated when I wrote this. I stand by my posts from last evening. Brownsville Station fucking rules.
BROWNSVILLE STATION IS SUCH AND UNDERRATED BAND HOLY SHIT THEY WERE INCREDIBLE
If you smell something good tonight it'll be my house I'm making Cajun shrimp stew with homemade stock
A collage of images from #Nosferatu of 1922 - on the left a dramatic poster portraying Count Orlok, on the top right the iconic scene of his shadow ascending a staircase, and in the lower right Orlok is fatally exposed to the sun.
On this day in 1922, German director #FWMurnau released the iconic expressionist silent movie #Nosferatu – Eine Symphonie des Grauens (A Symphony of Horror).
Not a fan of calling in to work for a bad back. I am a fan of hanging with my pets. #winfieldscottthecat #whitecats
There's nothing that'll move ya to tears more than hearing from a loved one you haven't heard from in a while and finding out they've fallen on hard times.
I really wish the west coast was closer and I wish my family was closer.

Trying to use religious undertones to justify a war in the 21st century is so bat-shit insane it ain't even funny. I can't wait to just run off to the hills and keep this shit-ass dystopia off of my back.
fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this
Just replaced the needle in my record player for the first time. HOLY SHIT what a difference!
Blasting Rust in Peace by Megadeth and working on the MiG. I'm getting it ready for some darker shades of metallic paint. #mig15 #histscalemodels #vinylrecords #audiophile #butnotastuckupaudiophile
Found this in the basement last evening. I have no idea how it made the trip when I moved out of my parent's house all those years ago. If I could, I'd go back and tell that kid that I still have all of his Ramones albums. He was one cool cat.
If you don't introduce your children to the classics, you're a bad parent. George found the perfect listening place, on top of a package my wife just got. #georgepattonthecat #whitecats
Post-hike workshop time. Different metallic shades for the control surfaces on this MiG. It's starting to look more realistic with each pass of the airbrush. #mig15 #histscalemodels
Absolutely gorgeous day to hike along the Genesee. Fuckin' A, man. #geneseeriver #rochesterny
Update- headache is almost gone. Blasted some good tunes on the way to the post office and somehow that did the trick. I appreciate you taking the time out of your doomscrolling to look at my unhinged posts.
I have a splitting headache but I'm still going to the post office to get a passport application AND I'm going hiking after that and if I get nauseous and upchuck all over a trail or US government property, so be it
I hate videos where vintage aircraft are flying, but instead of engine noises, there's some song that doesn't have anything to do with the aircraft playing.
The one exception being ANY video featuring a Bell UH-1 with CCR's Fortunate Son playing. No greater "fuck yeah" feeling.
I took an Epsom salt bath last evening, and I felt like some kind of ritzy rich bastard from the late 19th century while watching the Righteous Gemstones on an iPad perched on top of the toilet lid. Folks, that's what we call high living.
'My Wife's Lovers', 1893 painting by Carl Kahler (1856–1906).
There's nothing more invigorating than slipping on ice and falling flat on your ass right as you're trying to get into your truck to go to work. Fucking stellar.
This makes me want to build a model railroad now
I unfortunately don't have a layout...yet. I HAVE built several dioramas for tanks/planes where I have added scaled down versions of my dogs into the scenes. Makes for a great conversation piece!
