Thursday Portrait......

With all these pain meds and antibiodics that I'm on, you find yourself dozing off at the strangest times.
Say at 5:55?

See ya tomorrow....Hopefully!

Retro Wednesday.....

As a kid we didn't have a real fireplace to hang our stockings from, but we did have a 'Fireplace Kit' complete with lighted dancing card board logs and flames!
This fireplace is in pristine condition, as you can tell from the vividly red color of the cardboard bricks...:-)

BTW...I went to the Dr. today about my ass. I gotta tell you it freaks you out when the first words out of a 60 year old Dr.s mouth is......."Oh MY, you need to see a Surgeon ASAP"! It seems that I have a 'Ridgeline' of boils of different degrees of depth, so they need to be cut, scraped, and sutured. And guess when this is happening?...9:30 AM on Thursday December 10th!!!
Somebody's 60th Birthday....
Happy Fuckin Birthday to me!!!
Thank You Everyone again for your well wishes and support....G

TMI Tuesday.....

Mr. Knowitall is taking a day off today.
Unfortunately TMI Tuesday is still on!
Starting last Friday afternoon, and I'm NOT going into great detail. I have been in extreme pain. I had not one but TWO boils on my Butt. Now I've them before, and they usually come to a head drain naturally.
These were like Biblical Plagues!
Today they finally started to 'empty' on their own. I'm applying warm compresses and peroxide to them. But it is both painful and embarrassing...Sorry.

I really would like to thank everyone that stops by everyday and comments. I am a terrible blogger buddy, and I a owe you all my heartfelt gratitude for cheering me up! I appreciate the wonderful 55's you write. For those that never write a 55 and still visit me...You Guys are Awesome..Thank You, Thank You Thank You!!!
I'm starting to feel back to normal, slowly but surely.
Monday's date was the most infamous day of the 20th Century..Thursday's date is the second most infamous!


As for the picture? Thats how it feels!!

Peace...!!!

A Lay Low Week-End....

Hi Everybody...
I hope you all had a Kick Ass Week-End!
As for me, the Week-End Sucked Ass!
I'll explain tomorrow....
But on the 'Good Eats' side, I marinated some center cut pork chops with fresh herbs, olive oil, garam masala, some alderwood seasoned sea salt, and good chile powder!
I then made some seasoned oven baked sweet potato fries.
After searing the chops on both sides, I brushed some apricot preserves on both sides and finished them in the oven at 375 for 20 minutes!
Everything was yummy!
Have a Great Week ....
Peace...!!!

Friday Flash 55.....

WANTED: Private Detective.....

I knew the Dame was trouble.
She had more curves than Mulholland Drive.
And even though she looked like a Kewpee Doll,
she wasn't first prize!
SUDDENLY...Everything went blacker than a bruised crow.
Periods of consciousness were as brief as a paupers will.
(Throbbing Head)
I shouldn't have answered that Ad!!




Ahhh...The theater of the mind!
I subscribe to XM/Serius.
My favorite station is 164..Old Time Radio!
Boston Blackie, The Thin Man, Richard Diamond, Johnny Dollar.
Any old Private Eye programming uses such vivid description, you don't need to see it! Old radios, and Old Time radio...I Love Them!
If you or anyone you know has written a Friday Flash 55.
Come tell The G-Man!
I will visit, read, enjoy, comment...Then BOOK!!!
So from the most ancient host from coast to coast...
Have a Kick-Ass Week-End.......Pal!!!!

Thursday Portrait......

The day before pay day.
Sometimes it seems that you are down to your last Two Cents.
But some days are luckier than others!
See ya tomorrow...
Peace...!!!

Retro Wednesday.....

I know what your thinking...Not another radio!!
Trust me, I haven't scratched the surface of showing you all my old radios.
This is a 1947 Zenith Holiday. The 2nd pic is an E-Bay pic. To keep old radios sounding great, one has to occassionally replace a tube or so...I can do that! The bottom pic is MY Zenith Holiday. Of course it sounds GREAT!
Of course I'll NEVER sell it.
There is a reason though that I'm showing old radios today....
You'll know why on Friday...hehehehe
Peace...!!!
