I can burn stuff again
It was time to work with color, I figured longboards would look kinda cool so I built a few.
Blue Storm
The Atomic Pickle
Old Skool Maple
Cigar ashtrays also look great, stained and sealed of course.
Simple and sexy
Cigar and drink holder
How about some mini surf board Keychains? Also a handy business card.
Surfs up!
More colors
Sapphire
I bought an Explorer body and began to burn.
Mahogany glue up
A great burn
The results were as expected, excellent, so we proceeded. I found some paint that looked good, Metalcast by Duplicolor mc201. this stuff is made for chrome and shiny metal, so challenge met.
3 coats in
Results
All black hardware, Abalone touches here and there
Ready to fly
Lots of detail
Minimalist headstock
Fractal art is so intense that when you step on the deadman switch your heart skips a beat, and then you are mesmerized. And if you screw up,you die. Until next time, Tall Cans my friends!
Neat 🙂
How’s the guitar play?
I imagine you plug it in and pluck the strings.
It’s not a harp, but yeah I guess.
Very well, minor intonation, otherwise a nice guitar.
Dont get caught fingering a minor.
But if you do, dont fret over it.
that’s the worst pun ever, barre none
Tres’s pickup lines need a little tuning
don’t pick on the guy
I think we can let it slide.
You’re stringing me along now
That right there will get you in big time treble.
Really cool stuff here Yusef. Be careful.
It only hurts once…..
minor intonation
yet to be set? what does that mean?
It required
I like it on several levels
the Explorer isn’t my jam, but I completely agree it’s the correct platform for this sort of art
further, the deep blue also is critical to this excellent motif
black furniture makes sense as does the ebony fretboard
other motifs might include
* ebony f/b, blond body, black furniture, stain the burn to pop/contrast
* ebony f/b, blue body, stainless furniture (I don’t much like brass/gold anything even though that complements blue well)
everyone’s got one, but was the Explorer anyone’s workhorse?
Gibbons is more Les Paul, same for Frehley (these two usually not in the same comment), same for Rossington
Nielsen plays everything but maybe the Explorer 51% of the time?
well done, sir
T hanks, I did a natural Maple top flying vee before the xp, its pretty awesome
Good on you to notice, it’s perfect for my art, regardless of who owns it. It could end up wall art for all I care, I just want people to see my work, money is actually secondary.
I have some wood for ya, Yusef.
But you can’t ride my longboard.
My longboard is Electric, you couldn’t keep up, inlander
Are you volunteering to have Yusef hook his high voltage setup to your junk?
And can I contribute to a fund to get this going?
+1000000
Volts that is
Megavolts?
It’s not the megavolts you have to worry about, it’s the jiggawatts
Jigga, please.
How many Firsts would a Brochuck chuck, if a Brochuck would chuck Firsts?
Trick question. Brochucks can’t first.
Really beautiful work, Yusef!
Do you sell all these pieces?
Yes, I have few going to an art gallery in San Luis Obispo soon, people with money love my weird art it seems.
Thanks!
These look neat!
Excellent work. Sell them for cash and dodge the taxman.
I like the (first) ashtray. Now I want a cigarette.
A glib already bought that one,
Nice.
I’m near the end of the patch program but I have a feeling “I want a cigarette” will be a frequent thought for years to come.
Gimme your Addy and I can send a nice one, just the memories,
Can send you a nice one, just for the memories
Oof thanks anyway but I need fewer reminders not more 🙂
Not really, you’ll get over that in weeks. When you do want a ciggie it’ll only be a fleeting thought and you’ll be surprised and happy that you no longer need a smoke. You’ll laugh at those folks standing outside and be happy it’s not you. Then you’ll see all the money that you were spending unnecessarily and rejoice.
I smoke one cigar that lasts me all day, bad but far better than last year when it was a pack a day.
A few weeks sounds right, what I found myself doing long after the cravings stopped was patting my shirt pocket as I left the house to make sure I had my cigarettes.
I still do that, keys, phone smokes, but I don’t smoke, ha!
Cheers!
The worst is after a meal. That “reward” for completing ingestion is so powerful.
And sex, and coffee, devastating.
Yes and yes.
But meals are more frequent than sex these days.
And coffee just doesn’t do it for me anymore; today I drank a second cup in one day for the first time in years, because I was falling asleep at work.
Juuls got me off the cancer sticks five years ago and now they just banned it.
The whole universe of tobacco and nicotine is so @#$#!@%!@ corrupt it boggles the mind.
But yeah, I am looking forward to saving the $250 or so a month.
I vape 99.5% and it’s about 20$ a month, cigars are a buck a day, I hate this addiction.
That’s like a nice pay bump.
Yup & I’m moving soon at around $400 less a month rent.
I might not have a job when all is said and done but yeah.
8 years later, and I still want one.
I like this one,
Bad Apple

X-Files with Bruce Campbell or classic Night Court?
Decisions…
Campbell, always…
Markie Post with 80’s shoulder pads. Hmmm….
If you’re looking at her shoulders…
Brock gets it.
Gustave gets it
Schwing!
That’s a stellar episode. If you missed it, stream it some time.
I actually don’t remember that one; and I was a religious viewer at least the first few years. Life got a little crazy in the late nineties so I missed a bunch then.
Not only a great episode, but Garbage’s Only Happy When It Rains plays out the very iconic ending. Season 6, episode 7, Terms of Endearment.
Nice
Good looking stuff, Kia man.
Thankee Sean, things are blowing up in my art world,
Tall Cans!
Shitshow update: jetting didn’t fix it. Back tomorrow to replace baffles after all. It’s only money…
Just don’t start any siphoning using your mouth.
Neat.
Any band that covers ‘Ride the Lightning’ needs to buy an Explorer from you. That would be cool.
Call James for me
This is the song for the guitar,

Apropos
Drugs probably falling out of my ass, but…
Dr. Anthony Fauci to become professor at Georgetown University
Must me nice to finally obtain a sinecure after all that time working at his last sinecure.
I’ll eat my hat if he sets one foot inside a classroom.
Ten years from now some doctor will admit during a deposition they studied under Dr. Fauci. Then the malpractice insurer will have to calculate what that will cost them.
Good looking surfboards Yusef.
I like surfboards
Now do China.

Beautiful.
I like the cut of his jib.

Well, obviously the AI was instructed to make redheads look like they might boil your bunny. The coders got that part right.
AI always gets the fingers wrong, for some reason.
I should say ML, not AI. I’m annoyed by the constant conflation of machine-learning with “artificial intelligence”.
Fingers have always been notoriously difficult in video games, FWIW.
It’s interesting that the porn pics don’t have extraneous limbs or other body anomalies. It’s almost like the creators are spending more time to get it right.
I picked out ones that aren’t creepy.
Here’s a good counter example.

Noooope.
LOL!
That’s more like it.
Not clicking.
It’s mostly comical. Unless you look too long, then it gets scary.
JFC. Someone used their skills to create that.
It’s a brave new world, my friend.
Bob, that cigar ashtray/drink holder is kick ass. Well, it all is, but that thing speaks to me.
Oddly enough, when the pic first crossed my eye sight, I thought it was a pet feeder/water dish combo. I don’t mean that as if I think it’s made wrong; just that seeing the two “circles” on a wood base, and a feeding platform is only real point of reference for that design.
Which leads me to, “Hey, Yusef! Uhh, do you think you could make up a pet feeding ‘station’ like that ashtray/drink holder combo?”
And, yes–all of your creations look muy fantastico! While I’m not the professional surfer I’ve sometimes held myself out to be, I really dig the longboards.
OK–which glib is the cousin in this story?
The one immediately after that made me chuckle insensibly.
+1 The Trashman of Eternity
Late Night Leak for my pal.
It’s deja vu, all over again!
Also, we’ve reached PEAK AI, Wilford Brimley rapping Ice, Ice Baby.
That’s……….oddly impressive.
I mean, at least it’s not the whole “beetus” thing–one could be forgiven if one thought that was the only thing he was famous for”.
Also, how ya doin’ there, sizzle-chest?
Yeah, he was great in The Thing.
He was pretty great AS The Thing.
/oops, spoilers.
My next crazy tinkering is going to be with AI backed NPCs in Unreal Engine 5. Taking A LONG TIME to download all the needed components on my shitty connection. But it should be fun to have The Hat asking them questions about Donald and trans rights and such.
NO!! I won’t HAVE IT! A sufficient internet connection, for whatever your crazy heart desires, is a FUNduhMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT!!!
All these infrastructure bills paid for highspeed internet all in my area, they kept all the supplies at the boat landing on my road. But I still have the same copper wire installed in the 50s. I never get any of the graft!
So, characters with wonky faces and warped hands?
Morning y’all!

Unusual music pick today. 😛
Morning.
*waves*
Good morning, Sean and U!
How’s the 🐱👤?
Purring like a maniac on my lap. This is his last full day in captivity (I hope!) He’s due to get his stitches out tomorrow, and he wants OUT!!!
Hopefully there will be no more mishaps.
🤞
How are you today?
I think I pulled an abdominal muscle. Took a while to rule out alternate causes for the pain. Thankfully, if I take weight off the muscle it doesn’t hurt.
Owww! I hope that’s all it is, and I hope it goes away ASAP! 😟
Good tune.
She’s Rob Schneider’s best work.
Morning, y’all!
I am looking to adopt 1-2 “second chanc” cats.
The shelter I’m considering has this article that they recommend potential cat owners read.
It’s about vaccines. Apparently it’s ok to question vaccine practices in cats.
https://www.wholecatandkaboodle.com/resource-pages/vaccination-info
What about kitty N95s?
Good morning, hayek! Hope you can find just the right kitteh(s)!
That’s interesting about the vaccines. I know LBC seems a bit lethargic for a while after his, especially (it seems) if he gets a multi-year dose of the rabies vaccine. Big Dumb-But-Sweet Cat not so much – he has enough mass that he seems to take it in stride.
Mornin’
Interesting. The objections to “unnecessary boosters” clearly imply that the author believes that the initial immunizations are useful, and this nuanced take is reinforced elsewhere in the article. In the realm of human immunization, such nuance earns one rhe label of “anti-vax”.
Exactly. That’s what I found interesting, and my guess is the author knows the same applies to humans but it’s only ok to talk about cats.
When I had a severe lip bite a couple of years ago, the docs wanted to give me a tetanus shot. I told them truthfully that I am allergic to the tetanus toxoid vax. They ordered blood tests that came back showing my tetanus sentries were fully alert and operational, despite my last shot being in 1999.
No more “boosters” for me.
Mornin’, reprobates!
What about the rest of us? So exclusionary!
Oh, alright. Mornin’, Grumpy!
harumph
Stop pulling that muscle. You’ll go blind and grow hair on your palms.
Why do I associate with you people?
What do you mean, “you people”?? 😉
Rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists. You know… Glibs.
I was reared Presbyterian. Am I OK?
Look, I’m just combining two blazing saddles quotes here…
Because we talk to you?
because some of you are interesting?
Good morning, ‘patzie! How are you and yours today?
Mornin’. Mrs. Patzer is on premises today, so home alone, defending my castle. On the work front, perhaps management will make an achual decision on an implementation schedule so I can make some plans. A man can dream.
Morning links are forthcoming. Banjos is editing them as I write this.
