My New Year's resolution is 1024 × 768 3:50 A.M. Sunday Morning 01 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... I guess there may have been gunshots and fireworks at midnight, but this was my 62nd 'new year' since I was born and I know nothing ever really changes and I enjoy sleeping so why stay up for it? Heck, my birthday is 4 days from today and I don't stay up to usher it in and it never fails to arrive. So anyway here we are in next year which is now this year and will likely…
6:54 A.M. Sunday Morning 01 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... Starting the day/year out with something (just a hair) older than I am, Lambert, Hendricks, & Ross! and their 1959 release 'The Hottest New Group In Jazz'. Side One: 1. Charleston Alley 2. Moanin' 3. Twisted 4. Bijou 5. Cloudburst Side Two: 1. Centerpiece 2. Gimme That Wine 3. Sermonette 4. Summertime 5. Everybody's Boppin' YouTube link for the song 'Gimme That Wine' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUou3ubtfGo
2:46 A.M. Monday Morning 02 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... It's so quiet here in Noise.app you can hear a flea fart. In fact, it is so quiet, I think they should change the name to Quiet.app According to various things I have read, eventually there will be more here to do than simply converse with people, but I wish they'd bring it on before everyone abandons the place...
4:53 A.M. Tuesday Morning 03 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... 17 °C/62 °F this morning with a bit of a drizzle of rain. Spent a bit over an hour this morning trying to sneak out onto the front porch without scaring anyone off before I could get a good photo of the raccoons. Pitch dark outside and shooting with only the front porch light it takes a few seconds to get a good manual focus set; the auto-focus setting takes even longer in low-light situations. The second…
12:30 P.M. Tuesday afternoon 03 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... Lunch time, or a reasonable facsimile thereof. Simply potatoes. Well, fried potatoes. Okay, FRENCH FRIED potatoes. Okay, a double-helping of thick-cut French-fried potatoes.
2:50 A.M. Wednesday morning 04 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... Jeez - this release is 52 years old this year (originally released March 1971), and I still find it as exciting of an album as it was back when I first heard it not long after its release. Jethro Tull - Aqualung Side One: Aqualung 1. Aqualung 2. Cross-Eyed Mary 3. Cheap Day Return 4. Mother Goose 5. Wond'ring Aloud 6. Up to Me Side Two: My God 1. My God 2. Hymn 43 3. Slipstream 4. Locomotive Breath 5. Wind-Up
8:06 A.M. Wednesday morning 04 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... "If I fits, I sits", and Emoci says it may be a bit of a squeeze, but she fits, and she thinks she'll sit and nap here for a bit.
4:12 A.M. Thursday morning 05 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... ...and I started to write this and then remembered today is trash day and I hadn't put it out by the curb yet so I had to take care of that first but now here I am. lol Chalk up one more year on my journey through the Universe as today marks the 63rd anniversary of my birth in 1960. And yesterday I got the glasses I have been anticipating and I can SEE things properly again. So the year is off to a passable…
2:10 P.M. Thursday afternoon 05 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... Peaceful afternoon, mellow buzz, cloudy and a bit on the chilly side at 4 °C/39 °F which is not COLD cold but there's a breeze so it doesn't take a minute or so to say "Okay need a jacket". So I'll just keep inside and enjoy the completion of my 63rd trip around the sun...that's a lot of miles. lol
3:53 A.M. Friday morning 06 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... Well I just heard it is allegedly the first full moon of the year but I didn't check to be sure so it could be fake news but I took a photo of it anyway and here it is. And it does appear to be about as full as it can be without spilling out of the sky so maybe it weren't fake news. But I was lookin' at it yesterday and thought to myself "That looks right near about full" so if it was then today I assume it…
I'd never checked my 'blocked users' list because I haven't blocked anyone on Noise.app, but I just looked and all my blocked users from Noise.cash were migrated to it - and I unblocked all of them, since I don't follow them here they can't bother me much.
Happy #Caturday from Emoci & Petey
Redbird (Northern Cardinal) and Grey Squirrel (albino) in front of the house today
2:15 A.M. Sunday morning 08 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... Jesus fucking Christ these son-of-a-bitch politicians piss me the fuck off. Bastards in my state just gave themselves a 16%/ $11,655.00 per year raise in pay. Works out to an extra $971.25 monthly for them - which is just slightly lower than how much I make monthly from Social Security ($996.00). Funny how the cocksuckers are able to set their own salaries without any input/decision by the people that have to…
Early Sunday morning (5:30 AM here) audio bliss with Led Zeppelin's third studio outing. Not as heavy as the first two albums, Led Zeppelin III has many acoustic moments, and a memorable squeaky kick-drum pedal in the bluesy 'Since I've Been Loving You'. A person could sit for hours and hours examining all the small photos on the wheel - it fits inside the front cover of the album and can be rotated to show different parts.
3:15 A.M. Monday morning 09 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... I thought I was going to wind up with a full-fledged battle this morning between the raccoon and the skunk over the sunflower seeds, but they finally adjusted to the other being there and both decided eating was more important than fighting.
My supplier dropped by yesterday evening with a fresh batch for me. This strain is called 'Sweet Nina' and while I prefer the taste of the Gelato 33 I had bought the past 2 times, this does have a nice 'tight' buzz to it.
2:50 P.M. Thursday afternoon 12 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... Yesterday it was announced guitarist Jeff Beck had died the previous day (10 Jan) from bacterial meningitis. The 78 year old Beck was one of the most influential early rock guitarists, standing along the sides of Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page in the English rock scene. So I'm spinning through my Jeff Beck collection today in memory...these are the first four albums from the Jeff Beck Group, and I have two…
3:30 A.M. Friday morning 13 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... Happy Friday the 13th! Early morning visit from some of the local 'coons, currently just at the freezing mark outside and light snow showers - not the type of weather I prefer. Guess I can turn the heat up a notch and see if that helps...
5:25 A.M. Friday morning 13 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... Well, a few hours ago (3:30) I posted a photo of raccoons feeding and mentioned snow showers https://noise.app/myklj999/px8m7n7p seems someone left the shower running because now it looks like this in the front yard.
3:50 A.M. Monday morning 16 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... I realized yesterday I have 5 working stereo receivers (although one is technically an audio/video receiver): 1. Kenwood VR-209 - 100 watts/ch x 5 = 500 watts 2. Onkyo TX-8511 - 100 watts/ch x 2 = 200 watts 3. Marantz PM630 - 65 watts/ch x 2 = 130 watts 4. Onkyo TX-2500 MKII - 27 watts/ch x 2 = 54 watts 5. Marantz Model 2015 - 15 watts/ch x 2 = 30 watts Oddly enough, it is the oldest - and least powerful - of…
3:21 A.M. Tuesday morning 17 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... My eyes cracked open And I slithered forth To the pot That gives the caffeine Of which I crave Amidst the gurgles And snorts Emitting forth Came this aroma Smelling as sweet as The summer sun on Warm horseshit No need for a cup: I grabbed the pot And poured the contents Into my waiting throat Only to then realize I forgot The sugar Blerg!!! I cried And then I cried Some more Salty tears Running from My tightly…
3:37 A.M. Wednesday morning 18 January 2023 Somewhere in the USA... Humpday morning. Downhill slide to the weekend begins in a few more hours - not that my weekends are any different that my weekdays. Overslept today, it was after 2 AM when I got up Although seriously I wish I could get my sleeping schedule back to a more 'normal' time. G'mornin' from the U to the S of the A
3 A.M. drinking coughee smoking cigarettes and other things and doing laundry and browning a pound of ground beef and a pound of ground turkey for chili I am going to be making later today...took out the trash a bit ago and rolled the can out to the side of the road for pickup in a few more hours - cool (7 °C) and wet out there, supposed to warm up to 10 °C or so later. And here goes another day in the middle of the USA.
Several years ago I had one of the most ironic experiences imaginable when I watched a psychic ranting online about how she had gotten ripped off by a site she was working for. Of course, being my usual charming self, I told her that was probably the funniest thing I had ever read, and of course she said she didn't see anything funny about it - and, of course, that was precisely what I was waiting for. And I said "Well, you're a psychic, correct." And she said "Yes I am but…
Drove up to Effingham (about 40 miles/64 km north of me) yesterday afternoon to go see my youngest brother's band at an album release show they were doing at a record store there.
#TPATH Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 6 album vinyl box set Live at the Fillmore 1997 12 sides, over 4 hours of Petty & Co.'s music, compiled from the final 6 concerts/shows of a 20 show run at the Fillmore in January and February of 1997. There is also a 3-lp version of this but of course it doesn't have all the songs on this one. And I am not going to say how much this set me back, other than to say my billfold is now on life-support. Track list: Side 1 1. Pre-Show 2.…
Queen Emoci showing how extremely disinterested she is in any albino squirrels...
I love when I look at profiles of people on writing sites and look at posts from 10 years ago to see what they were talking about then - and you see that, on the same day back in 2012, they posted discussions about their problems as a 22 year old woman AND their problems with hair loss as a 56 year old man. lol
Shooting through a few layers of glass that need a good cleaning so the colors don't 'pop' like they should, but right now it's too cold to go clean windows outside. Cardinals are pretty busy this morning even though it is snowing.
The only good thing about snow (as far as I am concerned) is how beautiful it makes the cardinals looks.
facebook reminded me this morning of this photo from 2 years ago, small flock of cardinals (and a few other birds) feeding out front in the snow.

Today was the first time in three years that I was not required to wear a face-mask for my appointment with my cardiologist at the hospital. :-)
A little Stone Temple Pilots (the first and second releases, 'Core' and 'Purple') on a Saturday morning. I like how the vinyl is colored to match the album jackets.
Had an appointment in the cardiology department of my local hospital yesterday, and it was the final appointment I'll have with Monica Scott NP (Nurse Practitioner) who is transferring to a hospital closer to her home to avoid the 2½ hour time spent commuting each day because she has a baby at home now, 5 months old and adorable. And Monica has been great, I've really enjoyed 'working' with her, but one (or maybe two) things I will really be missing now in my appointments -…
1:39 AM, currently -9 °C with a high today expected of -4 °C (that's 17 and 25 for us that use the Fairlyhigh scale). Been a few days since I've 'said' anything here, just not a whole lot to talk about, and with as few people as I am 'seeing' in my feed, not a whole lot to speak to either. To be expected though - once people realized they were not getting BCH (from Noise itself) anymore they decided not to spend any time here. Me? It isn't so much the money - it is simply…
