    YES!

    I have a play list of 60s, 70s, & 80s all together, an it popped up. I had a good laugh remembering them.

    I have also come to the conclusion...there was a lot of crap music in the 80s. Rock side..well rocked. R&B side..good, not great but good. Country..ton of big hits, all in all good and omfg bad...everything else...some hits, lots of misses. As Rick James said..."Cocaine, it's a helluva drug.". or something like that.

    This guy got a day in his honor..



    ;)

    Willly's Mowing Service strikes again. Not something I am proud of, yet I am willing to own up to my mistakes.

    Otherwise, you have to admit. There are some very beautiful lawns that I get to mow.

    Hard to believe this last one used to be part of a golf course. The golf course ceased to exist in the late 1960's. Tho the surrounding neighbors are still finding the cups used to catch the golf balls. Alas no golf balls.

    I saw a kitten hopping across I35 about north of Waco when I was doing my hometime. The freeway was too crowded for me to stop, I would have tried to grab her. She made it safely into the grass beyond the shoulder. But he/she was so young, she was hopping, not running.

    I know she was a black and white kitty and her ears were dropped down. I think that means they are sick. Sad.

    Hey that dont look to shabby for it being aluminum wire feed welding. Aluminum is one of the biggest PITA's to weld in my opinion.

    I absolutely HATE welding aluminum... Its a beast all its own. It doesn't act anything like any other metal when it comes to welding. It is by far my worst process... And I'm not too sure I could do much better with wire feed.

    If I must weld aluminum, I prefer tig... In fact its the almost the only time I prefer using tig.

    The only critique I could suggest, based off what I can see in the pic, would be a slightly faster forward progression. This will help with the getting the weld to lay out flatter, and little steadier rhythm to get a more consistent weld overall.

    I will also praise the fact that you didnt burn a big hole from using too much heat or moving much to slowly. That tends to be the biggest mistakes I see with aluminum welds by those with little experience welding that material... And I will admit that I have burned MANY holes in aluminum in my time... Some of said holes were VERY BIG holes... Lol.

    It also looks to have good penetration and little to no undercut or scalloping... All very good things. Overall I would grade it as a solid B... Still plenty of room for improvement, but far from bad. As a point of reference, I am happy with my own aluminum welds if they come out in the B+ to A- minus range... As I said, I HATE aluminum.

    Yesterday, I had a Black 3 legged cat cross my path. He stopped and looked at Me in a pityful but creepy way. As if to say, Missed Me! Then I wondered if he gave Me bad Luck. Then I wondered if his name was Lucky. What does it all mean? Bad Omen.

    Our two OM's are black. The only lucky they have might be their quick use of their 9 lives. The older of the two is JB and he decided today that he wanted another turkey feather. Alas for him it means chasing another turkey. Yet what JB didnt expect was that there was a nearby tom that didnt appreciate JB. The wife didnt appreciate the tom and went outside screaming "Nooooooo!". JB looked at her as if to say "Awwww but I was having fun..." He then skulked back to hide under a small fir tree nearby the bird feeder.

    And for some reason we are not allowed to own Owls. My favorite bird and it has been decreed that we shall not have them as pets.
