Finally watched "My Left Foot"

How was this an Oscar winner? It is at best a Hallmark/After School Special #movie - with Nancy Drew mystery music and a cheesy freeze-frame final image of smiling faces.

You've been listening to Mike Scott (The Waterboys) 2019 album "Where The Action Is"
https://thewaterboys.bandcamp.com/album/where-the-action-is

You probably know the voice from the 80s hit "The Whole Of The Moon"

In researching him, I became introduced to the Japanese term Manko, as he'smarried to Megumi Igarashi.

He's currently on tour in Americana mode with Steve Earle.

1964 #Corvair #AutoRestoration progress.

I've been helping the neighbor some with his 1984 #Porsche 944, and that has got me back in the mood to work on my own project.

Over the weekend, I blew off 10 months of accumulated dust from the fresh paint job, gently washed with new micro fibre cloths, and then promptly covered it with an indoor cover.

A couple of days ago, I dropped the suspension so that I could access the underside.

I need to address the lack of adequate underbody seam sealer situation, which is one gripe I've got with the place that did the bodywork. I mean, come on!

Once the underside is properly sealed, then I can start putting things back in.

And one of those things is a steering column upgraded with a slightly less-worn worm nut than the one that came in the car.

Just helped the neighbor get his newly acquired Porsche 944 running and took it for a drive with no wallets and tags expired from 2002. #BeUngovernable #ClassicCar

Watching Silence of the Lambs at 10am really messes up the rest of the day.

Google Drive download #protip for downloading large files from folders which have reached their download limit...

Simply select the large file and a smaller file and *then* click download.

Stupid Google Drive will dutifully zip the two files together and you CAN download *that*.

Trillion $$ company. SMDH
