Crazy little thing called love.
I'm trying to determine at exactly what point in time Modern music lost it's character.
In the meantime, please enjoy some of my favorite images from last week.

 

Sharing some of my favorite cosmic images from last week.

 

Everybody Wang Chung tonight.

 

My mind becomes confused.
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose.

I like hanging out by the ocean at 4am. It's surreal. Especially when our closest Solar System neighbors stop by to visit.

 

Just joking. Please enjoy some of my favorite images from last week. The morning planets have been putting on a nice show.

 

Some of us have been here well over 10 years. As was stated earlier we have heard the complaints many times and some us also b*tched and moaned about the Philippines' shortcomings early on. However, over time we have focused on the many positives of living here. After all, we are guests in their country and thankful for being able to live here and raise families.

 

I have 3 in my rented home - bought them from Lazada. I have never tested them with smoke, which is really bad of me, but seeing this post has reminded me to do that.

And remember, folks, it is often the smoke that kills - so have a way out planned, emergency lights installed, crawl on the floor, cover your mouth, get out quickly (no going back for that SM in the fridge!)

 

Recently I bought a Flux Cored Mig Welder, it is a Lotus brand and quite cheap P5,250 it comes with a free 250grm spool of welding wire and the company I bought it from gives a free 1kg spool worth P500 (Shopee) Co name, Far eastern hardware based in Iloilo 4 day delivery.
For anyone that wanted to have a go at welding this is the way to go, it is just that easy by the time you have used up the free 250grm spool you will be producing very good strong welds, unlike Arc welding you do not need to strike and Arc, just point and shoot.
Up till now we have used up 30kg spools of welding wire on this machine and it is still going strong replaced around 4 tips again very cheap and available everywhere. Other tools will be required; Welding helmet it does come with a free basic one, but a self darkening one is the best P1500, Grinder around P1500, various G clamps, cheap in Tops and Bottoms, source of metal Zenith Hardware they store all under cover, First project has to be? build a Table to weld on, at a later date you may want to add a Chop Saw, again I used the Lotus brand P6000 On Line, P10,000 in the DGTE hardware stores for the same model. So a basic set up is less than P10K and around 15K total to add a chop saw. If anyone does have an interest in this PM me and we can talk a bit more on the subject, I don't claim to be an expect and was given some tuition by a DIY welder that helped me a lot. Dave

 

Well, we all shine on.
Like the Moon and the Stars and the Sun.

 

I did caution in a previous post that a long, black cloud was coming down.
