A young friend knew that I liked Nakashima’s signature bowtie joinery on 1” thick oak. He gifted me a Nakashima Commemorative guitar made by Martin Guitar. The bowties are not inlays & reportedly gave them fits at less than 1/16”, 1 of 100 made.

I wanted to make furniture in school and was told it was not capricious enough for a studio art major, 55 years ago. 1st wood-shop instruction was ‘59.

Boiled Linseed oil use faded. Seen old tables that used only that for generations. My woodwork heroes are George Nakashima & Sam Maloof.
Their work is in the Smithsonian & MoMA.

Kudos to Leslie Lamport’s 1986 LaTeX book & all of Knuth’s fonts from TeX.
Used LaTeX ‘88-‘03, paid bills.

@classicvibe.bsky.social I was gifted a signature guitar. Its music connection was that Martin had sawn wood for furniture maker, George Nakashima for decades. They made 100, ‘00-‘03.

Yes. Last ones that I saw were in ‘86 in Fremantle. Fleet races preceding the ‘87 Cup races. I was rooting for New Zealand who didn’t make it. USA defeated Australia

Got to drive a ‘66 911S & a ‘67 427 Corvette that my bosses owned. High end retail clothing & sporting goods. I did skis & sailing. Summer & Christmas rush.
Best investment ever was 3 performance driving schools, ‘99-‘00.
Max speed I will not print. Contour is rated at 149 mph. Never close.

Last motorcycle was an ‘82. Broke both wrists diving over a t-boned Datsun in ‘84, a career changing move.

Still have a gem bought in ‘99. May be the last one running. #55 of 2150 made.
A 2000 Ford Contour SVT. The US version of the Mondeo ST. It was an attempt at an M3 BMW.

Didn’t see Mad Max. Die Hard was great 1x. Was late to wrenching cars at age 17 in ‘65, $2.50/hr. Friends had started before getting their license. Fun to have known mechanics who kicked “checkbook” racers asses.

Fancy cuts of beef are >$25/lb, so is seafood. Cheaper beef cuts, $13/lb. Ham is $8 as is chicken. I recall chicken at under $2/lb.
Costco has best prices, hard to shop for one person there.
