Well THAT was an obtuse link! Far better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Zappa

Frank named his kid "Moon Unit Zappa" - never really understood that.
IF she became an MMA superstar, at least then I could connect it to "A Boy Named Sue"

Dunno why Wrongo stepped on the OP, and regarding the comment about 'Just Play Your Guitar'
It certainly applies to us - as in 'shut up and just take your photos'.
-
As far as guitars go - yeah I have a 1975 Guild M80-CS. If only I could play it for what it's worth.
I also have a D'Angelico 12 string (it hurts my fingers), and an Atlas 6-string acoustic that I play pretty well.

Ask any Jet Jockey - they'll tell ya:
Suck, Squeeze, Bang, Blow

Fuel + Spark = Bang

Yep - Fuel, Air, Spark. You don't have all 3, the motor, she no run!
Skeeters (and scorpions) - I Hate 'em! 10,000 sweaty fans in a football stadium - and the skeeters'll eat me!
8 years ago some friends and I took the war to the bugs with a mist blower, Talstar P and Pivot 10.
2 years ago - the motor, she no run. Spark Plug was carbonized. Once replaced, back in business :)
-
This year - the motor, she no run. Spark Plug essentially new BUT! The Gas Priming Bulb has a hole in it!
Instead of pulling gas, the engine was pulling air into the carburetor through the hole.
I removed a couple of screws and now could access the miscreant primer bulb.
Quick check on amazoid ==> 2 choices: one 19mm dia and the other 20.
Bulb circumference = 65mm, divide by 3.1415 = 20.7. Order Up!

Replacement arrived this afternoon. Put the new one in, engine primed and fired right up :)
Skeeters - - yer done for !!

Wiki Sez: An Aussie must have a firearm licence to possess or use a firearm.
[1] Licence holders must demonstrate a "genuine reason" (which does not include self-defence) for holding a firearm licence (? so farmers could have a 'krav maga 308' for coyotes, and a Desert Eagle against rabid chickens ?)
[2] and must not be a "prohibited person". All firearms must be registered by serial number to the owner.
In December 2023 National Cabinet agreed to implement a national firearms register within four years.

Crikies Mate - you're nekked in the streets
AND - if 'They' later decide Nobody needs one, 'They' know who you are AND where you live.
Although I DO have a CHL, Texas is now one of the 'constitutional carry' states
Funny - much against the predictions of the gun haters, the wild west has Not returned to Texas.
In fact - crooks know that 1 in 10 Texans regularly carry - so they all go to chicago or kalifornia where only the bad guys have guns. I will NOT voluntarily travel to either of those states. Blue is Much Too Dangerous.

Hope you can get some Great MAGA photos - be sure to post them when you do.
IF you really wanna know about the 'End Times' - you can become knowledgeable in only 4 hours.

I appreciate the clarification.
You must be having a blast going through all those photos from years gone by

Tex - - just wondering - can an Aussie civilian even own or carry a handgun?
If so - what hoops must be jumped through?
All y'all might need something when the chinese come knocking - -
I hear they are boycotting just about all your exports because you (rightfully) blame them for covid
-
AND to help with your security - Australia is now acquiring ONE nuclear sub per year from the USA.
Y'all initially tried to get diesel subs from france - but they are NOT stealthy and FAR too easy to find & kill.
Australia is Also now investigating/purchasing modular nuclear reactors to secure energy independence.
When the violent future arrives - and it will - where will you be? Sheep or Sheepdog?

Might just be a shadowing effect - side vs front.

Just have to ask - - was #3 taken sometime later?
It appears hedge trimmers have been at work - -

And Dennis - I completely agree.
But we need to see the folly of their comments to know they are out there, they vote, and they breed.
soros and the left want socialism. Actually soros just wants to punish the USA/IRS for extracting his taxes.
Please left - SHOW me a socialist country you'd rather live in. And then, please move there.
James Madison said: Knowledge will forever govern ignorance.
And that is true - UNTIL ignorance can outvote knowledge. And we are almost there. Sic 2020 evidence.
In case lefties are unaware, Madison wrote the constitution.
I've been to his Montpelier home & library where he spent over 6 months to do it. And 5+ years until ratification.

Fascinating his home was owned for years in the 1900's by the DuPont family to raise race horses!
The FIRST move of a totalitarian government is to disarm the populace (hitler, stalin).
The rest is easy.

It's OK Dennis. That was not the image you or I need to project. They can and will react as we know they will.
But we lose credibility when we go off the rails.

My regrets to DaveO, Kracken, Texcaster - any others who may have feel maligned by my intemperate post. The world is made up of all kinds - just because we don't agree doesn't justify intemperance. I will strive to do better - but am unfortunately subject to human foibles.

Sorry davey-boy - this has you written all over it.

Ohhh dear. I've done it now. DaveO went crying to admin and got me spanked.
Some can dish it out, but can't take it.

Welcome to the topic Troll DaveO. Do you have anything substantive to add, or are you just deflecting - AGAIN.
