Musical Monday

Moday's, for the most part, are horrible.
Music, for the most part, is good.
Lets take the two, combine, and find out what happens.

Every Monday, Ill be sharing a play list of music. This playlist will be themed. A certain subject, style, genre, decade, whatever.

FAIR WARNING
I dont usually listen to overly explicit music, but there might be some. Coming from a listening stand point, I usually just focus on instruments and the over all sound, and bleeps and cut outs drive me crazy. Just letting you know, while most of the music is PGish, there might be some hard PG13/Rs


NO MORE. MUSIC NOW.

This week I'm going to share some bass. Famous or funky bass lines, or just bass lines I like.
All the songs here I listen to because the bass.



A small, playlist. There are obviously a ton more, but these are a recent favorite.

BRO. COME ON.

sorry.





i'll try harder.




it's been tough.




the aspen is gone.


Pulled her out, and sent her off. 
Well, I put up a post in an Apsen/Volare Facebook group, and in one hour, she was spoken for. Gentleman came out and hauled it away. He plans on making it a daily driver. He has a few at his house, and was glad to take in another.

This, of course lead to a CLEANish GARAGE!
Bro there is another car in there now!
Some much room for activities.


I've got most of the garage set up the way I want now. Just some tidying up to do.
Plenty of room to work in the garage now.


Well, that's it for right now. I have another post already typed out that I will release tomorrow. Trying to get back in the groove again.

Captains Log : Seven - Old Habits Die Hard.

So...

It's been a minute. (Like almost a month!?)



Life has been hectic these past couple of weeks. Nothing too serious, just a lot all at once. Really took a hit with that oncall week, and just haven't been able to keep up ever since. I lost a 30 year battle with my neighbor over a giant oak tree. I wouldn't say lost, more like gave in after we both came to an agreement that I might not have wanted to take in the first place. Long story short, the tree was cut down. That's gotten me down in the dumps. Other than that, not too much has changed. Ill just try to get you guys up to date.

Go Karts: Acquired another kart. Like a legit kart! Helped my buddy out with some things, and he paid me in a kart frame! He and his kids race dirt ovals, so it's set up for that. I haven't really had a chance to work on anything, but that leads me to my next thing.
Tires are wider on one side, for all the sweet turning action on a dirt oval.


The Aspen: Well, I've finally decided to let it go. My garage is at maximum capacity, and there is now zero room to do anything. I am heavily attached to the Aspen, as it was my Great Grandpa's, and the starting point for my automotive interests. However, the time has come to let it go. I was adamant to not just scrap it, as even though it's not worth anything from a money standpoint, it does mean a great deal to me. I found a guy local who wants it, and plans on using everything he can off of it before it goes to scrap. Once it's gone, I can start work on the garage.
The Duke will live on in our hearts and our minds.


The Garage: As mentioned before, the garage is full. At one point in time, two cars fit in the garage. I worked out of it as well, doing small auto repair for friends and family, as well as bike repair for the local kids. I can't do any thing in it now. The two kart frames, as well as four bikes and two lawn mowers and a plethora of other things has turned the garage into a waste land of stuff. Once the Aspen is gone, I hope to replace the space it leaves with a small go kart garage and repair space. That would allow me to move all my tool chests and repair items to one side, and allow the wife to park her Passat in the garage.





That's pretty much it. There are a few other things going on right now that we might get into later.
  • Disaster Relief tool bag has grown! Tool Showcase and Review to come!
  • Good bye VW Rabbit? Selling of the Rabbit and it's (possibly) blasphemous replacement!?
  • Campground Prep. Getting ready for camping and possible VW Passat prep for light towing.
  • Yard Improvement. Its no secret I hate yard work. However, summer is upon us, and I have ideas!
Well, that wraps up this post, I have a few more set up for this week, and there is always the chance of a leak at work!
