In the World of the High Tech Redneck, the Graybeard is the old guy who earned his gray by making all the mistakes, and tries to keep the young 'uns from repeating them. Silicon Graybeard is my term for an old hardware engineer; a circuit designer. The focus of this blog is on doing things, from radio to home machine shops and making all kinds of things, along with comments from a retired radio engineer, that run from tech, science or space news to economics; from firearms to world events.

Picasso's Blues Period
Note that I said his blues period, not his blue period. Inspired by one painting in particular:
Having a flare up of an elbow tendinitis tonight and it hurts to type, so I'll be a "man of few words".
No, not bending strings - trying to get a stuck nozzle off a garden hose! Right elbow, not left.
Sucker seems to have welded itself in place. Two big guys - my brother and I - with Channellock pliers and Vise-Grips couldn't budge the nozzle, but destroyed the hose instead.
Now that is funny!
ReplyDeleteElbow tendonitis, eh? Been bending those strings up a full step and shaking them on the way down? That will do it.....
