For those of us alive in the 1970s, we remember the junk our fellow Americans were producing, whether that be guitars, electronics or automobiles, which opened the door for Japan to walk in. Dismissive “patriots” called it Jap crap, now their sites are set on China and India.

DiMuddios bore me.

No I am not.

I have two scalloped guitars, one I did myself with a Dremel and this one:

I worked 60+ hours for three decades, lived frugally and invested, now I can enjoy the latter 1/3 of my life.

I built a bass trap wall.

Most non-local transactions will require a company like PayPal, which again has all your data. I live right outside NYC, so it’s easier for me to do local deals than a person in Montana. I understand why they need eBay and Reverb, the latter of which I’ve never sold on.

I’ve been notified 3x my data has been part of banking hacks, so far no ill effects, but my credit is locked down so the info is of no use to open new accounts.
