I know absolutely nothing about Auto Harps. This particular piece was found as “left-overs” at a local garage sale that took place yesterday.

I drove by thinking there would be an actual sale but everything left out was free for the taking and I was the first one there.

I picked up this musical instrument with no clue how it worked or functioned. Once I brought it home a quick search showed it was made by a manufacturer Oscar Schmidt.

There is still a market for new models and sold all over the world. The particular model I have is an early version. I saw the same model on eBay going for $700. Not too bad for a freebie.

Just like that the season seems to have change from the scorching summertime heat to cool Fall evenings.

Photo was taken just before the sun finally set down below the hillside.

We decided once we hit the age of sixty we would start counting down instead of up. Today we celebrated Lorraine’s 59th birthday.

I went garage sale hunting this morning and scored this wagon that is in great shape. All the parts fit back together and no noticeable damage. At least it rolls. Lol.

I guess you can say 3 times a charm. This morning we picked up our 3rd Goldwing. I found this super nice 2015 GL1800 Goldwing in Central California. The previous owner was having to deal with offers coming from out of state and he was fed up with the long distance process.

We agreed on a selling price and today wifey and I drove into Stockton for pickup.

This bike is not only in great condition it has worked done that enhances the riding experience for both the driver and passenger. Here are a list of a few items – complete LED lighting upgrade by SoCal Motor Gear, rear spoiler, rear chrome rack, Centramatic Balancers, steering tapered bearings, assorted ARM mounts, SENA 20S EVO wireless Bluetooth systems (3 complete sets, one unused in box), Shoei Neotech 2 helmet, HJC helmet, brand new Dunlop E4’s, Kuryakyn rider backrest.

The radio in the Corvair has never worked. I don’t want to replace it with an aftermarket brand and lose the stock look.

I decided to build a boom box made of material and parts I already in my Manetarium. I had a blue tooth setup that no longer held a battery charge so it was perfect to cannibalize and remove the electronics.

Most of the effort was cutting out the sections for the speaker and controller assembly.

The finished look is definitely ghetto but it does fit the vibe of the 1964 Chevrolet Corvair.

Last month we had lunch at my favorite fried chicken joint located at New Orleans. It’s a place called Willie Mae’s.

This place is not in the best of areas but regardless of the location it has become almost a mandatory place to stop and eat.

While dining with our family I mentioned to my daughter that I liked the restaurant shirt they had on display.

Look what came in the mail today! I’m a lucky dad and appreciate my daughter Mallory thinking of me.
