I never knew the old phones were made of Bakelite....That was some amazing stuff!
I shot from the hip on the Bakelite name, I think both the Western Electric 302 (30's-50's) and 500 series phones (60's-80's) here in the US were made from a thermoplastic called Tenite maybe later ones from ABS plastic.

I was into selling vintage jewelry many years ago and some of the old costume jewelry was make from Bakelite and it was cool stuff! Probably taken over by epoxies and such.

When I was little around 6yo I had a bakelite fishing reel. Was pretty tough. It was a fresh water reel; my uncle took me fishing off the Long Beach pier and I hooked into a big(for a little kid) halibut and the reel exploded. Uncle grabbed the rod and spool and landed the bugger.

Well perhaps the mystery is solved. I've been disoriented and exhausted all the time for the past month, with a poor appetite. I was blaming it on the Covid vaccinations. but today I weighed the jar of rosin pucks from the past month and it's probably 4-5 times as much cannabis as I normally consume in a month. Yeah, that might just make one confused and tired :wall:

The cheeseburger was a good choice. Both @Grandpapy and I remember how bad the smoked turkey leg was at the Northern California Cannabis Cup.
Despite the human fragility taking place the thought of the Tangerine bud that was handed out makes me think of laughing.:(

Edit: You know what? I love him like a brother, of coarse I should laugh.:hug: :lol:

It’s a windy day here. The weather clowns on the Internet have been warning of gusts to 60 mph. For maybe ten minutes they upped that to 80 mph, winds that can do damage. They walked that right on back. Those gusts you’re feeling? Don’t worry; they’re within limits.

So then why does my fence suddenly mean something in barcode?

Okay, let's end the weekend with some Harry Mack. This is older, but I just watched it for the first time. His rhyming is like a super power - would you like invisibility, super fast speed, or the ability to spit dope lyrics off the top as often and as long as you like??? Good choice, Harry. Good choice.






The week's Omegle Bars was short, but really nice. Quality of Quantity.
