RG,
I’m kinda with you with that. Beacon has gotten a bit over the top, and I hear a lot of remorse there.
I enjoy a lack of congestion, and I for one don’t appreciate tourists. Not far away in Cold Spring there is a lack of parking, and residents have to pay to park in their own community.
I’m cool with Peekskill the way it is. I also say good for Newbough. I’m kinda glad we got priced out of Beacon. When we were looking at properties there it was slim pickings.
All I want is to live in peace. Part of the charm of Peekskill is its own identity, individuality, and quirkiness. Gentrified areas get to be pretty much the same.
BTW I love my low taxes. Peekskill will have its day in the sun, but I hope it is way in the future. The way the housing shortage is, there is not enough available land to build on where people want to live. This imbalance surely will play out sometime.
Remember Peekskill is the “Gateway” to the Hudson Highlands, and is strategically located by the Bear Mountain Bridge, and the two adjoining mammoth State Parks that is basically wilderness. Northern Westchester is a NYC watershed area, so this area will suffer limited further development. Good for me.
Then again, Peekskill is an hour’s train ride to Grand Central on Metro North…
What is not to love.

Afternoon Devil Cal,
Guess who perched on our feeder for half an hour yesterday?
Owl in our Apple Tree by Nokton48, on Flickr
Often about 11:00 AM I hear the pair hooting back and forth, deep way back in the woods.
I am contemplating dusting off my 70mm stuff and getting active with it again burning some rolls.
And also an upcoming project with my fat pixel Blads.

RG,
You-suck factor is kinda cool.
This term I developed when we lived in Greenpoint. We rented a row house that was 25 feet wide. Had the basement and two floors. The house had just been remodeled and done really nicely.
The situation was that it was the wife’s mother’s house originally, and the next generation lived there. The family had three girls and the father was a NYPD cop.
There was a third floor and a friend of theirs rented the top floor. Bill was also a NYPD cop.
This was back before September 11th, and the housing market was going crazy. Of course finding a nice place to live in NYC is pretty hard to do. Many apartments have not been updated in mucho decades, and to find a nice place that was affordable was kind of a miracle.
So we had a house party to show off our new abode. We occupied two floors of 900 square feet each, plus a 900 foot basement, plus a backyard that we made into a intense garden.
My friend Tim, the idiot savant guitar player, said, “You live in a mansion.”
The second floor back in the day was the salon floor with tall ceilings, and the master bedroom was 20x35 feet, bigger than many people’s apartments. Figure 700 square feet for just a bedroom.
So we invited a large group of friends, who were beyond amazed on how we lived. When they asked about the rent, that’s when we got the dirty looks. Pretty much without saying, “You suck,” it was said through facial expression. Pure jealousy. LOL.
This happened repeatedly BTW with everyone.
To add insult we at this time were just “Maggie” and me. 1800 square feet of living space, a backyard and a basement for just us. The creature, Maggie’s daughter, was off in college. So for two people it was pretty much a palace.
Another story is I would jog home from Sloan-Kettering where I worked on 68th Street and York. There was this co-worker I worked with that was not only younger than me by about 15 years, but she kinda had a swimsuit body with a supersized bust along with slender arms and a tiny waist.
I would wear these convertible pants where the legs zipped off to become shorts, and because I sweat a lot I would run bare chested. Also know that part of me is an exhibitionist, so pretty much I’m a natural show off.
So Eva and I would jog home after work working our ways downtown along the Eastside, and then over the Williamsburg Bridge. At that time we lived on the Southside of Williamsburg, and that section of Williamsburg had not yet been conquered by hipsters.
We had a loft with 14 foot ceilings that was pretty close to being under the Williamsburg Bridge. At that time the Domino Sugar Refinery was operating, kinda like living next to a bomb factory. Sugar refineries sometimes explode. A cloud of sugar can ignite, and the resulting explosion can be on the scale of a fuel air bomb. While not a “Daisy Cutter” still a rather powerful bomb potential.
We lived half a block away in a certain no-man’s land booby-trapped with dog feces from the hipsters who lived on the Northside.
So one afternoon, Eva and I on a hot afternoon are on the Williamsburg Bridge jogging. An attractive hipster girl is walking towards us, and as she approaches she adjusts her glasses to get a better look at a sweaty jogger with a cut build.
She smiles at me flirting. I take that as a compliment, but Eva reports that she got a dirty look and called that hipster girl, “a bitch.”
Again you suck factor.
Meanwhile I’m old enough to be that hipster girl’s father.
You can’t make this stuff up…
Eva would continue her jog to North 7th and Bedford where she would catch the “L” train to Bushwick where she lived.
So imagine having a running partner that has a body like Annie Fanny bouncing along with me for the about 6 mile jog home.
Pretty inspiring. To give you an idea of how lean Eva was is she was a Marathon runner. Kinda crazy. Of course this kinda amplified the size of her round bust hidden under a tight t-shirt.
Ah, the good old days… Trophies…
The electrics don’t have you-suck factor until you plug them in and play them, but the acoustics are pure lust even visually. Pretty much are trophies.
Tomorrow and Tuesday we have the grandson. We went to Trader Joe’s to load up on some food, and we stopped off at Lowe’s to buy a 105 piece Craftsman tool kit for the kid’s new home.
The grandson has a fascination with tools BTW, and even though he will only be 3 in August he is very advanced, except for his speaking. The kids have some cheapo leftover tools that pretty much are throwaways.
Anyways this is a bit of a social experiment about putting tools away, and not loosing them. To be honest I trust the going to be 3 year old grandson more than the parents and the granddaughter who soon will be 11. In fact I kinda know he would be rather upset if tools went missing.
So I kinda bought a $99.99 105 tool kit for entertainment to see if a almost 3 year old can control his parents and sister.
I already taught the grandson, and unlike his parents, he listens to me.
Place your bets… LOL.
They close on the remodeled cottage Tuesday.

I have strings on the Pinecaster Tele.
Without plugging in I can already tell that the sound is hyper-scooped, meaning the mids are kinda sucked out.
The tone is mostly highs, but there is some form of sweetness there, some form of compression of sorts.
I kinda expected a thinner sound so installed is a Lollar J-Street somewhat high output pickup, and I used 500K pots to thicken the sound. Overall this pickup has pronounced thickness and low end. Things might balance…
Also it seem the brass saddles on the bridge didn’t really mellow out the body. So pretty much uncharted territory for me. Could be great, or it could really suck. Oh-well, live and learn.
The good is that the guitar plays well, and a conciliation is if things don’t work out, is that all the parts and the neck can be recycled to the 1-piece alder Tele body no problem.
This guitar weighs 5 1/4 pounds so there is value here for a travel guitar, or a gift to the grandson who hopefully is a future prodogy. The body remains raw wood, so pretty much it is a mockup right now. I’ll wait to warm weather and low humidity day to start spraying a lacquer finish.
Fender’s first Tele’s were made of pine…
It will be interesting to plug in.

Glad to have shared that piece of history when we did the death march. Remember the spot up the bridge that was fenced off but still got to squeeze the lens in between the fence wiring and got some clean shots of the view. LIC glass condos on the right, the remodeling Dominos refinery and Manhattan with the Empire state in the left. Your loft that nowadays is blocked by some cruiser like building as I could see in Google street view. Glad to have the mucho industrial looking shot with your story, and I think I printed it out somewhere.
Kids playing with tools, hammers and nails to build backyard contraptions should be renormalized. In my grandparents' house that was the available entretainment sometimes. I put up a "fence" of a few steel rods and a cord to mark the territory, which is still in place. However, any blue collar talent I have not further developed

Glad I got my shot at history, and documented a disappearing NYC.
I think I’m teaching the grandson to be rounded out and to live in the realm of possibilities. Don’t know if he has talent, but he has mucho good looks and knows he’s cute.
I think if he had his choice he would want to live with us.

The Pinecaster is interesting. A kinda bright guitar that seems to also compress any sharpness that is harsh. No compressor pedal needed.
There also is this clarity that has an acoustic quality.
Anyways a new experience for me.
I’m letting the new neck take it’s set, and I will cut the nut slots deeper. I seem to have my chops back in cutting nuts with vast precision.
I kinda love the clean sound from this guitar. Kinda inspiring and refreshing.

This Friday I have an appointment with a new hematologist that works with my radiation oncologist. I’ll be tested and this will lead likely to me being prescribed an “inhibitor” that further eliminates my testosterone.
Pretty much this buys me an extra 6% of survival chances: from 72% to 78%.
The hormone treatment looks to be extended to a 2 year term, and it actually will take 3 years in total to see if I am cured or not. It takes about a year for testosterone levels to normalize, so you have to add a year.
After such treatment I can expect a lower level of testosterone just due to aging, but in some cases testosterone levels never come back at all.
So pretty much up to me to eat right to avoid weight gain and to do enough strength training to not loose lean muscle mass that is part of this fem-out. Other diseases can set in otherwise like heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, all of which I am, or was, low risk because of my low BMI.
I also need the strength training to prevent bone loss.
So my treatment level increases, while I still recover from the radical prostatectomy surgery that was performed mid January. After Memorial Day radiation treatment will begin. It is expected 7-8 weeks.
With the chemical castration still no side effects, except perhaps a mildly lower energy level. I would not call this fatigue, but I see the mechanisms that stem from weight gain that lead to chronic diseases. There is a struggle to stay lean and mean despite having no testosterone.
Perhaps a second side effect could be some soreness and stiffness after strenuous exercise. I am old, but without the testosterone my body is a bit less resilient, and it takes a bit longer to recover.
So the side-effects so far are manageable and expected.
The Pinecaster I figured out what is truely great and novel about that guitar that I now appreciate and love: it has wonderful note separation to exploit. Pretty much head and shoulders above all my other Teles and the Strats.
Today the kids close on the cottage in Carmel. “Maggie” warned me that the cottage is small.

I’ll be seeing the kid’s new cottage later today. We have the grandson, and after the closing we will head over to Carmel.
The cottage was built in the 50’s as a vacation home and it has lake rights, but is not waterfront. Carmel unofficially is part of the NYC watershed and there is a series of lakes there. It is in Putnam County, but know that Peekskill borders Putnam County, but is the most north western corner of Westchester.
The Empire State Trailway is nearby, and unlike in Yorktown it has even more of an upstate country vibe.
I can see dropping off “Maggie” an disappearing onto the trailway with my bike to get in extended rides of 3-4-5 hours. Carmel is a preferred location to start a ride because the trailway opens up and has few street crossings, unlike Yorktown.
There is “Butt-Hill” though in Carmel, a rather steep climb that many cyclists walk their bikes. It needs some attack momentum, and then a close to granny gear to spin up, or a hammer with strong legs to use entire body strength to stand and use a bike like a Stair Master stretching or trying to break your chain.
Carmel leads to the Great Swamp in Brewster, a wonderful section, that is the second biggest wetland in “downstate” New York. I think the biggest wetland downstate is the Jamaica Bay preserve by Kennedy Airport. The Great Swamp is a series of preserves that are lakes and swamps.
The cottage has been insulated well, has brand new windows, and mini-splits for HVAC. The septic system is brand new.
The bad is a fence is needed to coral the kids, there are some trees that are too close to the house that need being removed, and the yard is small. Kinda close to a commercial district also.
Taxes are mucho cheap. The finished basement is not taxed as living space. There is also a wood stove in the basement.
So the kids will kinda be living below their means and this pleases me.
Had one of my big breakfasts that is likely over 1200 calories. Did my max set of pull-ups (8), and will do a max set of pushups. Should be able to do 60 or more, dirty quick ones that are explosive.
I’m really digging the Pinecaster. Glad I decided to experiment. It is an asset. The surprise here is that ends up being a wonderful guitar for jazz because of clarity and note separation. There is an acoustic quality I love. The sound/tone is very scooped, meaning a real lack of mids, mostly treble and bass with almost no midrange. Interesting.

“Maggie” e-mailed me an article where testosterone was argued about between a biologist and a sociologist.
Two constructs were made, and both held their points.
So multifaceted the construction of masculinity. I have my own theory.
A friend we call “Zipper” because he was a skinny scrawny guy. Zipper basically used steroids and became a male stripper to put himself through college. Anyways the link between Cancer and steroid use is documented.
I asked Zipper about elevated “T” and male aggression, and he said/mentioned it was really about your innate personality. If you are a kinda relaxed guy pretty much no change, but if you already are an innately aggressive guy it can push you over-the-top.
So pretty much I don’t think I have a high level of “T” but innately I might be an Alpha Male though or because of society and culture. I was exposed to lots of violence and aggression from others, and I learned to respond.
My physical strength is great, but this is through hard work, exercise, and physical conditioning. I do not have the bulk of a muscle head, I have a boy’s body.
So interesting the male aggression, and its origins.
Then there is my blood type: B+. Only about 5% of the population have this blood type. “Eating Right For pour Blood Type” writes about anthropology, evolution and his hypothesis is that blood type evolved with certain developments in man’s evolution.
B+ Dr. Addams states is the result of the development of domestication of animals. A certain personality profile developed that was the product of this evolutionary development. Anyways I kinda fit the profile outlined.
Anyways, things to consider when undergoing a fem-out.

Personally, I'd prefer to see this thread continue or the next thread to just be a continuation of this one, no changes in kindness or snark. This is a community we choose to participate in because of the way it is. If it changes for more perceived kindness or whatnot, you're going to lose people, as it won't be as genuine.
