The clicking in the ball joint of my front control arm had been fixed. So Michelle drove me over to the mechanic and dropped me off so I could get my car. She went about her day running errands in Burbank, while I got in my Mustang and drove over to a quick one-hour dubbing session at a studio in Sherman Oaks (which is only a few miles away). But as I drove there and back, I noticed that clicking had returned. I called Burbank Auto Doctor after my session and told them I was coming back in. Figuring I would have to leave the car again for another lengthy period, I called Michelle to have her meet me at the mechanic\u2019s again. But when I got there they put the car up on the rack to have a look. As my Mustang was 10 feet in the air on the rack I saw the back-up lights come on! The mechanic sitting behind the wheel had put it in reverse! I hoped I wasn\u2019t about to see my car plummet to the ground in reverse! But he only moved it a few inches and then put it back in park. Whew! Several of their expert mechanics gathered around while the mechanic behind the wheel kept turning the steering wheel to replicate the clicking sounds. Pretty soon, they stopped. They had pumped enough lithium grease into the ball joints to make it stop. Voila! I drove the Mustang back to my place and parked it in my auxiliary parking spot. I was still going to drive the Gran Torino around for a few more days. I\u2019ll be losing my auxiliary parking spot as of July 1st because the guy who\u2019s renting it to me is moving out of his house and leasing it to a renter. And the new renter will need both spots. Michelle has been helping me find potential new spots on an app she discovered. I walked back home, did some work around the house, prepared some paperwork for my Wednesday session, and Michelle and I went to Bob\u2019s Big Boy for dinner. Then I went home to prep for the rest of the week.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Wednesday the 2nd \u2013 WONDERFUL WORDS TO HEAR! \u2013<\/span> Just before the Wu Flu crisis broke out, I had done some Voice Over sessions for a video game. But over the past year the follow-up sessions had to be postponed. Now they\u2019re back in business doing pick-up sessions to complete the game. It was a real quick session and it was a lot of fun. One of the producers and the Voice Director were on the line directing remotely. When we ended the session I said my thanks and goodbyes, and the Voice Director said the nicest thing to me. She said she has always enjoyed my work, and that she had in fact become a Voice Director after having seen \u201cInvader Zim\u201d as a kid. WOW! That was the nicest thing to hear! I guess after all these years of doing this wacky work, some of it really HAS left a positive mark! That\u2019s nice to know! I drove the Gran Torino over to CVS to print up some more \u2018hang tags\u2019 for my Christoween merchandise, the printer was printing the tags in a much more accurate way than it did the other day. The colors were printing correctly! Roxy was due for her Adequan shot again (twice a week for the first month, and then once a week after that) so I picked her up and took her to the vet for the injection. Then we drove over and got lunch at Paty\u2019s on the patio. When I got home I started in attaching the hang tags to the merchandise with a needle and monofilament. They were looking good! My attorney asked that I photograph all of the merch with the tags on them to send to the trademark office, so I set up an improvised photo studio in my kitchen and started taking some shots. I can\u2019t wait to get these up on the website for everyone to see! We\u2019ve come up with some pretty nice things! I made some Buffalo Mac (macaroni and cheese with bits of buffalo chicken from Denny\u2019s) and watched two more episodes of \u201cThe Lone Ranger.\u201d Thursday\u2019s a day off, and I\u2019m going to enjoy it!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Thursday the 3rd \u2013 DELICIOUS DAY OFF! \u2013<\/span> It sure was nice to relax all day and not have to run all around doing stuff. A producer called to schedule a session in my home studio for Friday, which meant that I had to reschedule a lunch appointment I had with a friend for an hour later. I shot some more photos of the Christoween merchandise with their new tags, and sent the whole thing to my attorney for approval. I just worked around the house the rest of the day doing random things.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Friday the 4th \u2013 SUMPTUOUS SMOKEHOUSE! \u2013<\/span> Right at high noon I signed on to the session from my home studio and spoke with the clients who happened to be stationed in my hometown of Sioux Falls, South Dakota! They were shocked when I told them I used to live there, and I knew the town well. The session only took about a half hour and they got all that they needed. I cleaned up and headed over to The Smokehouse in Burbank to meet with my friend Troy for lunch. He and I used to work on \u201cThe Tonight Show\u201d together, and when the show ended he started writing for the \u201cEllen\u201d show. He uses me for comedy bits all the time, and two of the bits I recently voiced for him aired this past week! So I owed him a really nice lunch. It was a blast catching up with him. As I headed on into the weekend I drove back home, worked around the house all night, and later enjoyed a huge salad and two more episodes of \u201cThe Lone Ranger!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Saturday the 5th \u2013 A PARKING NO-GO! \u2013<\/span> Early in the afternoon I got on my webcam and did an hour and a half interview with Amber the Fangirl on Zoom. She has a YouTube show where she interviews her favorite Voice Actors. It was a great deal of fun, and Mahna Mahna made a quick appearance as well. I had my first appointment to see a potential parking space for rent within a few miles from my house. But when I got there at the appointed time of 4:30, there wasn\u2019t anybody to meet me. I texted Michelle to ask if I had gotten the appointment time wrong, because the owner of the space wasn\u2019t there. He was about 10 minutes late to meet me, which didn\u2019t impress me very much. Then after talking about the Gran Torino for a while, and letting some of the neighbors take pictures with it, I saw the available space. But the spaces he had been assigned were about 2 feet shorter than the average space, because they had him parking in front of the building\u2019s electrical meters! For an average sized car it didn\u2019t matter much, but for a vintage 1970\u2019s car that\u2019s 19 feet long, it was a no-go. My tail end would have been hanging out into the driveway, and if somebody was pulling in and wasn\u2019t paying attention, they could have easily clocked my rear end! Plus, he couldn\u2019t give me a definitive answer as to if he was even allowed to sublet his parking space per his rental agreement. So, it wasn\u2019t going to work. I went home to pick up Roxy to get her the injection of Adequan at the vet\u2019s office. I got back home to feed the pets and relax. I noticed that the Elmer\u2019s glue I had put on the hang tags to attach the front of the tags to the back of the tags hadn\u2019t really held. In fact, I could just put my finger in between the back and the facing of the tags and just easily pull them apart. Apparently Elmer\u2019s doesn\u2019t like the surface of the back of photo paper. So I sat down and cut out the rest of the tags from the photo paper, and glued them all together with Barge glue. But after having completed all of the tags, I noticed that the glue was discoloring some of the tags. What to do?! It was very aggravating trying to find a glue that would work. I could try spray glue next, but that\u2019s very unpredictable with small items. Then I did a stupid thing. I stacked the cards together to put them away, but the Barge glue was making them sticky. Some of the hang tags got stuck together and they got completely ruined. Out of the 50 or so tags I had, only 25 made it. I was so pissed at myself! Stupid, rookie error. Later, I noticed that the discoloration on the tags subsided as the glue dried completely. So I\u2019ll be able to use Barge glue for hang tags in the future, but I\u2019ll have to use it more sparingly. Since it was the first Saturday of the month, I was going to make a Chef Boyardee pizza and enjoy \u201cLaurel and Hardy Theater\u201d before bed, instead of my usual viewing of episodes of \u201cThe Saint.\u201d I watched some really great two-reel shorts \u2013 \u201cThey Go Boom,\u201d \u201cThe Hoosegow,\u201d \u201cNight Owls,\u201d and the hilarious \u201cBlotto.\u201d In the latter, Stan and Ollie think they\u2019re drinking a bottle of booze (during prohibition times) but they\u2019re actually drinking a non-potent concoction thrown together by Stan\u2019s wife who had been secretly alerted to their scheming ways. When Stan and Ollie (who think they\u2019re drunk and are laughing hysterically) realize that they\u2019ve only been drinking harmless cold tea, and not booze (and thus realize they\u2019re not actually drunk) the rapid come-to-sobriety moment is hilarious! Since we\u2019re in the midst of June Gloom here in L.A., I got to watch a gorgeous \u2018blue morning\u2019 dawn over the city. It\u2019s when the sun rises behind a thick layer of overcast, and casts a gorgeous blue hue over the city. Lovely!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Sunday the 6th \u2013 LOONY FOR LOUIE! \u2013<\/span> Roxy enjoyed the warm afternoon and laid in the courtyard enjoying the sun for about half an hour. I visited with a few neighbors and relaxed too. Then I went inside to do some work. When I was in Palm Springs recently listening to KWXY-AM, I heard them play a few choice hits by Louis Prima. Now I\u2019ve always known him best from my favorite Disney movie \u201cJungle Book\u201d as the voice of King Louie, the king of the swingers. But hearing some of his old hits on the radio was just like hearing King Louie sing \u201cI Wanna Be Like You\u201d in the Disney film. When I returned to L.A. I started delving into Louis Prima\u2019s career and I was loving what I was finding. Some of the videos I found of his TV and film appearances made me smile from ear to ear, as Louis and his band (including his wife Keely Smith on vocals and his pal Sam Butera on sax) were quite entertaining! Louis was quite the showman! I\u2019ve been humming his songs all week! Later, I decided to start making the \u201c10% Rowlf\u201d replica Muppet that I\u2019ve been pondering for a while. I made a Rowlf replica a few years back, and it was the first puppet I had made in a long time. While he looked pretty sweet, his head is about 10% bigger than he needed to be. So I was always intent on scaling down the pattern a bit and doing another head. The body is perfect, but I need a much smaller head. But other projects always seemed to get in the way. I have all the foam and fabric I need to do it, it was just a matter of getting around to it. So as I sat at my kitchen table working away, listening to my iPod, I fabricated his new, 10% smaller mouth plate. This redux also allowed me to fix a few things I did wrong the first time with the mouth plate. A few years ago, when I did my original Rowlf, I attached the top and bottom mouth plate together too tightly. So once I covered the mouth with the black fabric, it made the mouth very snug and tough to operate. But this time I loosened up the \u201cjoin\u201d a little bit, which should accommodate the extra space needed when the fabric goes on to the mouth. I\u2019ll let the glue totally dry for a bit, and then I\u2019ll start fabricating the foam pieces for the understructure of his head.
