for what its worth
I didn’t hit the lottery last night. Made back what I spent, nothing more. It’s not like this is an addiction or anything. I only play Friday the thirteenths: comes out to around $12/year most years. This year there are only two, so $8, and if I hit a little, it pays for itself, and usually does.
Oh well. Its not like I was counting on it,
Sinuses flared up again last night, not the same bug, but probably instigated by such. Had a hateful night, schnoz running like a danged firehose,,, More drainage and today has been even more of that hacking up crap.
Gotzta love winter bugs,,, NOT.
Looking at things weather-wise, I’m contemplating putting Lizzy up for a spell. She has been riding the truck since October, and the occasional get on the water days, but between foul weather and illnesses, Maybe its time to put up the paddle until things settle down some. February is right around the corner and thats our usual bad part of the season: either hip deep in snow or my shop is under water, sometimes both a week apart.
at least now I am not limited to just paddling on water, and that is part of why my thinking too. The wobble definitely helps keep my hips loose enough for when I do make it to water, I am not climbing the mountain of confidence again.
Now, I know that goes against what I said about ‘getting out as often as possible, every weekend preferred’, but reality is kicking in a bit too. Weather sucks, my health is not that of a twenty sumpin anymore: it takes longer to recover and is easier to get ill. still juggling the idea, Its easier to be spontaneous if a boat is already. on the truck, and spontaneous is what usually gets me on water more versus planning adventures.
juggle juggle juggle,
or is that called procrastination?
LOL.
Looking about the world, seeing what isn’t being talked about in the USENEmedia sites, but is being talked about in other places, things are not looking good for the Scwabbies and WEF or any of the other EElllEEETtteee twits of the world. People are getting really sick of the mind games. I dunno know why the backlash is so reserved here though. There have been MAJOR riots in most every Euro country (and several others, like Madagascar) over the last two years, but here, we had an “insurrection that wasn’t” and very little else.
I don’t know if its a fact that we are just not getting off the couches, or that its just NOT being talked about? Kind of like no one ever talks about how the ‘Ronas did in Panama. Or in darkest Africa. total silence on those areas because the facts would have shed light on the BIG LIE they were pushing.
Days where I feel like a mushroom: kept in the dark and fed a lot of shit.
but one thing I can say, the eeleetes that are in position currently, are sweating bullets and pilfering the system as fast as they can because they are quite aware of something much bigger coming down the way. How else do you explain some of the Graft of the last ‘omnibus bull’: like that 2.5M for each and every congress-critter in the name of ‘personal security’,,,, They know we know where they live and have faces to go along with it, even if we don’t know the real string pullers behind all of this Wizard behind the Curtain crap that is being done to this country. They know any backlash is going to head their way FIRST,,,,
and Gallows are cheap to build, even in todays economy.
Apologies. My ‘hope’ for the future of this country is sort of on the skids currently. Not the people, nor the continent, but the country/government idea. yeah, the one that we speak of, but not really have any experience of; the ‘Freedom and justice for all’ sort of thing. I am not even sure I have ever seen a JUSTICE system, though I can say I see a JUST-US system in action every damned week. And in my personal experience, with Dood that took a potshot at me and missed (bad mistake, always), I didn’t see “justice”, I saw a system designed to maximize a prosecutor’s conviction numbers. Yes, it worked out that dood is being punished for sheer stupidity on his part, but there was no speedy trial, no trial at all for that matter, it took 18 months with monthly pre-trial meetings between judge and lawyers to reach a state where he was offered a plea deal, and now he is ‘owned’ by the state for a period of 10 years on parole.
and this is pretty much the norm in our judicial system now. The Prisons are privately ran, the parole boards are state controlled but private institutions, and it all has indicators of being a big scam to milk tax dollars,,,
And thats just local. Start looking at the bigger picture, like the poor SODs still incarcerated for Jan6,,,, No trials, no actual charges in most cases, all under ‘color’ of law thanks to GHWB and his “Patriot act” (version 39.5 now?) just by labeling them ‘terrorists’. I don’t think their incarceration is as “claimed”, but as a warning to all the rest of us, “shut the fuck up or we will do the same to you”, and because we don’t band up and do whats right, we cower in fear alone,,,
I think our window of opportunity to turn this mess around was back in November of 2020, and we missed it. Now, I think we have to ride this thing all the way down to the bottom of the canyon as we have left the tracks and gravity is now in control.
Now, as for all the stuff I see flying around Utoobs about they are banning this gun, or this feature or this gas stove, or,,,
FUGGEM. I ain’t giving up shit and will ignore any and all edicts of decree by a fraudulent administration and its minions.
There is only one way they win.
If we let them.
and its not like they win even then: reality is a stone cold bitch and will always have the last word.




Absolutely understand the ‘FUGGEM’ altitude! Lotsa folk seem to have a similar altitude. Don’t really know what TPTB expect with all the bullshit they’re causing. IMHO, they’re doing it with intent – they seem to be pushing things in a kinetic direction. Doesn’t appear to be another explanation. At least I don’t see it if there is. They TRULY don’t understand their position. Or, they’re so full of their own bullshit, they actually believe themselves.
Ditto on the ‘reality’ part. Reality is indeed a stone cold bitch. I’m not especially looking forward to what comes next, but it’s-a coming whether we want it to or not. REALLY hope I’m wrong here. Either way it goes, I’ll likely not see the outcome. Ain’t too old, and dam sure still ornery enuff, but dam sure got way too many parts that ain’t up to spec any longer! The old saying is appropriate here – do the best ya can with what ya got until ya have better!!
Best wishes for yer total recovery real😎 Dam, I hate a respiratory problem – any time of year!!👿 Also, luck with the race!
Y’all take care,
Mike.
