Broken sticks, irked kittehs, and frozen tootsies

maybe not ‘frozen‘ but they ain’t warm either,,,’

as for the broken stick,,, Thats what greenland paddle users call our paddles by the way,, and from a distance, most people think we ARE using sticks,,, Well, I popped the image of the busted seam earlier, and when I got home did some digging on it, figured it was saveable, and went on the quest for some marine epoxy.

Found even better. Carbon Fiber epoxy, with that IP68 rating once cured. (Permetex product) Wedged open the crack, cleaned out the gook, and mixed up 1/4oz of that stuff and slipped it in. pulled the wedges, clamped the whole thing between two pieces of mini-cell, and set it next to the stove. Now, its just a matter of time to see if said repair is a FIX, or a bandaid. (and I will clean up the excess once it’s cured.)

Irked Kittehs. all of my fuzzies are hanging close to home today, and at first, I thought it was due to Chilly weathers and threatening rains,,, NOPES,,, Neighbors dawgums are wandering about looking for scraps or something. Not sure my Cuz has been getting food for them, and that they are roaming into my area (I fire off bottle rockets over thier heads when they get out of territory,,,) tells me I may need to do an intervention. I can handle a $30 bag of mutt feed,,, but dangit, they ARE NOT mine, and if I do buy a bag, gonna have to see what we can do to ‘reduce’ the population over there. Preferably in a way that doesn’t eliminate dog life, though they have tempted me a time or two.

funny how when I was a kid, I would get upset at this time of year because the weather would be nice while I was in school and totally crap on the weekends. Seems like some things never change, eh? Here it is, chilly windy cloud covered day of drizzles, when yesterday, was sunny, fairly warm, and I was stuck at the J.O.B. thingy; looking out that big ol’ door and grinning like a fool seeing the budding trees.

But I managed to get some paddle time in, and that makes me happy. Would have much prefered a full day of it, but when I break my toys,,, At least now that I am older, I know how to fix my toys,,,, Still that big kid in my head, even if the body says otherwise,,,,

But my psyche is at peace, and I can go look around the nets without getting perturbed by the STOOPID,,, and I need to do some catching up on things. heard Xi-den said some outrageous crap about guns and bans and,,,,

Not that I give a hoot, I ain’t gonna give up shiite for the FRAUD, not without a fight, and not ‘because we say so’,,, Fuggem,,,,with that rusty chainsaw, running WOT, SIDEWAYS,,,, twice just to make sure,,,

Hey, at least I am not feeling bloodthirsty like I was last week,,,, (I freak fellow Emps out when I get like that,,,,and did in one case,,, enough that he quit,,,, sorry dood: it wasn’t personal, just me being me,,,)(fair warning to the young’uns, threatening to ‘beat up’ the old dood is probably gonna put a smile on his face, cuz he might just be in the mood for some ultra-violence and us old doods ain’t gonna fight ya: we’ll just kill you, go home, eat dinner, and sleep the sleep of the righteous.
