Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

Surprise Dio!

Went in to the J.O.B. and found I have work, SOLID work for at least two weeks. The sort of solid work where I ‘write my own hours’: Dog kennels, a list of them nearly as long as my arm and BUNDLES of pipe to cut and weld.

Not the greatest thing in the world, but that I can count on AT LEAST the next two payperiods being good, leading up to the end of the year,,,, Not a bad exit of a year in question.

Wanna H/T to Spud,, he sent me a link to a vid that I was listening to while at grindstones today. Embed to follow. This is the sort of stuff that I can dig on,,, the sort of shit that I get involved in when in groups,,, let that conversation roll and see what comes of it sort of stuff.

too many points where I was either nodding in agreement or sayin’ to self ‘that explains A LOT,,,,’ Give it a watch/listen when ya can,,,yes, its quite long but worth the time IMHO.

Gotta tell ya though, Ol’Man winter is hitting me hard today. Came home feeling frozen and still haven’t warmed up all that much despite the warmth of the house. Feeling worn out, cold and ready to drop like the proverbial stone in the well. Crackin’ my jaw I’m yawning so much. I truly do not like this time of year. Maybe thats why they declared the winter solstice as the birth of Christ: hope during times of downchecks. Could be, but single empty nester with scattered fams and friends,,, gets a might lonely and depressing. Seeing it in Da too. (keeping an eye on him, yes I am,,,)

But, I will get through it, working from start to stop will definitely be a help there, despite getting frozen in that shop. New motors on the way and that will be more time to keep busy in.

and thats what I need at this time of year. Get so busy that I fall like a felled tree when I get home. Kittehs may be a bit miffed that the oldman is a lump under the blankies, but thats alright, they know they can curl up on top just fine. Little rugmonkeys are spoiled little tyros anyways,,,,

    Figured I’d leave a comment and see if’n I have difficulties.

    Congrats on the bizzy-ness and better $$.

    I hatez this time of year, as well. Being a Native Flor-i-didian (there’s still a few of us left!), I sure as heck NEVER liked working ‘Up North’ (anything past the FLA/GA state line!). My 1st journeyman job was in up-freakin-state N-fukin-Y, right on the shore on Lake Ontario (literally). 2 years there. TOTALLY sucked!! 👍👍🍻🥂 on takin care of Dad, too!

    Understand about the 4 feetz, too. Mine’s purty dam spoiled, too.😁

    Y’all take care,
    Mike in FLA.
