Friday, polar vortex, and fiberglass

Supposed to be warm out today with like 100% chance of a rainy nooner,,,

THEN, the bottom drops out and we head into this polar vortex dialed up to eleven for what the Weather Liars are saying will be for two weeks. I know I saw temps down in single digits overnight, prophesized for at least two nights.

Old Man Winter is gonna make a showing,,,

Right on time, mid to late January, into February, followed by all the melt off rain and froze grounds,,

Flooding, and Dio gets a week off work because his shop is 5′ underwater,,,,

Not happened yet, but that the river has been fingering the edges of her bed the last few days; its coming,,,,

Always happens in February,,, ALWAYS. (if it happens at all that is. I’m betting that way this year for certain.)

Todays slotted temps in mid 50’s but wet and I will be at work.

Satyrdays temps will make icecubes on the porch,,, If I see snow, I’m goin’ kayaking. If I don’t, I’m working on kayaks.

Specifically, I will start cutting on Lizzy and make her a keyhole cockpit. Cutting is where it will be at this weekend since it will be WAY too cold for any resin/epoxy work. (besides, lots of prep work to do before I get to that point, cutting and shaping, setting up a foam board mold, making sure everything will hold together while curing, etc etc etc.) I went ahead and listed the cover and skirt and Bilge pump on marketplace (thanks B for helping spread that around there.) Dunno that they will sell: seems like nothing much ‘frivolous’ is moving right now. Lots of tools and vehicles flat dissappearing, but toys are sitting flat,,, Signs of the times? I think so. Better to spend money on useful over enjoyment, or collectables.

Interesting note yesterday. Once I had made peace with cutting a burnout out of ‘my loop’, things started easing up. One project that I had been struggling with went smooth as silk and was completed before noon. Customer was quite satisfied and even open to suggestions on improving it. Dunno if they will take my advice (gonna cost em some) but they definitely showed interest. Hell, the lack of improvement I discussed is why I was there fixing it. Simple fill in,,, They lacked one sensor on an automatic gate and that gate caught the edge of a trailer and got bent to shit. I fixed the gate, and got everything moving again but it cost them quite a bit more than that one sensor will. Call it insurance that I don’t have to pull a repeat performance later down the road.)

Looking around the webs at the Fraud and other shenanigans. Lots of kabuki theater going on IMO. Lots of Bellowing going on about HunterBrandon and his thumbing his nose at Congress, His pappy the puppet and impeachment, Kamalalaladingdong being hidden from the lights (has anyone heard a peep of nonsense from that bird in since Christmas?) Lots of manuvers being made and its all distraction, ALL DISTRACTION,,,

Something bubbling under the surface and I keep watching markets and external sites for what the world is getting ready to do. Our Government is still ambulant, but is NOT COGNIZANT any longer.

Hell, not even legitimate so far as the world and a goodly portion of the populace is concerned. More and more I see people sayin’ “NOPE” when it comes to anything Federal coming down, and I can see that quickly become more State/local as trickle down gains speed. The Governors need to start cutting that umbilical if they want to hold position and not be dragged into the quagmire of the future. Better to be an independent State than some satellite on the dole of worhtless,,,, I’d start by reaching to certain external Countries that have their shit wired tight and show them some semblance of brains at the helm instead of a strung puppet to a dying Government.

America is going no where, that I can say, and that gives me hope. It’s the Government that is dying, and for good reasons,,, If you hold allegience to this government, you deserve to get it, right along with them, IMO. BUT, the country, the ideals that built this country, THOSE are rock solid foundations that have been buried under mountains of shit and paperwork and corruption. THOSE need to be cleared off, maybe patched with some small parts to ‘fix’ the errors that allowed this mess to happen, but for the most part, stand alone. They just need brought back online.

As for the Immavasion,,, Not too worried about that either as I don’t live anywhere that any Hamas or CCP cludge would ever want to consider invading,,, Appalachiastan,,, and there is a whole lot of out-migration from this area that took similar mindset with them. Saw it in Texas when I was there. See it in SC when I go visit my Sis. There are literal ‘barrels behind every blade of grass’ spread all over this country and there are people that don’t wanna play with ‘headchopper Assad’.

No, that immivasion, if it ever goes kinetic, is gonna get a smack down like

yeah,,,

might be we need that one rock chip breaking loose to avalanche into putting the spine back in the sane side of America.

Till then,
