winter has hit, Dio is in gear

and the Brainium is working like an over-clocked AMD processor right now,,,,

Looking at that ‘hole’ in the Kapp (gonna revert to that short form of her model type as a name for now, mostly for clarity to you and focus for me,,,)

Gotta do it right, NO MATTER WHAT. No shortcuts and half assin’ it.

And looking at the weather liars pages, looks like the high for the next two weeks will freeze water in its tracks.

Not good for resin/epoxy work,,,, Fine for clamping on foam boards to shape into the temporary mold I intend. (gonna do this ‘backwards’, lay the glass first, gelcoat last,,,)

is what it is,,, don’t like the weather, stick around a bit; it’ll change

NOT

FAST

ENOUGH

in my opinion.

LOL…. As if it will hold me back,,, If need be, I figure out a way to enclose the porch temporarily,,, or something. No takin’ it to Da’s,,, he can’t stand the smell of resins and epoxies. The only reason he allowed me to use his garage for coating Serena was I proved to him that the two part Polyurethane I used was completely odorless.

Can’t say that with these chems,,,,

Besides, if the weather was warmer, I’d rather be OUT playin’. (but, I am playing, aren’t I? just a different form of play,,,)

What can I say,,, Doesn’t matter what time of year I do this, its gonna be off a little bit: too hot, too cold, too damp, too dry, something. I really need an enclosed, climate controlled space to be playing with these things the way I do. At least with Skin on Frames, they aren’t nearly as picky about temperature or humidity (though,,,, Frames do shrink over time if left ‘high and dry’,,, that makes the skin saggy and slows them down on water until the frame swells back up.)

yeah, enclosed climate controlled space. Shit in one hand, wish in the other,,,,

That’s what makes me sorta unique in this world. I don’t ‘need‘ all the bells and whistles to ‘get-r-dun’,,, As one of my vicarious mentors once wrote “I figure out how to do a $50 job for fifty cents, and the rest of the time scraping up that fifty cents.”

Honestly, the most creative points in my life were when i was borderline flat broke, eyeball deep in debt and struggling between jobs. Needing to accomplish things when you are not able to ‘Zon purchase at whim,,,, Ya get real creative when things are that close to the bone. (in more ways than one)

And never resort to theft or chicanery to do so. Thats the BIG difference between me and many in my locale,,, I’ll ‘make do’ with what I have, make or can re-purpose, where many around me will start looking at ways to ‘get what they are owed’, whatever the fuck that means and however they come to that justification,,,, World doesn’t owe ME shit,,,, if anything, I OWE THE WORLD for all of its resources and the fact that I am even upright and breathing. Doesn’t mean I owe ‘people’ perse, ( I do, not just financially, but in ‘Paying it forward’ to the human race,,,) And yet so many are so self-centered (they don’t see it that way of course) and ‘scarcity minded’ that they will never EVER find that break in the rut they have self created. Nope, they don’t see that the rut is of their making: they see it as the fault of birth, skincolor, or some other obscure whim of fate,,, I pity them, but that means nothing and is a chink that could be exploited by some of the smarter ones,,,

And sadly, I have one living right next door to me. Sad bastard was out yesterday cutting ‘dry wood’ from felled trees (felled in late spring, but not cut or split or stacked) because he was out of wood for his woodburner, AND!!!! has been cut off by everyone in the ‘hood, because he is a leech “that is owed something”.

God helps those that help themselves. Something that didn’t seem to stick in that 66YO boys teaching,,,, So now he is freezing, trying to get enough wood together to get through the night and no one is offering any help: he’s already burned those bridges by manipulation and outright theft in a case or two.

And his anger at the rest of us “have’s” grows because he can’t see his own failures,,,,

Him? I don’t pity in the least. He’s been a POS since I was kid or longer, and his reputation precedes him.

And there are far more such as him than I wanna think about.

AH, but Dio, be positive,,,,

Oh, I am, especially when I see things like this on the feeds,,,, Young girl, 22YO, born and bred Far Lefty, and she had an epiphany not that long ago and is now Center/Right and ‘spreading the word!!!!

That’s just one sample of her work.

She isn’t the only one either. Seeing more and more of the Millenial Gen stepping back and going “Wait just a stinkin’ moment, this is wrong!!!!”

And I think its gonna ‘go viral’ as we get closer and closer to November and the Stoopid goes full tilt boogie,,,,

I can only hope those young’uns will start to look for those of us GenX types that have been ‘Red Pilled’ for a long time and not lump us in the same catagory as the Stoopid, or The Fraud,,,, We may not see the world through the same filters (age does that to you), but we DO see the Stoopid and the Fraud, and the PharmaCon,

Gonna be hard slog through History, but it always is,,,, Maybe we have had it too good for too long and now need that crucible to melt out the dross and create a new alloy, one thats tougher and yet more resilient over time.

Character over ALL, thats what I look for. The Characters that are in my immediate vicinity need not apply IMO. You can be rock stoopid, but if your character is solid, and not self absorbed, You’ll probably get my up-thumb

(note, some will read this and say I live my life by my whims, and fancies. Playing all the time: that I am being a hypocrit by saying the above. Yes, and resoundingly NO. I do try to teach those I can, some of the things I know. MOST, don’t want to learn. I write this blog, hoping that someone will see something of value in it, and don’t ask for much, if anything in most cases,,, Yes, there is a tip jar, and yes, I have had two instances where I was in dire straits and asked for financial help. Going on 16 years now and the funds I have recieved are less than what I bring in for two months at my Day J.O.B.. This isn’t a bleg either,,, just pointing out, that no, I am not doing this as some self centerd bastard looking for glory,,, Hell, If this blog started seeing daily hits in the 10s of thousands,,, I’d probably panic and fold, total introvert breakdown,,, Just like when I tried to be on stage as a bassplayer,,, NOPE!, but put me on a console behind the scenes and I was golden,,,)(and why I won’t ever do a vlog like those on Utoob,, Camera shy in more than one sense,,,, Audio, I can do, but not Vids . If you knew how much mental angst I have just posting a pic of myself here, you’d ‘get it’,,,, don’t like cameras, don’t like the spotlights,,, Just the way I am,,,)
