End’o’Year, CY’all next year
With seasonal slim-pickin’s at the J.O.B., we are on free-day three days early. To much no surprise to anyone, we won’t be workin’ tomorrow either,,, Even if we were, the chance of accomplishments would be nil,,,
Today is haul the blocks of wood to shed, begin splitting/stacking
note: I didn’t say FINISH splitting. Theres a mess of wood in that pile. I’ll put a serious dent in it, but finish is not on the agenda. IMO, this is at least a two day job. (and its gonna rain off-n-on all day,,, so there is that,,,)
wood heats you twice
BS!!! its heats you many times. Ya get warmed up cutting that shit up, again moving it, and once again splitting it and stacking it,,, then you get warmed up again moving it to location to burn where it warms you up yet again in its finale of blaze. Lots of energy in and around wood burning.
There’s a reason people pay others for fuel,,, Pay the cash and have the time AND Fuel, or spend the time and energy and have the fuel. Cash is just an agreed upon storage unit of energy spent.
I recall the book I read that totally shifted how I look at money. No it wasn’t Robert Kyosaki’s book either.

Not that I agreed with everything Matt had to say, but there were far more points that hit me sideways and made the world look a little less F!ed up. I highly encourage the pessimistic to read this book. It won’t change your pessimistic side, but it will show you that things are actually better now, even if we don’t FEEL it.(that goes back to the book, Everything is fucked by Mark Manson.)
Yeah, linked several times over the last few years,,, They had that sort of effect on my thinking. You’ll get over it.
and I digress,,,,,
Where are we headed starting tomorrow mornin’???
I’ll more than likely be clear headed tomorrow morn, at sumpin sumpin zero-dark thirty, when Elbee wakes me up with snuggs, buzzes, and headstrops, “Food bowls empty Da!” My party time is this weekend with kayaky friends and duct-tape fams. Tomorrow is a kayak day. Close to home, cold, and likely short, but I TRY to start to year on water for that peace of mind it brings.
But where are WE headed starting tomorrow? No prognostication this year. I have had visions in waking, and none give be a warm fuzzy, but I don’t think its going to be all that bad, nor all that good,,, much the ‘same old, same old’ we have grown accustomed to: lying media, greedy politicians, mind-controlled plebes, and worker bees ‘keepin’ on’,,, and no one at the local level will feel anything other than secondary effects like inflation making things rough. It will be a creeping up on you sort of change, that we adapt to and never realize that we did so. Same as always.
And the world continues to turn under feet and the system streaks further and furthar along in space at 300000 miles per hour and we never feel the motions.
Life goes on is what I am trying to say,,,
Y’all take care out there tonight, stay safe, or stay home, but try to enjoy being alive. Nothing else matters.
LIve
Learn
Love
LAUGH
LOAD





“Life goes on is what I am trying to say,,,

A MOST EXCELLENT sentiment, it is! Tomorrow will be something of a mystery – until it ain’t!! Whichever way it goes, all we can really do is Keep On Keepin On.
5 L’s are important. Lord help us if’n we hafta go to that (now) #6 (Lock). We shall see.
Y’all take care,
Mike in FLA.
