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 it, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

Sonday notta post post,,,

Gonna give a shout out to I don’t know who, but much thanks for hitting the Zon links I have provided.  Quite a bit more ‘kickback’ this month than I have seen in a year.   Dunno who ya is, but muchos gracias!

Layin’ low this weekend and feelin’ antsy as all get out.  Wanna get out and DO, not sit and putter.   I have been putterin’ too.  Messin’ with yard stuffs, trying to get my old tiller up-n-runnin’ again  (yeah,,, good luck with that,,,) tryin’ like heck to resist the urge to load up the camp gear  (next Freeday, after Buffalo repairs are out of the way.)

and its back to the old routine tomorrow.   Better mindset this time around though.    More readily apt to ‘walk away’ if, IF, any words are tossed my way.   Won’t say any more about it now.   Leave all options open.

as for playin catch-up on the last three-four days,,,    Glad to see some Judges being arrested, but, those aren’t the ones we have been waiting for.     There are lists, promised to be exposed and still NOTHING.     Only been a 100 days, give or take, but somehows, me thinks that Bondi is sitting on her thumbs, at the behest of her “real” employers,,,,  

Been a lot of ‘low hanging’ fruit making moves to get off the boat.   Durbin, McTurtleboy: Peelousy made noises along those lines too.     Get while the getting is good?  or just reading the fine print at the lower part of the wall with all the holes in it?

Also noted that the hype and whirlwind that DOGE was into has toned down quite a bit.     Is that because Musks enterprises were under attack or the fact that CONgress has the purse strings and ain’t playin’ ball?    or is this a matter of AND???     No matter what, DOGE has one mission it CAN do, and that is clear up all the clutter and BS that makes up our government.    For Example: Get the 25 year old mandate to streamline the SSI roles DONE.   The mandate that was supposed to be accompliished in 1999, and is still ‘in progress’.   

Nothing in the private sector gets such lattitude,,,, You get it done, on time, or you pay (in some way,,,,)    And budgets are not liquid guesstimates,,,,    

Yet somehow, when it comes to the Big G,,, we let the games roll. 35 million dollar jets that are ALWAYS over budget and beyond time frames and not mission capable.    New designed multi billion dollar ships that can’t handle frog rippled waves in Charleston Harbor, let alone open ocean,,,,   (unlike the LST’s we had in group off the coast of the Phillipenes.  Little ships were cresting every other wave(28′ waves), diving under the middle one,,,, They weren’t subs!!! but they sure acted like it.)  And the sad part of it being,,, those items are built in private sector, but the paymaster lets it happen because,,,,,   

Anywhooos,,, that subject gets me goin’ and I don’t wanna get-a-goin’ on a Sunday eve before going back into the grind.

Its beer thirty,,,, I have a glass of Guinness draught at the proper temperature near at my right hand.   Suns’ sinkin’ to the horizon and looks like she may put on one hell of a show tonight.   Its time to chill, reflect and relax.

y’all do the same

    • admittedly, there are a couple of points where I was sayin’ under my breath “Your smarter than that Matt!” (climate change stuff mostly) but all in all, a damned fine read and enlightening and most affirmatively POSITIVE. Sure gave me a different outlook on current trends and gives lie to much of the doomer narrative (both sides!)

    Hey man. Appreciate and enjoy your musings. Re: the tiller – check the zon for Hipa small engine carbs. They come with a spark plug, fuel lines(complete two stroke lines,prime bulb, in tank filter), air filter for around 20 frn’s. Highly recommended by Chicanic. I’ve put them in pressure washers, chainsaws, string trimmers, etc with never a fitment or performance problem.
