hectic turned chilled

Like a 100proof whiskey on the rocks,,,, The bite gets tempered.

Things I learned this weekend.  

The NightCat lay flat hammock is pretty good, with a couple of drawbacks.    Must use a good air mattress or some other cushioning as the stretched tarp you lay on can still cause pinch points just as if you were on the ground.   I didn’t uses the air matress I had brought as my thinking was ‘too damned hot’,,,

which leads to the other downer: low air flow.    Little to no breezes and by 0200, I was popping the bug cover and rainfly to get some air flow inside.   Not a bad thing considering the set up, but some vents up high would have helped keep air flowing.    Otherwise, a grand night in the air.

Sqweeky toys will blow a meditation like RIGHT the F! NOW!!!    Found that out when Cozzie came up behind me while I was ‘lookin in’ and squeezed his newest ball: SQWEEK! and Daddy came flying back into himself with a start.   So we did some dawgie style meditation and played fetch until poor mutt was winded and in need of fluids.    He’s now passed out cold on the porch where the breeze is blowing out of the woods.

I’ve a long road to go yet, I know that,

and yes, I am talking about ‘rewiring my brain’ sort of shit.   Things I know, but can not seem to apply consistently into my world.  I do try, and I am getting better about it, but,,,, 

well, we all have our moments right?   My biggest effort is visualizing my holding a gallon mason jar.  Inside it are all the things I value, (not materially mind you, but ethics, friends, love, intelligence, learning etc: The Non-material foundations of my world.) and if I drop it, the jar breaks and all of those things are gone like vapor in the air.    Instead of ‘reacting’, which would have me drop that jar and shatter it, I have to respond in more sedate manner,,, setting the jar down gently, then responding to the input in a reasonable manner; not just lashing out as has been, oftimes, customary.  (like blowing up and quiting my job on the regular. LOL)  

Was a good weekend.. the truck is running pretty proper again, (and the MPGs went down, which tells me that filter was REALLY CLOGGED UP GOOD, and I was pushing a lean burn condition that could have killed my engine.)  Didnt’ have any problems making the run to and from camp, despite the number of hills between here and there.   Totally missed out on the fun and games of Friday night, but enjoyed the company of those there on Satyrday night.   Didn’t get stoopid with drunkeness, but we did have a good time.  Me, quiet at usual, but mostly due to lack of good hearing.  When I could get into a conversation (away from the blowing fans, or with my hearing aids in, also away from the fans.),,,,,   

Still watching the Kabuki theater,,,, Dunno where it all leads and not an insider so can only extrapolate from what is allowed to leak (and that could be strategically leaked or completely fabricated so use caution.)    BUT, seeing posts of people burning their MAGA hats,,, Come on you stoopid twits,,, someone is playing your card,,, Maybe there are reasons un-discovered/unrevealed yet, that things are playing out the way they are.   Much like that super secret bombing run on Iran recently,,, somethings you do, you don’t want your enemy having a warning of….

Or in the words of a street fighter: don’t telegraph your intentions,,, just deck the sumbitch!!!

Trumped may not be a streetfighter, but seeing some of his past negotiations, he plays his cards very very close to the chest and poker faces with the best of ’em.     And he has shown his savvy for social media scrapping,,, He leads the EneMedia around by their nose rings in social media,,,,   Don’t watch what his right hand is doing if you can’t see the left hand,,,

On the same note, a note to President Trump: WE hired you for a reason,,, We WANT TO SEE ARRESTS.  WE Want to see people held accountable for the mess that was the last four years, and the crap they started pulling in 2008 (longer really, but it came to the boiling point with Oblammy)   Don’t go jerking us around, and right now, there are a lot of people on the ground floor that feel like “same shit, different boss”,,,, That road leads to things King George could tell you horror stories about; ‘Ceptin’,,, he’s dead and been that way for a long time.(FYI,,, IT wasn’t King George in his entirity that was the problem back in 1776,  it was Parliment that was playing the fucktard games with the Colonists.   King George just signed off on the shit.)

Anywhooos,,,,, Back to the mines tomorrow,,,  It’s still hotter than a pissed off tomcat on a tin roof out.   And I have not a clue what is going on there right now.   No jobs I know of planned.  Our return to the out-of-town Job is in the future but undisclosed to this peon.  Guess just show up and see.   Same routine as always.    Fingers crossed that hours can be had.  Not that I am hurting,,, all this months bills are paid already, but I do like to make double payments on occasion: really knock those badboys down.
