No movement, yet,,,

Haven’t picked up Twuck yet. (HT to Mikee for that nickname so far. Thinking some variation of twuck and SAK (Swiss army knife) for a nickname.). Not stressing about things, in anyway, Why should I stress? This is just a transaction away from reality; then the fun begins. Paperwork and taxes, twisting wrenches and bustin’ knucks. Mo’ monies of course,,, parts aren’t free y’know.

And, of course, Buffalo is feeling a tad jealous right now. Started off the day just fine, and by the time I hit the bottom of the hill, “Check gauges” light came on,,, Showed low fuel light and the gauge was on E. BUT, I filled up just 60 miles ago, so I know thats a lie. Might be a pack-rat issue. Not usually a problem since Buff doesn’t sit much, but it is getting cold out and packrats like trucks that are usually warmer than ambient when they get used often (Buff does, a lot.). I need to get out there and at least get a visual on the wires leading to the tank. Probably just something shorted to ground and likely something I did in the past that took awhile to rear its head. I mean, I have recently replaced the fuel pump and what not,,,,

Life at the J.O.B. has been uneventful. Fabbing some really long ass rolling gates for a church in the boonies. 43′ and 49′ long. Gonna be fun transporting them, but thats the bosses problem, not mine. I just build the stuff. Had they been a touch longer, I would build them in two sections and do final assembly on site. Thats always challenging: keeping things square for the final fit-up. Not my first rodeo, but not doing that this time. Would make transport a lot less head-achy, but not my circus: I’m just a monkey in such.

Side note: I think Burnout is a touch jealous as well. I mentioned that I was buying Twuck and he looked a bit miffed. Sorry bro,,, build your reputation (in a good way, not the negative he has been doing of late) and things will fall your way more often. I won’t go into what negatives he has been doing of late, but if he keeps his trend, he is in for heap of trouble. IF he sticks to the grindstone and sucks it up, he can make this situation shine. BUT he has to do the work. No one is gonna do it for him. No one CAN do it for him, if he wants to be in a better place.

Out in the great wide, seems we may be in for a spot of trouble if the Shutdown continues. EBT cards are set to not refill at the start of the month. That will be a signal that things are worse than the liars club has been letting on. I can see the Dems letting that failure happen as it will ‘motivate’ their army,,, Is that the plan? Your guess is as good as mine. I can see it being in the playbook, but like much they have done of late, I can see it biting them in the ass in some way. I hate to say it, but from a local stance, there are a few people around here that could use to miss a meal or two: shouldn’t hurt them, but it may make them madder than a wet cat. Who am I kidding,,, they won’t learn a damned thing. Too many “entitled” in mindset now. Saw that in an X video where the guy was ranting that the “taxpayers” work for HIM,,, Nope, not gonna see that change in one generation: gonna take a whole lot more than a few missed meals to correct that “SNAFU” created by several decades of socialist agenda being pushed in the halls of a swamp.

Overseas, NATO is biting on a bears ass and things ain’t looking good. Trumped is swearing that he has no clue about the shenanigans and that worries me a touch. IS it that his intel is compromised, or that he’s playing “Plausible Deniability”? Time will tell. When the canned sunshine starts popping up in the wee hours over Europe, all bets are off. (and if you think Russia is gonna give Macron and those idjits a heads-up, I have a bridge for sale,,,). Dunno,, I can’t see a negative here, if Puttie-Putin gets his ire up and decides Paris or Brussels needs a rapid renovation. Might let the rest of the world know that “Hey, he ain’t kiddin’round,,,,” Yeah, sucks to be the civvie living’ in those areas, but y’all could have done some kinetic renovations your damned selves prior,,,, Much like we may need to do on these shores yet.

Life goes on. Level headed, stable moods, some form of natural prozac in my diet or something. SO steady in the head as to make me worry a little (but only a little,,,0 Probably a damned good thing, getting all that junk out of my system and finding out, hey, this is what NORMAL is supposed to feel like. Certainly a lot nicer than my usual ‘hot headed’ reactions. Even Mama-kat is looking at me funny, almost as if asking, “You feelin’ okay Da? you usually freak when I claw your leg for attention.” Yup, learning to be that “mellow cat” again. It has to be the clearing of the house of all that junk I was consuming. I certainly am not getting fired up about the “headlines/deadlines, draining my mind”

Addendum: Chances of a podcast this weekend are slim. Lots going on, between Duct-tape fam party, TWUCK, and that mess,,, Not saying it won’t happen, but slim pickins on time may dictate a skip*
