Ramblin’ man

thats how I feel like things are right now

At least when it comes to how I am getting through the days,,, No real direction defined, just a general movement towards something a wee-bit more in my control.

Control,,, T’ain’t no such thing, say the monks,,, Illusions all. LOL Yeah,,, whutchoosaid,,, (and I do understand both sides of that,,, this isn’t really control, more an “Options to be had” Trucks and tools are bad investments as they maintain the liability aspect in ownership. BUT, without them, the options narrow tightly.)

Little fill in here since I am up at 5 and nothin’ to be done till daylight comes on. I am still following my ‘new routine’ diet,,, if you want to call it that. Its not a diet in the traditional sense, but real actual method/dietary means. I am holding right at 180#, still shedding from the middle and other ‘reserve’ areas (love handles, manboobs) Lookin’ a little saggy and loose in places, as the skin doesn’t recover like it usedta in the past. I’m pushin’ the 60 mark, so such is expected I guess. I started seeing signs that I am putting some of the leaner muscle back on. Things feeling real tight under the loose sheath of skin. Seeing definition in areas that have always been on the lean side, like my calves and forearms.

SO, yah, I may ‘focus’ intently in my posts about one subject matter, but the older matters are still there. Yes, the kayaks are still here, just sitting this season out currently (I fully intend to do a newyears/solstice float, which I skipped last year for some reason) and they ain’t goin’ anywhere. Da asked if I was gonna put them up for sale when I took Lyssa off Buffalo. LOL, NO! I’m just too wrapped up in the current thing, and she doesn’t need to be exposed to highway winds if she isn’t to be used.

I even have a little winter camping session scheduled with Brudda B and Brudda J in a few weeks. Yuppers, the usual crew grew one this year. Take a couple days to listen to the REAL world and find some ground and center time.

gonna start getting light out here soon. My day is guaranteed grimey, and maybe a little damp. Not raining, but has been and I will be on the ground doing the brakes. Especially that brake line on the frame. At least BlooTwuck has good ground clearance: might be tight, but wont’ be too bad.

Silly update: Parts and the illogical being of the USPS logistics system. I just checked on the status of my brake cable, and my jaw dropped. It started out in NewYack, went to Atlanta (major transportation hub) then onward too Knoxville TN,,, Ok,, seems sensible.

This morning, it updated again and is now in MADISON WISCONSIN,,, WTF!!!! It certainly is NOT going to make the promised date of November 20th, nor the updated promise of the November 22nd(today) And here I am getting ready to dive into these parts to get Twuck up and running. I HATE doing shit twice HATEZ IT I SAY,,,, But in this case, I am going to bite the bullet Do the one side half assed as I want this truck rolling and stopping on her own. I can go back in and pull the one side back apart to do the cable later and it wont’ take that long; it just eats at me that ONE PART can totally fubar a well executed plan, and for a serious gap in logistics logic (does the USPS even know that word?)

OK, Rant off,,,, I’m just gonna do what I gotta and ‘grin and bear it’. Rolling/stopping is far better than where she was before Hallowseve.(IE sitting/rusting)
