time fer t’inks

Fabrication days always get my brainium in motion. Once the initial figures and cuts are made that is. Once I have my parts cut and jigs(if needed) made, the rest is mindless functions, turn up the tunes and zen out,,,

And that lets the mind roam a bit.

Not going to unpack all of my thinks here, but this whole IRAN thing,,, the Israel/US concerted efforts there. Stories of Post’s going “POOF!” while looking at them. And the fact that Moscow pulled the plug on things when Iran requested MOAR!!!

Lots going on, and the story we are being told AIN’T TRUTH,,, That much I am confident to say. Something is going on in the world, and some large part of me is saying “this is much bigger than species or race, or nations,,,”

“Our war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives”

And I get a dribble of a feeling, that Mr Trumped is not playing his role as a certain “greatest Ally Evah!” wants him to. I get the distinct impression that particular bedroom suite is full of turmoil behind the curtains. How and what that turmoil might be, I can only guess at, and since I am not privy to large matters of intel, Hell, not even SMALL matters of intel, I’m formulating these thoughts on the story being told and whats NOT being said.

Put another way, there are only a handful of countries that do not have a Rothschild backed “Central Bank” and all of them have been under the crosshairs lately,,,

And the economic bomb continues to tick away,,,, Dunno’bout y’all, but that worries me far more than Ivan or a Dragon chuckin’ canned sunshine about.

But that’s alright,,, Y’see, even when things go full on teats up in the economy, PEOPLE will find ways of trade and continue on. It won’t be pretty, and there will be a certain amount of die off that takes place: its inevitable due to the level of “Dependent” class this country has developed over the last couple of decades. Far too many people have no clue where food actually comes from, or that plastic wrapped meat USED TO BE part of a living breathing movin’n’mooin’ COW. or yardbird, or,,,, And can’t tell you how many have no clue how to operate a regular STOVE,,, That microwave is IT in their world/kitchen. (actually had a guy at work shocked to learn I use a percolator make coffee. He doesn’t even know how to load a drip maker since all of his ‘coffee’ comes in those teurig cups. That ain’t coffee in my world, though I lack the language to say what I think it is.)

Yeah,,, things will keep on keeping on, even when the dollar bill is worth more to wipe your ass with, than using as an exchange tool. I worry more that they will try to go full bore Electronic Currency and all of the controls that allows them. We are already seeing signs of Klaus Straubs “You will own nothing and be happy” in play, with subscription services, and 2 owner only automobiles that deny and defy DIY service peeps.(KIAs are notorious for this now. 100000 mile warranty and when that warranty wraps up, the ‘hicle is JUNK!)

I’m just glad as hell I still see stuff like this on the regular in my little world. This is an edit of seveeral videos describing his build of a Gingery Lathe (I own this book, and may yet do this build, but the methods, used in this manner or not, are INVALUABLE,,,,)

If you can make that, the list of stuff you can’t make gets really small,,,, Kinda like building kayaks,,, you get the first one done, and before you have even christened it, you are designing the next one. In this case,,, You are in the middle of building the first one, and you are already working on ‘whats next’ and ‘this could have saved my bacon a time or three in the past’,,,,,

This is my current machine tool of choice:

She ain’t the greatest, but she does quick and dirty machine operations just fine. More than enough that I can use this to start building BETTER, when I get, IF I get to that point (Fact being, I can still pick up a used bend or lablond or some other ‘manual shop lathe’ cheaper than building my own. How long that remains that way,, who knows?)(what you DON’T see in that pic is the cases of tooling that I also picked up along the way. You can buy a lathe cheap, the tooling is where you get killed,,, Lathe bits, even the ones you grind to shape, COST,,, and those are the cheap tools,,, A dividing head is gonna cost you half the price of that lathe, EASY, and if you go for top of the line name brand stuff, DOUBLE the cost of the lathe.)(and thats what I liked about Daves book, linked above. He was a broke blue collar dude much like myself, and documented MAKING all of those tools he couldn’t afford. (pre-internet days) including dividing heads and other things, but especially showing the VALUE of ‘turning between centers’, like they did before we got spoiled by three jaw chucks and collets.)

“A lathe is the only tool in the shop that makes itself.” Once the bed and ways are set, the machine literally builds itself, and the more you use its bed for that, the more accurate it will be.

But I’m drifting away from what I came here to write about. Things in the world are shifting. and the stories we are being fed only have the barest of truth in them. So much NOT being said going on, and when you start to listen to the silence, things start making a little more sense. Like the fact that our FedGOV has essentially tossed ROL onto the dustbin (International rules that is,,, they are still of the “rules for thee, not for me” mindset,,,, coff, Epstein files, coff coff)

Listen to the silence,,, think!

And on that note,,, back to the J.O.B. tomorrow,,,, half day, gotta take da to the Ortho Clinic, fingers crossed that this isn’t just another fools errand, that they actually start some sort of treatment protocol,,,

Y’all take care,,,love ya!

LLLLL!
