It’s called life,,,

April 22, 2023 by diogenesoftherifle, posted in Just talkin', palm to face moment, random misfires

Feeling much better today. Whatch'all didn't know was that I put new wheelbearings on Buffalo yesterday. Yes, while fighting of internal buggies n such, but before I tipped the bottle,,, and that wasn't the danged problem. Pretty much knew it when I jacked up the front end and didn't get ANY wobble or wiggle out … Continue reading It’s called life,,,

I may not be able to hear all that much, and it comes and goes according to location/proximity to crowds/noize, but I CAN FLIPPIN' SEE. Sarah posted up two very illuminating posts that help one to get back on the track of 'this too shall pass'. While these posts are very much drumming the "we … Continue reading Oh, to be able to see,,,

Domestics Sunday, funday,

April 16, 2023 by diogenesoftherifle, posted in Just talkin'

And kinda depressing at the same time. First off, its grey nasty scattered APRIL SHOWERS sort of weather, not that I am complaining about the weather or anything,,, It's flipping SPRING and my fav-O-RITE season of all. NO, the depression kicked in while assisting Da with his lawnmower. I realized that I … Continue reading Domestics Sunday, funday,

diktats from furriefuzzyfluffheads

it's amazing to me somedays, just how much three little furrie murder machines dictate how I am allowed to dwell in my own residence. Mamakat has taken serious liking to my office chair as "HER BED",,, Zooms likes to be close and uses the ottoman I have for propping up the hind feet, when … Continue reading diktats from furriefuzzyfluffheads

WINGS OF CHANGE

What happens when a wounded veteran, a computer genius, and a handful of fiercely independent misfits decide that the best way to change the world is to stop waiting for someone else to do it?

G has spent years flying from a wheelchair, learning to make the sky obey him even when his body won’t. T is a computer wizard with a mysterious past, an enormous extended family, and a talent for turning impossible ideas into working machines.

Together, they build things that shouldn’t exist.

Aircraft that push the limits of what remote flight can do. Technology born in garages and workshops instead of corporate boardrooms. And a community of people who have decided that family isn’t necessarily something you’re born into.

But building extraordinary machines attracts attention.

Soon G, T, and their growing family find themselves caught between government agencies, competing agendas, and people who would very much like to know exactly what they’re capable of. What began as tinkering and experimentation is becoming something far more consequential.

Because when you build something powerful enough to change the rules, eventually somebody comes looking for the keys.
