Boring, but productive

September 23, 2022September 23, 2022 by diogenesoftherifle, posted in Uncategorized

So, didn't go kayaking.  My mind just wasn't there for it today.   BUT,  I didn't waste the day away: trimmed back my half acre of weeds (read. mowed grass) did quite a bit of straightening up around the house, and cleaned the litter box seeing how its getting to the cold months: The kids … Continue reading Boring, but productive

Feelin the pinch in a way

September 23, 2022September 23, 2022 by diogenesoftherifle, posted in Uncategorized

Maybe y'all have noted it too.  Seems very few places are carrying the usual inventory they normally do. Went out this morning to pick up stuff I realized i was missing to finish up the polish job on Lizzy.  Three places to get all of the stuff together, where it should have been located at … Continue reading Feelin the pinch in a way

Goodbye Summer

September 22, 2022 by diogenesoftherifle, posted in Uncategorized

Today is 'officially' the end of summer, though by sunrise/sunset, there was an eight minute difference between night and day. Not going to pick nits about it, its getting chilly as all get out, outside. Kittehs are bundled in cubbies about the house, letting me know they are not appreciating the shift in the worlds … Continue reading Goodbye Summer

Fixin’ Lizzy

September 21, 2022September 20, 2022 by diogenesoftherifle, posted in Uncategorized

at least weather is holding for a bit. Hear its supposed to get witches-teat cold this weekend,,,, one of those cracked up areas underneath the seat pan. you can see where I started 'drilling' before getting the camera out. Not a perfect match, I didn't account for the epoxy to darken the pigment. And all … Continue reading Fixin’ Lizzy

Direction is more important than speed

September 20, 2022 by diogenesoftherifle, posted in Uncategorized

Unless you are actually in a race, but I digress. And there are times over the last few years (decade DUDE!, get it right) that I feel like I am just spinning wheels, lots of power to the ground, but no speed, no direction, nothing worth a damn but the smell of burning rubber and … Continue reading Direction is more important than speed

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.

A beginner’s guide to going off grid. how to evaluate if you even want to make the attempt. written by the curmudgeonly author of this blog and his dog
