Quiet times

September 12, 2018 by diogenesoftherifle, posted in Uncategorized

Not much to say currently, at least nothing much, and guaranteed to bore a body to tears, so, no posts right now. Watching the media drive hysteria over the huricane blowing in. Betcha it won't be half as bad as they make out. Seems like Chicken Little is the name of the game now; but … Continue reading Quiet times

The annual communist day post

Little different subject matter this year; apologies if it seems I'm beating the horse to death. No work today; boss told us all to take it off on Friday as he will be at some Harley shindig or 'nother. Typical Labor Day weather, hot in early AM, hotter by noon, putrid by three, and thunder … Continue reading The annual communist day post

On my comments on finish for the paddle, use whatever the hell you like best. Used that paddle yesterday after changing the finish to oils, and guess what. It still makes like a monsoon and gets you wet as hell. If it weren't for the fact that I expect to get wet, it would be … Continue reading Short update

Something a tad different this week. Did an experiment in paddles. There are several different styles of paddles for yaks, euro, wing, etc, but the 'original' paddle is dubbed Greenland paddle. Lots of info on the nets about 'em, several different offerings for plans, and the usual chevy/ford, AR/AK, 1911/Glock arguments, etc, etc. I became … Continue reading Anudder day at the lake.

Break it down

I'm not a complicated person, even if I give the impression otherwise. I've been labeled many things some flattering, many, not so much, and mostly due to the breadth of knowledge I have attained. Knowledge hard won at expense of personal time and in many instances, skin, sweat and more than a few drops of … Continue reading Break it down

Good weekend

It was a foul weather day Saturday, but around 3ish, a window of clear sky opened up; I didn't hesitate. I already had the yak loaded on the truck, so headed straight to the lake. The river is still up and muddy so it was out. Once on the water, I headed straight 'upstream' to … Continue reading Good weekend

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.
