Been a hella two weeks of ol' man Winter here. Found that the transfer case in Lazarus is defunct, and due to that have not been able to drive to my house since all the snow piled on us. Been using my dad's 4 wheeler to get up and down the hill here to get … Continue reading Just lurkin’ n wonderin’

Hibernation

is for the damned bears. It sucks when your thoughts grow further than "Berries, roots, get laid, Sleepzzzzz" (not to say that they don't include those, I am male after all and while not hormone laden and in rut, T'ain't ded yet either.) Long story short, Ol' man winter is really kickin' ass around these … Continue reading Hibernation

Yup, weatherman was right for once

Ol' man winter came rip-roarin' back into town over the weekend and jeez, was he pissed off. All that work on the water tank put on hold for sub freezing temps and I lost all 350 gallons out of that tank thanks to not listening to the weatherman. The 2" ball valve froze and characteristic … Continue reading Yup, weatherman was right for once

Islam and you

February 10, 2015February 10, 2015 by diogenesoftherifle, posted in Uncategorized

Over the weekend, I ran across a discussion on TED that rather "got my Goat". I followed along as long as I could, but to be honest, the level of willful ignorance of facts and reality left me gasping for air. Yeah, there are similarities along the way, but they tend to stop after about … Continue reading Islam and you

Crazy Years

Some of my readers have read Heinlein at least a bit. Those that haven't, well the title is from some of his works. I believe it was in Stranger that each chapter began with some "tabloid headlines of the day". Glancing over the Drudge Report I feel like I am about to start in on … Continue reading Crazy Years

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.
