Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said it, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

Momentary peace,,,

the view from my porch this eve,,,  Sitting out watching the sky turn from gold to lavenders and pinks, then fade out to a dusky blue-black sky.  Half moon riding in to illuminate the grounds for kittums to play before it gets ‘too cold’ for toe-beans, when they will come in and pile up on Daddy in bed.

Voo even hanging out watching the transition from day to night, all poetic like, just watching that sky.   I dunno if he can see colors or not (don’t think so) but he was watching anyways.  

Long day today, feel like I spent hours on a stairmaster,,,, up down ladders installing bracing on that ginormous gate at the Jail.   Thing has been just a bit too wiggly with evening winds, and was giving us fits (customer calls says the gate is acting up, but only in the evening and never when I am on site to diag it.)  Fingers crossed because the next step is to pull it out, cut it up for scrap and write the whole thing off as a loss.  Let the Customer find a different installer to handle that nightmare request.    At least that was the description I was given this AM in meeting with Bosses,,,,  

And was told we have turned down a couple of other calls requesting “BIG GATES”,,,   I think the bosses have learned a lesson or two from these beasts,,, lord knows I sure have,,, mostly that “I don’wanna do another” but also how to get them to work, (for the most part, wind and weather aside,,,)

skimming the feeds tonight,,, Seems I am not the only one coming to the synopsis that things are going krazier than expected is due to FearFactors and Fails,,,,    Gonna leave it at that tonight, and leave my feeds at skim mode for a day or two.  Don’t wanna dive in too deep and get immersed in the muck again,,, not this soon.  Feeling some peace tonight and M A Y B E tonight, I can get some decent rest,,,, Tossed and turned all night last night and dragged ass through the day for it.

one last parting shot.

HT to Brudda B for giving me a laugh this AM.

Kneejerk, addendum

What I mentioned in my last post yesterday,,,,

this isn’t over yet,,,, Shits only going to escalate as we get closer and closer to Implosion.   November? maybe, maybe sooner, may be delayed into January25.  

I keep thinking the krazee meters are pegged, but something tells me, “WE AIN’T SEEN NUTHIN YET”,,,,

rig for storm, turn into the storm and prepare to ride it out.   No ONE of us is prepared for what comes,,, all we can do is try to hold it together for a little bit longer,,,,,

Trying to keep my “Will be worse than we desire, but better than our worst imaginings.” in the forefront,,,  I always underestimate the power of stoopid,,,, 

And later, we will laugh, and laugh, and laugh,,,,  Until the narco=drip kicks in and we sleep,,,,   

may be more up later, but right now, getting my day rolling into something productive and paying,,,,   Need that lucre,,, (even if its mostly worthless anymore,,,,)

Watch out for that kneejerk reaction

Confessional here,,,, I was “THIS CLOSE” to losing my shit this afternoon.   Not the J.O.B. thing, that went smooth as ice today (and was kold, but not like yesterday)

No, what got me was the feeds running across Da’s screen when I stopped in there.   

The SCOTUS hearings on 1A that are ongoing,,, this is IMPORTANT SHIT, and what I see going on seemingly is edging torwards MORE Orwellian Instrusions.    Granted, too soon to say with conviction, but seeing how some of the lawyers are half-assededly handling the situation and the whole Katanji Brown PROG-BEAST EXTRAORDINAIRE, and her Highly Communist views on how to define things,,,,

Then you drop into NewYUHKShitty, and the AG there refusing to consider alternatives,,,, The precedent she is setting is going to crater NY, NY business, and TRADE IN GENERAL since that area is such a power house behind what drives the economy,,,,

Seriously, I had the bottle in hand, was ready to pour a four finger glass and start diving in face first,,,

And then I thought about it a bit more,,,

fact is, all of this is DOUBLING DOWN,,, they are running scared,,, the reactions to the Fani Farce in GA has them more than a little concerned about how things are ‘progressing’,,,,  The reactions to the Case against Trumped in NY didn’t rally the troops as they expected,,,, They run the(ir) polls and show these amazing, and immediately suspect numbers (because they are flat made up in some board room) but know that 65% of the country ain’t buying it anymore.  

This point in time, for them, is just like when Kyle Rittenhouse was exonerated and most of the country celebrated,,,, that goosed the shit out of them,,,,  No one was paying the celebrants to party,,,  Unlike the panti-fags and Burnlootmurderers, that were bussed in to riot, on a payroll,,,, (and has been proven!!!)

This ain’t grass-roots uprising.  THIS IS AMERICANS ARE GETTING PISSED OFF.  THIS IS THE ROOTS OF THE TREE OF LIBERTY THIRSTING FOR A DRINK.

Another analogy?   How about a nuke reactor (american taxpayers) that is running under load and the load continues to increase (running the printing presses  is the load) and the operators keep messing with the cooling rods and coolant flows to see what they can get away with before the whole thing goes into melt down.   And somehow, the operations manual looks to be written in ancient Mesopotamian, so no one has a frillin clue how to shut down without blowing sky high.

Even my dad is looking at things and asking questions on ‘How is this even legal, let alone RIGHT?’   This from a man that had as much political interest as a 5 year old does, while I was growing up.   He’s getting scared from what he is seeing and says flat up, that he never ever expected things to get THIS bad,,,  Bad, yes, but this is Kray-Kray, pegging the Kray-kray meters hard enough to bend the indicators  ((To clarify, My dad recently asked me for a copy of the Constitution. (yes, I keep/kept hand copies for passing around. need to order some more)  He has been going through it as ‘issues crop up’ and get mentioned,,, He has even said ” I have a fourth grade education and this makes sense to me, how do these jerks get it so WRONG????”))

They are running scared, They have only one play book, and they don’t have a clue how to stop, even if they desired it.   This isn’t a powder keg anymore,,, this is warmed up Nitroglycerine bouncing around in the back of a truck on jungle roads.  The only thing that has kept it from going blooie, is the sawdust its packed in (our disbelief so far. IMO)

I’m just waiting for the day that Da runs to the bank and clears his accounts,,,,  He’s getting that scared, and with the looming economic downfall (just waiting on that myself,,,), I know its coming, just what comes first, the collapse, or total breach of contract on these shores? Dunno.  No, with the shit going on, I can’t say as I would blame him: I only hope he listens to myself or Sis in how to handle that cash,,, (move it into something TANGIBLE,,,, )    And that brings up something else,,, when do the bank runs begin?    Soon?   No one knows,,, but you can damned well guess they are coming too.   

It’s the End of the World as We Know It,,, its the end of the world as we know it,,, Its the end of the world as we know it, and I feel F.I.N.E.

Fucked up,

Insecure,

Nuerotic, and

Exhausted

sigh,,,, 

I need to go camping,

for a couple of weeks,

leave the comms behind,

shut down the house and send the kids to ‘daycare’ or something,,, 

I’d need a second boat to handle the beer and hootch,,,,, cuz I sure wouldn’t be spending all of my time sober,,,

I just keep waiting for that artificial sunrise that lasts for a quick minute,,,   If Putin hit DC, I might see the flash from here,,, maybe,,,

We’d definitely feel it though,,,  (we felt when they had tremors not so long ago,,,,)

gotta shut off the feeds,,, I really do,,,,  Mine and Da’s.

Muhndaze gone

and fading in the rearview and

GOOD RIDDENCE

Cripes, yesterday beat the dawgsnot out of me,,,,   Not that it was a physically challenging day, Only had two gates that needed built and a Rolling gate reprogram that needed done.

nope, it was the KOLD,,,, Low pressure area rolled in from SIs’s in Colorado.   Not so cold as say early February, but my brainium and the rest of my biological functions are already transistioning into summer mode.    It felt like it was 0degrees out,,,,,   And the wind out of the north was definitely sharper than the winds out of the south.  Razor sharp,,,,

Not going to touch on the poly-tickian realms today,   You either see it, or you don’t: the same playbooks used in 2020 are out, and I only await the next great bug to be escorted on-stage.  Then the burnlootmoiderin‘ mostly peaceful protests to begin,,, 

And watch 85% fall for that shit again,,,,,

Its pretty obvious, I have little faith in fellow humanity,,,,   I would like to think that after the the last four years, more have been shocked out of ‘the american dream’ and into reality,,,,,

It still blows my mind that he was saying this back in the 80’s, and NOTHING HAS CHANGED,,,, Same issues, maybe more intense, but Still the Same,,,,,

Alright, I’m off here and to the J.O.B.,,, One more day towards a weekend of wet,,,, and anethisizing my spirit for another week. (and that may include alkyhaul,,, mehbe,,, depends on the level of Grrrr I start with,,,,)

Movin’ forward towards November,,,,

Not intending this to be a downer post, but things that I keep seeing pop up, things that I think we all need to keep in our forebrains as we get closer to that (S)election cycle.  

Francis points out some aspects HERE

one of those is a X post by Emerald Robinson (new to me, not on X, so,,,,)

She states

NOW, we have already heard word that there are rumbles of “we won’t verify the election results if Trumped wins”   Sorta like they did on Jan6th,2021,,,,   THAT is a coup against the very people of the country,,,    And by rights, we could claim they have already done the COUP, a second time would only cement their position further and then,,,,

yeah,,, then, the cards are off the table, the guns pulled and the fur starts to fly.    If, and let me just go with the numbers from 2020, 70+ million people are openly given the middle finger by those in DC a second time four years apart, do you think for one minute that those 70+ million aren’t going to be rightously outraged and ready for blood?   Fool us once, shame on you,  Fool us twice, shame on us,   ONLY,,, It won’t be that we were fooled, it will be BFYTW from the machine, and that ain’t gonna fly.

what comes after?????

That blood bath I DO NOT WANT TO SEE!!!   It won’t be patriots descending on DC (though there might be some),,, Nope, the ‘REGIME’ at that point, will be in the same boat as every other dictatorship in history has been, and there is only one road to take: They have to get rid of the opposition before the opposition can get rid of them.   There is no other option or course available. NONE.   THEY know it, WE know it, HISTORY repeatedly shows it,    There will be a purge, it is written into the script and that script has only one ‘winner’, and that ‘winner’ WILL refuse to ‘step down’.    

but scripts can be re-written,,,,

prepare accordingly and hope like FUCK we are all wrong and that this time around, “they obligingly step down, peacefully”   But don’t hold your breath and most definitely don’t place your bets on that mark.

————————————————-

Now, don’t count on outside intervention,,, it ain’t coming.   Russia/Putin wants another Biden shaministration because that means further and further downgrading of a host of problems: he welcomes that since we ‘were’ his enemy no matter how many times he extended the olive branch..  I say ‘were’ because we aren’t, at this stage, anyones enemy but our own.  We have an emasculated military that is buried under MIC chicanery and dead broke, a logistics chain that has been squandered to uselessness and downsized to maximize profits to the MIC, and a chain of command (small case) that is more interested in buggering each other than actually, you know, WINNING WARS,,,,

  China sure isn’t going to give an assist to anyone, since they see our potential as a farm state, among other things,,,  They want us to fail so they can move in and pick the prime real estate to feed thier people and the rest of the world, AT PROFIT,,,,  

In some ways, the above gives me peace.   When you can see the worst outcome imaginable, you can see options that weren’t visible prior.   And those options can be on either side of the event and still work.   Ugly, you betcha, but we knew that it was going to get a whole lot worse before there would be any chance of better,,,,  

And I fully expect that whatever comes, is going to happen so damned fast, Like AmeriCANS are prone to, that within a year(2 on the outside), the clean up will begin.  I can’t see AmeriCAN’s allowing this shit to drag out for decades.   We shut down Hitler in 4 1/2 years, and stomped the Japanese Empire in about the same, and did both AT THE SAME TIME.   That drive is still in us, dormant for now, but when you wake that beast up,,,,,

So I am gonna say it: “Be of good cheer, this shit might be about to get heavy, but WE GOT THIS,”   so spine up, prep up as you can, and get ready to rumble like our Founders did.

Two days straight,,,,

Blessed relaxing water time,,, not many miles, lots of sitting in place watching the world, THE REAL WORLD, waking up from winters slumber.   Hearing the songs of birds screaming for sex (why yes Virginia, that is EXACTLY what those songs mean,,,,) catching sight of the little groups of wildflowers waking up and bursting forth,,,   Seeing trees budding and blooming.

And getting some muscle activity in too,,, of course, paddling,,,  had to get away from the ramp and the rudeness of loud music some insist on,,,,  Time and a place, IMO, and I am one of those that “when I am listening to “X”, so are the neighbors” (rare, does happen) but when you are at a public park where people are fishing etc,,, tone it down, please. (Hell, I made a living getting loud for years,,,, kinda in my blood, but I also understand and desire the sounds of silence at times.,,,_

I did some pushing of the paddle today, yesterday not as much.   No wind after almost a month and half of “Ughs!” and fighting off the Cruds,,,   Could get up to speed, but no stamina.   Gotta work on that and the best way is exactly what I was doing,,, push a little, rest, push a little more,,,  

I have a race in April (27th)  And laughingly enough, this year I am in the “senior” race class,,,,,    55 being the change year.   S’alright, I know I’m gettin’ long in tooth, I feel it more and more every year,,,gonna have to start looking for those places that give discounts to us ol’folk,,,,   I know some of them start at the age of 55,,,, (gotta save what I can where I can how I can,,,  $’s don’t stretch like they usedta, and I am not shy about taking advantage of my age,,,,) 

My mind though,,, OODDlles better than it was this AM when I posted up first.   I started dropping back into that “FTW” shift and that leads to ‘mucho muy mal’ thinks.   Wanna carry the good vibes into this workweek,,,,    Enough trials and tribs to keep one’s world offset, without needing to add to the fray with “Poly-TIcks”, right?

Anywhoos,,, I am gonna wrap up my weekend of good with a song for y’all,,, yeah, it was written back in the late 80’s early 90’s and is kinda sorta political in nature, but it always gets me fire up and ready to rumble in the world.

(I posted the track only, since the vid was political and very liberal in esscence, from the ‘get out the voat’ age of MTV,,, Frickin’ communists fuck everything up.)

Peace, and keep on livin’

Church it!!!

My personnel ZEN

And spring is doin’ just FINE

Click to embiggen, check out the buds

And look at the ceiling in MY church!!!

If only the waters were as blue as that here,,,,    sigh.

After a rough start this AM, I’m feeling a tad more tolerant of the result of my species.   Tolerant mind, you,  slightly forgiving of, not the whole ‘turn the cheek’ level,,,,

More laters
