and its back to the mines in the AM.

guuh,,,,,

No mind,,,,

Sorta needed that on Satyrday,,, really fubared the first half of the run (IMO,,, everyone else thought I was doing great,,,  They couldn’t see the knockin’ kneecaps under the decks of the boat.) (hindsight, did it to meself, and the resulting Adrenaline rush was impressive.)   

but I got over it and the last half of the run, MAYTAG went smooth as butter (as smooth as a converging set of wave trains can be,,,,) and was quite anti-climatic,,,   The Ledges were more exciting (with my looking down the maw of a pour over on my right side and goin’, “aw-shit,,,,”  but I swept right through it, just fine,) (aktually,,,, Rio did just fine, felt that current pull and nosed right into that hole with NO INPUT from me and pulled me through it without me needing to brace once.)

and I am sore as shit!!!!!    Not used to using the euro-blades, nor high digging with such,,, my usual greenlands are used low down with way more torso twist; not near as much upper body as I used the last two days.  wooof,,,, The new guy had better be good, cuz’I’m gonna be on the lite-duty list (self enforced)

not ENOUGH water time IMO,,, Want more, but gonna have to make do with what I carry forward into this week.

Keep on livin’

E.L.F.    extremely low flow

We were all on site with a decent amount of daylight and consensus was ” We’re here to get wet, let’s get wet”  so we did a couple miles of the dirty bird with natural flow rates,  

SCCRRRRRAAÀPPPPPLEEEEE!!!!!!!!

But we had fun!!!!  A couple of us (self included), had not had our current boats on moving water.

And I stated at the gate, ‘I ain’t leadin’ this circus!!!”  

ROFLMAO!!!!!   The last rapid before take out, there I am out front, clueless, and NOTHING is familiar.   Usually, this area is chaos with converging currents and chaotic wave trains with a hard surprise on river left (called maytag, with reason)   not as much today,  but there I was out front and,,,

Dry hair! and a stronger spine in a formerly untested boat.    

I

Love

This

Boat!!! 

Wet ride when the waves are dancing but so the F! what;  it’s a water sport, right?   I love the way she just rolls right off rocks,  not hanging onto them, and she is FAST!!!  OMG,  is she quick,  but fully manageable.

Tomorrow, they release and the levels, flow and SPEED increase,   

I think I’m ready,,,

Toss one back, I’m more than a few ahead of y’all right now, and

So content about my reality,,,,

Keep on livin’!   I sure am!

and I blew it off as implausible, but I can be convinced otherwise,,,

Not saying I am convinced enough,YET,,,

Whatz I’ma talkin’bout

Multiple corpses in cheif playin’ in the NPC Mindfuk

Still I think too many moving parts and the possiblity of a leak is WAY HIGH

but that being said, the machine running this fuckwit nation the last three and half years has managed to pull of some stone cold fuk-ewes on the Ameri-CAN peoples and get away cold.    

The founders would have stretched some necks by now,,,   Not quite bodystacking time, but definitely ‘examples shown’ sorts.

—————————————————————

Its zero-dark, and I’m putting the polish on my escape pod to the DirtyBird.   More caffeine in the veins, a Monster for the drive,,,, Gotta go pick up the Burnout and take his lame butt to the J.O.B. but thats simplesimples: and I may drop him off with a slow drive by, “Get the Fuk out”, and not stop,,,,   Don’t want Bossman getting it in his head “Dio’s here, project saved” cuz I ain’t THERE, and I ain’t stickin’round today.

so, as of right now, all comms to the outside world are going dark, the Fone is getting put into “do not disturb” and plugged into the Buffalo until such time as I return to the Matrix.   If you are on my list of contacts Priori, you can get ahold of me, if not,,, muhahahaha,,,, get in line; your number will be called as it climbs to the top of the list, WHEN! I decide to deal with this matrix again.

Ok, some of y’all are wondering why I keep saying that term (DirtyBird),,, well the Dirty Bird is the Pigeon River in NC/TN that feeds into the FrenchBroad,,,  Its a white water hot spot of a sort,,, two sections, the upper (class 3+ sort, maybe higher) and the lower, mostly class 1/2+)       There is a dam release on a regular rotation and those times are when that river is fun.   The rest of the time its pretty much a scrape/float/scrape sort of river.

There is a release on Saturday and thats why the group is headed there this weekend (with some already in location)

as for why I am calling it the Sanitee Run,,,   Observe,,,,

DRIVEN BY WHOM is the question I have and the answers I am getting back are not ‘settling’ in anyway.

And not one is a concrete answer: just speculative, but still, very discomforting.

So,

I retreat to a retreat to enjoy livin’ for a spell,,,,   I don’t like saying FTW! but I am most definitely getting to “FTUSGOV!!!” (ok, far more than I usually am,,,   Anarchist/Contrarian that I am,,,,)

I have stated off-n-on for years that I think the actual power of the gooberment is in factions within of the un-elected.   Senior Executive Service Emps,,,, ONLY, if you can’t fire them, they aren’t Emps, they are BOSSES,,, and they are in several factions,,,   Intelligence, State, Mil-arm, and Education.    Which one is at the peak of power right now,,,  State or INTEL?    I know the others really act more like lackies to the former two: so long as they get a slice of pie every now and then, they play.  

and all the Funzies goin’ on that we are allowed to see (trust me, we don’t see even the tip of that iceberg,  more like the flotsam in the water surrounding it.) tell me that the war is getting hotter, the knives are loose and if not in play, being honed for the ‘de-boning’ getting ready to happen.

On a more ‘real world’ note, IF (and I state that with the flimsiest of hope) OMB actually makes it to the (S)Election process, gets the Electorals, and somehow the infighting doesn’t strip him of the ‘Win’ (they have levels they can play against us, We, The People,  we ain’t ‘home’ yet,,,, Not by a long shot) What happens after Jan20,,,,   I don’t know,,, Short of EO’ing everything, I can’t see his term being that effective UNLESS the Rats abandon ship faster than his pen can sign his name.   I see the Pee-Lousy and Screw-more standing fast and making deals with Arkancide squad ‘just in case’

Kabuki theater,,,,,    Short of stripping DC of every unelected BUrro-Crap, strap hanger, and paper-pusher, there won’t be ANY changes worth writing home about.    I can’t see Trumped gettting his “Zero Income Tax” promise across the board (recall, it was instituted with a Constitutional Amendment,, not regulation, at first..) Nor can I see him gutting the agencies,,,   Because he has no control over the funding side,, does anyone see how he can hamstring them?     The SES has protected themselves from removal by pen, so,,,, (that BOSSES, Not EMPs thing,,,)

And who the hell is actually going to do the investigations as promised (see the above meme for clarification)    Dammit,, its like a fourth grade teacher having the students grade each others work and not double checking the results,,,,  There NEEDS to be a third party, outside, unbiased, or what we get is ‘Hey, you cover me this time, I’ll have your back when you need it.’ AND NOTHING EVER CHANGES!!!

There is only one thing that would ‘make the changes’ and that won’t happen unless there is death; they succeed where they failed July13,,,, or cheating on a scale that can’t be denied in anyway, no matter HOW MANY media heads gaslight us.   (think 110million votes for Kneepads harris,,,

If either of those happen, there MIGHT,, may be, possibly,, enough anger that people get off the frillin’ porch and storm the swamp with enough angst and vitriol to burn the stench into the minds of future generations as to what happens when you ‘push too far’,,,,

I won’t be holdin’ my breath over it,,,

But I am watching, CLOSELY, and if those playin’ the games are too, they should see that they are really close to tipping over that can of Whooop-ass called Rightously Pissed off AMERICANS.  (and maybe the suicidal side of them wants that,,, dunno,,,,)

Keep on livin’

keep on laughin’

And keep on loadin’ up (preps, ammo, you name it,,,,)

Dunno’bout y’all, but this week has been kray-kray from the word go.    And not on the J.O.B. front, or home front, but out in the wilds of the world.   

Not even going to speculate on how things are being driven, and hoo-boy, if you think the antics abound aren’t being driven, than you might to do some hard core deep dive into C.S. Lewis and Spooner for some lessoning.  Toss in some Bernays for flavor and thickening.

Honestly, the more I meditate on things; and I am doing LOTS of meditating lately, the more I come to the conclusion that this is all the final thrust of a world that has been built on lies since before Yeashuah was crucified.   I’m not going to go into it all here, too deep a rabbit hole and I would need to make a  map for your first.  NOR would I expect you to see things the same way I came to,,, to many variables and you might find things I missed or see them under a different light for a different perspective.   I can only say, the more I dig, applying what I DO KNOW of human nature and giving it that Occams Razor approach,,,  

There ain’t nuthin’ new under the sun, and people might change with technology, but the core ingredients have not evolved one iota in two thousand years.   There will always be those that desire power over others, and those that just want to be left alone, and those that are so damned gullible ‘For justice’, the first group can manipulate them at will.  

To quote Heinlein; “There Ain’t No Justice”    (TANJ was a swear word of a sort, used in several of his novels.)

and another “TANSTAAFL”   There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch   (straight outta The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, that’un is.)

But there will always be the squishy headed that think Utopia is right around the corner, and there will always be those that desire power and are more than happy to use whatever means available, to include the squishy minded types, to get it.

And that leaves the rest of us,,, The Sigmas, a term I keep coming across, and finally dug into ‘WTF is this crap about?’,,,, Yeah, I live under rocks most times and trendy shit takes a bit to find  me and leak under the rocks.   Just another name for those that understand “DON’T TREAD ON ME” at the spiritual level, IMO,,,,

But all of this Kray-Kray seems to be building to something,,,, And NO ONE seems to have a clue how its going to blow, how strong the blow will be, or in which direction the blow is aimed.    The dirtbags in DC that are so obviously out of control right now, (at war within is the gist I am catching), who knows what orders are going to get passed down, to either start some shit so they can cancel the (S)elections cycle, or kick of the Jihaddi factions (a can of worms they have ZERO clue about, and once opened,,,,) or

hell, I don’t know,,, I can’t see any sanity, but I am seeing much hubris and delusional actions from being so disconnected from the people,,,,  That shit happens when you live in an echo chamber and feed on your own waste products for generations.

The only thing  I keep coming back to, is that this shit-show is going to blow up, not IF, just WHEN,,,, and HOW of course, but thats why we prep, right, for the unknown-unknowns,,,,   The surprise party that you didn’t expect when Mama–Gaia has had enough, or the societal collapse when the grid fails, or, or, or,,,,,

yeah,,, that.   You do NOT have enough ammo,,,,   Thats the only truth I see these days. 

I’m just glad as hell that a former KGB agent is showing so much better restraint than our current unknown ‘leadershit’ heirarchy,,,   It’s good to know there is at least one adult (power hungery he may be,,,,) at the helm, somewhere.

And part of me is falling for the shit-show.  How many of you have any idea what is going on in the KrainianKokedupKlownKar?  Or whats going on in Gaza (I Know Knutjob is visiting Mara-lago, after being snubbed by the corpse in chief, and others. but whats goin’ on at site of his ‘issues’?)   Dunno,,, of course, the medias, are to enraptured by the Political funzies of DC to, I don’t know, like actually keep tabs on things?   Keep people informed”   

I am taking the low road on this note though,,, I have been increasingly lazy when it comes to ‘keeping up’ on that shit because in no small way, I have seen through it and see it for what it is.

COMPLETE BULLSHIT

Complete bullshit we keep buying into and letting those who claim to be our betters, rape us of our hard-earned wages, so they can grift and money-launder their way to wealth and more power.  

yeah,,, feeling that black pill coursing through my veins tonight,,,  

Telly’all what,,, double shots on me, but you gotta pour your own,,, whatsayya?

keep on livin’, laughin’ and loadin’    The world is not as fucked up as those in power want us to believe.

a warning?

Think Kurt Vonnegut,,,,,

another of those timebombs planted deep in my brain.

Shit out there is getting crazy, with the whole wondering if Slo-Joe is even alive or not (has he been alive for the last 4 years?   Lots of thinks that what we have seen are a series of body-doubles,,, Not goin’ down that rabbit-hole as there are far too many moving parts and too many that would ‘leak’,,,,  I think this’un’s too far out there, and would require WAY MORE competence.)

Thunderboomers rollin’ around my hills here in Appalachistan,,, more water than  these hills and trees know what to do with, and probably some good white water in some creeks,   Not going there right now: gotta DirtyBird run this weekend coming up with Friends and Duct-tape Fams,,, Taking Rio with.  and am considering taking the ARC to put up for sale,,,,   Sell her there or lug her back, doesn’t matter much to me.   She’s been hanging out there since the last DirtyBird run and I sorta feel guilty about that.  

Fact is, I am so much more confident in Rio, that I can do things, even if on flat water currently, that I wouldn’t even attempt in the ARC.  I feel ‘as one’ with the boat; like we are attached at the hip (we are in a sense if you count the seat and skirt) and she responds quick as thought to me.  

Anywhoosits,,, its a Muhnday, was a Muhnday right out of the gate and its hot, DAMP (94% humidity here current) and the kidz are all skitzoid with the T-boomers,,,

keep on livin’

but the recent Kabuki theater shenanigans prompted me to get my voice out and on record,,,,

My take of Xi-den renouncing his re-election bid,,,,

This is Doc Jills big F! You! to the Dems, and Slo-Jo has little to do with the decision (other than his physical/mental state being a factor)  Nopes! this is ‘Doc’ Jill telling Barry Seotoro to go get fucked, and setting it up so the DNC MUST accept Joe’s ‘endorsement’ of that creature they so loath; Knee-pads Harris. 

I have no idea of the internal infighting going on right now, but I can imagine that the name calling is at levels not seen since Barry and Killary had a improved meeting on the Tarmac in Arizona (wherafter, she politely pulled out of THAT presidential bid, and was quickly ensconced as SecState when the ‘lightbringer’ was elevated to power. Nope, no deal making going on in that private jet, no way,,,,>sarc off<)

With an incumbents endorsement, the party (usually) is burdened with carrying out the orders of the encumbent.    I would say that there is a whole lot of Mafioso manuevering going on behind the scenes and some are trying to re-write the rules on the fly.   

And if they can’t do that, they will shutter the whole damned show in some way.  

Mr Trump, watch your back,,,  NO, MORE than ever now,,,   They tried once, they WILL try again, and the mistakes they made won’t be done twice (too many watching now.)  Seriously, watch your back and Double vet any that are assigned to you.

Mr Kennedy,,, You are not far behind on that watch your back list.   Especially if they get to DJT first,,,,      

And I have serious doubts that the (s)election will even happen.    Shit will be done, even if it means an EMP or major Cyber-attack (with tons of fingerpointing at Russia,,, yeah we’ve heard that one more than once,,, the jokes old guys.) or who knows what the desperate will pull,,,, There are 4 months (3 1/2 closer) till Nov 5th and another 2 months they can delay and obstruct the wishes of the people,,,, and God only knows what sort of damage can be done via EO’s with the signiture of a corpse on them (and if you think Biden will survive 3 months after leaving office???   Too many knives and grudges on that side of the aisle.   And lots of dirt,,,  I wouldn’t expect Jill nor Hunter to last 6 months even with protective services  (think Epstein in jail,,,,,,)  )

so there’s my two cents, adjusted for inflation, worth about the wrapper on your Double Mint chewing gum,,,,,
