The first is both a statement of mindset,

And our future possible,,,,

Try and figure the math in the LINK

Cuz I sure missed something,,,,

Coming to a country near you, under you around you,,, BETCHA

fuggit

keep on  livin’ and piss ’em the fuck off.

every guy that has wrenched on his car KNOWS of what I speak,,,,

Buffalo had to have a say in how the day went down, and DOWN it did.   Tow bill, parts bill, and the usual Family emotional bill that comes about from needing to make that call of “dad, can ya come pick me up”

Cripes,,, I’m goin on 56 and the man can still make me feel as insignificant as a 4 year old with his hand in the icecream carton,,,,

Long story, quick synopsis, headed back home from lake, made a turn and suddenly Buff is coughin’ and wheezin’ and no power and intermittent farts out the tail pipe.   Roll to a stop and find a driveway to roll back into.   No one home, but the people across the street were and helped me with the first diag step (they took me to get a can of gasoline, and REFUSED to take any cash in return.)   At first, I was concerned that having been running the AC a wee bit this week, she was sitting lower than the lying Fuel gage stated.    Two gallons in, same shit,,,, Great,,, Timing gears? something in the ignition?????

Tow truck call since I know that Dad wouldn’t know where the hell to find me and is craptastic at following directions,,,,   $100 to go 10 miles to a common landmark type place (wallyworld)   and start callin’ the dad.    10 tries, finally he calls me back,,,,  “I know you’re broke down,,, the only time you call me like this,,,, where are ya?”

Sigh,,,,    In my defense,,, I don’t normally call him at all, since I drive by his house twice a day, and stop in once a day on my way home,,,,  

And the bugger has a tendency to turn his phone off and not realize it for days on end.

Text Son of Bossman, ask to borrow the car dolly; good to go, go pick it up with Da’s truck, and head back to get the Buff.   Whiie on the way, Throw the dice and stop to get a cap and rotor,,, Can’t hurt, might help,,,, she’s left me like this once before.   

Get back to the Buffalo, pop the hood, do the parts swap and

VRRRRRROOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!

well fuck ME!

Had I not been in such a twatwaffle state of mind, I would have tried that FIRST!! And there were THREE parts houses within walking distance of where I had her towed.   

nuther long sigh,,,,,,

ANywhoos,,,, I swapped the car dolly over to my beast of burden and released Da from Saviour of the Day duties (after offering to fill his tank for his troubles,,, denied,,,) and

here I am, at home, frazzled but intact, with a lighter wallet than the day started with, BUT NOT HURTING,,,,  More M-BARE-ASSED than anything,,,

 

As for all the other fun the Buffalo-truck has had going on: Differential is FINALLY flippin’ quiet!!!   Tire noize is all I hear or the intake roar when I open up to accelerate.    Nice n quiet ride and I can put on some Audio books again.

I know whats gonna crap out next and am taking steps to be ready, or as near ready as one can be when you are talking power-plant failure (like I was CERTAIN had happened today,,,Thanks to the gremlins of dark humor and mechanical things)   YES, I am kicking this can down the road to a later date: not much choice seeing how I am NOT made of money, and my good looks don’t work on those that would be able or willing,,,,(Ewww! ICK!) and my moral code denies me the “Sugar Mama” that seems popular in some circles.

(on a side note,,, there is one engine swap that is tempting me,,,, The cost of the swap will end up the same and there is only a bit more involved, but some of the drawbacks of the 4.3L would be eliminated,,,,,    A 327/LS1 swap.   New/overhauled 4.3 runs $2500,,, New/overhauled 327 runs same,,,, different engine mounts needed and some shoehorning but,,,,,    Just a thought for now,,,,,)

more laters

1) Throughout History, Widespread Poverty is the NORM: we have been living in an age of enlightened living since the peak of the Industrial Revolution and its hit a rough spot with the advent of the digital Revolution.  These things pass, and usually there is an increase in the living standard average, overall, when they do.  

2) the Current rough spot is ‘the changing of the gaurd’ sort of thing.  The old rules are faulty in the new age, but there are enough people still clinging to them that the transitition is turbulant. (looking at the Geriatrics in DC for example, to include Trumped who really wants the world to revert to the 1980’s again)

3) People are seeing the lies now.  the rubber bands hiding the core of this rubber band ball are snapping.   Each one that snaps, reveals that things are not as they seem, and actually MUCH simpler than we have been taught/led to believe.   

4) there is ZERO need of 400,000+(guestimate,,) pages of regulation in a country with an estimated population of 350M.   

5) IF!!! anyone thinks that Biden is actually the one running things, you are an idiot of the fifth magnitude!!!!   The last 7 years; four of Trumped, and the last 3 with Xi-den, have shown to MANY MANY PEOPLE, that the actual power is behind the curtains, and Trumps statements of “DEEP STATE” are more fact that fantasy.  

6) ANYONE, that votes straight party ticket, no matter which party, and admits to it with pride, has no currency in any discussion I wish to have.   They have proven they are NOT critical thinkers, and are in fact LAZY!!!  They don’t want to think about things, no matter how much they claim otherwise.   They don’t look at the bigger picture of “Who has done what, over how many years” and never will.   That mindset is 90+% of why this country has gone off the rails without brakes.

7) IN TWENTY YEARS, none of this is going to matter one iota!!!    Think about that.    Look back Twenty years and see what was giving you the willies then, and see if they still do?   Betcha they don’t!    Only one thing is constant: CHANGE, and change is never permanent!

Fuck it!!!  

There is no fixing this Government without RADICAL SURGERY: the beast is self propogating now and the only way to kill it is to starve it or have outside intervention.    Neither is a good prospect to those of us that have to live under it.

Is Trumped the answer?  IMO, NO, but he COULD BE the introduction to the surgeries needed to excise the disease that is killing this country.  {{I have my doubts about the reality of that, and I have stated in round-a-bout fashion, that  THINK he is actually the cobalt rod being stuck in, to cool the reactor that is getting mighty hot these days.   If this is actually the case, then we are TRULY BEING PLAYED BY POWERS NOT ELECTED AND NOT ACCOUNTABLE  AND WE ARE TRULY SLAVES TO THE STATE!!!!   }}   Re-read item 2 above,,, Trump is a symbol of that Changing of the Guard, and the other heads of state that are still in that old Gaurd are scared of what he represents.   Look to the other countries that are seeing “Populism” on the rise and how those states and heads of state are responding.    

I love my country, I DESPISE its government (as it currently exists). 

This post is going up, leaving comments open, but anyone trying to argue against my points above are going to be deleted with prejudice: This post is NOT a discussion open to debate.   If I offended you, DON’T CARE: your alliegance to a system that is raping and murdering with abandon offends me, and I deal with it; you can deal with it too.

   And with that all out of the way, I am NOW, going to take that break from blogging for a spell.   Happy 248th Fourth of July.

Stepping away from the blogging thing for a spell.   Dunno when I will return.

I have me reasons,,,

Y’all stay livin’

as if “Odd” were a new feeling for me,,, Have always felt odd around ‘normal’ people.

Just feel like my mind/spirit is going through some sort of transition, and things are ‘out of sorts’ for me.    I watch and read the same things, but I am seeing things with different perspectives now,

and I can’t say why,,,,

Like watching a clip of Putin saying he ‘endorses’ Slo-Jo,,,    I was reading the words (subtitled, his spoken words in Russian) but I could hear the truth in his spoken word though I have not one divot of Russian in my dialogues. (other than nyet, and a couple of other simple phrases)   What I was hearing: He would prefer Jo to stay in the White house so that he and Xi have another four years to consolidate thier hold on the remainder of the rest of the world through the financial systems they are building.   I think they fear Trump getting in and the Deep State enacting the Debt Bomb early and collapsing everything too soon.   They are getting close, but they haven’t grabbed enough of the western world’s attention: IE, they don’t have the Euro or the Dollar in a chokehold, yet.

How is it that I can HEAR that in his spoken word, yet his translated words don’t convey that detailed message.  I’m not psychic, but I can detect those meanings from body language and tones, and those are the messages I was picking up. (And sometimes what is NOT said, speaks volumes more than what is said. )

Odd

Feeling odd

feeling like I can see things not readily visible.   Like the fact that this world is in a major war, but one that is not likely to go full on kinetic, but one of the MIND/SPIRIT of the inhabitants.  

Feel like I may be losing my mind in some moments. (and know I am not alone there,,, this is one seriously fucked up world right now.)

————————————————————-

Very short week this week.  Long four day weekend upcoming, though my time with friends is slotted for next weekend, not this’un.

Water time?   Depends on if that part arrives or not.   Last I looked, it was in Knoxville UPS DC getting loaded up.   It SHOULD be here tomorrow,,,,   If so, I dig into Buffalo again, take my sweet ass time and get this shit right.  She’s been running good, very mild whine on decel, and tire noise is actually louder, but, Still, I worry: Been screwed up more than once over the last year and half by a goofy differential setup.

But yah, water time is in order, and might visit a lake I have not been on much (covered maybe 2 miles of shore line on it,,,)   Will see.   

Y’all keep livin’ out there,,,

Spent all day out in the sun, and feeling a little parbroiled,,,   And that daggum pool we are working around was looking mighty enticing towards the end,,,,

One more day there, I hope anyways,,, the stuff we are putting up moves fast once you get going, its the initial set up of things that takes some time, and has to be right  or the whole thing looks ‘off’.

just a quick Jog through the nets, lots of seemingly positive things happening around the world as well as the not Positive things taking place.   I still have a lot of trepidation that what is going on, on these shores, is contrived from deep places and totally scripted,,, but then I see the populism sweeps taking place in other countries and, well,,,,

Maybe there is some grit left in this country still,,,,

I know there is, but much of what I see is a manipulated public,,, Social media sites are RIFE with it, even Tucker has pointed out how that whole thing works,,,(that I can’t find now, figures,,,)

Still, I watch the goings ons, and there is more than a little bit of cyncism in my thinking,,,   Oh, How I would love to see the Leftoid mentallity crumble into the dust bin where (IMO) it belongs.   

But I know there are many many many people out here in the great wide world that cling to wanting regulation to dictate how they live breath operate function,,,,,    And that doesn’t just ‘fix’ itself overnight,,,

You gotta trust people,, thats the first rule,,,  IF you have no trust that (most) people will do the right thing, then you end up with tyrants.   May not happen fast, but the end is always the same.  Your distrust and “there aughtabealaw” mindset leads there.     When regulations grow to high, then there must be enforcement, and that enforcement is never at the individual level, and that breeds the interdependence, loss of individuallity, and devolution of society into what we see now.   Eleets that only want more and more control, those that want to be told what to do, and the rest that JUST WANNA BE LEFT ALONE.

sorry for the rambles, my mind is sun-fried today,,,

Have a cute kat video instead of my monologue of doom.
