You might want to try ‘prepping’……

Ok, first off a disclaimer. Im going to try and make this as non-political as possible.... while still dealing with political issues. No promises I will be successful. I have friends all over the political spectrum and if you know me then you know I dont like to talk politics or religion because its the easiest way to alienate friends. So the fact that Im talking about it.... On to the meat of this issue. I did open source intellgence analysis for a while, and I still keep track of world events as…Read more …

Where has the time gone?

Well, it seems I have been remiss in my posting duties. I often forget that there are people who actually read these ramblings of my addled brain, and they arent just to supplement my faltering memory. If I was texting I would insert a smiley face at this point. Maybe an 'LOL' would work better. I would like to start off with a heart felt 'Hello!' and 'Miss you all' to Dan, Liz, Kerri, and Dr KM in Aussie land. You know who you are. It has been too long since my last…Read more …
A quick update

A quick update

Hello everyone. Its been a while, but things have been busy. I have two new project cars, the shop is under way, more work on the garden on the property, and other bits of news. Im not sure which topic to start with so I think I will go with "Happy New Years". Yes, in Feburary. I honestly dont know how January slipped by so quick. Time seems to be speeding up, or I am slowing down, either way I blink and another month is gone. In other news, there is finally progress…Read more …

The rust baby runs….

Here is a short clip of the new project running. After a mornings worth of getting things ready it only took it about 15-20 seconds of turning over to start and run. I will post the details in a follow up tomorrow.Read more …
Shars 5C collet indexer

Shars 5C collet indexer

This isn't a review, its a complaint. One thing I detest is buying a tool and then having to fix the tool before I can even use it. That's just plain B.S. The tool in question is a 5C collet indexer from Shars. I had been looking at indexers for a while since I need to cut some gears and the rotary table can be a pain to use. Instead I can use the laser cutter to precisely cut whatever tooth count I need and 'spindex' my way around. I bought the one…Read more …
Is it 2017 already?

Is it 2017 already?

Yup, I have been busy and a bit slow posting things. there are too many things in the works to hit all of them but I'll give you the highlights. - I'm back to playing the bagpipes with the band again. Played the Sonora Celtic Faire this last weekend and I need to practice because picking up the pipes again showed how much I haven't retained. - The laser cutter is working well. It's basically stock except for the addition of an ammeter to see what current the tube is running at. -…Read more …
New toy….. I mean tool…..

New toy….. I mean tool…..

I'm still trying to figure out which it is. Maybe it's both... a grown-up toy that's a cool tool. I have to admit I was pretty excited when the delivery guy pulled up out front and rolled up the door on the trailer. I took the day off just to make sure I was there. We got it off the truck and stashed it in the garage and that is when I realized... That this is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Yeah, 4 feet long and over 2 feet…Read more …
I am not dead…. or lost….

I am not dead…. or lost….

I've just been busy. No property yet, but still in the search mode since I feel like time is getting shorter to get my butt on a parcel and get it set up the way I want it. I will be taking a road trip in the near future, out hunting for new road and places to see, maybe bring back a few new antiques to restore. I won't post anything on here while I'm on the trip since I don't know who  is reading this, and I don't want them knowing when…Read more …

WTF Wednesday

I woke up groggy and not feeling well this morning. I don't understand cause I slept like the dead last night, but my Surge watch says I was awake 22 times last night. And then I saw this.... WTF is that on my ankle? I mean sure, I've woke up with some weird marks on me before but it's usually due to the girlfriend of choice at the time. I live alone, have a good camera system around the house, and a good alarm system but occasionally I wake up not feeling well…Read more …
