See you when I can. Is that vague enough for you?

I am, tired of my own bitching---

At this very moment we have workers replacing 

our roof--

Therefore I am in the Hide mode...
trying to ignore the banging, scraping and yelling....

I have, for lack of a better term,

problems 

when strangers are working in/on

my house..

I hide until they are

have completed whatever...and go the fuck away.

I have always been like this and have

absolutely no explanation as to why?

I am so lucky in that, my long suffering wife,

understands this part of me---

The world is worried/upset/disgruntled
by North Korean nuclear weapon & missile tests ..
fearing a nuclear war started by their bizarre,
(to say the least)
 leadership....

--and our bizarre leadership...

 Japan the 2nd closest, democratic, enemy
of North Korea, and a country we have pledged
to protect and go to war for..
We, strangely, are willing to trade a nuked California,
to protect Japan....
What have the Japanese been doing
on their end, lately to defend themselves---
maybe beefing up defense wise--?
Maybe developing new defense missile shields?

Nah---------
The Japanese just announced that they have
 developed a robot dog that grades you on how
badly your feet smell---

kyushu-company-develops-robot-dog-that-faints-if-your-feet-smell-too-bad

Cause I'm involved in another project that
will probably fail---
Air Rifle---

 I ordered a new air rifle,
of course---
It's on the way...

I am planning/hoping to
shoot the men"s, standing air rifle event at the 
2018 New Mexico Senior Olympics---

I have a great deal of training and practice

to do however---

I bet you cannot wait for 

blog updates on this one...!

Thanks to being hootched up in my
command center hiding during the days of re-roofing of the house...
fearful of strangers at my place..
I sat down and worked on several watches..
Including this CJLABA ,Russian, self-winding mechanical...

I picked this watch up fairly cheap off Amazon
and on arrival it was not functioning...
and had a shitty, silver metallic case coating..
CJLABA's are pretty well know for being pieces of shit..
half Russian/half Chinese....
Supposedly CJLABA is Russian for China..?
So a watch combined with the worst of the world's
quality control...?

I opened it, lubed it, flat black painted the case, and
put 6 layers of clear coat over the flat black..
The paint does chip tho--I'll have to
say--annually touch it up???
After testing to insure it would keep time
(it actually does now)
I added an orange leather band...
which is worth more than the entire watch---?

I am considering as the finishing element..
to paint the,non-functioning, bezel numeric--Orange...
what do you think?

There is nothing more assured in life than the fact
that a religious nut bag, praise God, anti-abortion 
Republican politician---

Is a porn-er..
Ted Cruz twitter
Now truly, I would have predicted 
--um--
texting a dick pic--
but I can't be right all the time....
Well I can be when it comes to these shitheads..

Tho we all feel bad for Floridians 
with the hurricane and all---
Especially the old folks dying in 
the nursing homes,
(that had already be adjudicated as sub-standard)

Admit it--we're all waiting to see what a 
few days of no water, no power, no crack, no meth
and no drive through food,
does to your standard issue insane, armed Floridian..
who
 in quote, normal times, unquote

is well known to be

 completely fucked up---

So who's got money on 

Mad Max ????

Florida fears humanitarian crisis in irmas aftermath

Isn't "any" amount of atomic activity on the moon unusual?

 Not so happy with myself....

I am taking a break from writing about
the assholes, in or worse, leading our society....
There are just way too many assholes now to think about...
unless---?
This is all me and i need a break from me---

Either way,  it is asshole society commentary
break time...

My project world has followed along with me being 

off-center...everything from guitar and attempting to gig---

 To just---anything that i have attempted

feels as if it is crashing lately...

Yet tho i keep instigating more projects----?
Is there a name for this psychological problem...?

The, um--15th, rebuild of my nerd cave..

Includes making space for my Shortwave radio..

and over the winter i am planning on using it...

Efficiently--

So I finally broke down and purchased a 
"signal manual" to help me find--
countries and/or broadcasters as compared to 
my previous system of,
aimless, random turning of
dials in search of something interesting...

My plan is to actually attempt to treat
my shortwave listening activity as a real
project for a change...
but----
my projects have not been going well lately...
but i do keep trying tho.

I am thinking about training again with my
air rifles....and of course wanting a new one.....

Then the other side of my brain
kicks in and wonders why do i need another
project that i will suck at...?

We went to a neighborhood Labor Day BBQ..

A person i had just met there, in conversation asked me..
"What do you do being retired?"

I was somewhat caught unaware by this
question..especially sort of right off the bat?
I wasn't prepped for it and i blurted out
answering lamely---
but in thinking of this moment, maybe truthfully,
"I hang out."
Lately feeling adrift..old and not that 
excited with myself...?

Possibly, maybe, could be, why not..
Radio Telescopes have picked up what the
operators have considered to be a 
repeating signal--
which these folks believe could be
intelligent transmissions..?

radio bursts repeating
Even if it's not this time....
Someday it's gonna be.....

Excellent--on DVD...
