Old is the shits…





Why yes, yes I do.
A Lot.
Probably too much but I get that from my dear departed saint of a Grandmother.
She was a pro at it.
It’s not like there isn’t anything to worry about, as a matter of fact, there is so much to worry about that I worry that I am missing something to worry about.
The way I see it, if you aren’t worried about something lately, you absolutely deserve what you get when the hammer falls.
And it’s going to fall, trust me on that.

I worry so much about things that I aggravate the piss out of The Wifely Unit.
It’s not that I derive pleasure from it, far from that.
I am the literal definition of The Guy That Just Wanted To Be Left Alone.
The problem here, is that there seems to be a bunch of sociopathic megalomaniacs in places that I will never see, who think they are better than everyone else and that think they should be telling everyone else how they should live.
And die.
Mainly that.
They just want 90% of us to die and leave them to create some unattainable utopia where their every whim is immediately fulfilled by ignorant and easily manipulated brown skinned worker bees who barely manage to keep from starving to death themselves.
I have a problem with that.
Anyone else paying attention to current and likely coming events should have too as it directly affects them.
The political and socio-economic shenanigans I have seen taking place lately tell me that there are some serious moves and realignments coming in the very near future and none of them have my best interests at heart.

Right?
None of which are happening randomly.
Living expenses are going through the roof, intentionally created supply chain problems are exacerbating that and those two things alone are enough to cause me to worry about things.
Then we have the Eat Ze Bugs assholes pulling strings and generally making a nuisance of themselves along with the Meat Puppets they control who are doing their damndest to make life as miserable as they can by choking off our abilities to work, travel, socialize, cook, eat and heat the modest living quarters we are still just barely able to afford.
All the while stealing us blind, economically enslaving our great, great grandchildren and enriching themselves with graft and money laundering schemes to make themselves so obscenely rich off our backs as to be unimaginable.
So yeah, I worry about these things.
To tell you the truth, I have had a sense of foreboding in the pit of my stomach for the last few weeks that I can’t ever recall it being so over powering like it is.
It can’t just be me either.
Sure I worry but this is next level dread.
Of course there isn’t a damn thing I can do to stop what’s coming, the die has been cast and the results of events already in motion will be what they will be but this sense of the need of an uprising by restless natives will not shake.
My fear is that it is already too late.
The amount of Died Suddenly I am seeing lately is unprecedented and it is only going to get worse.
It appears to me that The Sheeple inhabiting this world have indeed been dumbed down so far as to literally mimic their name sakes and they are unable to see they have been lined up in the pens leading to the slaughter house.
Like everyone who comes here, I am desperately trying to avoid being collateral damage.


Hi again
Here are a few more from shows etc that I’ve collected.
First is an Indian, about 1948
Next two are a couple of drag race VWs, not sure where those pics are from
Blue car is an SP 250 Daimler, 2.5 litre V8
Red car is a Marcos kit car which used Ford running gear and a plywood bonded tub chassis with metal bearers
V12 E type Jag, beautiful car, so unlike the crap they make today
One of your Jeeps with a sadly none functional 50cal
An earlier Indian chief, about 1940
A three wheeler BSA, very popular and similar to the Morgan’s, 1930s this one
Late 40s or early 50s Caddy
Your nemesis (Phil), a Sprite, but the early Frogeye
Then it goes Firebird, General Lee clone, Dodge done up as a NASCAR’s racer, Nash, nice Mustang and a Plymouth
Regards
Robert

























They are making absolutely sure Biden gets gone.
Still no FBI raids and you can guarantee ain’t nobody getting within fifteen feet of Jill Biden’s underwear drawer though.
The Justice Department seized additional classified records from President Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware home during a search it conducted on Friday, Fox News has learned.
The Justice Department conducted a search of the house beginning Friday morning at 9:45 a.m., which concluded Friday night around 10:30 p.m. and covered “all working, living and storage spaces in the home,” Biden’s personal attorney Bob Bauer said Saturday evening.
They are lying, Jill’s underwear drawer remains sealed for National Security reasons.

As is customary, I was watching a Youtube of one of my favorite Home Machinist type guys, Steve Summers, and he showed this smoking deal on one of these,

You can see him demonstrate how handy they are starting at 28:15 into this video.
I have used these before, they used them at Assholes Incorporated where I used to work to weld the tips of Thermocouple wire sets together.
Platinum wire and Platinum and Rhodium wire, welded together at the tips to make custom length Thermocouples.
Expensive stuff that Platinum, a couple years ago it was $1500 an ounce.
Anyway, these little sets can be super handy for brazing carbide tips onto cutter tools, gas welding sheet metal, Silver Soldering, pin point heating of small parts and of course, jewelry making if you are into that.
For $25 and change with tax I already have one coming.
You can buy them cheap to use with MAPP gas and small Oxygen bottle sets too.

Amazon has the whole kit on sale for $58 plus tax.
I had no idea these kits could be had for so cheap.
I have heard that you may run into problems with the fittings so Buyer Beware, you may have to cut them off, buy different fittings and crimp them on but for twenty five bucks I’m rolling the dice.
I bought a little Acetylene cutting torch set off of my Dad before he died for $150 and I’m hoping these will fit that.
If not, I also have that small set up above for $58 that I bought from Sears a couple decades ago so I do have the small MAPP and Oxygen bottles around here somewhere too.
It is just a Brazing kit that works good but Acetylene gets a Hell of a lot hotter than MAPP gas and I can see this little Jewelers set being real damn handy for certain things.
You know me, the TOOL JUNKIE FROM HELL, it came naturally and I figure there are a whole bunch of you out there just like me when it comes to tools so I thought I would pass this deal on.

The Wifely Unit gets upset with me every weekend because she thinks I get up too early and make too much noise.
I try to be somewhat quiet but the bedroom shares a wall with the kitchen and she has the bed crammed right up against that wall so even Nuking a cup of coffee sounds like the microwave is right behind your head.
Which it is, basically.
She can’t seem to understand that when a guy gets up at 5 in the morning all week that getting up at 6 IS sleeping in.
Sorry dear but my bladder over rides your peaceful slumber every time.
I wake up because I gotta piss and once I’m vertical it’s a done deal.
Of course The Murder Princess is up and whining the minute my feet hit the floor so I gotta feed that critter as soon as I can get back to the kitchen after I get out of the bathroom.
You could set a nuclear clock by that cat’s stomach and I’m not joking, it’s unnatural.
I swear she lays awake waiting for my breathing rythmn to change so she can start sniveling.
After that I usually make a new pot of coffee and then I grab my coffee and smokes and head out the front door.
It’s been cold enough to freeze in the mornings lately so there ain’t no dilly dallying around with that.
Done and into the recliner to start catching up on everything.
At that point, if she got woke up, she usually either goes back to sleep or else lays in bed watching who knows what on her little Tablet thingy.
Either way, she doesn’t get up and start moving until 9.
That gives me about 2, maybe 2 1/2 hours of peace and quiet.
I can’t articulate how much I enjoy that little bit of peace.
The entire world can fuck straight off for just that little while.
