lisening to warnings

let me start by saying it's fucking cold....
so cold  i don't want to go for smokes.... i might really quit, pigs might fly.

One long and cold walk down to the store to grab smokes, it rung out clear as a bell. The warning i got from Jared (i think that was his name, i think i made a subway joke or tweelve), 'she'll drop you like a bag of bricks, and you'll look like a bag of bricks hit ya, i sugest to braek it off with her' I didn't trust the guy. ofcourse he had spent a chuck of the night making threats at me so that dosn't improve my opion of anyone. good night otherwise.
A canoe instructer making drity jokes, my groups leader giving me the drity eye as he moved to watch his kid, trying to tell me to behave... same old same old

Friend from school was tring to convince me the trip over tha trust was importent and that i needed to trust someone.i had been drinking alot that year, and he didn't want to see any accedents happen on the fairy trip.which means i was stoned befor i even got to camp and numb to the world. i snaped out of it ran booted out of there.

I was smokeing a joint and about to leave for a bar, she scares the shit out of me and asks if that really where i want to go.

done for now

Sometimes i think it's a sin when i feel like i'm winning when i'm losing again

so gordon lightfoot one of my favorite writers.

I tell lies. alot i'm good at it. I'm tried of it. I won't come clean to all but to those it maters it's always on their face they knew the whole time.

I see it as a game. Me against the truth. the more i strech it  the more points for me. the more i get others to believe the better. If i show i beleive what i say it dosn't matter if it's truth they know i beleive it is which puts doubt in their heads as to what i say. constant keeping to the same lies has made most beleive me, those who think i'm lieing wonder as to what i'm lieing about when befor they were sure.

Somepeople dig their own grave. I think i've dug hole the size of a lake by now and filled it my lies. I dream that i'm at the bottom of the lake trying to swim through my lies to the surface. the moon shinny down my only light. With it i fight to the top every night. But when i reach the top the sun beats fericly down and i swim scared back to the bottom. it's to cold at the bottom to stay and i see things if i sit there to long so i swim back to the surface. it's always a longer trip up then down.

a plan that back fires part 1

Materials:
Myself

Hockey Chick (what can i say she did play a mean game of it, Rugby too)

3 months of time

High School Rumour mill

At work right now the area of the parking lot where people smoke is blocked in by snow, you can only get in though the store. Myself and some guys from work were talking one day about different ways of braking up with a girl. Apparently mine was the worst and because i have time and nothing better to do I'm going to give the longer version, not the full mind you, i don't know it....

So I had just started a new school, (no real surprise for a while it was a different school every month....) and this time it's a bum start. I'm 2 grades behind my age, so they are hitting graduation year and I'm stuck in ten. Friends? the foreign exchange student and Runt...

Runt introduced me to his friends and then kindly asked me to go away.... So i spent the day smoking at the school's pit... end of the day rolls around I sat outside by Runt and his friends seen as we were waiting for the same bus home and read off to the side. Runt's Friends grow to larger group till i get absorbed and am sitting beside a cute brown haired girl very talkative. Had a set of Boobs that screamed over developed...

After awhile me and her became almost attached. It was weird, the girl sliped her hand in mind after acouple of weeks and tells me we are a couple. not many trust me with that kinda thing, left to myself all put off asking a girl for years. i'd put this off 2 months so she made my mind for me...

She was stright forward, to the point and honest, in her own way. had to find out the hard way how old she was.

Febuwary comes around and that's when i'm asked to the office at school. Frist yelling, second silence, third me asking why the yelling? The princpal explains that it would be wrong for a 50 year old to date a 20 year old. I ask how that applies to what. fillanly realiseing i have no clue at what he's talking about he pulls out my file and pulls out Her file. opens them both to the frist page and blocks everything on hers but name and date.

I was born in 1986, She was born in 1992 (if i rember correctly). Apearently the school frowns on this.

The princpal tells me under the sercumstances me and him should have a (and i qoute cuase this i remeber well) 'Man-to-Man talk about the birds and the bees' which really ment me spending an hour convinveing him i would do anything till she was ready (always been my opoin, let them make the frist move, i'm lazy). Had to explain a million things to him about myself, but what finnally convinced him i think is when i told him about scouts. odd that, considering what went on at the camps i went to, he should have been worried.

So i'm unsure what i should do by the end of this all. I'm way to old for her at that time (it being highschool 6 years is huge) was my frist thought, How mature she was my second, wondering what the crap i should do.
 
and that seems like a good point to end the frist bit of this, i started this back in febuary but just still can't the end out right but this nags at me. so i'm puting the frist half

ODST Check.

So after about a month of crawling around New Mombasa's streets.

Runt has Acquired a more powerful machine and given me the old heap of a computer to try and use.

Brutes Everywhere. tend to wander in packs. about 4 to 6 in a pack, but don't get pined in a intersection. that's when they tend to come from all directions, 3 packs of brutes... about 15 in total. some jackals and grunts but one shot from my pistol they go down, brutes can go down in one shot, but you'll need a rocket launcher, fuel rod gun, Spartan laser or a sniper rifle (i think that's all that can, sniper needs a perfect shot to do this) Or if your brave or stupid you can do what i do, run straight at them tossing grenades. 3 frags, one to the left, to the right and behind them, this puts the Brutes closer together. Sticky grenade the Brutes on the edges driving all the brutes closer together. Repeat this with your Spike grenades. Done right you'll be down to about 2 Brutes, Done Better you'll take them all out, Done like me you'll leave 10 of them still alive but in a very small area. Then my friends it's incendiary grenades. Now that's all the grenades it lets you have. the standard weapons to carry are a Pistol and either an assault rifle or a machine gun. Now the brutes are gone. and every thing is a little to quite. That would be to the Hunters comeing up fast behind you. Walking tanks with a green beam of death. They travel in pairs...

Work is feeling more tight. stareing at the keyboard trying to add to that.....

Reading Death Gate Cycle again, i think this makes 6th or 7th time reading them. as normal i wonder if it was the wave correcting itself or if that was the start of a bulge.
And i wonder if my difficults with speech might come from the fact that i never read anything set in the current era.

Really uncomforable moment at work a while back. Freind from highschool came in looking for me in a panic, with her 3 year old red head daughter.... Not mine >.<>.<>.< took a damn week to strighten that mess out. and is about all i can say befor i expoled....


So i'm going to watch an Austrain soap star trun one hit wonder (in north america) and other strage video's i can find

Beware the Internsection....

Friday, September 25, 2009

and then the computer died....

So i borrow a computer from Runt. it's his but i use it when i need one, not often. It died horrible in a blaze of Windows glory.

It's been to weeks and hw talked to his freind the necromancer. Various odd rituals were performed and Bam it is working again. but now that it works i'm not on becuase on tuesday ODST was released.

I'm slowly beating the whole game on the hardest difficulty. I say slowly but mean at a snails pace. i'll proboly post again after i have finsished.

c ya


Edit: Considering it's 5 min later.... i might as well add some random things i've noticed in the last couple of weeks.
I don't lisen to 'scouting songs' anymore. By scouting songs i mean more then songs sung at the fire, I mean all sorts of music that i wouldn't ever hear anywhere eles. Arrogant Worms and Great big sea mostly but Moxy Furios (i hate spelling) and Crash test dummies. Out of those 4 Bands I have 1 CD from Crash test dummies. It's a greatest hits which i lisen to 2 of 12 songs....
so i'm making a note to find some. Maybe that will fill some gaps. Ofcourse that's wishful thinking. It's not knowing why and how some of these things i remeber happened, that is going to drive me crazy. >.< and now i'm censoring myself, I really don't think i know how to be truthful. I aways tell bits and peices. it's part of what's lead to my memory proplems i think.
I watched Greg jump and start running, he was trying to slug me, around 6 years old at the time. Me and Greg were thick as theives our sisters the same way. I learned that day it was possable to do just about anything that needed to happen. some things need to happen for the future to turn out. if things are going astray something ussally corrects this. My understanding was that a human, in truth, had no future. short time on the rock unless you get kicked off early.

Specking of kicked off early we now interupte this random posting with a 1 week ODST marothon.

Writen at 4 am, Posted at 4 pm...

I'm haveing trouble finding music to lisen to. After hear a song enough i think what it means to me.

Walked around my good intentions
And found out there were none
I blame my father for the wasted years We hardly talked
Never thought I would forget this hate
And a phone call made me realize I'm wrong


Little be side it's 4 am and i can't sleep. I've grown to hate my family for the most part. but i wonder weather it's me or them. Am i to blame for the gap that is growing. I like to blame them. But i know better i know it's me.

Walked around my room not thinking
Sinking in this box
Blame myself for being too much like Somebody else
I never thought I would just bend this way
Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong

When i'm in a crowd i blend in, I tend to lie and make myself sound as simular to those around me. After awhile being those people i can shunt it of and adopt a different persona, Calling up the old one if i run into those people again with just the name I use at the time. I don't think i really have any personalltiy myself except as a smart ass.

And if I don't make it known that
I loved you all along
Just like sunny days that
We ignored because
We're both dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out

So i took off teh song 4 am by Our Lady Peace off my Mp3 player. To many thing are being remebered when i hear it. I wish i could forget. There was a time i used to Teir my memory to songs, certain kinds of songs i would use for different memories. Now i listen to the radio worried I'll start to break down.


I need sleep >.<

More sorting

Always sorting piles of crap...



I can't seem to toss it out. It's not really crap. But becuase i don't under stand it, it's usless to me.

I was given a dream catcher after my sister passed. never has worked, but i'm not really that suprised seen as i don't believe in it.

An odd Pyrmid, couple inches high. People built the Pyrmids so they wouldn't be forgoten. Funny how that works....

A Charm bag to help bring good luck. that's Hit or miss.

A neckless with a Vikking dragon, One of a Bird, and a Horse
The Dragon to help with chalenges, the Bird was from a girl wanting me to open up to her, and the Horse from someone who always thought i was good at carring on.

And the Band played on, As the Helicopters Whirled

Drunk on the lawn in a nuclear dawn, My sence is finally blurred.

So just about everyday now is becoming more say one thing think another. But i've noticed there is no around the lieing of the world. Of course I'm a born lier so I thought i would be happy. I can't remember even having to learn. I've learned some tricks to it, but it's always come easy.
I stole a guy's wallet the other day. Stole money from it and returned it to him. Not a second thought. the guy never suspected. Didn't notice it was gone till i pop up with it.
Shouldn't there be something in me that tells me when I'm doing the wrong thing?
I wanna quit my job still. Can't think of anything else i would rather do. Bored of retail. no such thing as a professional camper.... Need Driver's card for any forestry jobs (camp site or ranger, i hate chopping trees), I think cars are even more dangerous and harmful to the enviroment. And ofcourse my inabilty to clearly transfer thought to print makes that job out. Selling a couple of pictures dosn't count me as an artist (althrough i'm told the sandwich i took as payment dose...) Has no useful talents for today's today. Except Lieing...
I think i know Honest people. less then a handful, but honest. A couple are better freinds then i deserve. It's weird talking with someone who is honest.
Was reading a book (shocker indeed....) the other day and the arthor was explaining how english is falling apart. we may not notice but each generation is working on a shorter and shorter vocabulary. Yes 'new' words are made, by shoveing together words, but we lose more words in a year then are made in a centery, apparently. I'm thinking of reading a dictionary and seeing if that helps organiseing the mess. So many things i just don't know the words to explain. Mess sounds like the right word but it's not. On a side note, I've stopped dreaming. on the 17th, no reason just nothing.

It's the end of the world as i know it, I don't feel fine....

Bloody Rem....


So work has been going well. While i was on Vacation they heird 2 new guys and fired 1 other guy.
One of the new guys is weirder then me. Watching him reminds me of a Swordfish.

But ofcourse Swordfish is a Horrible thing for me to think about. There really isn't a place for him anymore.

Leonard Bernstein

I really just don't understand, I really books all the time to learn about people. Maybe learn better more normal behavoir. But the Proplem being is that the charecters in the books Know what they want out of life. Be a Knight, Save the day, Find some random murder. I don't really have any clue what i want. Well i know one thing, but that's a whole different pile of mental issues....


This is the end *music fades to black*

Saturday 13th
My Buddy's Brithday. Hung out with Him and Freind playing Halo3 and showing those 2 how to use forge.
then it was off to Bowling. Bowling was uncomfortable. I don't do well in crowds, or with strangers. The people i did know weren't people i liked when i lived down there. the one from Ladner was there too.... I think it's mostly becuase of her i left early. My fault really. I tend to flirt with her, and from the other night i gussed it was un-welcome. So when i hear Bowling is done and everyone was going to the Bar, i bailed. Said Good Bye to my Buddy and booked it out the door, befor the one from ladner, saw me. Spent the entire trip back to Grandmothers calling myself a spineless worm.... but i'm not getting in to that lol

Sunday the 14th
Last day of the Convention, curse the vendor room for deals and said good bye to those i met.
hung out with Ex from Newwest after... or more to the truth watched her moon over guys from twlight on the internet instead of put the bloody DVD in the player.....

Close enough to 11....

So tuesday we get told we shall be haveing a sale wensday... advance copy of the flyer still dosn't have pictures just prices...
Frist day of Sale... understaffed, One boss on till me working the floor and the big boss having to help. Meanwhile no help coming from the far end, They're to busy taking compaints aboot the Fishing Licences. Dam Walmart....

No i'm not working at Walmart but becuase they are bigger and cryied more they get to hand out the old Paper Licences for fishing... Bastards (note to self get warning message...)
Just came up with a plan :-D it will get me arested, yaa plan.

Can't seem to focus well....
Might be the pot
Right, that would do it....


The other day i'm up in the tree in my front yard. tieing branches and tempory braces to it. It's a Big tree, aboot 25 meters to the top (75 feet?). Healthy and still growing. Neibour comes out picks up a stick i had tossed down, Asks me 'when you taking it down?' Pointing with the stick.
I'm a little dumb founded by this. the tree's Heathy. 'We're not'
'O so your having profesanal do it?'
I Really wish my fence went around the yard... I tell Him we're not taking it down.
the Bugger spends 5 min explaining why it would be best.
I'm almost 7 meters high smoking, doing my best to land ash on his head. After he's done i Kindly explain i would like him off my proporty. When he seemed slugish i whisled For Ollie. My Dog.

Ollie isn't big but he was bread for hunting (soposaly)

now the fence is between ollie and the base off the tree,Ollie is no where near the guy. Ollie is looking for me and barking into the tree. I've done this befor to door to door salesmen, They tend to run off befor they realize Ollie can't get them...

About the time i Climbed down. Neibour Bugger called a cop and said i let a dog loose on him.
Cop comes over, asks me what happened. I explain. Whisle Ollie over. and show The offcier why the idea of Ollie leaveing teeth marks is rediculous. Ollie's lower Jaw is about a thrid to a half the size as most dogs his Breed. meaning I let him use my hand as a chew toy, no worries.
Officer puts down his pen and flips back in his note book. and reads me the discribtion for my dog gotten from the neigbour.
Bloody Neigbour couldn't spot Ollie as a Poodle. And Discribed a Bob cat >.<

Unforantly a have many stoires of upseting neigbours, less then you think invole cops :-D
The ones with Cop's are just funnyier.

DUCKS!

my store has gone 'Ducky' for a sale.... tune in at 11 pm for more...

Tin man

So I made a new display at my work.... Had to take it down, Might fall over and set off the alarm at night.

Materials:
24 inch Air tight wood heater ( around $120) (all funds Canadian, you come to my store with Stater money, I get to charge at par, IE your one buck, is only a buck or less never more)
8- 18 inch stove pipe 4- 5inch diameter ($6) 4- 6 inch diameter ($7) (could make the whole thing from army stove pipes easier to work with but more money $8)
2 elbows 5 inch diameter (i always forget the elbows....)
2 elbows 6 inch diameter
6 inch by 6inch post about 3 feet long with a long broom handle sticking out the middle
6 inch to 5 inch pipe reducer
Spinning weather cap

Working our way bottom to top.
The 2 -6 inch elbows become your feet, but because of their curve won't sit flat. hammer the non-wrinkled end (you will know what I'm talking about....) so it has a bit of a shoe appearance, flat bottom closed toe. Cut spaces for the feet on either side of the broom handle, just for the heel and ankle. Put your feet in place and do any fine tweaking needed so the feet are level with the floor.
Legs are easy, take 2 sections of the 6 inch pipe connect them to the foot, you should end up with the Wrinkled end up. Repeat for other leg.
The Airtight heater is used on it's side. It's shaped like an oval so you will want the bigger end down. hold it above your legs and get a Friend trace where the legs would meet. Cut the wholes Little smaller then marked.
Take A section of 5 inch pipe and cut it about 4 inches long. That's your neck. I think you can figure out where to cut the whole. yet again a littler smaller then you mark.
Both the arms are 5 inch pipe so might as well mark where you want them also.
Now shove the air tight heater on to the legs, I warn you now your ears will hurt. Then open the top of the air tight heater (the belly) and use tin snips to cut the piping then bend it down to hold the heater down. the pipe won't let it slip farther down, and it shouldn't be able to tumble off. Repeat for arms and neck.
Now arms are hard. you should have about 2 sections of 5 inch pipe (use remains of neck) and 1 5 inch elbow for each arm. where you put the elbow really is the hardest part.... It looks funny too high, funny to low, and right in the middle just looks off... so Ill leave that to you folks...
Atop the Neck put the reducer 5 inch end down, 6 inch end up with the weather cap on top.

If i didn't think cameras steal souls i would take a picture and it would make sense. but directions with out pictures kinda suck....

New Game....

So on March 3 A new game came out called Halo wars.... got it on the 4th, beat it on the 6th....

unlike the other halo games this one is more command and conquer style game play, uber dumb down controls so it'll work on a 360. it has 5 different AI settings easy, normal, heroic, legendary, and Automatic (depends on how you do it gets harder or essayer)

well that's all there is to say...

Concerts

I think i would have to think of concerts as one of my great weaknesses It cost money to start and save for a some it's usually a pretty penny I'm paying....

Then there are the people... I hate people, i believe a person can be smart but people can't. the more people in a group the less capable of rational thought (that's right I'm accusing them of being incapable of it, you might say that's the pot-head calling the kettle black, but I brunt the kettle so there...)

I got tickets to a Neil Young concert that is happening soon near me. the cheap tickets are aboot $60 and I'm pretty dam broke.... Dam broke and making myself sit in a room full of people for a long time while getting as drunk as i can..... I wonder considering it's a Neil Young concert can i get a way with smoking the funny leaf....

The Runt is coming along to keep me company. And of course, no offence intended towards Mr. Young but he ain't young anymore. (happens to be listening to old man....)

By the time the concert come I'll have lisened to Neil young so much I'll be bored there... I did the same for the Mark knoffler (bloody hell with the spelling, He was the singer from dire Straights) but the guy behind me offered some entertainment.... concert before that i ended up standing the entire time.... I hate standing. yes I'm that lazy. a lie i started a long time ago that i can't give up *smirk* and now i think I'm done rambling on...

Growing up cleaning....

my room is a mess, always has been always will be....
more then anything I'm just getting rid of things I'll never use again, I'm getting a Internet line to my room so I'm moving my x-box 360 there where my X-box is now.... (X-box works great $50+shipping and handing and it's yours) Or drag it to a pawn shop....
Old books... i hate tossing books, but most of them no one would take... Going to try and get some cerdiet at the used book store but then i have to find books there.... (bad abc....) I'm hoping the public library will take most off my hands. I found an entire box i hadn't read, all part of series and none with the first...
Camping gear, I haven't gone camping in years... so I'm keeping everything, from my 45 liter bag to my 80 liter one. Broken folding shovel to the stove my ex gave me. really should see if that works never got around to trying it the propane bottle was needed for other projects. Shady Brother borrowed it and a sleeping bag from me awhile back. He couldn't mange to get the tent in it's bag so he put it in the sleeping bags bag, leaving the sleeping bag in the truck box.... The bag looked fine, he had it dry cleaned. When i asked if he aired out the tent he stared blankly as if i had asked a trick question. I hate the shady one....
I'm trying to pawn my old clothes on the Runt, but he isn't around hard to pawn on him that way *sigh*
Tossed out Three Hundred and Sixty- two Kinder surprise toys, Kept Ten......
Tossed out a lot of failed projects. some required the universe to bend a bit on it's laws and conservation of mass (i know conservation of mass is a lie, but I'll not get into that)
I could have sworn i had more weapons buried in my room then I'm finding. of course those too are going to pawn :( no more toys....
Enough twine to wrap the world a few times over.... Duct tape of more shades then the eye can see....
3 Boxes of earl grey tea.....
And that leads me into my star trek crap... Enterprise-D toy with weapons and engine sounds, Tricorded with 3 different beeping sounds, and A Transporter, One way mirror and a light bulb... I don't know how many 'action figures' i have left, i used to play hide and go seek with them hehehe so I've lost a few. Yet again the runt can't be found to help me with getting this junk on e-bay....
Trading cards... trash, Next!
failed story attempts from age ten till seven-teen, Trash
Found $20 cash, Found $50 on an out dated check.....
Tossed out all my yarn.... Don't question....
What Remains of my Book collection is still to big for my book case so i cant get My DVDs Cd's and X-box games on a shelve.

I think I'll be done in June... about the time the snow leaves us....

15-20 cm of snow tonight, i think that's about 6-8 inches, now that's now a lot really, but I've already taken off four inches abouts, and it's only 8 ish....

Edit- Laterish, I spotted missing lines.... i forget what i type so i filled in as best i could....

Fire Sale!

South but not far South, There was a little tire shop, which a bus crashed into....
Looked Pretty on the news, nice fire...

My Boss bought the remains....

3 Small Fire Extinguisher, 2 Shop vacs, 2 big fire extinguishers, and a hell of a lot of oil filters

While bored at work I'm thinking of re-enacting that seen in Wallie in space....

On Friday the tires will be coming in, 76...
and I'm the only stock boy on, if i can get fired Thursday....

I wandered around the down town during my 30 min lunch, I was supposed do something but i can't remember, Hopefully I'll remember tomorrow...

Holiday spirit

apparently i don't have the holiday spirit....

This confuses me because there is no holiday in sight....

I burned 2 letters i got the other day. One was from a Guy i used to know. he sends me one every year and i did take the time to read that one.
The other was from a creepy ex.... So i sent her this song in an e-mail as respones
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2lfD2XpnvM

My Boss was the one who thinks i have no holiday spirit. Crazy adults >.<

breaking the ice...

so i had a busy day today, first off was changing light bulbs. The emergency exit signs in the store happen to die... a long time ago. it finally got sighted last year, so I'm fixing it today, about a month before they come check the fire extinguishers. 2 are no problem standard bulbs for an emergency exit. But the one right at the front door is older. I did a little research and learned no one has made that kind of bulb since the 50's....

Then the normal lights. Easy as pie when i can remember fix of the fixtures is broken and which tricks to work on each. I remembered all the tricks to get the touchy one's going. I keep forgetting the 2 broken fixtures down in camping...

After lunch I'm told to grab my coat and head with the boss. Mystery trip! good for about 30 min of non-customer work. Get told to grab a flat bladed metal shovel. On the way out i called back to the cashier "Off to take care of the bodies" nice thing about this time of year, not many customers....

Nice hour worth of ice chipping.... 5 inches... solid. it's plus 4 C and there is no thawing the blasted ice...

*steps on soap box*
Other news, I watched the most Canadian movie i have ever seen. it would have been awesome if even one character in the film was Canadian.... Every single Canadian Actor/Actress was playing the role of a Stater... even while in the story they go to Canada the only lines by a Canadian character were the hot dog vendor.... one of the few parts in the film played by a Stater...
*Jumps down and dashes away*

Satus update...

alive functioning and normal.....

Bored out of my skull.

Computer solitaire is very addicting. anyone can tell ya that. now toss in Spider Solitaire.

I think i got 4 suits beat. Unfortunately about all the game has in common with solitaire as count, rules are more of a stumble along and figure them out....

I've been working on blue prints. I'm not sure what it is but it looks like it's going to hurt.... I hate it when i built stuff i don't know what it is. *sounding crazy*

So the snow is melting sort of, I'm told it's going to snow tomorrow, but if it dose before next week I'll eat my toque.
The poor Coyotes who dug a Den out of the snow the plows leave had a bit of a shock today. they widened the roads and piled snow to cover the hole. I watched it as i waited for the bus, I wasn't sure if they were in there at first. Look around to see who's walking about.
nosy neighbour and their dog.... I didn't warn them.
It was prefect i wish i could say i had a hand in it....
Their Dog likes to think he's tough, he is the biggest dog on the block. He's sniffing around dragging his owners. Can't quite figure out the smell. As he reached the 'hole' a paw choose to spring out and popped him on nose. Dog starts the other way so suddenly the owners looks just in time to see a Coyote burst out.
They ran screaming wolf..... Coyote and I just laughed as they went.

I bet the Coyote must of been pretty proud to be called a wolf....

In other News on a completely different topic, A New rule has been laid in the house...
'No coyotes as pets.....'

A waste of time plan

Materials:
Big piece of paper
rulers
pencils
Protractors
Compasses
and just about any other thing you use to help draw diagrams.
A big table helps


So while I'm at work today, I happen to notice a golden window of slacking off. Due to lunches and where the staff were positioned in the store left me unsupervised. For 4 hours.... Of course I had this figured out befor 9:30am, spent then till 11:30am (window of slack opens) figuring out that there was nothing worth doing that I hadn't pulled off befor... Depressing to say the least. I was doing my job while thinking, despite what some think i can walk and chew gum.... January sucks for retail..... Not even a customer to distract ya from boredom.... and then it's Country music because the boss is out of town.... *shudder*
Now I'm a fan of music in general. I'll give anything a shot, but old country.... really old country... Put on for the sole fact of I might not know it.... is a bur in the saddle
I came up with about 5 ways to knock out the music for half the store...

Right so you got your materials? darn well better.... Now use your thinking caps and think of something from out side the sandbox... and I don't mean the round-about... just try to approach a common thing differently... it can help if you have a bunch of odds and ends around to fiddle and work out the idea, I like to keep an etch-a-skecth, yo-yo and Lego when trying for new ideas.
Now draw the idea as simply as you can. don't worry about how to make it work, Streamline the idea so your ideas are there to work with.

Depending on how machinery inclined you are and your plan is you might need help for the next. Don't be Afraid to ask for help just make sure they know what they are talking aboot.

Now draw lines explaining how the parts will work short hand if you don't have to much room but write it out full and clearly somewhere to refer back to.
Redraw everything in fine detail now. everything, Draw it as if the cover was split to show internals, and do it to scale. Scale will help you so much in the long run. also remember different angles, also for inside as well.
So if you still with me it's time to write the materials. forget money and as to where you would find said object. Assume you can get it until you can't then build it yourself. And take a look at any old toys you have around they are great for computer chips and motors now a days. (I made a voice reconsign system out of a toy computer and a playschool tape recorder.... and I already wrote about the panda spider thing)

all done? beside making it, I mean. Now look at your plan and ask yourself, Will this get me in trouble? How much and from who? Remember plans can be stored and gotten rid of in case of emergency, quickly. Models and prototypes usually can't. So build a scale working model and test it works if you must, but as long as all they find is paper you can claim it's theory and you never tested it.
My Locker in high school was full of theory

I thinks that's all I got to say...

Yellow Shelfs

Materials:
Glass Truck
automated car wash


Why is it more people don't use automatic car washes? high pressure spray with soap! whatever your cleaning most of it can be strapped to the deck of a truck and sent in.... unless it's fabric or otherwise water intolerant....

it's cleaning time at herby's all the shelfs... all of them......

glass trucks are nice becuase they have suport going up a bit, add of a few more suports and then load with shelfs.... about 20 shelfs to a side, mean 40 done in a few min...... ofcourse they won't let me do this, but it's a plan.....

Warm day...

Materials:
Tiger torch
propane


Simple enough.

Here's where i would like to use it. Yesterday it warmed up so the snow melted and it rained a bit... unfortunately the last third of my drive way is about 3-4 inches thick now that it's dropped below zero....

we did this in scouts. the leaders made a point of telling us not to do it this way. then told us they would be off at Timmy's for an hour.....

aim the torch at the cement and heat it up till the ice holding it melts. just remember safety equipment. it's faster then it sounds. Me and a friend had to do a square area about 30 by 50, took us about an hour....

*tab.... I keep hitting it and it never works......

In Honor of the date i give you a Bit

Please note i never really did this i just happen to know how to do it.


Materials:
WD-40 3 cans
1- 4foot 4inch round plastic plumbing
Bag of Yams (as close a fit to your plumbing)
Hot water bottle (old one works better because it has more flex)
4inch hose clamp
Drill, 1/8th bit
Bar-B-Que lighter
scissors
Broom handle

This is a quickie, take your hot water bottle and cut a circle big enough to cover one end of the pipe. take your scissors so your stabbing and make a small x in the center. Cover your pipe with the patch and secure in place using the hose clamp.
take a moment and test fit the BBQ lighter. you want a tight fit.
It might be essayer to use a drill press if you have access to one. Clamp your pipe in place and about 12 inches up from the rubber end drill 3 1/8th size holes spaced in a circle around the pipe and a slightly bigger one(maybe quarter inch) at around 6 inch from rubber end and another at 15 inches. the holes at 6 and 15 you will want to use more of your rubber to cover but leave then able to flap open.

i think thats every thing

Procedure:

Shove the yam down the open end useing the broom about half way to 20 inches from bottom then with the flaps open spray in the wd-40 into the 1/8 holes for awhile then close them and spray a little longer. Aim and pull the trigger

Design plans sorta...

I tend to come up with a lot of plans so i figure that might be best to start there and see how i get distracted....

Materials:
Robo-Panda
half a dozen mixed Meccano toys
20 or so small remote control cars (no range, its the motors you want)
Disposable camera
2 laser pointers
30 feet of chandelier wire
small USB port (got this from a MP3 player)
new software (thank you)
Small Strong Spring
fishing reel

OPTIONAL:
3 joints
booze, a lot of booze.....

So the winter solstice 07 I decide to start taking things apart. I had gotten the Panda as a gift at that year X-mas party for work. but didn't have much use for it and after a couple of drinks I found my tools and got to work. The body comes off easy from the panda. Attach the USB port and went for a joint.

Just about the dorky-est guys i know wrote the software for me once i had the thing built but they need pesky details like how many legs and what not to write it. I happened to be able to get my hands on just aboot anything, they couldn't get weed. so i did what i could to get them a dealer they wrote it and re wrote it till it worked right (about 3 weeks)

Strip the panda to just it's chips and rebuild out from there make sure to leave access to USB port... Design out legs and arms or other equipment as you wish. I made mine small as i could kinda spider-ish

Un-wind the chandelier wire (4 wires inside one cable positive negative ground and a twisted steel cable) twist out and take the cable strands and lay them out to the side. depends on number of limbs. Attach motors to operate limbs in a push-me pull-me set up to move. Nice part of Meccano is with all the screw holes mean plenty of places to tie off steal cable strands

I'm not explaining how to attach the camera, if you deserve it you'll know, if not HA!

Now for the spring is rigged to motor taken from the panda, and has a small arrow attached. the whole thing only weights about 2-3 pounds (mine at least) take 4 strands of the cable and braid them together in about a 20-30 foot leangh. attach a motor to the fishing reel. attach one end of cable to reel and one to arrow. If you can get secure enough arrow hit it can get about anywhere...

I'll tell you how it went boom another day ....

*11:25 pm I discovered that i can follow myself..... would that mean i'm going in circles?

I have a plan.....

Materials:
Rubber chew toy
Meat saw
Large thick wood table
Drill
4 pieces of rope 3 feet long
2 pieces of rope 12 feet long
Axe
Blind fold is optional

Now many of you might have guessed this plan and are wondering where I'm going with this. Trust me I has my reasons.....

It Snowed today, it snowed a lot..... At my job, I'm the guy who dose most of heavy lifting, carry outs (75 pound bags of potato.... I'm glad we are out of those). I'm not a fit person, but I'm the strongest at my job I think. So with it snowing I had to shovel. spent a good chunk of the day shoveling. 5 feet by 35 feet rectangle, leading from the door to the sidewalk. every ten to twenty min of shoveling the side walk i had to redo that spot due to it is our main entrance and it just won't be fit to leave a centimeter of snow there.... it snowed at that rate most of the day....

When I was around ten I broke my right arm. They set it at a hospital but a bully at school yanked it out of place so it healed slightly off straight, about a quarter of an inch. The idea of re-breaking my arm earned my doctor a very dark look. It doesn't bother me that much. The break is right by the shoulder joint, so I just bearly can't rotate my arm as much. Big deal. Tends to hurt after prolong use, I work on being both handed.

Well I'm still dominate right and with all this snow my arm hurt a lot. Proud to say I got the job done, not greatly but done. I'll have more tomorrow but hopefully it doesn't just keep snowing. But I came up with a plan...

Amputation.

strong enough swing and the no arm means no shoveling *wink* I'm not trying to get out of shoveling at work, i can take that, What's really starting to kill is the shoveling at home.......

there's been talk of shoveling the roof...

way too much thinking.....

I spend most my time reading. On the bus, on my breaks at work and then on the bus home. I try to get in as much reading as I can in a day. of course I'm also at the same time trying to listen to any music I can shove on my mp3. I'm thinking of getting a bigger mp3, but nothing out there is simple. to many buttons. Play/Pause, Stop/Off, Random, skip song, go back and one to set it to the kind played. That's 6. Nice and simple, no hassle. stupid buttons....

I went to replace my boom box a couple weeks ago, and every where you look they have the same slot, for an Ipod. *has no kick Steve jobs button* I don't do Mac. I'm not that much of computer person, but i don't like mac... call it instinct...

*dramatic Pause*

Where to start....

I'm going to start listing things at the bottom of my entrees with things that are troubling, here is an example

*can't tab

Now this may not seem like much of a problem but it's annoying... Not that I use them correctly. Oddly that wasn't meant to be first, so now for the regular boring thoughts....


Beginnings are hard, long winded and boring. They take forever to get through but if you skip them it's hard to know what's going on. Of course if you do take the time to read them, they don't really tell you much sense. all threads come together in the end. I'll try to make sense...


I was born in the summer, moved around a lot. settled in one place for awhile, and as i got comfy moved to where i am now. not comfy...

I think of myself as rude, impulsive, forgetful, clumsy, lazy, pessimistic, imaginative, short(even at 6 foot), pick and choose ethics, messy, literate but not well read, drug-user, red haired, funny looking, lieing, smart ass....

I do have a consences, in fact i got 3. Used to be 4 but one moved out.... but being told 2 things are the right thing to do when i'm thinking of a third..... i'm glad the 4th gone.... but i miss that one also....

I have much interest in music, books, comics, movies, manga, Out doors, puzzles and boardgames.
I fear silence and bordom.... *can't figure out how to add music.....

and now i've been thinking far to much and will be going....


*edit* just hit post and it starts snowing..... grrrrr

Return....

So I'm back.....

10 min cracking my old account, and a friends account, then my old e-mail.....

I miss Journal space *offers own heart to site*

But i will admit it's a lot easier to delete and start fresh here....

I deleted about 272 old post dating from youngin Mikey to older youngin Mikey.....

of course i did read most of it first..... some tricks i forgot i pulled

I'll be expanding on this later

later....

No one i used to know on here is still around
of course that was 5 years ago..... and i kinda convinced some to follow me to the other....

But I'm back now for better worse......

Can't Figure out a bloody thing in this new stuff.... stupid technogy.....
