Accelerating, Shifting, and Finding a Proper Idle

...........please stand by as we attempt to establish smoother runnings........





Cough, sputter.


Grab a handfull, then "VROOOOM!!" - bounce it hard off the limiter yet again. Really shouldn't do that too many more times.........


 Nothing snapped, no smoke or new rattles, so back to the fine adjustment of those most fiddly of bits in hopes of someday becoming, well, reliable is a start, and then dare I dream of upgrades and higher-performance in my future with this machine?

 What about with that one over there?

Dunno. Can't say, so I'll just focus on this very next task - the only task there ever is, really. The very most important one it always IS.

There it is again, in the midst of a salad I made. Funny how these things work, innit? Inside job again as usual with the derail and the bad connections that lead to the meltdowns. Sneaky Devil(s).........

I think this word break has been helpful. Thanks for sharing the minute or so it might take one to read and ponder these words, should any arrive and do so (wink). Much Love to All and y'all! 

A guitar beckons in this instant, so another machine to interface with becomes the perfect expression of THIS IS. It's a beauty, too.......so much astounding beauty everywhere I turn. Thank you for this. I am truly humbled by these gifts I am continually showered with. My intention is to honor all of them properly.

Nothing but gratitude for all of it is the best I can do. That, and trying to push the envelope just a bit further in every breath and striving for the smoothest of idles.

    Back to your roots I see.
    A little potting shed, the woods close at hand, a sweet guitar and the wind in your face.
    You are the richest man on Earth.
    Deservedly so.

      Thank you for your kind words Nina. The MC serves as a wonderful metaphor in this case - it has not seen an internal fire or moved under its own power in 11 years, much like my own self it seems. As with the bike, my own "vehicle" has been mostly in stasis, awaiting the right moment to emerge from its rest to hopefully once again move freely and smoothly down whatever path is chosen.

      There was a point in time friday where it was made clear that the time has arrived to make some changes to the program around here. Maybe it was the eclipse, or solstice arriving, or even the tequila, but certainly a wake-up call has been issued.

      Lovely to se your words here. Much gratitude and Love to you as always Nina.

Fuck You, Mr Kerry

Take all of your lying, scheming, insane friends and GET THE FUCK OFF MY PLANET! All of the sold-out, soulless ghouls salivating for another illegal. immoral, criminal "humanitarian war" can go straight to hell where you can spend eternity buggering each other. If I have to hear about "moral high ground" as we prepare to kill untold innocent civilians (AGAIN!!!) one more time, I may be forced to vomit. WE provided Saddam Hussein with chemical weapons and gave him the support he needed to effectively use them during the Iran-Iraq war. There is NO PLACE for anyone in our power structure to be standing anywhere NEAR what is termed "moral high ground". How stupid do these ass-clowns think we are? The drums I saw in a report, alleged to be chemical components used as weapons, were marked with "Cargill" tags for fuck's sake!!! Moral high ground.......what a fucking sad joke. Seriously, this shit has got to end, and at this point if our ...

Driven to Tears

“How can you say you’re not responsible?’ There is no Christmas celebration here in the Z household this year. No cause for joy, beyond the love that sits in our hearts, trying to spread out and cover the reality that is right outside the door. How can one sit in comfort, safe from the violent predation that is seemingly creeping into every corner of our planet, and ignore the fact that – even if you didn’t ask for it or support it – innocent people are being killed to “defend the American way of life”? I said innocent, and there is no arguing that fact, no matter how you try and twist it to arrive at justification. “What does it have to do with me?” I can’t say what has changed, what has shifted internally, but the mask has been ripped off and I find myself sitting here alternating between despondency and rage over what is being perpetrated in my name, supported by my labor via taxation, and held up as a right and just action to defend us from the evil terro...

Stripped, Whipped, and Ready To Be Clipped

Let me just start out by saying one thing here. The world we appear to be inhabiting is, by all accounts, totally fucked from one end to the other and from top to bottom. 6+ billion fragmented little entities all scurrying around hiding from debt collectors, death squads, their own transgressions and lies, the resulting fallout from other's lies, their inner self and each other. Prodded by some unknown and invisible stick, we feel a pressure building and this is coming out in all kinds of different ways. Wars are waged based on lies. Laws are passed in a vain attempt to keep the lid on the little guys, so that when something pops up that might create the momentum for change it gets stamped out and minimized. I'll bet lots and lots of drugs and alcohol are being consumed and many other things that I don't care to mention or even think about. And fear shows up with its good buddy anger in tow, looking for an opportunity to latch on and create a mess somewhere. There is a void...
