What don’t you see?

Sure is a lot of crap in here

The guy removed the closet doors and put in 5 tiers of shelving divided into cubbies

There must be 200 of those 2" thick programming manuals, WTF?

Boxes of computer wiring

Boxes of PCI cards

Empty beer cans, whiskey bottles

Nuts n bolts n screws n soldering shit

Make a 90 degree turn

8 foot shelf with desktops and servers and network hubs twinkling

Nother 90 degree turn

More shelving with potted plants and seed starts

Nother turn

The wall is a stack of 15 different guitar amps, stereo amp and speakers and 2 turn tables and an old reel to reel

What in blazes

Hit inspiration,By the Duh

It wasn't "BAM"

More like SQUISH

But

In 1963 I was starting a business modifying automatic transmissions for

Drag racing

The problem

————————-

There is a feature built into the control assemble

which protects the engine from over revving, by up-shifting to the next gear

This was something I was trying to override

Inspiration

———————–

One day after work at my daytime job I walked into the managers office

There on his desk was a joint

I'd never tried this herb before

But

Crazy me says what the hey…….

Took a couple of puffs

Joined the people living in a haze

And

Started my 70 mile commute home

Driving in a marijuana fog, not knowing all else

For some odd reason

I came up with the solution

Even much more odd

I remembered it all

And

Was able to transcribe it when I arrived home

BuDoink

And

Never smoked and drove again

Unwinding a 400 day clock

I built an extension onto the little green house

A dark 8×9 not so warm cave

In musicians parlance[my wood shed]

I can play as long and or loud as I wish

I don't necessarily unwind

But

I don't have to ask

And

I don't have to apologize

Brains or Beauty?

Sex or Suzuki

Yeh, but

What is beauty?

What is intelligence?

Every decade redefines both

Some people think of Einstein as being super intelligent

However

They don’t know what he is lauded for nor have any understanding of his accomplishments

Some people read poetry and assign inner beauty to the poet

Is He/She?

Physical beauty and true intelligence don’t necessarily have to be mutually exclusive

We assign “brainy”, to the some of the biggest fools

We assign “beauty” to some of the worst personalities

Never been good lookin

Never been overly intelligent

Never been able to change either

You is or you isn’t

Don’t you have some yard work to do?

A Book I'd Be

Might as well be the dictionary

I have a personality flaw…

Thus……

By the time I've finished a book

I've brought forth a dislike for every one in it

Go figure…

Sociopath?

On second thought…

Seems I've already done it

Mr slow thinker

This is by no means a whine

My life has been a road trip

By the time I was 15, I’d lived in 11 or 12 houses/hotels/apartment/other

6 years in the navy destroyers/sea going tugs/destroyer tender/hospital ship

The ensuing years, had 51 jobs, fired 45 times{never knew when to shut my mouth}

2 years on the road rodeoin{not good at it, but what else did I know that was good for bucks}

8 years on the road racing in 36 of the 50, Cancun Mexico, Thunder Bay Ontario

The rest of the time {mechanicing/welder fitter/farm labor/Software engineer} Spent where they paid the most.

Wives don’t like them sort of shenanigans, tend to find another life, another partner

Just for fun and mental health, put 145k on a 1975 750 Honda

Never thought of it before

But

My life has been a road trip
