@LindaMarie you are welcome to chime in anytime.  I am not a trained mechanic.  I am not a trained boat repairwoman.  And I’m not a trained cabinet maker.  But I do all that and more.  I’ve made furniture I. The Shaker style complete with dovetail joints.  I made my daughter a memory chest out of cherry for her to keep her daughter’s things in after she died.  Again dovetail joinery.  I carved a memorial plate for the top that my daughter didn’t know I was doing.

 

you’ve been following the things on my boat.  This is my second attempt at the instrument panel first one never made it beyond the face plate which promptly wrapped .  This faceplate is made from King Starboard.  I know how I plan to Mount it to my helm but I am still figuring out how to attach my drink holder.  It’s also Starboard.  The thing about Starboard is it can’t be glued, you have to use mechanical fasteners.  To achieve that the sides are solid oak. So I can use wood screws.

 

@Artpetal your house sounds nice.  I’ve always like the style and craftsmanship used in them.  Unfortunately they are rarely properly cared for. The owner gets old and can’t keep it up.  Honestly that’s why I’m moving to a condominium I don’t want to have to keep fixing my house.

 

Getting ready to go to my group tonight.

 

hugs

Jamie, I’m sorry life took a left turn when it comes to your heater.  My daughter has a lot of trouble with her condensate pump as well.  But the way hers was installed, it doesn’t shut down the furnace, it just overflows on the floor.  They need to put alarms on those things.

 

I heard from Ask This Old House that they do make alarms you can get that go off when they detect water on the floor.

Speaking of vivid dreams, I have the strangest dreams these days.  I never used to and I wonder if it’s a result of my antidepressants or HRT.  Some are recurring.  Anybody else having strange dreams have a clue as to why?

 

I feel like my dreams are always strange, I like to think it's just a reflection of myself 😆

I was asked once why I wear women's clothing.

I replied....duh, ever try to find men's clothing in the women's section?

She doesn't terrorize the objects on those shelves behind you? I feel like my cat would have a field day with that.

Projects, projects, projects. I have had a few. Take Frankie for example.

She has been through a lot with me back then.

One night she gets smashed, has nothing to do with the bars I played in, I

think, don't remember that night.

Anyway I rebuilt the whole guitar, neck, peg head, electronics and named her Frankenstein. 

So then comes Lola. My wife bought her for me.

I didn't like how she sounded, but my wife bought her for me.

I gave her a name and replaced all the electronics.

So sweet now.

 

So now I have a new project.

Can you guess where it is going?

A Facebook friend recently posted about a text message he got from his water heater about “water detected “ and he was bewildered at first because he thought water heaters worked best when they contain water! However on inspection he discovered that his garage had flooded. So I guess it really is a thing! Maybe one day the appliances will talk to each other. Maybe the cutlery and the crockery will start communicating, and the dish will really run away with the spoon! LOL

Speaking of cats, this one lies cuddled up with me every night. When we got her five years ago she was a hissing spitting ball of fur. Her previous owner had abused her. If you got anywhere near her face she would leave you with a painful reminder! I was diagnosed with stage three cancer about a year later and she took it upon herself to nurse me back to health and would curl up with me on the couch when I was feeling miserable. We called her squeaky because of her high pitched meow. Today when I introduce her to people I will have her speak for herself. I pick her up and say “what’s your name” and give a little squeeze and she always says “squeak”!

McmasterCarr.com has almost every type of fastener. They aren't cheap though. When I was working as an industrial sheet metal worker, I had only had them be out of stock on my item twice in about 25 years.

Well now that I'm all wound up, last post.

I was asked about aging today, you know, a young -transgender- to an old -transgender-

sort of thing. Like what is different now?

 

My reply was simple. When I was young I was worried about my mail being lifted

from the box. Now I worry about it being lifted from some cloud.

No, neither of the cats are bad about getting on any of the bookcases or half walls. We do have three cat towers around the house so they can look down on us as they view their territory. We've also been luck that they don't sharpen their claws on our furniture. They use the rope pillars on the cat towers.

Amy doesn't get involved in what's on the screen, however she's very into the keyboard. Sheldon on the hand wants you to play cat videos on any device you're looking at. He also doesn't want to be held or confined in any manner.

Oh, BTW, the reason the cats don't mess with my instruments hanging on the

wall is true. They are scared I will plug them in.

No kidding, true. They live down here. Yeah I know...bad Linda....

They do.  My latest water heater (they all fail just as the warranty expires) has a pigtail that rests in the catch pan it sits in.  

 

Also when I had a flood at my house a few months ago I looked and found there are all kinds of leak or water intrusion devices available.

I have no clue why, but do have strange dreams where I'm young and athletic and enjoying that except I wake as me, old arthritic, and tired. But the memories are lovely to have, and I'm grateful my higher power once gave them to me and I enjoy watching sports with that in mind.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.
