Good Evening, one and all.

 

Having a good day enjoying the gorgeous weather. Currently 62 official degrees. Looking at 70 tomorrow and 72 Wed. Have been able to work on my projects. Did a little on the Explorer. Finally after having the parts for almost 18 months I got the Compressor in the Ranger up and going. Also, got the tweeter pods for the bike painted. Going to get them put on shortly. Now just have to wait for the new amp for the bike. The one I had for the bike wound up being bad. So, to avoid any problems I ordered a new one.

 

Go in for my consult on a replacement tooth tomorrow. I still am waiting to here from my endo on what direction she wants to go with my treatment. My T is down.(yeah) but my E is low she is checking on different options.

 

Have a wonderful rest of your day.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

Good evening 

 

My wife managed to make her connections on her own.  She was somewhat concerned especially when the first flight was an hour late.  Standby numbers and available seats kept changing but she made it.

 

Hectic day at work.  But in the end it went well.

 

Ran the place alone for several periods.  We have a newer than me worker.  He’s earned the behind his back nickname of Stinky.  He tends to take extended smoke breaks.  And for some reason we tend to get busier while he is out.  The last time while he was out my terminal locked up and I wound up having to use his for a while to keep the line moving.  When he finally came back I had him take the line while I attended to my terminal.  I had to shut it down and reboot it.  That takes a couple of minutes to get it back up.  As soon as I could I picked back up my share and before you knew it the line was gone.  
 

I’m off the next two days.  I have laundry and errands to handle.

Good Morning 🌞

 

I have today off work as it's my birthday and always like to have a small break around Easter. I'm taking my son to see the new Dungeons and Dragons movie later.

Good morning, everyone!! Happy Birthday @kira_k! Have a wonderful day!!!

 

1st cup of coffee is working its magic so I'm semi-coherent at this point. Dogs are walked and fed so its time to read the paper. I have some small projects planned for around our property but, otherwise, a normal quiet day.

 

Stay safe and enjoy this day!!

Good morning everyone,:coffee:

 

Happy Birthday @kira_k enjoy your day at the movies.

 

Today is another day in the shop working on a Damage Control Pipe Leak Tree for Corona, CA Fire Academy. It's an arrangement of various pipes that have common types of plumbing leaks that public safety is called to handle, before a plumbing contractor arrives. It also has plumbing commonly found in chemical handling process, as well as fire department sprinklers. I'll finish it up today, deliver it to our crating company tomorrow, and they will ship it.

 

That leaves Thursday through Sunday for a Camping Trip to Wapakoneta, OH. This is the birthplace of Neil Armstrong and home of the Armstrong Air & Space Museum.

 

Hugs,

Happy Birthday @kira_k

 

@Dillon I hope everything gets better.

 

Well first day back to the grind. At least it is supposed to be nice. 75 forecast. All I get to do is drive around, avoiding the construction. I knew this weather wouldn't last we are expecting white crap on Thurs and Fri. However, I will enjoy the warmth in the mean time.

 

Hope everyone has a great day.

 

Hugs,

Kymmie

Oh, I'm sorry, hope your week gets better! I'm personally doing somewhat well, but failing to hand out campaign buttons.

Thank you Dillion, attached you'll see the first one I built for a friend, and his department. I never thought I would be building 50 more. Today my business partner called and informed me that the New York State Fire Marshals Office ordered three more.

@ShawnaBI'm glad your brother sees who you are and accepts you. It's great that he was willing to go to family therapy with you.

Good morning, everyone!!! Coffee intake has started, dogs are walked and fed and it's time to read the paper...pretty much my morning routine. I have some projects around the house today - and my therapy session - to keep me busy.

 

I am so happy that your brother has accepted you @ShawnaB!!

 

Life is so very good. 

 

Be safe and enjoy this day.

Yes, life is good. I've got this week off work, we're going out for dinner tomorrow night for a small extended family gathering, the weather is OK, and I have other things to look forward to in the short term as well.

 

@ShawnaB I have also been reading your posts and I am very happy for you!

@MirrabookaI love that we're separated by a Dateline, and Equator, but still share a common experience socially. We're never alone, and gain comfort form kind people around the world. We are a global community.

 

Thank you again @Dillon, and @Ivy you are correct. So much for retirement, at best I'm semiretired. The good thing is I stopped traveling two weeks a month, and now I have time to casually build props.

 

@ShawnaBI'm glad you're able to build family support.

 

@April Marie, I love seeing your postings around the forums, you're such a positive influence.

Thank you.

 

Hugs for everyone,

Thank you, Mindy!! I have so little to offer in terms of experience here - I always try to employ the Triple P. The Power of Positive Pessimism. It might suck, but it can always be worse. 🙂

 

I do take such inspiration from your upbeat approach and encouragement. You've helped me tremendously as I've navigated my way though this new life. Just knowing that I can take my time, transition in ways that make sense and don't have to just leap in full blown has made it much easier to digest, and to enjoy. You are a rock star.

Hi TGPulse Friends, 

 

My flight to CA? Stressful. My flight? Successful. 

(Arrival at the airline airport gate: 

“I'm sorry, your reservation has been cancelled. Would

  you like to book a flight to Kafkaland, instead? It’s positively Kafkaesque!”) 

 

But no problemo—I booked through a separate reality. 

And I’m now forced to deal with a scene such as this 

one below—exacerbated by wind chimes and sunshine. 

Chance for survival? 99%.

Have great and sressless day, all!

      Sounds like time for a new Body Technician hopefully one that is actually a Doctor Of Medicine, this one you describe is short of that mark.

      I've been seeing my new treating doctor for quite some time now, whenever I'm advised to make an appointment. When it comes to seeing a new treating doctor, hard part is starting all over again building trust between patient and doctor. On my first day seeing my new treating doctor, before I could say anything else to her, she explained to me I needed to be completely honest with her. I kind of expected that type of patient profiling response from her, since she doesn't specialize in intersex care. Anyway, I sat down in the chair as I explained to my new doctor, I don't have all of my hospital records, certain records from my childhood and teenager years are mysteriously missing regarding a surgery. After my examination was over, she disregarded or showed no interest in searching for my missing medical records, but instead she blamed me for how I take care of my health today.

      Had a customer bring in her Subie for struts. I ordered fronts. later yesterday, the boss called me into the shop. the proceeds to say I ordered the wrong ones, the fronts instead of rears. Then today I got looking I did order the right ones the first time. All the paper work that I have says front even the last work order said fronts. I told the other boss. So, Have I gotten a sorry from the boss. Ha, ha, not yet. I am doubting I will ever get one.   Oh, well. life goes on.   Kymmie

      While I agree with a lot of the campaign personally, I don't think a government-mandated reduction in childbirth is really necessary. As a young person, I hardly know anyone who wants to be a parent in the future. I think a lot of people will either be waiting a while or not having kids at all, meaning that the number of kids being born will probably decrease. Overcrowding's also mostly an urban issue -- plenty of places in rural America have plenty of space for both people and growing food.    Of course, everyone sees things differently, so I won't necessarily say you're wrong. I just think my generation is a lot less inclined to the family mindset than some that came before us.

      To me, it sounds like a solution searching for a problem.  I believe in the Russian perspective, that oil is abiotic and likely under every part of the Earth's surface.  There's plenty.  "Peak oil" and "climate" are excuses for government control.   As for roads, we use asphalt because tar and bitumen are a byproduct of fuel production, not the other way around.  Asphalt is not a great material, really.  It can also be recycled somewhat and used again.  Notice how road crews grind down existing asphalt into powder? Concrete is a better material for roads.  But in areas like where I live, very little of our roads are paved.  Gravel is a luxury, and a lot of roads are mud.  Same in many "developing" nations.  Pavement is better for transport, but its not like we would die without it.  Lack of pavement might actually be a good thing, as people might stay home more and food might be grown locally instead of relying on transportation.  It would stop this wacky idea of growing everything in California.     I believe the big crisis we face is globalism and government control.  Proposing some scheme to control our families? That's just more of the same.  Even if folks managed to get enough votes (or rig enough elections) to get the power to do that, it won't be as VP or president of the USA in its current 50-state form.

      The months of June has already been planned out for me with only minimal time for sleep between the Trans Chorus Of Los Angeles and the various communities around me that are in the service area of the LGBTQ  Center I was on the Board of Directors of that are having Pride Events, both LGBTQ Pride and Trans Pride stand alone events.

      Very cool. I've been clumsily navigating the world of makeup so this may help. Some of the tutorials on YouTube are so advanced, they may as well be speaking Klingon :P

      I've realized that our laptops are using much less plastic than they used to.  They are smaller devices that use less raw materials and are easier to ship and hold up better in shipping than bigger computers with removable parts.  They seem to have gotten rid of the overheating/fan problem for the most part, but there is a performance hit for that.  I use a 10yo desktop computer with a moderate level gaming video card to run 3 monitors.  I'm a producer though and most consumers have no need for that.   I really haven't watched TV since the 80's.  I spend some time researching on the internet and then I spend a lot of time meditating on the objects in my environment and on the streets.  From living on the streets for a year, I've learned that people can say anything and can control you, but the laws of physics and mathematics are outside of that and really even transcend time itself.  After people would not support my music, I built my life as a software engineer based on mathematics and engineering.  I've had a moderately successful career with that and have written code for many different industries.   The problem with stopping oil usage is that if we still need the bitumen to pave our roads and shingle our houses, then what do we do with the gas when we refine it?  There are natural deposits of bitumen, but you know, with so many people out there, demand is huge and we are using this stuff up.  If you grow corn for corn syrup, then what do you do with the cobs?  We've shipped coffee and bananas all over the world.  We took material from those environments.  What do we do now?  How long can it last?

      I think that threats that can be proven should be incarcerated for half the sentence of the one they would commit if carried out.  Lies unfortunately are just words unless as you stated if not under oath. 
    • Ivy
      I think it depends on where and how it's happening. We also need safe places where, the perhaps more easily intimidated, can feel free to express themselves.     And what about threats of violence?  Can this lead to a place where only the violent can have this freedom?  Is it "free speech" to threaten and intimidate opposing views into silence?  I mean maybe, if I can say anything - "if you don't shut up I'll kill you."   Or spreading lies?  (perhaps about an election). Lying is okay, unless you're under oath - for what that's worth.   Censoring books in schools?  That was fine until the bible was included.  (there is some nasty stuff in there) Then, there's what used to be that free speech birdie place.  You can denigrate queer people all you want, but "cis" is a slur, and prohibited?  Free speech as long as I like it? And let's not go into court cases and gag orders. Porn?
