Hot and humid.\u00a0 So much of both.<\/p>\n
It was a little bit less hot and humid yesterday, with thunder, lightning, and some light rain late in the day.<\/p>\n
I did some work on the Honda gennie.\u00a0 Cleaned the carb, checked out the starting system, but didn’t solve the ‘runs for about a minute then dies’ problem.<\/p>\n
Spent some time cleaning the pool, naturally, since it’s a pool.<\/p>\n
Didn’t cut the grass or work on the gardens.\u00a0 I’ll do that today.\u00a0 There is always something to do around the house.<\/p>\n
I really want to get at least one gennie running.\u00a0 I’ve got a lot of food and money in freezers…\u00a0 I do have the batteries and various and sundry inverters to run stuff if I need to but I’d prefer less of a rigged up solution.\u00a0 I’m mentally moving the solar panel project up the list too.<\/p>\n
Pulled some stuff out of the stacks to solve issues for wife and kids this week.\u00a0 That’s satisfying, I can tell you \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Thanks to the alt-media and blogs, the MSM has had to start at least flirting with the truth of the Kenosha events.\u00a0\u00a0 The original perp did have a knife.\u00a0 There is a pic of him holding it during the arrest.\u00a0\u00a0 His background as a real scumbag and the reasons he and the cops were all there (he violated a restraining order) have come out.\u00a0 The kid who shot the rioters is finally getting aggressive defense with truths coming out about the scumbags who attacked him too.\u00a0 There is a ton of video and once you get walked through the video, it’s pretty clear what really happened.\u00a0\u00a0 If people can be convinced to actually watch the vids, the kid has a chance.<\/p>\n
In MN, the Coroner’s report has come out and casts a different light on the situation leading to Floyd’s death.\u00a0 The cop might get a break too.\u00a0 I am not a proponent of a lot of the things that the cops have done, and this looked really egregious, but the reality of the series of events may turn out to be quite different than the initial story.\u00a0 The community anger and the destructive power of the mob will remain though.<\/p>\n
I’m not the only one who has noted the seeming increase in people ‘losing their sh!t’ over seemingly minor stuff.\u00a0 If you’re going out, Remain Calm.\u00a0 De-escalate and move away.\u00a0 If you can’t, be prepared to act violently and decisively.\u00a0 Pay attention so you have time to make a choice.\u00a0 Have an exit plan, don’t get boxed in.\u00a0 Carry.\u00a0 Better to have it and not need it, than the opposite.\u00a0 Best case, don’t be there.<\/p>\n
And keep stacking…<\/p>\n
