TSCLT 12.0: The pantheon hates a pussy 2.0

[Wat_Tyler]

Home. Not sure what's for supper, but it'll be something already in the house.


Tame day at work. 'Bout fucking time!!!


The josh burns for those who need it. Allah stokes the eternal flames of Islamic Hell for those who need that.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Friday!!! And about damned time, too. It's been a goofy week if not a tough one. Slept pretty well even if I woke up a bit early. The cat races haven't started yet. It's warm out there, so taking the HfD to work looks like a thing. I get out of there after the 1300 meeting and there's no doubt that I beat the rain, too.


That bike better get used to the idea of having some miles run up on it this year.


There be coffee, so all is right in Allah's world . . . .


The happiness we seek, a genuine lasting peace and happiness, can be attained only through the purification of our minds. This is possible if we cut the root cause of all suffering and misery—our fundamental ignorance.

~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama

[Wat_Tyler]

Home. Got next week lined up, it seems. Getting into the rest of the project after all of the clusterfuckery of the first bit. That will be a nice touch indeed. So was the HfD today. Beat it home just before the showers started.


It is truly a pleasure being the Favorite of Allah . . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Saturday!!! Slept okay, but there could have been a bit more of it. Girlcat is being very much in my face this morning. Weather looks decent for today - rather Springlike. May get in a bit of HfD just because I can. Girlcat just went back on the floor, V4.0.


Went out for a bit last night to see the Friday gang. Well, one friend in particular. We got in a decent visit. The village idiot was there, too, dumb as always. And he always has to run his mouth. He should consider it a blessing from Allah that no one pushed him down the stairs.


Coffee is on the hoof . . . .


Enlightenment -- that magnificent escape from anguish and ignorance -- never happens by accident. It results from the brave and sometimes lonely battle of one person against his own weaknesses.

It's a good day for chili on account that it turned a little chilly.


I'm glad that joke never gets old.


I'll have have it with crackers. The saltine kind, not the people kind.


Celebrating St. Patrick's day because I'm neither Catholic or Irish. I don't have any corned beef or cabbage though, so sauerkraut and sausage will have to do.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Yeah, the cholesterol was up a bit, so we're trying to moderate it with diet as opposed to pills, so there will be no corned beef this year. Meh, so be it. I can always boil a cabbage to simulate it.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Not that there is any such thing as pipes too loud, but it explains why Wat rides alone:

 

[thør]

The polar bear loves the caribou (or reindeer)!

Everyone's a bit Irish on St Paddy's day. Once, my genetic ancestry had me being a percent Irish or so. I figured it was from one of my female viking ancestors out raping and pillaging in Ireland with the rest of the boat crew.

I do like my 4-stroke Doo's because they are quiet.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Yeah, but there's no one there. The most dangerous thing Wat encounters as he rides about is Millennial Women Texting. Or on the phone. They'll drive right up yer ass and that's nerve-wracking on one's HfD. They dent a fender, Wat loses a leg. For them, there are loud pipes.


I did stop in and the wrench's yesterday. Told him we still want to do it but we're going to be behind this year.

 

[thør]

I need to nail my cruiser wrench down to see if he can do a few things I want done before summer. It's not that I can't do them, it's just that he's handier with it and has all the tools, so it gets done quickly.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Right. And we have some money and not so much time.


But I look forward when I get to spend some time with my anvils . . . .

 

[thør]

Yup, time or money.....

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Sunday, and happy St. Paddy's. Up too damned early, but so that goes. Making the shopping list. Waiting for the cat races.Got the coffee up and running. Laundry begins soon. Took some food out to defrost. One container is a toss-up. Is it s'ghetti or chili? No matter - it's supper either way.


A straight oar looks bent in the water. What matters is not merely that we see things but how we see them.

~ Michel de Montaigne


Do not form views in the world through either knowledge, virtuous conduct, or religious observances; likewise, avoid thinking of oneself as being either superior, inferior, or equal to others.

The wise let go of the “self” and being free of attachments they depend not on knowledge. Nor do they dispute opinions or settle into any view.

For those who have no wishes for either extremes of becoming or non-becoming, here or in another existence, there is no settling into the views held by others.

Nor do they form the least notion in regard to views seen, heard, or thought out. How could one influence those wise ones who do not grasp at any views.

~ from the Sutta-nipata

On the Street​

By: Julia Vinograd​

I’m not here, don’t look at me.
Don’t scream when your children look at me,
do you think bad dreams are contagious?
Do you think I’ll breathe bad luck on your children?
Suppose you’d spent the afternoon
shining in your lover’s bed
and then brought him home to meet your parents
and they screamed
“Don’t touch that, you don’t know where it’s been!”
You can’t see me,
I’m just a crack in your contact lens;
I’m just a crack in your mirror.
My hands are dirty.
I’ve got your shadow under my fingernails,
I can’t wash it out.
I’ve got the shakes,
my own skin isn’t speaking to me
and I’m not speaking to you.
I’m not here, I have no past,
no memories, no name, not allowed.
So I eat your memories like garbage,
all your buried broken promises
and the bad dreams you forge
till you see me. Till you don’t see me.
I’m not here.

Happy Monday!!! Kinda rested after the weekend. The ones where a bit more gets done lead to a better sense of accomplishment. It's turning cooler this week after a warm last week. Spring will be along at 2306 EDT tomorrow night, but it's still feel a bit more like earlier in the month. No matter, as we'll be cussin' heat soon enough.


Demo begins today, praises to Allah!!! After coffee, of course.


Do not follow the ideas of others, but learn to listen to the voice within yourself. Your body and mind will become clear and you will realize the unity of all things.

The Buddha meditated for six years, Bodhidharma for nine. The practice of meditation is not a method for the attainment of realization—it is enlightenment itself.

Home. Made a salad. Ate half of it, so I reckon the other half gets et tomorrow. Work got done today. There was the old "truck broke down" doggerel from the plumber, but I should see them on Wednesday. We have some planning to do for the ADA conversions.


We got a surprise day off on the 29th. Good Friday from our secular company. So Wat might take a ride up to the farm because he can.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Happy Tuesday!!! Slept okay. Ordered some books over the last few days and the first couple came in yesterday. There does seem to be an inspection conflict with the Good Friday thing, but if that's the case, Wat may be able to swap it out for Monday and still sneak in a quick visit. The old horse may be lonely.


The coffee is gittin' 'er done . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Slow at work, but moving. Could be worse.


Feels like breathing. Breathing is good.

My theory was, they knew they'd need a lot of electricity and the TVA had just installed that grid, so it had to be the most modern in the country.

My theory is that a Senator from TN gave Roosevelt his support for the project as long as dollars poured into TN.
