    I try diligently to not have discos about politics, religion, or techie stuff. These topics bore me no end and following Gandhi (or whoever said it) I try to be the change that I want to see in GS and when I do show up and enter into conversations I feel that the talks are good and diverse.

    I do believe that the Windows 10 computer at the office will meet a Debian or Devuan disc real soon. If The Boss doesn't like it he can fire me.

    @strypey Contrary to popular belief the US has five candidates statistically capable of winning the election. Corporations and their stooges in the media have insured that only two are known. I believe the corps own those two parties.

    Nothing more irritating than friggin football commercials during the #worldseries. Who gives a crap about football?!

    Current #newlife plans: 1) sell off everything except personals, 2) but pickup truck and TV. 3) find, buy, and move to land, 4) dig garden, 5) build barndominium while living in RV, 6) make living by writing and occasional woodworking project. The details though, oh my God the details!

    I owe some people (notably @einebiene ) an update on our quest for a #minimalist #selfsufficient and #offthegrid life. Angel and I went down to the TX Hill Country again in search of decent land. The land there is good for ranching but not much for farming. As much as I want to be there I am beginning to doubt that it will happen. Which is OK, it costs way too much to live there since the yuppies discovered it a few years ago. As far as progress on cleaning up our lives since the last update- not much has happened. I have spent too much of my time trying to stay ahead of the money so I haven't made much progress on my personal life change or on our familial life change. We were talking over the weekend and we have about reached the decision that we just need to sell off everything except for our clothes, computers, and kitchen stuff and start over again. In spite of our current money situation we are ahead of the game financially speaking. So our idea could work.

    Ok, so today consisted mostly of dirt moving and some plumbing work. I did get some firewood chopped in case we will need to cook in the future. I did listen to some shortwave while I worked. No qso on ham today.

    I do go to work tomorrow, not sure for how long. I have about a week's work there but that work is way ahead of schedule.

    Internet bill is due tomorrow and i haven't paid it yet. I still haven't decided.

    I do have some writings that needs finishing touches. I may finish them and send them to this grammarian/editor that I know and see if i can make quick on Amazon or somewhere.

    I am tired, worried, and dirty. I think that the rest of my Sunday will be spent in front of the TV vegging.

    For ham radio folk who are interested i am monitoring W5CAF-r which is a local #Echolink repeater. That is node #588444, I believe. I am on the radio but give me a shout.

    Looks like my job may disappear in the next few days/weeks.

    We are working feverishly, cheaply, and resourcefully to get the remaining crops in the ground, just in case.

    We are currently out of water. No rain until Monday late.

    My internet bill is due in the 7th. Not sure I will renew it.

    A few unecessary things are going on sale and I may get with someone and try to get my little religious tome put together for sale.

    Jobs are scarce around here right now but we'll muddle through somehow. Maybe a massive begging campaign.

    I will keep you posted.

    My GS timeline is a little on the scary side today. Lots of people who I thought had sense are posting pictures of Nazis and Klansmen and crap like that. Did I miss something? Is today st00pid day?

    A few months back I found a box of cassette tapes in the hut. We don't even own a cassette player anymore

    Ever get that feeling as you view your online social sites that something is not quite right but you can't exactly put your finger on what is wrong?

    Does anyone know of a privacy conscious alternative to Netflix/YouTube? Ogg downloads would be a plus

    I don't necessarily believe there's going to be a pole shift but there is some good info here for #homestead #offgrid types http://www.pssurvival.com
