News just in. Yes we all know.

Us intelligent people are pissed off that a pedophile is our president.

Using a wood mallet, a small stone harder than the rock I'm working, some water to absorb shock from the tool, I think I found a possible pecking method that ancient may have used to get the grooves into a stone celt for installing a sturdy handle. I finished one side today, because it was a warm day, and I drove everywhere on the bike around noon to go get things and some groceries, and some plant tubers out of deperot woods. If I had an efficient way to edit videos I would show the entire work in broken down clips. I may need to find a friend who can edit videos.

I can do a lot of the primitive stuff. Half of it is experimental archeology, because I want to try to discover other possible ways things back then could be made.

Do I have any viewer's here who can edit videos? I can send my video clips via email. I don't have much money, but I can guarantee no less than 15 Washingtons and a max of 25 Washingtons for edit. I'm not asking for professional work, just making a good long video for me to upload once in a while. I live with people now, so I have little time to finish some of these projects. This was a rock I started on last year, and starting working on it again this morning.

I have one more side to groove. I'm not gonna make deep Grooves tho. Because this stone head is likely to break if I go too thin. It's a processing axe. Not really used for falling trees, but capable of dropping a sapling as good as any hatchet could. This one require more maintaining of the stone edge. Something you don't have to do as often with a regular hatchet.

Painting of the trees in my friends backyard. I'll be adding more paint to it. This was a painting I put to the side, to finish later. In a few days it'll get more paint done to it.

Japanese miso soup, with cherubs, spinach, and lime juice in it. Soften the spinach and cherubs on the last minute of cooking. Keep soup liquids in it. This doesn't taste good without the soup and flavorings I added.

I've been trying to eat a diet based on my AB blood type. 3 months in, I wake up tired, but a bit more energized lately without the use of coffee or junked foods.

Sorry for not really posting anything lately.

I'm a very busy person from time to time, often making time for others.

This summer I have a plan. And I need my friends to be okay with me going on a random long term camping trip.

First sign of concern makes me cancel everything and try again later.

Just like my issue with vocal surgery approval and laser therapy for facial hair. Also part of that is, because I don't like making phone calls, or answer the same questions. And I need a lot of help with that.

Too embarrassed to say why as it is a deep personal issue I have. Hince the reason I don't really talk correctly on some of my videos. My head says the voice is static and I have to struggle to get information out sometimes.

Sorry I have been away for a while, when I was homeless I had to sleep in this, so this is like my second year not having to.

My situation in Nashville was always on and off, pretty stable here so far. When the time comes, there will be a video upload, in the meantime I figured out how to knit the old way.

I'm still learning, but yarn is regularly sent to me, so gotta do something with it. Maybe a sack, some small blanket or whatever.

I babysit a dog in winters, so yeah nothing much other than this hobby and that right now.

A friend of mine down in Nashville TN doesn't know it, but made my day very much worth calling a day.
Mel helps local families and homeless people reconnect, she also goes out her way to be a friend for many of the people down there.

She was having a hard day today so I commented on her reel on Instagram to try and cheer her up if I could.

Her reply reminded me that I once did do a few good things while I was in TN.

Thank you Mel

You were there for me, and what are friends if they aren't there for each other?

Some projects require a powering option. I'll need three more components, I can generate 30 amps with this with appropriate battery system. This can also take 3.5 watts, and increase the output to 60 watts for that without much power drain.

This makes up for having quick lighting in dark conditions, more on that around summer.

I needed a light dimmer that won't eat too much power but will power any light I need. In my case I keep a few rope lights around, the shed outside has no power, so the building needs lighting, it's an old 1800s restroom after all that turned into a shed.

Not only do you see a dress, but you're seeing a fringetied dress, that was made from a roll of fabric and a pair of scissors. This fabric works well as an under layer for clothing. However it used to be all I had at one time in my life to wear until I got more clothing. This thing holds a memory of a moment in my life I told a city, (f#@k you Im gonna have clothes my own way) those were my coming out years.

I spent them homeless, camping 24/7, foraging from trash cans for food, and barely ever pan handling for anything other than winter gear when the time came.

Other than that, I used two tarps as my main shelter system. I lived in an envelope until I got a third tarp to increase my space and functionality of shelter


And in Nashville, it was always a better idea to have a camp system you can pack up easily every day to go about the day before finding another sleeping spot.

Today I share this story
As a way of saying, adaptation is accessible in a time of dire need. In my case I was homeless, I had to figure a lot of things out on my own. And some people experience homelessness in far worse conditions than I have.

I finished a prickly pear cactus page. Some busted discard writing pens were used as a quill ink, in combination with some of my acrylic white paint, and a green sharpie that's trying to run dry.

I guess they call this creative reuse.

My quill for the moment is just a plastic soda straw I've modified to use as a quill pen. And a sea shell to dip my quill in for the ink.
