Ranting and Raving
It really has been a long time since posted last, almost two months. Oops. It happens, and might have something to do with the two other blogs I write more frequently on, but that's just an excuse.
I was thinking, mostly due to a weekend of truck work, about my shop space. A few days back I had a friend over and due to his common interest in car/truck restoration he wanted to see my truck and check out my progress. I happily complied, as most people don't really care all that much. So I take him out to the garage and show him around. He is adequately impressed by the work I've done, and the commitement I've gotten myself into. All fine and well. But then he is talking to my wife later, away from me and makes some snide remark about the general disarray of my shop. Whatever, it's like water off a duck's back (not really, you'll see).
Onto the weekend, I have the laborious task of washing all the parts I've removed from the truck so far so I can paint them and reassemble them. Mostly they are the parts that make up her lower end. The axels, wheel hub, brake hubs, steering linkages, brake cylinders, leaf springs, and that ilk. The idea is that when I finish cleaning and painting those parts, as well as the truck's frame, I can put them back together and she can once again rest on her own wheels instead of jack stands. To accomplish this I spent 10 hrs or so this weekend scrubbing truck parts. Hot soapy water, various scrubbing tools, a wire bristtle brush, some rubber gloves, a spray bottle full of special cleaner, all resulting in quite possibly the most filthy water I have seen in my life (so thick with solutes you can no longer see through it).
During this process my wife goes and buys some tile she wants to use to make a path in the yard. She asks me to put them in the garage. I say I don't have any space that I want to give up to a large pile of tile. "Maybe you would if you organized your shop." She says. I turn and say, "Do not say that again."
Maybe I over reacted, probably. But here's the thing. That shop is my space. My space alone. No one else ever has to enter it, nor do anything in it. Everything in it is something I use (minus the crap that was in it when we bought the house and I haven't been able to remove). Now if you were to enter it, maybe you would think it's a horrible mess, and that's fine. Maybe you couldn't get anything done in it because you could never find anything, maybe the "disarray" would over whelm you and render you powerless to do anything. But that's not how it is for me.
Sure sometimes I can't find something I need, or at least I have to spend a few minutes looking, but so what? I like it how it is. And besides, I don't see it as dirty or disarrayed. I keep things clean enough, vacuum up the saw dust now and then, clean out the trash. Plus it's hardly unorganized, it's just organized by my system. Things I use constantly are left out in places I can get at them. Things I don't use often are put away. And then there's the fact that it really is two shops in one, both of which use lots of tools and make their own types of messes. Try mixing a wood shop and a mechanics shop (and for good measure somebody else's old junk) in a single 1 and 1/2 car garage and tell me if there is enough space for everything. I'll save you the trouble, it's a tight fit.
Now, this sounds like so much whining, and it is. But then what are blogs for? Here's what it comes down to: there are really two types of shop people. Those who keep there shops immaculate, and those that live in constant controled chaos. Neither one can emulate the other, it just isn't in their make up. Sure I could keep my shop perfectly organized and spotless. But for me cleaning is a major undertaking. So I would end up losing too much time that could be spent working cleaning and organizing. As it is, I have to sacrafice at least one day every few months to the gods of clean. I don't want to do anymore.
So in closing, people are different, deal with it. When a space/thing/project/thought/life is not yours, nor does it directly effect your well being, then leave it alone. Or at least voice your opinions with respect, as snide comments only have the opposite effect intended. I for one am no more likely to change my ways. No, I am just less likely to allow anyone in my shop.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I make money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.

This time, Jarak bowed from the waist, his long white ponytail spilling over one shoulder. He stood still, letting them look their fill as they slowly filed into the room. And entirely unwarranted. She even stood, with the vague intention of leaving the balcony. He hadnt used that soothing tone for many nights. He thumbed a tear from her cheek. Startled from her thoughts, she glanced up at him. She, too, was watching, her cheek resting on the top of his head. They had always done all they could for her, even when she was difficult. Clearing her throat, she stepped back and turned to face Nialdlye again. Her fingers curled into fists, and she pounded both of them on his chest. Brevin had stepped aside, a huge shadow beside Tykirs shoulder. Its not the same without you. Tykirs cock slid deliciously through her hands, the oils from his skin coating her palms. When hed had his fill and shed somewhat subsided, he rose to his knees. I can live with that. Except that she is not a goddess and could not have maintained such power. Youre not done questioning me. The curl to his lip was resigned. My goddess has blessed me, he spoke into her mind.

When Lanthan backed up a step, putting distance between them, something behind her heart twisted. She found her arms and legs wrapped tightly around him, although she still couldnt see. The bowl and spoon remained, but the girl and infant were nowhere to be seen. It didnt even help that Brevin was sucking Tykirs cock right beside them. His hands were comforting weights on her shoulders, helping her to ground.
