I was a GPS surveyor 24 years ago, when we had to add to or subtract from the calculated elevation to account for the non-uniformity of the Geoid. bsky.app/profile/your...

It's my birthday. I'm old enough to know better and young enough to do it again. I miss my HS friends on FB, to be honest. "Try Bluesky," said the friend I love so deeply, the one I never see. The only people who have befriended me here have been scammers posing as attractive women. Happy birthday.

No sugarcoating. When Trump denies us the ability to vote our way out of this Heritage Foundation takeover, aided and abetted by Russia, our worst enemy, true Americans will have no choice but to shoot our way out. Put most plainly, we vote so that we don't murder each other over politics.

We cannot call this a legitimate government. Trump was installed with Putin's aid. Trump stole a list of spies, and American spies around the world suddenly died. The Constitution is ignored. Our private data has been stolen and sold. Pardons are for sale. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

It's logical. Trump's campaign met with Russians over a hundred times during his first run as one after another of his opponents fell silent or, like Paul Ryan, quietly exited politics. Ryan thought he was the next president. In April of 2017, Trump blackmailed Lindsay Graham on a golf course.

This tablet is a piano now, and I have amazing fortitude, because I'm going to work, anyway. Call me when it's time to get dirty and take risks on behalf of liberty and freedom. Gubmint fatasses committing murder at will is exactly why the 2nd Amendment exists. Who's ready for a little fun?

If I die suddenly, don't let my sister restore your windows.

Telling you people that fascist violence is coming for you got me kicked off FB. It may get me kicked off this platform, but you need to learn their language, right now. Armed resistance will be necessary, if you want to shake the billionaires off our backs and abolish ICE. Lawyers won't stop Nazis.

A Russian asset is about to declare both of my Senators illegitimate. Explain how this isn't an act of civil war, a deliberate belligerent attack designed to start a war, like firing on sleeping troops at Fort Sumter. Fuck growing old. To live in Nazi Germany? No way.

Yo, Eleanor. bsky.app/profile/east...

Love you, Bette.

For the demisexuals out there.

Pain is a reliable alarm clock you don't even need to set. Every morning. Weekends, too.

Your thought for the day.

Bluesky: you're a hotbed of scammers and attempted scammers. To the attempted scammer: you're too reliant on AI for conversation. I'm not as stupid as I look. Fuck right off. Take your AI with you.

New project, Bluesky: we're recreating some 1916 window shutters that actually open and close.

Bullies are weaklings. bsky.app/profile/free...

I think this sort of craftsmanship should be preserved and restored.

I do love to laugh, and these goobers shooting up whatever made them grumpy does tickle me, sometimes.

Four stacks of sashes representing four different homes, from East Point to East Lake (that's completely across pre-WW2 Atlanta).

Two miles in twelve minutes in these bad boys.

WAKE THE FUCK UP AMERICA! In how many speeches has Trump attacked antifa, or anti-fascists. In other words, he is stating that, under him, our country is the opposite: we are now a fascist state. CONCLUSION: It will soon be too late. We've seen this before. Study German history. ===================

I love this modern take on one of my favorite classics. bsky.app/profile/foun...

Watching Bluey, no doubt.

Semi-regular reminder that I got booted from FB, because I don't think anyone has the right to bully you, including Patriot Front strip-mall Nazis. I think they're scum. I love the guy to my right. He introduced me to Parliament Funkadelic and taught me something important and ugly about myself.

Placed a Walmart order. I can pick it up anytime after 4:22. What, is that when Derek returns from his break? Also, Derek, you need a longer break. Unionize, brother. #cannabiscures

I got an A in Climate and Meteorology, taught by Professor Kumar at Georgia State, so you can trust me when I tell you it's hotter than the hinges of Hell out here. Thankfully, there are violent thunderstorms with damaging hail to cool things off a little. Nothing like the breeze from a tornado...

The major speaks for me. bsky.app/profile/pink...

It's blazing hot. People keep making me go outside. It's like that's where the windows are. Well, they're inside, too. Bitch grumble bitch. I'm making new windows to perfectly match 1904 windows. Damn, I love my work!

Since creating an account here, I have been approached by SIX chatbot/ AI-whatevers thinking they can approximate human speech and conversation. One guaranteed me that she was a real person with a heartbeat. Her name was Deleted Account.

Troubling read for anyone committed to truth and justice. Reforming the Supreme Court and doing away with lifetime appointments has to be right up there with abolition of the Electoral College on our agenda to rid ourselves of fascists and capitalist grifters. bsky.app/profile/prop...

The crowds are YUGE! bsky.app/profile/just...

These 40" high window sashes were built in 1866. How are your modern wooden windows holding up? They're rotting, you say? Nothing beats old-growth lumber, and they don't make it anymore. Yes, I teach. Looking for pass on the knowledge. #historicpreservation #windowrestoration #apprenticeshiprocks

This is why you pay attention in 9th-grade Physical Science class. It inoculates you against multi-generational, multi-front, multimillion-dollar bullshit campaigns. You say... "Sounds like bullshit to me." "But Al Gore said it." "Mr. Lynch said otherwise. " bsky.app/profile/prop...

bsky.app/profile/raws... No shit; before today, I didn't have a favorite pickle company. Buy Mt. Olive pickles.

Just a doe in my Atlanta backyard, eating blueberries. Hope she saved me some.

Apparently, if you ask AI whom to call about your windows, it's us. I wouldn't recommend AI to anyone, but AI recommended me to reproduce historic window jambs in a 1904 mansion. Still a waste of water and energy, but when it comes to windows... Perhaps one day, AI will steal my painting style.

I read this 44 years ago, so I'm not surprised at the weather. Give it a read. It's simple, basic Earth science.

My kid who grew up on video games says I'm a Chaotic Good, whatever that is.

Army brat confession: I loved my dad's chipped beef on toast, but i also loved good old SOS, the best civilian equivalent of which is sausage gravy. I have the cholesterol numbers to eat like this. Yep, I'm bragging.

Gather with your friends and neighbors on the Fourth. Hold a huge meeting in a public space. Everyone take turns reading a sentence from the Constitution of the United States of America. This simple act will drive Trump and his mob crazy and let them know that we know it's our country, not theirs.

My client is a classic film fan, too. It's... the stuff dreams are made of.

Yes, it's possible to be completely misunderstood, if you don't spell shit out and use simple words in brief, declarative statements, but here's the clarification of the day: I am much too acquainted with violence to be entertained by it, and I am ashamed of humanity, because it's so lucrative.

September 26th of last year, I celebrated FIFTY years of cannabis use. My lungs are pink. My heart is strong. I sleep at night, and I am as regular as sunrise, huge for an old guy who survived colorectal cancer. I have quit alcohol, cigarettes, cocaine, speed, and every other intoxicant except art.

It's up to you not to heed the call-up. You must not act the way you were brought up.

Made a new meeting rail for this 160 year-old sash today. This lovely little sweetie has doweled joints. This is from one of the first buildings erected down here after Uncle Billy's little barbecue died down. Could have used Sherman after 1/6 to deal with insurrectionists.

Big sashes for one of Atlanta's oldest homes, built right after the Civil War. The glass is 36" long.
