so much stuff….Wranglerstar gives it away

Posted on by October 28, 2018

Oh.

Man.

I have a lot of stuff poked away in various places, too.

It’s like a treasure hunt to clean up and discover that I really don’t have any excuse for “wanting” anything.

I have enough.

I still like to look for more stuff, though.

Here’s a video of Wranglerstar going through his piles of stuff….trying to decide what to get rid of…. and how to get rid of…. the excess.

The size of the pile shouldn’t be a marker for how long we’ve been alive.

Maybe the one knife that we’ve sharpened down to a narrow blade is what we should have to look at as we age?

One thing, one tool….well used and familiar.

Wranglerstar!

How’d you get so much stuff?!

USPS TV

USPS TV?

Who knew there was such a thing?

Not me.

Check out this video.

We don’t have any rural carriers who have access to LLVs (LLV’s?) that I know of in our area….but all these carriers seem to be driving them.

But, at least, at the end of the video, there’s a disclaimer that says that the use of your personal vehicle may be required.

I am perpetually repairing the vehicles that I use on the mail route.

That’s on me.

I do that.

It’s a pain to keep a mail car going.

On the other hand, when we get reports on the accidents that have involved postal carriers in our area, the big majority of them happen in the LLVs that the Postal System maintains.

So…maybe I’m safer in my own vehicle.

Where are they delivering where it’s so nice and flat, too?

Do they get a deduction on their evaluated time when the driving is nice?

USPS TV?

Who knew there was a place to go to get the scoop on the real skivvy?

Whole Earth Flashbacks

Posted on by October 21, 2018

My cousins out West were a whole lot older and cooler than I was when I was a pre-teen, and they had a copy of the first Whole Earth Catalog.

What a cool thing that was!

Pre-internet, there really wasn’t much like it….a catalog of useful tools.

This video has some bad language….and it reminded me that a lot of the stuff that went on in the 1960’s might not have been very morally modulated or nice (in spite of all the “grooviness”)…but it is an interesting account of a lively time and a good bunch of books called the “Whole Earth Catalogs”.

We need some grooviness now, I suppose.

You can never have enough “groovy”, can you?
