in the race to beat the snow, i seem to be winning,..


on a warm November day,...

the floor that was rotten had a good reason
the ground under the structure is lower than the surrounding outside.
hence the water collected in the well, prime rot conditions

the Dinosaur came to play,...
Photobucket
this machine has been in my life for about 20 years
it's not mine, but like other peoples cats, it acts like it's mine

and carved a path to lead the water away,...
Photobucket

eventually i'll put a full drainage system in
but this will serve till spring,..

yes there are pages of back-story and detail,...
perhaps when i have more time

vital signs [Oct. 24th, 2009|03:34 pm]
The edge that cuts true leaves the polished exposure liken to immaculate elan.

The ways of power give one the bevue of the gods.

Speak to me with the tremor of the tortured sky in the throes of the gale and even a whisper will render my spirit in rainbow striations.

The Malapropism of love, is the common tongue.

one down [Aug. 24th, 2009|06:19 pm]

ready for paint
Photobucket

Well today marks the end of better than nine months of sweat, I got the the call that the lab tests were good.

i'm not sure if I really ever explained, but the apartment I have been working on is part of my studio building the tenants that lived there last year and the year before had a small child who tested high for lead levels in his blood,.. at that point, (it didn't matter that the lease states that the building is old and lead is present or that I was in the process of evicting them for a number of relevant issues) they became the interest of the state and the apartment came under an abatement order, (begin hoop jumping ).

As a benefit the state informed the tenants they needed to vacate,... they found a place and moved,... The licensed contractor who I had contacted gave me a verbal list of things that I could do without violating the codes about which this whole circus is premised upon,...

I guess he didn't think that I could do the whole list, because when they came back to work up a bid there was a bunch of hemming and such about too much work being done, and the contractor said he would be in touch,.. when the start date for what was left to do (mid-may) came and went I made calls and rattled cages the contractor showed up with more lame excuses, that boiled down to he wouldn't start till the state okayed the work I had done,...

upon calling the state (now mid-june) I explained the supposed problem and requested what could be done,.. to my surprise the representative suggested that we get a variance so I could complete the work myself,..cool so after almost another month (more hoop jumping) I with variance in hand began the process of finishing the work left before the final test could be preformed and the space cleared for habitation (it was always a nice space, just old ,and many of the “issues” with it were induced by the tenants misuse of the space)

last thursday the 19 th the inspection /lead test was done,... the visual passed with praise, and today the final results from the lab test were reported to me, all good,.. all the warning signs and notices came down,..the final hoops are now the state's,..one project i'm glad to have behind me,..

I'm home [Jul. 11th, 2009|07:56 am]

pursuing dreams superficially fed
the light exposed a path mislead
drawn to journey
seeing the strokes of a painted life
resolving tales of perceptual strife
fending blows of an emotional knife
coming to ground
spooning sheltered in my comfy bed
making love inside my head

none are responsible
beyond their take
the gates remain open
in the shadows wake

ever more projects [Jun. 19th, 2009|01:51 pm]
this is the "front" (as in, closest to the street) entry it was originally two narrow double doors you had to be a anorexic 16 yo to get through with a bag of groceries,while i loved the doors,(they are cached for some future project) they were heavy with old lead paint and it made sense in a number of respects to replace them,..


the inside trim work

the dark wood is the original cherry
when finished the new work will be stained to match.

these are the panels i made for the outside trim

tides behind membranes [Jun. 16th, 2009|06:57 pm]




Butterfly kisses
Phoenix fire
the dragon below the surface
called forth by desire

in eternity's shadow
the sun but a spark
and every resolute purpose
ultimately but a lark

held in amatory hands
the sparkle pulses true
and the crux of every question
is decoded to a view

thunder resounding
felicity in the promise
beatitude in shadowed visage

wet taste of chaos
distilled passion
running along my ribs

perturbation of the vision
truth rendered disarray
making flashes

Domains [Mar. 28th, 2009|11:18 pm]
“What do I do?” she asked as we sat facing each other.

“Nothing, just relax, this isn't a task or test” I replied, I held her head in my hands, fingers along her jawline, my thumbs caressing her closed eyes and cheeks, I could feel the nervousness melt away as the familiar touch softly coaxed her into a mellow state,.. then ,...I just stepped across, her mind was cluttered as most normal peoples are, but having done this before I knew what to look at there wasn't a lot of surprising things since we had known each other for a while, and I had tasted her mind often as we made love, since that's when many people broadcast the fullest,...

Not everyone, but even those who think they are private announce themselves, often in other ways, like the quiet ones,odd misfits that don't mingle, well, not all of them, many are drowning in their own insecurities, screaming in silent variegated frequencies to be noticed, pleading to be drawn from the mire that makes them reclusive, to those that see, they are as transparent as the overly gregarious that try to hide their vulnerability with noise and bravado,... There is a population that connects on a conscious level, often using the ability to manipulate and control, pulling the strings to make the unwary dance to their whim, sometimes maliciously but often not, .. Then there are those like myself who prefer to just watch, to stand on the sidelines and see the flux of humanity like trains that come and go in the hub of any big city,... It's not a case of not fitting in, it's more being purely a level of comfort with ones locus,whether it's chosen or not.

She could sense me acting the tourist within her thoughts, but then I tend to make my presence obvious in these situations bumping things that trigger the awareness of my being there,.. Tinted with a sense of wonder, she softy murmured, “You're in my head.”, and I felt her smile under my hands,. I was pleased that she was flowing in a positive way, as I figured she would when I proposed the game, wandering in someones head is pretty natural, ...Close your eyes and survey the inner realm of that space you think of as your consciousness and you will understand pretty much what it's like being in another's space, it's akin to walking into a unknown house, the arrangement is unfamiliar, but the fixtures are nothing that you can't understand, but of course most people avoid the unknown.

I surveyed in a quick pass her physical awareness, the warm presence of my hands and the mild thrilling of the feel of my knee along her thigh, I touched that, and smiling again, I felt her shift as she pressed against that connection,... I could feel the heat of the bruise where she had clocked herself with the cupboard door, and felt a momentary sympathetic wince,... I refrained from delving too deep, this was meant to be a pleasant game and I intended not to flush out any shadows that hid things that could trigger defensive reactions, it would be counter to my purpose.

She drew a deep breath and I knew what she was about to say,.. “I can't find you,... let me in?”,... She learned fast, it's not unusual to be able to cross abodes,.... once the process has been revealed, just like swimming, it clicks, then simply becomes a matter of refinement, ...Of course even with the inherent ability some never learn to swim.

“Let me in,..” there was the implied assertion that I was keeping her out that colored the words, and it was true, I shield very well, for good reason, but this was about trust,.. so I whispered, “Be careful “, and gave way to her probe,... Suddenly I was filled with her panic, all in a heartbeat she flailed and jerked away from my touch, and connection,... As I watched her compose herself her eyes wide and dilated, she looked at me and said,” You are all afire!” and she wrapped her arms around herself and shivered, as if cold,.. Shaking my head I said “No, that's just pain,... managed pain”,... I should have known being the sensitive she was that the hurt would be the first thing she connected with, and her reaction was understandable from that standpoint.

I put my hands out to her and she climbed into my embrace, with her face against my chest she said under her breath, “so much pain, I could feel it!...” looking up into my eyes she asked “How do yo bear it?”,.. With a chuckle I replied, “ I don't have much choice, now do I, it's been part of my life,... My whole life,... It's normal for me,.. Like anything, you learn it's ways or it consumes you.” ,...Putting her head against me as if listening to my heart, she shivered again and clung to me a bit harder,..I don't like it!” she stated in a little girl voice,... That set me to chuckling, and I tipped her face up and kissed her, “Nothing for it babe,.. let's go to bed, I think this day is a wash”,.. She was quiet for a moment then tangling her fingers in the wisps of my chest she pulled and said, “Promise we can do this again”,.. with a laugh I said,” Such a glutton for punishment!” and gathering her up I carried her into the bedroom.

Tomorrow would be another day,..tonight I would assuage the rigors of time in the sweet wash of her sensuality.

welcome to my la-bor-atory,... [Mar. 20th, 2009|09:57 pm]

Mad scientist?
naw just a bit ticked off,..;)

one of my isometric design sketches
Photobucket

not very refined, this one is a couple generations later than the one i built the prototype from,so has some improvements i've devised the drawings change often and they tend to get scribbled and spilled upon, typical evil lab stuff,.. plus when you have to be your own henchman the work tends to go slow,..i usually use recycled and found parts to build the test gear,..as well as the finished items ultimately,..


the prototype,...
Photobucket

It's not fully constructed yet. this is the stage where i was working out the details of amperage draw and the balance of electrolyte in the water, ...oh i haven't told you what this whole little enterprise is,... it's referred to as a hydrogen generator, but really it's a water disassembler,... it separates the oxygen and hydrogen,... by magic,... well let's just call it that, because if you understand what electrolysis is you already know what's going on and if not,... well it's magic, the full explanation is pretty involved and tends to bury the whole point,.. and I don't really want to get into the whole ions and protons and their whole bonding process,.. I mean some things are their own private matters,.. right?,.. right,..

Now where was I,.. oh yeah,.. this is one of my little energy projects with a multitude of potential uses but primarily it for two main uses, one to improve the fuel mileage on my truck and the other is for a unit called a “micro-torch” for precision jewelery work both of which I'll probably belabor you with as they develop, the bottom line here is one of the reasons I'm mad,.. well ticked , .. I'm pretty tired of hearing the whole oil shortage thing when in reality, everything that burns is hydrogen, and yeah theres lots of noise around it not being feasible yet,..which is so much bullshit,... it's all about money and not much else,...but anyway, I've been into self sustaining systems since I was able to read, and watch my grandfather heat the milk room with his own homemade hooch, (yeah, he also drank the stuff,...), there is no shortage of fuel, one just needs the wits to make it available,.. this is one of my processes,..:)
