The Sasquatch is being punish for something, I'm not exactly sure what/why. It's been crazy lately. Anger issues at the job led to me putting a hole in a wall after tripping on some boxes. I left that job for sanity reasons. The little brother was camped out at Mom's, risking her losing her apartment and housing money. Water main blew up. We didn't have a driveway for a little bit. The apartments across the street flooded on the bottom(below ground) level. Some cars behind the building got flooded because of a short barrier wall trapping water. My uncle Andrew committed suicide on June 27th. I know his financials weren't great, but no worse than anyone else with debts. Bad enough that the family is just maybe starting to be ok after Grandma's death two years ago. Many people came to his funeral, with a friend giving the service. I wish he would've talked to someone, maybe he'd still be here.


Tuesday I dislocated my 2nd toe. I guess I'm the age where I need to sit to apply/ remove pants. I've reduced it and taped it. Have to wait till Friday to see a doctor for xrays and such. Luckily I can hobble and the pain is minimal if I'm sitting and ok-ish if I'm standing. Less than 2 hours after hurting my self, I get an email for a phone interview, LOL. Maybe I can at least get a letter from the doctor.


Steam stops working for Windows 7 at the end of the year. I guess I should probably move to Win10 or something. I used 10 everyday at the job before last, and I know I don't like it. No clue what I might do for a photoshop option.

So I'm a mostly full-time locksmith now. Work exhausts most of my creative energies. It exhausts the regular energies too. It's basically a retail job. Imagine if your waiter/waitress also had to cook your food on top of taking your order too. Also while trying to make sense of what it is you'd like/ need to eat. It's really not a bad job. Just can be really frustrating not being able to sit down for a break when I need to. My legs hurt everyday. Did get to go to Phoenix last spring for an automotive locksmithing trade show. Unfortunately it looks like it was going to be the last one that group will have. Boss does a presentation every year about the history and workings of sidewinder keys and locks.


The white car is nearly ready to go again. It got a replacement transmission and a new gas tank. It has been down for the last 3 years. I had to steal its gas tank and carburetor to put on the red car after it rusted a leak. The poor red car now is at 203 thousand miles, and is 42 years old now. Red car also leaks when it rains, and has large holes in the floor boards. It's in really rough shape and is deserving of its coming retirement.


While the white car is far from perfect, cars I fit in at all are quite hard to find. That Nissan NV 200 looks to be a ideal-ish vehicle for everyday use and maybe for working out of. They discontinued them in '19-20 unfortunately. i could maybe make an Econoline work, but that's an even larger vehicle than my cars. I have enough problems working my car in the parking lot here at home.


The little brother is now extra homeless. His car that he was living in got towed of for being inoperable. Dad tried to get it started and even offered to tow it to the farm for repair. No one has any clue what to do with him. He seems to actively choose the wrong thing every time. As far as i understand he potentially had the chance to grab things from the car before it got towed, but he did not. He's down to what he was wearing. I've been going to Al-Anon because It tears me up thinking about him. Sometimes I can't manage to take care of myself.


Hopefully there can be some art for 2023. I have a new computer that I've not jumped to yet. I don't like change. It's a Win10 pc and my current is Win7. I also need to find a Photoshop style program to work from. I have no problem giving Adobe money, but it looks like you have to keep giving them money on a subscription basis.

My google account got hijacked this weekend. They changed all the contact/ recovery info. Not sure if it will ever be possible to recover it. Damage at the moment is mostly limited to the lost google account, closing of my ebay, paypal, amazon accounts, can never log in to my tinkercad account again - there goes lotsa hours of random models. I had to get a new phone. Google allows you to remote-brick your phone if you think it's lost or stolen. Good for that I guess, but every tool has evil uses too. Good thing i was close to home and not out of town.

Have spent hours on hold trying to reach various customer services to get things fixed. Google won't help at all, I have been hung up on and given wrong info.

Not certain, most android devices don't really work unless you have google. Can't get any apps anyways. Not sure if there is a way to have a google account but not tie the phone to it in any way.

I wish I could lock these people out of their houses and cars and then register them with other info. And then when they want help, just give them shitty articles and worthless online "tools".

Can't even use this site and many others with out googles fingers in it, like captchas.
