The other day I mentioned a little something about a new boat launch well there it is
the weather says no fishing today boy ( well hell ) a day off from family stuff
file the situation under some Mike Tyson lingo
“everyone got a plan until they get punched in the mouth”
and another thing comes to mind
the bastards want us to wear masks made in CHINA
to protect us from a virus made in CHINA
so people can go buy shit from walmart
that’s made in CHINA
( what the hell )
Before I get to the reason of this post wanna know something else about CHINA
as you know CHINA had a one child policy for many years,
they put more value on boy babies then girl babies
which means the natural order of things went way out of whack, say you are young horny chinaman that wants to marry, and have a family by the grace of the CHINESE government
but you cannot find a wife… simply because she doesn’t exit so here we are, CHINA is on the march for WORLD domination using horny chinamen coming to take our apply pie
so where does America draw the line…
some humor there on not a very humorous situation
moving on yet not finished with CHINA
don’t know if you know this
about 90% of the materials I use for leather crafting is made in America
the dyes, the threads , oils and conditioners even the hides
but there you have to inquire or you will get CHINA junk
the other day I noticed my scrap pile was getting out of hand ,I better make some small stuff for control purposes
put an edge on my skiver blade opps
Skiving is when you want to thin leather ( well hell)
you think that’s sharp, there’s a few I’d like to watch them run thier tongues over my kitchen knives
America could save a bunch money without having to go to Geico
for what I wanted that piece is trashed
but not garbage, can still make a couple key fobs
just respect for the animal as to not waste
I own some stuff from Simms fishin
( ok more then some stuff )
let’s do a match up of sorts
theirs can keep a can cold …but what do you with the can while out in bush when it’s empty?
mine can hold tinder or matches or other little things that need to stay dry or hold hot coffee or other liquids durabilty?
mine will will be around long after I’ve gone onto other adventures
I do have some items not made in America
such as this Made in America stamp and I use it
it’s made in Taiwan
ever see the protests on Taiwan
it’s not a Communist flag they march with
pretty cool seeing our standard displayed in such a way
that’s a Pantone color swatch book, all the colors you see are really just four colors
Red Blue Yellow Black
mixed in different parts
( parts ) a unit of measure
to attain the color one desires
Ever watch a child spot it’s first butterfly?
They bubble up with excitement as you smile for your part in thier excitement
there really isn’t much difference between a month & a butterfly , the fact that in English at least, society has different words and, indeed, very different attitudes to them is largely a cultural concept rather than a scientific one.
So there I was smiling an talking to menengaw
Aww come on little friend
I just cleaned that spot off and not for you
let me guess, you are smiling right now like a child seeing it’s first butterfly
You either smiling with me or at me
let’s put that to the test
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be truth
so which it people 🙂
While I having a talk with the menengaw
it’s then I realized it brought the answer I was looking for while out fishing
I’ll have to forgo the pattern on the wallet when I use the
Menengaw knew
Improvise, Adapt and Overcome
the Marine Corps ways of doing things
He’s known by many names
One day the Great Spirit
took all the beautiful colors from mother nature and put into a bag
shook it up really good when He had opened it in front of the children, colored butterflies flew out singing songs.
The children were in awe of the butterflies but the birds were envious of their singing voices so the Great Spirit took away their ability to sing.
That’s the question Todd answers in this weeks Project Farm test video.
