Just been curious and ...... Well I feel bad bringing it up, but its kinda slowed down here on the site. I remember it being a pretty bustling place a way back. I know its prolly because of the membership stuff, but Im not complaining. Nothing it free in this world lol, knowledge has tons of value and this site has multiple costs too - totally agree with a subscription. It seems (my hypothesis) to have just drove out the riff raff so to speak and slowed everything down.

• Cancer battle 2018 Christmas & 2023 Christmas.

• Shop destroyed by landslide, May 29 2025.

• I am no longer capable of mechanical work for the public.

Slowly, I'm starting to do little things when my back and lower body allow me to do them. Then, the aftermath of getting a job done, like the injection pump, which turned into a mess of its own. 4 days of trying to work only when the weather is not threatening rain. Still very focused on getting the mess out of my yard. The spruce tree is nearly dead now from beetle kill. The yard is a mess and I don't even have a lawnmower since it was crushed by the north wall of the shop. My Fire Chief and his wife are going to setup up with there backhoe and start loading the trash out so I can clear the ground. Two trees to cut down. Then start loading dirt into the backyard level the ground out.

Then there was a period where all we had to manage the website was our cellphones and my laptop. I lost both desktop computers on the same day. It was difficult back then, since neither one of us had much income. Between my medical expenses and driving back and forth. Now we have all the computers replaced, then built a home server for the cameras, networking, and communications. Now I've have good PCs that can do serious work with no problems. Which is why I brought back my other business name of Cloud 10 Computers. I'm going to support the Linux realm and networking for anyone who wants a rock-solid PC and near bulletproof software. Don't judge too hard, I've got wiring to do, yet I have cameras to hang and ports to wire into the house.

Now, as for travel, we are already trying to fix up the RV for traveling to meet some of you. Like I know I need to plan a trip out to see that man listen to me whine about my cancer and all the BS I went through. I've been working on getting a few modifications done so we can dry camp with our CPAP machine and not worry about power. I've been designing an 800w solar roof setup for a dual battery system. Again, don't judge to harsh its a work in progress, and more cleaning up to come. I need room for the 200 AH LiFePO4 battery I'm going to stuff down here. The old Harbor Freight solar is being trashed and a new Bluetooth controller will be installed down here, tied to 2 AGM batteries on the tongue and then the LiFePO4 battery in this cabinet. @Tweety Bird and I tested this out last night, and it worked great so far. Now to do a full dry camping experience. My problem was that the original power wire from the batteries to the fuse panel was weak and dropping voltage quickly. Now upgrade to 6 AWG and a solid connection into the house, and the voltage is solid!

I might be quiet at times, I'm just so busy.

Even toss in a VP44 and tappet cover gasket on Beast. Dang cover was alreaady starting to leak and been doing good and the gasket feels pliable but is not sealing as well.

Now the DAP Wire Tap Warranty pump. Mine died after 200k or so miles with a violent key-off motion. P1689! Beast still brought the RV home from Boise without another complaint.

Beast is back up and running. RV is repaired. Even the server you guy play on is repaired. Even did about 4 hours of chatting with Google AI (Gemini) to find a few places to gain speed ofr the website and make it faster. Fixing code issues also found a few setting that were well MISSING. Whole config file for cahcing was missing.

Then I'm heading towards 3 years of daily makeup artistry now. Now, for all you if you're wondering about this. I met my wife wearing my black and blue wig and then black and blue makeup. Some of you may be going What? Well, Titanium was created to help me with depression, stress, and anxiety, which was crazy after coming out of surgery, and your doctor tells you you are going to die. He wasn't sure if I had cancer in my body moving past my bladder wall. Yeah, this scared me. I didn't handle this well alone and have some tell you that you might not make it. Ok, so why waste time? I went to party mode and enjoyed the idea of dressing in Goth styles. This is why my wife fell in love with me, between taking care of my mother with kidney failure and then battling bladder cancer twice. Even while at home for the day, I typically get up, shower and do makeup before leaving the house. Hence, all my posts of Titanium in that section. The fact I deal with this bag on my belly for the rest of my life. I found ways of dressing with mostly black I can hide it completely. Why be normal after all this. I'm allowed to go NUTS!

As I was after having my head stuffed in that little cabinet doing wire work. Wore my glasses so my nose art failed (Smeared).
