Internet is an issue still.  Iphone works ok.
Beginning a 4TB backup (of my electronic life) - I should not fill it but I could not pass up the deal for 4TB at $94.00

Trading could end up supplementing some of my trip as I would like ... just I would need a machine online and a person to attend it each week on Friday Shutdown, update and then Sunday Startup.
Or just have windows do that as it is built in.
Time will tell as the flow works.

Getting all my stuff into storage ... I trust I'll be the one unloading the schitt after the trail.  Much will change as it should.

At this juncture, of when I thought to convert anger into art, Guitar playing came to mind.

22+ years ago, I lost my hands, fingers, arms while playing guitar.
Was it for God or me, that is for the jury to decide ... but I can tell, my heart never wavered.  
With the arm snake move recently that Michael F. did in a song while wearing pig tails and a scout suit ... my fingers came back alive.

Now, years past a songs release, my hands and fingers bleeding ... I test on a Yamaha F-335 BL ... a new direction.  It sounds nice. :)

The strings will need to be replaced, so the blood stains are no biggie right now ... key is that there was a time and a place where my daughter and I were ... and I asked if I could have it since it was going to be left behind in her move if we could not fit in in the car ... well, it's here and I'm playing it ..... finally, many years later ....

"there's a crack in the gutter where a flower grows ... reminding me that everything is possible .. yeah, reminded me that nothing was impossible ... ya gotta live for the one that you love ya know, you gotta love for the life that you live you know singing: Hey, hey hey .... "

Almost like I never missed a lot of weeks of practice .... with a muscle memory that not always clicks with my brain .... a flow ... barre chords to start, I play thru Hey, Hey, Hey now every morning ... to wake up with a better frame of mind as I now have a desire to finger pick the song Life is Better with You ... this will take weeks of practice AFTER my shard, cut finger tips heal OR scar over.    love.

Pain is temporary ... a Phoenix comes from ashes.
In some ways I was not patient to become old.

********

Punchlines and reality

..... what do you want the gauge or the fruit to say? 
I can make that happen but the impossible just takes a little time.

There was a time in my career when precision was not an option.
It was a full time requirement.
Transitioning to the civilian unemployment force after 16 years of precision instruments and exact federal requirements and data ...
falling into society sucked.
People are inherently not as motivated as many would desire or like.  Levels of motivation.
Navy seal motivation - pain helps.
High School motivation ... should end in high school.

Joke:
Do you know why the desks in 2nd grade are so small?
So that we don't desire to go back there.

Now, years later, I'm an angry pissed off old dude who was an angry pissed off  abused toddler, teen, to a top notch sailor after being a complete fuck up and then adult phase hits and my two adorable children ... watching a man melt down as they build up.

Not a great teeter tauter to witness ... our home - the FUN in dysfunctional ... just like everyone else.

Cutting it short due to throbbing hands.
Back to clearing my past before I create my new future.

Things don't "JUST HAPPEN" ... things Happen Just.
Love Requires Sacrifice ... Always.

I've uncovered my past few schitt years of paperwork I buried.
Including the closure of the first corp. 
In that time capsule was my notes as I've been going forward in pain ... today was so ironic ... I've had no feelings in my hands and arms for 22 years .... then it came back a few years back and has been on and off with the joint still finding it's way in my sleep ...

Well, a few days back, I was just trying some arm/shoulder moves and my neck POPPED! .... feelings back lately ... and today ... for sure as it would happen to be the day I lacerated 4 of my fingers trying to catch a glass in the sink the moment it shattered ... hand went thru the cut glass.  

Not my first rodeo ... but it was on the first task of the day.
I don't plan accidents ... they happen  ... I'm on a task time line ...

Next ... bandaids, electrical tape and kept at it .. task number infinity ... 

Then the internet goes down ... well, gives me a chance to think.

So I'll keep this one short.

*******

 

I think I might have some shard of glass still in a few digits and will soak and then tooth brush scrub to make sure they heal clean. .... a long day and the tips of a few others got nicked ... just happens sometimes.

*****
Life, like hiking will have it's ups and downs.
Today, it had a few boo boo's thrown in ... kinda like hiking.

So, I fall back again on my friends advice ... take the pain and make art ... I've drawn things in blood before but that was an Indian thing.

So, now that I've been battle tested by life, I have to think about my future ... all the way past the diaper stage I understand to be coming ... and I began reading a few books I had from that era of my existence on this spinning orb we all call Earth ... 

opps. 4 keys need cleaning ... I've now seen it all as a technician ... typing till the fingers bleed .... I like my new career.
It calms me to write and trade ... and soon wonder while wandering .... also, the 3d print farm calls ... time to set up another round ...
Mountain side like.

Goal:

Build a financial robot for hiking is what has been crossing my mind lately.  Now that the built in Moving average Expert tried to work today .... drat that internet!!! 
That's like cursing gravity or muscle reaction in a sink area ...
can't do it.  Internet is internet.

The book?
Being right or making money, 
revised edition 2000  Ned Davis Research

I was told as I was purchasing it that it was a personal gift from a friend of his to personal friends of his and the dude was dead ...

So I shared that some of his friends must have died too cuz their familys are selling the book on ebay and amazon with only a few copies out there still .... class got halted for a moment.

I'll share a learning story soon.

Moving forward,
at my pace on my schedule, with what I have ... an iPhone ... lol

This is what I find odd:
A friend ... can trust you for your intellect up to a point.

then ... who knows what happens.

Just like LOVE has a habit of leaving overnight.

The intelligence that I'm praised to have stops at my research of Time, Space, GOD, Atoms & Adams & Addams, Quarks and the Universe.

I desire nothing but the best for my friend but alas, I believe the DNA of the family genes will get to them first .... Alzheimer's.
There seems to be a running theme in their tribe.

There will come a day when I am unknown ... not sure I'm ready for that day yet ... I know I'll cry ... sucks having a good memory.

**********
Gary Bebington writes in his book: Trading for Love
This Concept: Impression of Increase.  

"... that the desire for increase is inherent in all nature.
It is the fundamental impulse of the universe.
All human activities are based on the desire for increase.
People are always seeking more food, more clothes, better shelter, more luxury, more knowledge, more pleasure - 
more life.
Every living thing is under the necessity for continuous advancement.  
Where increase of life ceases, dissolution and death set in at once.
People instinctively know this, and hence they are forever seeking more."

Going forward:   I'm being encouraged to do the following -

Convey the "Impression of Increase" to every 

man, woman and child with whom I
come in contact and that no matter
how small the transaction, 

(or meeting), 

put into "IT" 

the thought of increase 

and make sure that 

the customer 

(or stranger) 

is impressed with

 the thought.

Take pride in this and you will never have a lack of customers 

(or friends) .

**********

Jus Cuz someone (like a friend) might be right in how many times they have told another "something" of "their Perceived" importance .... but the individual that everyone is trying to correct can only be corrected by it's source.  

The others are actually wasting time they could be working on themselves but ... Hey, Hey, Hey  ... no matter how life is today ... I have to hike my own hike and not give a rats ass what others think about me.  100 crunches and 60 modified push ups to go before coffee ... Doing my own.

I can never do what any one can desire for me to do ... I'm not Pinocchio ... lol ...  I cut my strings a LONG time ago.

I truly do have potential ... and now I have kinetic.
It feels good to dance again!  
Hurts but feels good in a different way.

With that, I'll leave today to process itself.
I have begun to close off to some of those I love ... trust and lost trust ... it was inevitable.

And the others read the thoughts here until they are not ... thoughts or here.

Feb 1975
I was 14.
Snowy Owl I asked for (from a friends album cover) flew to me one day as I was riding to scouts ... it was beauty I witnessed.

I'm not sure of the day but I do remember it swooping down to land on top of a telephone pole ... looked just like the Rush Album Cover .... that is why I purchased that album.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fly_by_Night_(album)

***
The snowy owl is the symbol of endurance. It represents big dreams along with the ability to achieve them. 
It is the sign of new beginnings and moving forward with all might. 
Other than that, it tells us about psychic ability, illumination, support, inner knowing, sacrifice, family, clarity, and legacy.

As for my Red Tailed Hawk ... I shared that Birthday Story back when I could barely walk and needed a wildlife sighting ... back then the Red Tailed Hawk  ....  Failed getting the squirrel  ... Today, it circled above my family as 3 were leaving for one to travel by plane ... I was clearing my Schitt still ... I can see the floor and hopefully will have it all done tomorrow, wall included.

https://www.spiritanimal.info/hawk-spirit-animal/

Seneca Tribal Elder ... friend of mine ... noticed I get along with nature very well.
Having all three look me in the eyes, Snowy Owl, Eagle and Red Tail Hawk ... the Hawk is my Favorite and came to me on my Birthday ... that sealed the deal for me. 
  
Don't get me wrong, the eagle was cool and was viewed while Penny and I were leaving NYS where the Thruway cuts across tribal land ... that made that sighting special .... it sealed a decision for us to move back to NYS for her Mother when the time was due.

Atoms are smaller than DNA oddly enough. 
We all are atoms ... not adams.  :(

I'll begin to play with what I know can be played with.
Work with what I understand.
Harmonic Balance with the World ... I have to start there.
Small steps but with better tools now since Valentines Day 2020.
My heart opened up a bit ... thanks World Collective and Mike F.
Your songs help.

As for hiking... I'm really stoked to be going to Springer in a few weeks to see the send off of the "Bubble".
I'll pick up the traditional rock to carry to Maine and I'll also be able to carry one from Maine back to Georgia.
I'm going to go above and beyond and do a swap at the highest and lowest points too just for giggles.

Moving forward

Getting the anxiousness of the trip in my whole being.
After yesterday's full events .... I can toss everything that does not need to find me when I get off the trail ... research material I've uncovered.

I've also closed a door to "The Trek".  It was a great offer just I'm not the right person for that kind of thing right now.

Haphazardly, I placed books, tapes of all sorts, DVD's, CD's and notes on book shelves to gaze at ... see what jumps out .... and lo an behold - I picture emerged.

Like a moment I took with Professor Bays in Radford VA.
His work was being displayed in the Library.
His work is odd and its for healing.
His work is his expression of his pain.
Here's a link to a quick back story

Richard explained to me that although his head was not on correct always, he still has to pay the bills like everyone else.
His story paid his life ... one picture at a time.
Love Yourself

Now I'm starting to get into the Woo Woo of life since nothing else of government structure resembles sanity.
So if it looks all like a nightmare, then I might as well dream sweet dreams for myself using their "NEW" rules.

The departments in shambles that have had now a few years of unmanaged care ... because of a Force that is very ignorant ...
Ripe for Exploitation.  Just like the fat one wanted.

Well, this guy noticed.
Thanks Don for opening the doors to the vaults that will take a few years to close all the loopholes.

I appreciate it.  I realize he will never see it but ...

I wish you Don and your families, wives, kids and cronies all the trumpy best as you are showing us your "Be Best" examples for us all to follow.

(Dips and Wankers the Trumps ... I wish them well)

**********

That is one word I've never looked up before ... belligerent.
I've been called it many times so I thought I would see my name as the definition today ... I was mistaken ... it's not me.

I'm going to say that belligerent is physical and yes I can be if needed.  The rest is show ... be larger than the bear in volume.
Hiking and woods safety ... I just used it in people spaces too much.

If Pavlov's dogs are in us ... I think fight or flight is in us ... and bear scat too ... lol.

*********

Now wolves .... feeding frenzies .... sharks ....me.
They have not met me .... yet.

The markets that consume and rock with emotion.
I like my chances now ... We have a Team.

Thanks to the help of my entire family, coming together to assist .... my legacy is to leave them what I came to this earth to do ... 

I just have to finish doing it ... lol.

I'm going to allow the Wolves and Sharks to add to my account, all that they freely give and as often as they give ... cyclic in practice ... like clockwork  .... turtle like.

Spoiler: the turtle wins the race.
A story that most likely was written by a trader but I'm no expert on Grimm Tales or Nursery Evening Short stories so it's a guess.

Peter and the Wolf:  I was a fan of the bird in the story.

With a name that is a lead in children's books, it is normal for parents to OVER READ some stories to their kids.
Peter Rabbit
Peter Pan

Peter and the Wolf

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha! ..... I'm petered out.

That is why, when the kids in town growing up called me "Zak" cuz they could not pronounce my last name .... and they did not want to use my first name ..... blessings from heaven.

I just kept it throughout most of my careers.
I knew a guy named R.Wayne Smith.
Since he did not like Bob .... and I could not blame him ... he was R.Wayne.

From that, I learned I could be called anything that I desired as an adult "IF" I wanted.  

Zak won after my last name came off of my underwear and shirts .... when I left the military.

Now, I'm Pete again and at a "shifting point" in my life.
Trying to loose the "Dodd" moniker and be "Just Dad" again.

Kindle McGuinness is for the hiking stuff ... Piotrus might come off the trail and move forward  .... Phoenix like.  

I shall see.
We all, on a global scale might benefit me helping myself to the fruits of our labor .... round rocks for wheels to electronic trails ... I like the advancement of tools ... might think up a few for the future.

Robinson like ....
Keep Moving Forward.
