    Practice, organization and planning.

    I installed a parachute hammock at the cottage, jumped in and ended up in the same situation as the comic.

    I had to first learn to get in and out safely.

    Then I built a small shelf i could place drinks on when reaching from the hammock.

    Then I had to remember to bring my book, pillow, blanket, phone, headset and anything else with me for my hammock session.

    The only thing that interrupts me now is a toilet visit … but I’m not installing toilet facilities in the hammock.



  • All throughout history it’s our young people who are brave enough to stand up to fascism, authoritarianism and oppression.

    I ride a motorcycle, an old BMW and I named her Sophie. I don’t plaster it all over the bike, it’s just a silly thing I do for myself to remind me of the past. The name is after Sophie Scholl, a young 21 year old university student who stood up and protested against the Nazi regime in her country in 1943.

    Even in the face of severe punishment she kept protesting until they arrested her and put her to death.

    This young man is giving up so much, maybe giving up their future, to fight for all of us … there is no greater bravery than that.

    Death is not that far away in a home shop or garage

    Last year I had some trouble with my air compressor. It was a small double tank portable unit that kept hissing with a loose connector. I put up with it for months, then I finally looked at it. It was a high pressure line leading to the regulator that was about to explode … if it had broken off, it would have launched the whole regulator unit like shrapnel into my face or hands like a small grenade.

    I junked the whole thing and bought an even bigger compressor with a 40 gallon tank. Now my worry is that if this tank ever explodes, it will take me out and half the garage.

    Torvalds could assemble a system by collecting old outdated electronic junk from a trash heap and make it work

    Tech Bro needs to convince million dollar investors (or his wealthy parents) to finance his latest setup in order to install the latest Windows or Mac OS … without money to buy new shiny things and proprietary software, he’s totally lost

    I ask my wife to check on me once in a while when I’m in the garage.

    Most accidents in the garage happen really quietly. It’s like when people drown … deadly things can happen without a sound ever made or not much sound.

    I’ve heard of guys getting stuck under their vehicles because they ignored basic caution and thought they could get away with a risky situation.

    I know two mechanics that dropped their vehicle from a hoist, and one of them were killed.

    So many things in a garage that can casually kill or maim you

    • Air tools or air compressors
    • drills drill presses
    • saws for wood or metal
    • grinding wheels
    • lathe
    • welding equipment
    • presses or jacking equipment moving heavy weights or generating lots of force
    • chemicals and not knowing how dangerous they can be
    • carbon dioxide or other substances displacing oxygen

    … and that’s just in a garage … the dangers increase when you start wood working construction or renovations in, on, under or near a house
