No I Didn't Fall Off of a Cliff...

Posted by on Jul 29, 2023 in About, My Rants, Ramblings & Daily Updates
This was originally posted on two other Social Media sites, I'm going to catch up this web page and start posting here again. There will be several rapid fire postings.

People have been wondering if I fell of the side of a cliff or something. I’ve been really busy. First the personal side and in a day or so the election side of things.
The TLDR version: So many things were broke around here and in bad shape due to a total lack of attention, that I had to start addressing them. The shop and some of the tools were in bad enough shape that I had trouble fixing stuff, so it was pretty a pretty involved process to get things back on track.
The TMI version: In august of ‘19 my military retirement started and we restarted a slow, but what I expected to be continuous progress on the home improvement and renovation thing. As 2020 got underway, it became difficult to do much due to COVID, but by later in the year things loosened up some. My grandson wanted to have his wedding rehearsal here in October of '20, and that was incentive to get some big things done.
The yard was looking really good, but we also needed the garage, so we unceremoniously moved all the garage stuff into the shop area making the shop look like a really badly kept storeroom. We finished the dividing wall between the shop and garage, and the garage was looking pretty good. The event went well. We then brought in building materials and placed them in the garage floor to prepare to finish out that side of the building. Then the election happened.
I didn’t look into any of it for about three days, but once I did, I kept finding things that indicated trouble. Serious trouble. I seemed to be able to find lots of basis for claims of fraud where the media could find none. This became the only thing that Brewster worked on. The garage has building materials in it to trip over, the shop is totally unworkable, and things are breaking - but I’m on a mission. Today we have lots of evidence and information, but really no progress in bringing fraudsters to justice, and that has been frustrating. Very frustrating - but you can't quit. If you quit they win. They are playing the long game.
My heat pump went out over the winter and because we were preparing for the legislative session and court cases, we ran on strip heat for at least a couple of months. Probably more like three. I had the parts and materials on hand, and when I finally could give it some time it got fixed with the help of Danny Goss.
At about that same time, I did one little project, on one drawer in my main toolbox and it looked good. I found myself going out to look at it often which seemed strange even to me. Then it hit me. I’d actually accomplished something. I used to accomplish a lot, but for two years, nothing. When we fixed the HP and this drawer was organized. I relearned how much I like visible progress.
This brought attention to just how much was broken and needing attention around here and how hard it was to accomplish anything in the mess we had created and not cleaned up. The yard suffered great set backs last year and looks like crap, my mower is broke and has been for months. I’m paying to have the lawn done, the refrigerator has leaked water for months and so we shut it off and are using ice trays. I had a dripping faucet and leaking drain that went without attention for weeks and the drain was clogged in the freezer and we were creating glaciers in it. I literally had to twist, turn, and squeeze my way around the shop. I can't tell you how much I hated that situation.
As the lawsuits concluded and the legislative season ended, these things have become my main focus. We’ve accomplished a lot, but I’m still not where I expected to be by the end of 2020. Some things are in better shape, and others have deteriorated from where they were then.
I hope to be able to reengage in the fight in a meaningful way over the next month or so, and then have some kind of balance going forward.

My Personal Goals and Policies in the Election Integrity Fight

Posted by on Mar 28, 2022 in About, My Rants, Ramblings & Daily Updates

I wish to be very clear about my my intentions and associations in the election integrity fight.

My goals are to do effective audits of any and all elections, and to overturn any results that are proven to be fraudulent with a particular emphasis of the 2020 presidential election. I further expect to make all of our elections as open, honest, transparent, and auditable as possible.

08/09/2023 update: I worked some with Senator Bob Hall at the beginning of the legislative session and he has used the mantra of Accuracy, Transparency, & Accountability as his desired goals for elections. I like that well enough that I have adopted it as a simple statement of my goals in this movement.

I do not claim any particular expertise, but I am a very competent technician with more than 40 years of experience in a variety of areas including aircraft maintenance, automotive maintenance, the installation and repair of security systems', video distribution, and computer networks and some HVAC maintenance experience.

I have considerable experience in all aspects of operations management at the street and second levels.

Although I do work with or share information with other individuals or groups, I maintain independence. If I should publish information or speak on a subject I am doing so in my name only. I do not speak or publish under anyone else's authority. I am not on anyone else's team. If a group publishes something and wishes my endorsement of that publication, it needs my signature on it or my specific agreement to do so.

Others are welcome to use what I publish as long as they do not mischaracterize my positions or our relationship.

I expect integrity from everyone that I deal with, I expect my wishes as to what I will and won't do to be respected, and you will only get one opportunity to betray my trust.

I'm nobody special - justsomeguy with a lot of opinions and right now I need an outlet for them. I've also realized that there are a lot of people out there that think that things aren't right in our country but didn't have time to look for information and the legacy media certainly isn't giving it to them. I'm not smarter than anyone else, but I am retired and I had the time to look into things that my experience told me weren't right. I've tried to pass information to people but for a lot of reasons information and data is spread in the four winds and there is so much of it, that it's difficult to aggregate.

This is my feeble attempt to bring information together and I'm afraid I have a very late start and that isn't making it any easier.

Thanks for your attention and while I'll try to arm you with information, this fight is on all of us including you. My background is mostly as an aircraft mechanic, but I also have several years of low level management and supervision experience in aircraft maintenance, automotive maintenance, warehousing and HVAC contractor supply. In the course of those endeavors, I've been involved in process control and I've worked with numbers a great deal while managing inventory and sales into the low millions. Some people get a feel for numbers that don't look right and I'm one of them. All the numbers involved with this election stink and I haven't found an election authority that has impressed me with their process controls yet.
