    Decluttering today.  No, not decluttering.  Procrastinating about decluttering, that's what I'm really doing right now.  But I am going to make either some iced tea or iced coffee and get out there now.  In 5 10 20 25 minutes.  Okay, maybe a half hour.

    Oh wait, I could turn this on its head.  I will go out now and declutter.  I'll still procrastinate, because it's what I do.  But I'll procrastinate LATER.  Which means I'm procrastinating right now about procrastinating later.

    I like that.  But it only works if I go off to declutter right now, which is what I'm doing...

    I spend a great deal of time planning to declutter. With luck I'll be able to move from the planning stage to the pre-implementation stage. And from there to benefit analysis stage...

    Oh wow you're good.  I bow to your expertise!cheeky

    Now wait a minute!  Just hold your horses!  Jiminy Crickets!  Keep your shirt on!

    Okay, now that I got all my mom's favorite sayings out of the way...

    That render is really good!  The only thing I'd do is flip the image upside down.  And that's only because gravity should pull hair, and um, "boingy" body parts downward, not upward.  Re-examine the upper girl and you'll see what I mean.

    But yeah, really good.

    Complaint:  Last week I related a story about being trapped in the wilds of central NY State with an unremovable gas cap, requiring a truck mechanic with big muscles and an array of sequentially bigger tools that eventually succeeded in completely destroying the gas cap but effectively removing it from my filling spout.  Yay?frown  After the fortuitous purchasing of a proper gas cap from a miraculously open auto supply store on a Sunday, I was on my way home and no longer fretting about having to have my car towed 100 miles because I couldn't remove the $###$%# gas cap!indecision

    It's been a week and I've been on a couple mini-adventures and my gas tank needed filling again today (can you see what's coming?)indecision  I drove east to the Indian reservation to get my cheap (no tax) gasoline and at the pump a young guy came out (they don't let customers pump their own gas) and I relayed the story of the gas cap to him and warned him to be careful about making sure it was being inserted correctly and to not cross-thread it or miss the alignment key slots.  So, after paying my bill inside the little store I returned to my car and drove off to have a most excellent lunch at Burger King 10 miles up the road.  As I got out of the car at BK I said to myself, "Self, you better check that gas cap!"  Sure enough, I could not for the life of me get that cap to unscrew.  Now purple with rage I fumed all during my Whopper meal and planned my speech to the kid who had screwed me (pun intended) again.angry  All sorts of mean things to say went through my mind but I finally decided on just driving in and asking him politely to remove my gas cap.  And when he would fail I would have said "Remember me asking you to not force my gas cap?  Did you think I was just some old fogey talking at you just to hear himself speak?"devil  But, perhaps fortunately, the same kid was not there and an older guy was attending the pumps now but I politely relayed the story, using twenty-seven 8x10 color, glossy, photographs with circles and arrows on them and singing in three part harmony to him about the gas cap saga.  This encouraged him so that with some effort he was able to finally get the cap off again and this time I watched him put it back on without having to force it.  If it comes off easily the next time then I can be assured that it is the way that people jam it on that buggers it up, not the cap itself.  Life is too short to be worrying about gas caps.sad

    You seem technically/mechanically inclined, so I hesitate to mention this because some folks get annoyed when you suggest something they already know, but I also know you are kind and patient too... (okay, maybe... sort of... I think) but anyway... on some autolocomobiles, particularly ones made in the late 90s to early 00s, the gas caps have a stupid habit of failing. The gizmo inside that prevents you from over tightening the cap just falls apart... you probably noticed that the cap clicks and stops tightening after only a short twist, but will grab and start turning open in the other direction... Fords seem prone to having the (ratchet?) mechanism disintegrate making it spin in both directions resulting in a cap that is impossible to remove without 50 tools... Dodge/Chrysler seemed to have a flaw where the mechanism would freeze up resulting in a cap that could easily get stuck (not click, lock up)... and of course once you applied too much force, that would break resulting in an infernally spinning cap...

    I think you said you have an early 00s Buick, and I’ve never helped anyone with a problem GM cap (other makes I’ve fixed though), but you might have some variation of that problem on your car... technically the cap on any late 80s to present vehicles should never be able to be over tightened because they all should have that feature where once it is sufficiently tight, the cap clicks and rotates without tightening. If it can be over tightened, it’s essentially broken and should be replaced...

    You are right about this.  There's NO WAY to overtighten a gas cap.  Something else is messed up.  It's one of these:

    • The car's vapor recirculation function isn't working correctly and now it's just sucking so hard the cap is just being held in place by vacuum.  I vote for this one.  If I'm right, expect it to cost a pretty penny.  Twice.  Once to fix it, and the second time to fix what the tech broke.
    • The cap is wrong for the car.  (It should click when you tighten it enough)
    • The car is wrong for the cap.  (Take this to mean whatever you want)

     I'd probably just sell the car and keep the gas cap.  You're probably better off.  cheeky

    It was gas caps or me writing about that kangaroo again... so... I chose gas caps because I’m pretty sure everyone is sick of that story by now.

    Please, not the kangaroo again!  Can't you have any nice friends who don't hop around carrying rolled up quarters in a sock?  wink

    I forgot which image it was... probably one of my Ms Goodbody and so forths... Yes... I can see why gravity may be inverted in that one. Mostly it is because I can't get the hair on Ms Goodbody (played by Karen 7) to blow back properly. The hair was supposed to be blowing away from the center but I suppose I could rotate the image and put Ms Goodbody on top... Or maybe just a bit... like so...

    Isn't it amazing that when you're standing on the beach looking out at the horizon, that it's always so precisely level?  How does it know?  You'd think that the south end would slope down a bit.surprise  Just look at a globe.  It's obvious.devil

    If you pay attention, you can see the curve of the globe very slightly.  Try this...watch when a ship first appears on the horizon.  A sailboat for instance...you see the top of the sail first, then eventually the rest of the ship, top down.  I think this would be even more pronounced if you use a good pair of binoculars.

    I do especially love the views from the ISS, though.  No question, there.

    Dana

    I know that the Earth curves as you go away from shore.  Numerous "flatearth" debunkers have convinced me of that because of the sailboat mast thing.  But left & right of me it looks so level.  I think I'll start an on-line idiot theory about the Cylinder Earth where you'd fall off if you went to the poles.enlightened  To see if get any followers.surprise  And when we have our first convention, I'll stand on the podium and speak to the assembled disheveled through the giant amplification system, and shout "MY PEOPLE...THE POLAR ADVENTURES WERE FAKED IN A WAREHOUSE IN TEXAS!"devillaugh

     

    Disclaimer: The following “information” is meant to be interpreted in a satirical manner only and is not meant to be taken seriously by anyone.

     

    Actually...  You don’t fall off the ends... the open ends of the cylinder emit cylindrium particles which flow inward, sort of like how electromagnetic induction turns a motor (ssssh, it’ll make sense later)... because the earth cylinder is rotating the “cylindramatic induction” draws a vortex of etherium waves across the open ends... this creates an inverse cylindramatic effect which instantly transports anything that crosses the field to the exact opposite side of the cylinder simulating the effect most people and polar bears mistakenly assume to be traversing the top of a spherical ballish shaped land mass. 

    Furthermore due to a reaction from aurora borealis particles and air molecules excited by negatively charge polar bear fur trapped in the atmosphere, sunlight rays striking the open ends of the cylinder are distorted, creating a warped lens-like effect that makes the ends look very round... almost spherical... this has confused many people into believing the earth is actually round.

    In 1889 cylinderologist Alberich Günternibelungen was able to use a crudely fashioned magnetic gate to deflect the effects of the cylindrium and allow him to follow the surface of the earth down into the opening of the cylinder... What he found was a fantastic world where magical beasts and mythological beings exist entirely separate from the laws of outer cylinder... His all but forgotten book “Ich Bin Nicht Verrückt, Die Welt Ist Ein Zylinder!”, (“Inside The Cylinder World”) chronicles his travels and adventures. 

    Sadly ten years after finishing his book in 1901, Günternibelungen died in poverty in a São Paulo asylum for lunatic lepers with syphilis, without ever being able to prove to the world what he saw... The ability to travel to the inner cylinder was lost to the world when his notes, diagrams and blueprints were burned along with his festering corpse by the asylum nuns several days after his death. Some to this day find it very suspicious that he was killed by a donkey that fell from the asylum’s roof, and believe he was murdered by the Illuminati to cover up their connection to the powers of the inner cylinder.

    You know LG, this is a great opportunity here... with your scientific background and charismatic down-to-earthness and my ability to make up s- -t on the fly, I think we can cash in on the global move towards epic stupidity and rejection of science... Heck I think your first speech at the aforementioned convention probably cures cancer and can reduce the listeners’ weight more than liposuction or exercise... 

    You can be the next Elond Cubbard... or whatever his name was... “Cylindernetics” can be a whole new movement to suck up all the loose cash gullible dummies haven’t already handed over to Nigerian princes and casino slot machines!

    I see books, conventions, weight loss powders, nutritional supplements and special footwear in this...

    It depends on whether we are looking at them from the side or from above. And also whether they are in  a regular gravitational field. I thought the overall composition worked quite well in its original orientation, more dynamic than twisted a quarter circle..

    The kangaroo was not my friend, he is the one that robbed a liquor store... you are thinking of the surly drunken Penguin with the quarters.

    In his defense he was going to the arcade when that incident occurred, so it’s just the grand theft auto thing that is really an issue with him... and in all honesty, can you blame him for taking a car that someone left running? In Penguinia, it’s a socialistic society where penguins share vehicles freely and leaving an unoccupied vehicle running is an open invitation to share.

    I think if I rotate it I'll need to reposition the blonde and possibly change her pose a bit. Or get the hair move where I want it to be.

    That’s very ethical and open minded of you to consider the feelings of the festering laundry... but beware, sometimes socks and underwear can run off and find new places to live... we have a colony of Sockpanties (hybrids that came from some stray panties and socks that hooked up in the early 00s), that are living in the cemented up coal chute in the basement.

    I feel like I am turning blue.

    You could be suffering from Smurf Poisoning... If you eat salad often, check to make sure no smurfs have been accidentally tossed in with the greens.

    Most people check for caterpillars and mouse feet, but few notice chopped up smurf...  even a small amount of smurf can turn one’s hair blue, cause uncomfortable nose hair growth and even hallucinations... large doses can lead to Gargamelia or worse.

    non complaint  febbreeezz. is amazing stuff.  the black dirt that came in with the flood left stains on the carpet. can live with stains is the smell is better with febreeze.  it wasnt regular dirt, was the black mulch soil they put under their bushes beds.  it stank up the yard pretty powerfully when they first installed it. 

    vaccuumed the kitchenette floor, a zwiffa mop aint gonna help, needs a hands and knees scrubbinf
    oh my aikin back.

    i only see a couple words on aiko3.com  think it started out with good intentions.

     

     

    Black mulch shouldn’t stink... I think they buried a dead body in the flower bed.  You should take a shovel and dig around a bit in there... corpses can have amazing valuables left behind in their pockets... jewelry, cash, cursed amulets... you could even sell the body to a medical school... though that was more common in the 1800s.

    As long as the body wasn’t from some super secret government research facility and isn’t about to go full brain eating zombie, you should be good to rifle through its garments.

    I know that the Earth curves as you go away from shore.  Numerous "flatearth" debunkers have convinced me of that because of the sailboat mast thing.  But left & right of me it looks so level.  I think I'll start an on-line idiot theory about the Cylinder Earth where you'd fall off if you went to the poles.enlightened  To see if get any followers.surprise  And when we have our first convention, I'll stand on the podium and speak to the assembled disheveled through the giant amplification system, and shout "MY PEOPLE...THE POLAR ADVENTURES WERE FAKED IN A WAREHOUSE IN TEXAS!"devillaugh

     

    Disclaimer: The following “information” is meant to be interpreted in a satirical manner only and is not meant to be taken seriously by anyone.

     

    Actually...  You don’t fall off the ends... the open ends of the cylinder emit cylindrium particles which flow inward, sort of like how electromagnetic induction turns a motor (ssssh, it’ll make sense later)... because the earth cylinder is rotating the “cylindramatic induction” draws a vortex of etherium waves across the open ends... this creates an inverse cylindramatic effect which instantly transports anything that crosses the field to the exact opposite side of the cylinder simulating the effect most people and polar bears mistakenly assume to be traversing the top of a spherical ballish shaped land mass. 

    Furthermore due to a reaction from aurora borealis particles and air molecules excited by negatively charge polar bear fur trapped in the atmosphere, sunlight rays striking the open ends of the cylinder are distorted, creating a warped lens-like effect that makes the ends look very round... almost spherical... this has confused many people into believing the earth is actually round.

    In 1889 cylinderologist Alberich Günternibelungen was able to use a crudely fashioned magnetic gate to deflect the effects of the cylindrium and allow him to follow the surface of the earth down into the opening of the cylinder... What he found was a fantastic world where magical beasts and mythological beings exist entirely separate from the laws of outer cylinder... His all but forgotten book “Ich Bin Nicht Verrückt, Die Welt Ist Ein Zylinder!”, (“Inside The Cylinder World”) chronicles his travels and adventures. 

    Sadly ten years after finishing his book in 1901, Günternibelungen died in poverty in a São Paulo asylum for lunatic lepers with syphilis, without ever being able to prove to the world what he saw... The ability to travel to the inner cylinder was lost to the world when his notes, diagrams and blueprints were burned along with his festering corpse by the asylum nuns several days after his death. Some to this day find it very suspicious that he was killed by a donkey that fell from the asylum’s roof, and believe he was murdered by the Illuminati to cover up their connection to the powers of the inner cylinder.

    You know LG, this is a great opportunity here... with your scientific background and charismatic down-to-earthness and my ability to make up s- -t on the fly, I think we can cash in on the global move towards epic stupidity and rejection of science... Heck I think your first speech at the aforementioned convention probably cures cancer and can reduce the listeners’ weight more than liposuction or exercise... 

    You can be the next Elond Cubbard... or whatever his name was... “Cylindernetics” can be a whole new movement to suck up all the loose cash gullible dummies haven’t already handed over to Nigerian princes and casino slot machines!

    I see books, conventions, weight loss powders, nutritional supplements and special footwear in this... 

    All possible by the glorification of stupidity via modern mass media.  We could even start an on-line university that gave out  "PhS" degrees.enlightened

    oh my aikin back.

    i only see a couple words on aiko3.com  think it started out with good intentions.

     

     

    Black mulch shouldn’t stink... I think they buried a dead body in the flower bed.  You should take a shovel and dig around a bit in there... corpses can have amazing valuables left behind in their pockets... jewelry, cash, cursed amulets... you could even sell the body to a medical school... though that was more common in the 1800s.

    As long as the body wasn’t from some super secret government research facility and isn’t about to go full brain eating zombie, you should be good to rifle through its garments.

    come to think of it, my raccoon buddy hasnt been by to munch the apples i leave out for him.

    As a tribute to nearly 70 years of mass media stupidity.  The National Comedy Center here in Jamestown, NY is again hosting the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival https://tickets.comedycenter.org/Info.aspx?EventID=22 .  Attendees, for additional minor fees around $20 can participate in such wonderful activities as "Grape Stomping", "Chocolate Candy Wrapping" and riding a bus to stare at the hole in the ground where she's been for the last 3 decades.  These are only a few of the wonderful and wacky hilarities possible to find in this less traveled area of NY State during the 2nd weekend of August.  Come one, come all.

    Damn... that’s cold... they just threw her in a hole and didn’t even cover it up... ?  I suppose if it attracts gawkers who’ll stare into holes, that could be good for the local economy... I only went to Jamestown once or twice... but not for hole gawking... is what’s left of Ricky’s Pawn Shop still there?... Just asking for a friend who is not a Penguin.

    How is the blueness... has it spread from your hair?... I forgot to mention in my previous post that sometimes smurfs lay eggs on unattended pastries or hot pockets... this can also lead to blue hair.

    Can you hide some of them while you work, or even save out sub-sets (File>Save As>Scene Subset) to work on in isolation and then bring them back in (File>Merge)?

    I've not tried the the merge thing yet but when I wake up from my nap enough to play with it all I will. (I've fallen asleep twice just trying to finish this message.)

    At the moment I'm trying to get the 3rd party freebies I've downloaded to work...I've downloaded so many but most don't really work.

    I pass that area several times a month.  I know the Desi/Lucy Museum and some of the other Lucy touristy establishments around that block but I never noticed "Ricky's Pawn Shop" and judging by the comments on this web page I wouldn't get your hopes up. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Rickys-Pawn-Shop/151614541546404
