[Afloyd @LeadThumbFloyd]

I half hearted try at other social media but if you want to contact me somehow best course is probably DM me.

This thing is broken for me but I had fun chatting with y'all time to time.

Hey there.

I've been away from home since june and I won't be home till august.

I may not even get a break before I have to leave home again.

Getting laid off and unemployed for two months out me in the hole a couple thousand USD.

So working forever I guess.

[Afloyd @LeadThumbFloyd]

@ColpeFrederic That's a point in its favor, if I can keep the job I'll finally be making enough to cover my monthly expenses. Maybe I can finally save a little.

[Afloyd @LeadThumbFloyd]

Good news I have employment again. Bad news is it the shop is an hour away one direction.

Further good news, I am going to be a sky welder. First job is fusing a mast to a flange at 700 feet.

Further bad news, I may be away for a month at a time while we work on it.

@ingloriousgigi I loved it as a kid going into History and Art History because it wasn't so much about accuracy to me but depicting people in the past just as alive and silly as we are now. Extreme Sports. Popular Music. Colorful and sexy. All of it! :D

Geometric patterns are a distinguishing feature of Islamic art, thought to reflect the language of the universe & the greatness of creation.

Today, artists are reinterpreting this traditional artform in new ways.

@miguelsepulvada @MikeOkuda @4Killerbeezzz The only thing about this is that ideas by themselves have no tangible reality. Even if someone was an unparalleled genius and inventor who brought some machine into existence in their garage. Where did the steel come from? The polymer? The copper? Who will mass produce it?

[Afloyd @LeadThumbFloyd]

Can't seem to sleep.

I want to get out there and fix something again. That is the one thing I'm good at.
