I thought this would be easier to do than video logs...

Generally, I think I'm a bit of a motor mouth/keyboard/typist...

Today I just don't seem to care... again...

Surprise, surprise... Another bipolar person doesn't really seem to care!

How many of us are there that just don't seem to care.

I want to work and it's really hard, trying to get really involved...  Maybe not involved.. but Engaged.

I can't seem to engage my mental gears and get work going.

Last night, I think I slept pretty well, except I think I had the damn CPAP mask on a bit too tight, and my upper lip was a bit sore like it was pressed on pretty good by the mask.

I'm taking stock of my incense, and I'm almost out... Ok, I'm just about out of my favorite scent, Opium.

I've never smoked Opium nor have I ever been around anyone who was smoking it.  I like the balmy scent of it burning.

Perhaps that's why my purchases of incense 1/2 or more of the order is Opium.

Then I like the smell of roses, so a rose scent is desired.  Then Amber.

There's a small shop downtown, in my small town, that sells incense, and I want to give them a try out here soon

If I like their stuff, it'll switch over to buying from them, as they're local and I actually will get more incense per $ than I am now.

I've tried some of their incense cones and I like the scent, but I had trouble burning them... Turns out I had trouble burning all of the cones in my old cone burner.

Now my cone burner can take like 6 cones at a time, and I can flood the room with smoke and inhale enough as though I was smoking... Too much incense... So I try to limit myself to 1-2 cones burning at a single time.

In many ways, this blog is a journal for me & my family.  Although, I'm the only one who does anything with it.

My wife, Ellie, doesn't look at it and seems to forget that I keep it.

My kids aren't really ready to follow their crazy daddy's mind, and I hope they don't really want to follow my blog.

The girls just aren't ready to see into the mind of their father and how he feels & thinks throughout the day.

As they're growing older and we spend more time together, they're starting to realize that I cannot always control my anger/behavior very well.

Well, I have a new mania.. I am going to build a rocket stove.

These little stoves are pretty cool.

I have a 220 welder and it works very well... I'll have to use the sawsall & other tools to cut the metal to the shapes I need, then I can weld them together.

Why build the stove?  I don't know... but I do know...

It's something, if built right, we can cook with/on if an emergency arises, or we can simply take it camping with us, and not use a propane stove... We could just burn small sticks/branches/etc, and still cook enough food as though we were using propane.

As for adjusting the heat of the stove, I'm not certain at, except to limit the airflow at the lower part of the stove.

I want to build it with a chimney so that way the pots & pans won't get all blackened by cooking on it.

I saw one guy's design that was setup to run on wood pellets and I really liked the design he built.

I want to take that one just a step further.

I'll want to build this thing for "Free" or as close to "Free" as I can, so that way my wife won't give a shit that I build it.

When it's done, if it works as well as I've seen others, she should be impressed, and therefore shut up about why I got obsessed to build one.
