I have a neighbor who lives in a forest of junk cars. The former owners had such a pristine home there in lawns manicured and all their ducks in a row, but the new people are much more pleasing to me in not being anal in the least.They live in a pole shed of sorts which makes the other neighbors here puzzle over things, but in their mountain of adventure they have piles of children too who are some of thee most astute mechanically, because they are always tearing into all that junk figuring out how things work.
That is the lesson in today's world in people do not have to know how to fix things so much, but when things are no longer working or can be fixed, everyone from 80 year olds to 8 year olds should just get a screwdriver, hammer, some wrenches and take things apart from washing machines to what I was hammering on this afternoon for a break in a microwave.
I have no idea why I had never disassembled a microwave as I have torn apart many things for fun and curiosity, but today I was taking apart a Korean thing which seemed to be built better than most Chevy's these days.
It honestly has been spot welded which is beyond reasonable construction, but in that it affords me more puzzlement as I have decided I will get my grinder out, safety glasses and cut the metal frame apart, as I envision this little thing will become an egg incubator made of various and assorted parts just to see if it can be accomplished.
Online one can find loads of refrigerators turned into incubators, but no one has turned a microwave into one, so I tread there fearfully as being electrocuted over eggs is not my idea of fun. Of course, one only gets electrocuted with electricity, so things unplugged have never killed anyone yet.
I am amazed in the past few decades in how nothing is fixable any longer without a degree, and things are built to not be fixed. Of course it is voodoo economics of things broken are cancer patients to plunder in profit, so appliances and cars that go boink and cost $600 to repair, just end up in China's paper tiger economy fuelling mock communism as it feeds off the west.
Isn't that the oddest thing in the Soviet's said the Americans would sell them the rope to hang America, but no one has noted that China is actually existing as a trash culture in living off the debris of the west.
Japan attempted such a culture in 1930 and while the used vehicles melted down into wonderful bombs, all of Japan imploded eventually when 1940 supply economics took over.
China is the same situation in gobbling up things around the globe and in refuse is picking the garbage pile until either they will have to march their angry population out to be killed in making war or the angry Chinese will be dining on Forbidden City communists.
America could have as usual built things to last, and then made them repairable cost effectively, with exports to China, but the globalists instead built things to be replaced, sold the junk to Asia and are driving up debt by living off of Chinese slave labor.
I sometimes ponder that the oriental mind actually makes things to drive America bankrupt. In tests, I did informally, Chinese cast iron requires more heat to cook in than the Wagner pans of American manufacture. The fuel consumption alone is magnified in simply cooking in Chinese pans.
On the contrary, I have stainless steel, copper bottom cooking pans from India, which I love as they are efficient and quite handsome. They actually have glass lids with a little air hole in them that clears the glass so I can watch things cook without opening the lid.
Amazing in things like that from the fork to a little hole in a pan lid which is revolutionary and no one ever wins a Nobel Prize for physics in that, when that is one of the most amazing advancements in mankind's knowledge.
But then Al Gore never thinks of things like that to save energy, just those curly light bulbs which really are not that great of an invention.
For my incubator though, I will use an old water heater thermostat, some wiring, two real light bulbs for heat, the fan from the microwave, and my egg turner will be my own type of Sears Roebuck invention.
It hopefully will suffice in I think I can squeeze 36 eggs into it, but then what does one need with 36 chickens? It though is an adventure, like making yogurt by accident or creating chevra cheese deliberately.
I honestly believe Americans would be more content if they would discover things in perhaps knowing how to make corn tortillas in a press, in the secret is plastic bags lining the press and STARTING WITH HOT WATER IN THE corn flour.
Those are the million dollar secrets which people really need compared to opening a cardboard box and popping some ghastly chemical poison food into a microwave to inflame your body with.
I like the secrets and I like the serenity of building things and taking things apart which can not be fixed as one can not break them.
Knowledge is a commodity for the future, as there are many Eurasians seeking to take America apart in assisting Mr. Obama taking America apart, so they can dominate the west and Mr. Obama can rule in his ilk for a thousand year reich.
Someone has to know how to run an old type press for papers to read, someone has to know how to build matches to start fires and someone has to know how to hatch eggs, as reading government propaganda, wearing government trash fiber blankets and eating government poison is what killed numerous folks over the years across the globe.
Americans had better in this lull figure out how things work, because many things are not going to be working in the future and Americans are going to have to figure out how to start from the beginning again.
