SE Asia news you missed

 

Duterte will probably die before he is called into account for his genocide of the hood rats.

The problem with hood rats is that no matter how many you knock off, there will be another bottom 10 percent running around in a year or two.  Such is human nature.  There is ALWAYS a bottom 10 percent.

Meanwhile, my former competitor has completely collapsed over here.  4 million USD in liabilities.  Taking on too many projects, completing none.  Very hard to operate all ADHD.  It is bad enough reigning in myself with ideas sometimes.  

2 others companies have popped up, talking a nice game.  However one is run by someone who formerly was at another failed recycling shop.  I always had problems buying materials from them because the woman would not answer the phone.

This afternoon, I got 4 truckloads of FREE plastic.  Looks like I will be having a sale on plastic lumber soon.

Project fitness... Prepping... security stuffs

 My neighborhood has had a series of burglaries recently.  Big change as we had not had any in over a decade.  Some squatter colonies have popped up near by and are magnets for scumbags.

So my HOA is beefing up security.  However the HOA is lacking funds so everyone is pitching in lieu of raising dues.  

I donated a boatload of galvanized steel cable, some razor wire, and the services of my welders for a couple days.  We managed to scrounge up 30+ solar powered outdoor lights.  Others contributed angle bar, barbed wire, steel posts etc.  

Project fitness..  Well I am exactly the same weight as last Monday.  Despite being in a big caloric deficit of 1000-1500 calories per day.  However really putting on muscle and losing fat... So there is that.  

Saturday I really really pushed it.  I got in the zone, and third wind...  Hoofing it up and down the hills.  Somewhere around km 12 I called it a day.  Soon as I stopped.  I was in a world of HURT.  Despite that, I sucked down some lean protein, vitamins, more coffee and went to work. Although I was quite useless the rest of the day. 

Sunday I absolutely HAD to rest.  I felt like I had the flu, but it was muscle soreness.  Caught up on sleep in a big way.  Barely got in a thousand steps.  

Monday, 5am well rested, felt good. Grinded out 10km and then swung the macebell around.

Im adding solar to the shop now.  I have someone wanting to place his crypto miner project in my space as his space has issues with lack of sunlight for panels and the miners are noisy.  Looking at around 7500 watts of power.  

Today I am running the giant plastic extrusion machine.  It is using much less electric than I thought it was.  Drawing around 7500 watts on average.  I got a huge amount of shredded plastic in the shop that needs converting to lumber.  I will be putting a plastic building up as a demonstration project.  Also I simply need one of the steel buildings repaired, so I will strip the rusty old sheet metals off it and wall it in plastic boards.

Meanwhile saw this picture... This is Vietnam...  So we fought against the commies, to lose to the commies who became capitalists anyways...
