My idea is to put a waterproofed barrel on some kind of axle and connect it to a windmill vane, so the wind will turn the barrel filled with sand, water, and glass. I'd also like some way to brake the windmill system and transfer it to some sort of block-and-tackle system that uses the weight of the birdseed and the motion of the birds to somehow move the barrel. They won't provide a lot of motion, I don't think, but some. Balancing all of those ideas in a package small enough to fit on my apartment balcony is the challenge. I haven't quite got it all worked out yet, but I've got some ideas about the windmill system. It's transferring it to a block-and-tackle I haven't quite gotten yet. I'm not even sure that's the way to describe it.

After countless relapses, I'm quitting again. I mean I quit. I stopped. This is the time; this is the quit. My two year old granddaughter needs me. So does her mother, her father, her grandma, my kid's father, my sisters, my friends...I have a lot of people in my life who love me. My brother in law died at 54 last year. He was not a smoker but was incredibly obese and had several medical conditions. He didn't take care of himself and look what happened. I don't want to die young. I'm at the point in my life where I'm on the other side of that hill and want to descend as healthy as possible. Despite this, I'm craving pretty bad. Day 4 has begun and I'm hoping it will be better.

NOPE!!

NOPE!

Certainly a challenging issue to work out @Penguin but you know what ...? That's exactly the kind of thing to help keep your mind off smoking and/or any urges to do so. It really is a win/win 👏 Best of luck in getting it solved. Keep us updated as things progress please.

Too hard for me 🐸

Sazerac Quit Date: October 23, 2013, A Good Day to be Free. Posted July 24, 2016 Some quitters may have trouble with the never/ever part of NOPE (Not One Puff Ever). To tell you the truth, in the nascence of my quit, I bluffed my way through never/ever land. I remember Cristobal and Stuart qualifying never/ever with the caveat, 'just for today' and that was the truth too, it is just about here and now. As days and weeks passed, I absorbed the truth about addiction. Once I clearly understood addiction is forever and the brain's neuro pathways immediately re-connect to addiction after one puff, I embraced never/ever/forever. If addiction was in my brain for the long haul, well dammit...I was too and I was going to Win ! I want to include our friend, Joel Spitzer's video (and a link to resources) about this subject. He uses the phrase, 'Never Take Another Puff' as we use Not One Puff Ever Never Take Another Puff (resources) and the video Link to original post: https://www.quittrain.com/topic/7334-nope~nevereverforever/

My polisher makes these stones:

-6, Bakon, go cook something on your new grill! You will need to be in practice when we come visit!!

I've been working on a design for a bird feeder that helps to polish sea glass. It's proving much more difficult than I originally anticipated, but I like the challenge.
