A Deam I had of running for office.

Several months ago I had a dream I was running for office and had all these ideas. I wrote down notes in the dark on a sticky note. I found the note today, try reading your handwriting months later that you wrote in the dark.

  • Term limits, an amendment to limit both the Federal House of Representatives and Senate to Two, four year terms.
  • Balanced budget, the budget must be balanced or they don’t get paid.
  • Flat tax of 10% or less on income over the poverty level.
  • get rid of BATF and the USDA
  • Farms should be for Farming, not building houses on or solar panels
  • Eliminate the Inheritance tax.
  • break up multi national companies that are controlling far to much power
  • stop companies like Black Rock from buying up houses and the turning them in to rentals.
  • Get rid of daylight savings.

Do I even need to argue for Term limits? I think we can all agree on it. People staying in congress so long that they die there is unacceptable. There are people who have been in office as long as I have been alive and I will be 62 in a couple weeks. Some of them are so senile they should be in a care home instead of voting on legislation they not read.

Which brings up another issue omnibus that includes a bunch of stuff that should not be passed. These are mostly written by unknown people in their staffs. If a bill can not be passed on its own merits it should not be passed. Every bill should be a single issue. People who supposed to represent US who vote against bills like Voter ID which 83% or more of all people approve of should be voted out of office.

We have not had a budget since Obama was in office, they started passing continuing resolutions and automatically increasing what they spent with no regard to anything. This is how we went from 10 trillion before Obama was in office to 20 trillion by they time he left to almost 40 trillion today. Instead of a balanced budget they keep increasing the deficit level every year. DODGE showed the amount of waste is incredible. We were paying for huge office buildings where no one worked. UASID was funneling money to non government enties which then funded socialist candidates for office and were also sending money to our enemies. And we are seeing states like Minnesota, and California have wasted billions in tax payer money.

Where is all the money they are spending coming from? They printing it because countries like China would not loan us more money because we are widely known to be irresponsible with spending it. Under Obama we went from AAA to AA national credit rating, and it has only gotten worse since. We are spending 40% more than the national Gross Domestic Production, it is not sustainable. We have inflation because they are printing money to cover spending we can not afford.

We are loosing our farm land because of the inheritance tax which descendants can not afford and have to sell the farm or other assets. Then we build houses and solar farms on land that used to grow crops. Now we are importing food from other countries. We have had listeria outbreaks from vegetables from Mexico which were watered with unclean water.

In Colorado where I grew up in the early 80s there was an early frost before the crops were harvested and they were destroyed. This was a major problem because then the farmers could not pay the loans they took out to buy sprinklers which the USDA made them buy because they are more efficient than flood irrigation. Because of that many of the farms went back to the banks and are sitting idle. I was back there a few years ago and much of the land has gone back to sage brush and other weeds. I saw very few animals; cows, sheep, lamas, horses.

USDA United states Department of Agriculture is one of those omni government agencies that is responsible for everything from farming, rural development, to welfare. Even the Forest Service is under USDA umbrella which also includes food and nutrition, food safety, animal and food inspection, marketing and research, insurance, commodity credit Corporation, SNAP. Like any government operations it seems to make most things worse for citizens.

BATF Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. Some once remarked that would make a great store. I don’t drink or smoke so I don’t care about the first two, but they should be 3 separate agencies. Firearms needs to be cut way back. The last part of the 2nd amendment says The Right of the people to bear arms shall NOT be infringed. And this agency has done a lot of infringing on our rights especially under democrat control. https://scottsworld.info/rkba.htm

https://scottsworld.info/rkbaq.htm

https://scottsworld.info/opinions.htm

You can go to those links and read what I wrote before. I still support those things Like a flat tax. .

If you have any money invested in Black Rock or Vanguard I would take it all and move it some where else. They make massive profit on the money you invest with them and are buying up houses and renting them back. It is stuff like this that causes a shortage of houses. Biden let in at least 10 million illegal people which did not help the housing situation at all. That is more than the population than many states.

Daylight Savings should be done away with, it is a stupid idea and I am glad Arizona doesn’t follow it. Trump says it is a 50-50 issue so he wont do anything about it.

Trump has been done some of the things, getting rid of the Department of un Education. Recently he has said he will stop these companies from buying up houses and turning them into rentals. Off the top of my head I can’t think of anything he has done I have complaints about. Don’t believe anything you see on TV news, they are all notoriously leftists and have nothing good to say about Trump or conservatives.

Weather 2025 Cactus Wren

Trying to get my weather pages back up, Cactus Wren Weather pages have been down a couple years. My WiFi extender for the weather station/media computer died. I need to get a mesh router to cover the house. Now using Cumulus MX, the software downloads the weather from my Davis Vantage Pro weather station. Also having ftp issues with my hosting company Ionos I am not happy with them.

I had Weather Display before but the software kept freezing up so I switched to Cumulus MX but have not gotten it to upload. About the same time I had switched from Blue Host to Ionos and started having ftp problems.

I am near 38th Ave and Hatcher Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85051

Scott’s Missionary Testimony

I have been transcribing my missionary journals and found this which was written just after I had been out 1 year, I was in Roseville California at the time.

I Elder D Scott Scheibe have strong testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It burns with in me the truthfulness of it. I have taught its doctrines and know their truth. I know Jesus is the Christ, he lives and is our Lord and Savior, that he is our mediator between us and our Heavenly Father and I know we are his spirit children and have the potential to became perfect as he is.

I know he has restored the Gospel here upon the earth in the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times, though the Prophet Joseph Smith. I know all authority and knowledge necessary for our salvation is found in this Christ Church.

I know we have a living prophet and apostles on the earth today, that they are inspired and they do receive revelation.

I know that the book of Mormon, the Doctrine and Covenants and the Pearl of Great Price are scripture in addition to the bible.

The heavens are open and we can speak to God our Heavenly father through prayers and that we can and will receive and answer if we ask in faith and sincerity.

I exhort you to study the scriptures, learn all you can of the gospel, live righteously, get married in the Temple.  

I promise if you do these things and live the gospel you will find happiness. Study and pray, gain your own testimony of the Church. You will need a strong one to carry you through life’s trials.

Once again, I say unto you this is Christ’s Only True Church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints I know it as sure as I live and I testify that to you in the name of our lord Jesus Christ. Amen

Truthfully and Sincerely

Elder Donald Scott Scheibe

May 31, 1984

Essential Sewing Machine Maintenance Tips

Sewing machines and sergers need regular service, especially in Arizona they dry out and need cleaning and lubrication. Newer machines often are not set right from the factory and need tensions and feed balance set. Regular service depends on how much it is used, if a lot it might be 6 months, rarely used every year or two.

Besides having your machine serviced regularly so it doesn’t break down, these are the things you can do to keep it in good shape.

Change the needles often, at least every project. If it is making a popping noise it dull and past time it should have been changed. It is especially important if you have a needle threader on your machine. If you having trouble with your serger change the needles and correctly rethread the machine.

Needle screws should only be tightened finger tight. Over tightening causes damage to the screw and the clamp. I have seen people strip the threads, damage the needle screw so much the needle will not say in and even crack the clamps. Especially do not use a screw driver to tighten the screw. The T handle screw driver Viking gives with the machine can allow you to WAY over tighten the screw.

Clean the machine, lint must be removed. Do not blow it farther into the machine. It should be vacuumed out or with a lint brush. Be sure to remove any lint rings on the needle bar and between the feed dog teeth. Lint is abrasive and drys out the lubrication. Enough lint packed in the feed dogs can cause feeding problems wear out the needle plate from the bottom, cause problems with the feed mechanism. Lint packed into the bottom needle bar bushing can wear out the bushing and bar. I have fixed many machines bound up by cleaning the lint out. Sergers generate a lot of lint cutting the fabric.

If you machine has a bobbin sensor it will not work if there is lint around the hook and bobbin case. If the sensor stops working it almost always is because lint is blocking the sensor.

Sewing Machine Tips 4-9-21

If you don’t know me I am a Sewing Machine tech for over 30 years. Every now and then as I see the need I will post something to my blog

One of the biggest mistakes I see people making is adjusting machines with the mistaken assumption what is wrong. The main one is the machine is sewing with loops in the thread, there are big loops on the bottom so they tighten the bobbin case. This is the EXACT opposit of fixing the problem.. If you have big loops of thread on the bottom of the fabric you have no upper tension. Most likely it is misthreaded. If you are having problems rethread the machine carefully making sure the thread goes though all thread guides and the tension unit. If that does not fix it, it probably needs service but be sure the thread is between the tension disks and not behind or in front of them.

The only time you need to look at the bobbin case is the bobbin thread is pulling to the top. Most likely the bobbin thread is not in the tension and just pulling up. It is rare the bobbin case needs adjusting, if you need to make adjustments use the upper tension dial that is why it is there! It could be the upper tension is too tight if it is just pulling up a little, loosen the upper tension, lower numbers are lower tension. Typically most mechanical machines sew between 4-5.

Another problem I see is they misthreaded it, pulled the bobbin case out of position, possibly damaging it. Often they move the brackets so there is no play in the bobbin case so it cant come out again but this is wrong. There must be some clearance around the bobbin case for the thread to flow around it. If there is no room it will jam up.

Needles are another source of problems. If the needle is old it gets dull, it should not make a popping noise going in to the fabric. If you hit the plate because you are pulling the fabric or other wise dammage the needle it must be replaced. If you are breaking needles there is a problem. There are all kinds of types of needles, there are special Denim needles which are sharp, Knit needles for knit material, if your having skips on knit material like a t-shirt be sure you change to a knit needle.

If you need your machine you can bring it to me https://scottsworld.info/sewingrepair.html Scott’s Sewing Machine Repair.

Scottsworld 2020

Scottsworld Other than changing the links menu from the side to the top there was not any real major changes. I just updated both my ancestory database and the Henry Woodward Database on the Genealogy pages on 12-30-2020. I was not sure when I had last done it and Roy Arthur Kelly II my cousin had sent me updates on his family.

Scottworld Blog

WordPress made some changes and now automatically updates the plugins. Which is much appreciated, before I was weekly updating plugins more than I was actually blogging which was getting annoying. I logged in today and ran an SEO update and update my theam, which was the first time I’ve logged in to the WordPress app on my website in a couple months now.

Cactus Wren Weather Station

As part of Scottsworld also got the menu change and actually happened on the weather pages first. Forgot both also got some mobile coding so they work well on mobile devices, not that you will see the code and other than it works not notice it either. One change I am not happy about is the National Weather Service made major changes to their radar page, there are no more regional pages so I had to remove the radar graphic from the weather page because it was broken.. This is the new NWS Radar page and this is the NWS Tutorial on the new Radar page..

BTW I am officially a NWS weather spotter now. We are to report things like; tornadoes, storm damage, flooding, less than 1 mile visibility, large amounts of rain, hail and Snow. NWS SKYWARN Storm Spotter Program

Not that we get a lot of those things in Phoenix or even a big monsoon storm in the last couple years. We are down nearly 4 inches of rain for the year and the only real weather news was it was hot for a long time and we broke several heat related records. We were still hitting 100’s and 90’s into October and it did not drop below 80 until well into December. Then it went from 90 to 60’s in one week. I had to put a coat on to put up Christmas decorations because I was cold at 60.. I grew up in Colorado so I know what real cold feels like.

I am also a CoCoRaHS Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow member, I have an official CoCoRaHS Rain Guage mounted on my weather station and the app on my phone to report any type of moisture we receive. Mostly this year I have cleaned dust and dead bugs out of the rain gauge. Blury thing in the corner is my finger.. Have trouble holding the phone and taking photos..

Daylight Savings

Repeal Daylight Savings

Repeal the stupid daylight savings, it does nothing but disrupt sleep patterns which causes accidents and makes it harder to keep track of what time it is in other states. 

How does moving the clock ahead one hour increase the day? It does not, farmers get up at dawn no mater what the time is and the rest of us have regular schedules.

Arizona does not have Daylight Savings and is one of the things I like most about living here. I remember as a kid in Colorado the sun not setting until almost 9 pm because of DST.

DST is like cutting one end of the blanket off and sewing it to the other end and claiming you made the blanket longer. Moving the clock forward 1 hour does not add anytime to the 24 hour day. This is nothing more than big government screwing with our lives and needs to stop. https://www.change.org/p/donald-j-trump-repeal-daylight-savings/dashboard When searching for information I found this site. http://repealdaylightsavings.com/

Need Your Help!

SVP (Singer Viking Pfaff) fired me for working on machines while on covid-19 furlough to make money saying I was working against them.
They were not paying me and I am on unemployment and I was making more money with the Cares act on unemployment than I was working for SVP, but it runs out the end of July 2020.

I found while not working there I really hated working there any way. My co-workers were jerks and corporate was a bunch of lying assholes.
Last year they moved the service center the week I had scheduled PT person Time off 3 months before and then they canceled my vacation with no explanation, and then tried to tell me they didn’t know they were moving the service center to a new location that week until the week before. 19 miles away, I was barely affording driving to work on what they paid 4 miles away. I had scheduled that week off off which was the Myers family reunion in Colorado and they made me miss it, after they had pushed me to schedule my vacation at the beginning of the year. We hadn’t had a meaningful raise in years and they cut all overtime in 2018, I made 36,000
in 2019 almost 10K less than what I was making with over time and well below the national nominal wage. That reminds me they combined Vacation, Sick time and any other time off as Personal Time with the end result we had LESS combined time off and sick time than we had before.

This is my https://scottsworld.info/resume.htm please share it with your contacts. https://scottsworld.info/sewingrepair.html I need your sewing machines to repair for money. I am very good at it and fix mainly older machines others will not work on or do not know how but I can work on pretty much any sewing machine.

Scott’s Sewing Machine Repair

https://scottsworld.info/sewingrepair.html

This is a bit of a FAQ for Scott’s Sewing Machine Repair.

1 I am working out of my house and you can bring repairs to me at 9416 N 38th Ave, I am in a cul-du-sac south of Hatcher with 3 tall palm trees in the front yard. Or to Ultimate Sewing Place at 5138 W. Northern Ave, Glendale, Arizona.

2 I don’t sell sewing machines, see Ultimate Sewing Place.

3 I am not hiring, I don’t get near enough machines to need help. I get on average 2-3 machines a week. Mainly from people sewing masks for Covad. Some bring me old machines because no one else would fix them.

4 They wanted me to come back to work on May 26 but I told them I am getting more money on unemployment than than I do working for SVP. I also got better insurance with unemployment and I am getting some stuff Cigna would not covered fixed. I have 5 prolapsed veins in my legs and they are swollen and red. On 29 May I will be seeing laser Vein Surgeon to have them fixed. Care1 is good. At work we have a high deductible plan which is designed you will never meet the deductible unless you have something catastrophic happen which you have to pay out of your HSA which SVP only contributes about 1/4 of the deductible.. Or it comes out of your pocket. Then last year they went from 100% after the deductible to 70% of the deductible and what came out of our check biweekly paycheck went from $45 to $75. So I am on temporary leave until I get my medical straitened out and they get me a pay increase. Maybe I will go back to work mid to end of July.

5 I don’t sell parts over the phone, if you bring me a repair and I have the part or you get it to me then I will put it in. For the most part stuff like handwheels, knobs, covers and such are not available for older machines and some new ones too. I have some spool pins, bobbin cases, Singer Feather weight parts and Viking 6000 parts and that is about it.

6 Please leave a review on Google if I have fixed your machine

7 Please text me first, I have Robokiller on my Phone that blocks unknown phone numbers so you will end up talking to it unless you text me first and I add you to my contacts. I need your name.
