Yea man, I can relate to the DIY mentality all the way. One thing that made me really think you're my long lost brother-from-a-different-mother was:

I am a hands on, pragmatic do-it-yourselfer and learner. I take everything with a brick of salt. If it doesn’t work, it’s probably useless.
That's something I aligned with entirely. I live by 'do what you can with what you've got'. Have to say I admire your openness and willingness to explore and to see what is out there. Not anyone could just take off on their own path - the human animal finds comfort in complacency and structure. To be your own master & ruler, you've got to subject yourself to the mysterious 'unknown'. Not everyone has the abilities required for that. I imagine that to be more 'wild' than Steemit. 😆

I really do look forward to reading your content and I'd say you have answers to many questions.. Scientology is a mystery to many, including myself..

Anyhow, I wish you a safe journey & success in your STEEM endeavor. ✌😎
