U.N. TREATY TO CONTROL THE INTERNET

2012-12-04T09:53:00.003-08:00

Just a warning; the UN wants to control the internet. Is this good!?!??

COLA

2012-12-03T14:56:00.000-08:00

Now they are saying that the Cost of Living Adjustment should be reduced to eliminate the "Cliff".
Yeh!!! That 1.75% COLA will really reduce the debt!?!?!?

ENTITLEMENTS

2012-12-03T10:10:00.001-08:00

1. Social Security and Medicare are being called “entitlements” in the current “CLIFF” discussions. I am “entitled” to these due to me and my employers paying into these funds for decades.

The current talk is to make these seem like the Government is giving to us and not returning the funds as is the agreement. Again, I paid into these funds.

2. I would say 60 Minutes last night showed an area that can be corrected, what I would call “cramming” beds in hospitals and there are other areas that need correction.

2012-12-01T20:34:00.000-08:00

Well 2012 12 21 is almost here!!!
That is the winter solstice!

"The current (13th) baktun will end, or be completed, on 13.0.0.0.0 (December 21, 2012"
This is what the the Mayan calendar shows. MAN those guys were good!!! Our contemporary astronomers say the Solar system will align with the center of the galaxy on this date;.

Even thought I do not agree with the general statement that; (from Wikipedia)
Gravitation, or gravity, is a natural phenomenon by which physical bodies attract each other with a force proportional to their masses. Gravitation is most familiar as the agent that gives weight to objects with mass and causes them to fall to the ground when dropped. Gravitation causes dispersed matter to coalesce, and coalesced matter to remain intact, thus accounting for the existence of planets, stars, galaxies and most of the macroscopic objects in the universe.,

Is a WEAK force(NO).

Tun the less of these points - we are damaging our selves!!!

The last time this happened was 26,000 years ago!!

7. The definition of entitlements is being changed so let’s call it Earned Benefits (SS & Medicare).

2012-11-23T12:40:00.003-08:00

CNN AGAIN

CNN is worried because the Pope made some "observations" on the Bible.

POINT ONE

LUKE 2.7

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. (KJV)

And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. (RSV)

OK! let's argue about "swaddling clothes," and "bands of cloth"

POINT TWO

Luke 2.8-52

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!’(NRSV)

AND FROM KJV;
⁸And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
⁹And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
¹⁰And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
¹¹For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.
¹²And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
¹³And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
¹⁴Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
CNN you are choosing one version (NRSV) over another say (KJV)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am not a Papist nor a Catholic, but these comments on his book are absurd!!!!
It appears to me he is clarifying, at least his opinion, certain passages in the Christian Bible.
And you (CNN) are worried about the phrase;
"a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying,
‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favors!' " (NSRV)
can be "said" to music or in song, an example are the PSALMS.

2012-11-23T11:53:00.002-08:00

Now CNN is talking about the "obscene" gesture that girl made at the Tomb of the Unknown". That is ridicules!! She made an in-appropriate action. I am sure that her "appearance" of shouting was to make a joke. Goodness, there are more important things to be concerned.

2012-11-20T20:20:00.001-08:00

OK! I need to talk about all this new FOL-DI-RA. ENTITLEMENTS

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"An entitlement is a guarantee of access to benefits based on established rights or by legislation. A "right" is itself an entitlement associated with a moral or social principle, such that an "entitlement" is a provision made in accordance with legal framework of a society. Typically, entitlements are laws based on concepts of principle ("rights") which are themselves based in concepts of social equality or enfranchisement."

ALSO;
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Entitlements
"en·ti·tle·ment (n-ttl-mnt) n.

1. The act or process of entitling.

2. The state of being entitled.

3. A government program that guarantees and provides benefits to a particular group: "fights . . . to preserve victories won a generation ago, like the Medicaid entitlement for the poor" (Jason DeParle)."

Well, THEY are calling Social Security and Medicare "Entitlements".

I HAVE PAID FOR THESE FOR 50 YEARS!!!

Well Medicare since 1965!!

AC

2011-10-27T21:32:00.000-07:00

OK! The VanD's got me off on AC - (cooling)

This was the Ozona High School that became the Ozona Elementary school, the I go t a contract to renovate it and turn it into a Middle School.

There is a copula on the top (looks like a bell tower, or little room).

There were three "out" structures. Each have a tunnel to the main building that attached to a shaft coming down from the copula.

The temperature is hotter at the top. Sooo! (The hot air above) would draft up and draw the air from the tunnels (ground temperature is constant [relatively] and cooler than the above (in the summer).

So what would happen is the air would be drawn out of the the copula bring the cooler temperature up through the building.

This cools the classrooms. This project was done the summer - my workers not cool, but comfortable working.

1900 air conditioning!!!!

Again just a thought for you!.

AGAIN AND AGAIN (occupy wall street)

2011-10-20T02:49:00.001-07:00

This is a lot more Political than I wanted to be when I stared this Blog, but here goes. first of all, I am not as good of a typist as I would like to be or speller ( English major).

A couple of things;
What the scrolls tell us, I would like to have been in the area of a man named Jesus. All my ancestry puts me else where!!

This may sound unrelated - but bear with me out;

OWS folks want job;
35% of college graduates can not find a job
Boomers can not find job You know there is a DIVIDE AND CONQUER STRATEGY HERE.

===This is the young against the higher against the lower (all but a few of the middle are becoming the lower)

CHANGED AGAIN

2011-10-04T21:14:00.000-07:00

My wife was asked to stay another month, so the "opportunity" will probably go away.. now I am looking for land in TX.

MOVING TO OK

2011-09-28T22:19:00.000-07:00

Well it looks like I (we) are going to move from the Texas Hill County to the OK Mountains!! Well MOUNTAINS more like high hills!!

I have lived in Texas more than any other place. This is where I wanted to be

But the PUKKA (who seem to control my life) are saying I am going to OK!!!

(SE OK) is a FINE area!!
Soo!! By the end of Oct we will be heading north.

FUEL COSTS

2011-09-24T17:53:00.000-07:00

ok! I put this info in one if the forums and see what reaction there is.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/16/petrobras-drilling-idUSN1629712920110516

RIO DE JANEIRO, May 16 (Reuters) - Brazilian state-run oil

company Petrobras (PETR4.SA) in the first quarter quickened the

pace of drilling in the offshore Santos Basin, Chief Financial

Officer Almir Barbassa said on Monday, as the firm seeks to

speed up development of ultra-deep water reserves.

http://oilshalegas.com/braziltupioil.html

The country of Brazil is excited about their recent oil find. Shareholders of Brazil's Petroleo Brasileiro SA PBR have reason to be excited as well! Petrobras believes they are sitting on one of the worlds largest oil field reserves deep under the Santos Basin in the Atlantic Ocean. The company estimates recoverable reserves are up to 8 billion barrels of oil, which would be the largest oil discovery in roughly 20 years. It gets better. Some people are estimating that the Santo region could hold up to 33 billion in oil reserves as well as a huge amount of Natural Gas located in the Jupiter Field. This field is located less then 23 miles away from Tupi's east side.

HHO

2011-09-18T22:08:00.000-07:00

OK! Guys - We are trying to reduce costs - I have eight designs for a HHO creator. This would improve our MPG.
Is this of interest?

TEXAS but STILL NEED LAND

2011-09-03T15:26:00.000-07:00

THE CREEK

Been in Texas for five months and still want/need land!! We are on the west side of the Hill Country, trying to keep our heads above water.

The solar system is set up and running. We have been having 108o days. I hope it is helping.

I have eight hydrogen generator (really water splitter) designs and a couple work pretty good. Two of them are in my old truck.

I am not getting enough power (DC) to them through the fuse box. A direct hook up to the battery works better.

BOOMERES AND DISOUNTS

2011-03-15T21:43:00.000-07:00

We are loading up to head south.

This is just an example - I have purchased from Harbor Freight and am absolutely not isolating them out.

This just an example.

How can they cut their price from $39.99 to $27.99??? A 30% discount????

A company can not exist with negative cash flow!!

I did not not want this blog to be - I was going to say - POLITICAL - but then again, it is beyond that!

BOOMERS AND HYDROGEN FUEL CELLS

2011-03-07T13:04:00.000-08:00

With the diesel price $3.65 and rising, I need to build a hydrogen fuel cell to pump hydrogen into my engine and get my costs down. I have a long trip. Lawton to Tulsa then Lawton then Ingram. About a quarter of the way with three vehicles and over half of the way towing a fifth wheel and the whole way towing a utility trailer.
This three cell package from http://www.hydrogenator.us/

Hydrogenator 3 Cell HHO Generator With Hinged Top Open (Shown)

$359.95

Would be nice, but I think I can only afford their cores.

Build my own HHO generator.
"...standard state-of-the art 9 plate core dry cells available....
9 - 316L stainless steel plates arranged -NNN+NNN-. All other metal components are 18-8 stainless steel.
Hose barbs are chemical resistant high density polypropylene. 1/4" (6.35mm) low hose barb for electrolyte inlet. 3/8"(9.525mm) high hose barb for HHO gas outlet.
Dry Cell dimensions: 4" (101.6mm) wide x 4" (101.6mm) high x 3-3/4"(95.25mm) thick with hose barbs installed.
Stainless steel wingnuts for both positive(+) and negative(-) posts are included.
Each core dry cell will generate between .5 liters per minute (at 10 amps) and 2.2 liters per minute (at 40 amps, maximum current flow."

Core Dry Cells are Just $89.95 each.

I will have to get all the wiring and tubing and stick the right thing in the right place????

I guess I will have to try this in my next place - bye bye house!!!

BOOMERS AND HYDROGEN

2011-03-04T22:34:00.000-08:00

OK! We go the land = well I am still working on it. Then shelter, water, and power.
My research brings me to HYDROGEN!!!! Has an atomic number "1"-----

Woaoaoa!!! Am I missing something here??

H2O - yeah WATER. There is energy in H and O, but combine the properly and these atoms are inert.

So let's split these atoms.

If this could be done the power of hydrogen will give energy.

If the H and the O could be separated there would be power that could be generated.

Whow What an idea!!!!
Well all we need to do is have an - electrolysis - positive and negative

MMMMh

And every body goes HuuHH??
People say this is a battery.!!!! Well fine. Where is the stuff the battery is giving power??

It seems to me that that this is a hydrogen generator. The constant fraking of the H2O gives gives a good power source for illumination.

That gives me some thought about Hanukkah.

MORE LATER!!!

BOOMERS HEAD FOR THE HILLS

BOOMERS AND THE WESTERN HILL COUNTRY OF TEXAS

2011-02-25T21:13:00.000-08:00

The Texas Hil Country has held an affection in my heart for decades. It seems that I am going to the "back side" in a few weeks.

A little dramatic, but gets the emotion across.

http://directory.ic.org/
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SeniorHousingGroupOfTexasHillCountry/
http://brokeboomers.blogspot.com/

I am corresponding with these sites to get something going.

I try to get s little aquaponic system set up.

BOOMERS AND Aquaponics

2011-02-24T18:47:00.000-08:00

This is something I wanted to do since before the first Mother Earth News.
http://www.compostguy.com/category/aquaponics/

This system usea a tenth of the water required by soil based farming.
Wikipedia definition;
"Aquaponics (pronounced: /ˈækwəˈpɒnɨks/) is a sustainable food production system that combines a traditional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a a symbiotic environment. In the aquaculture, effluents accumulate in the water, increasing toxicity for the fish. This water is led to a hydroponic system where the by-products from the aquaculture are filtered out by the plants as vital nutrients, after which the cleansed water is recirculated back to the animals. The term aquaponics is a portmanteau of the terms aquaculture and hydroponic." This would be especially good if the land is dryland.

We might still like electric power and we might get. at least some for "earth batteries". The first earth battery was built by Alexander Bain in 1841 - oph! what about the "Baghdad Battery"?

Terracotta pot approximately 5 in tall containing a copper cylinder made of a rolled-up copper sheet, which houses a single iron rod. The iron rod was isolated from the copper by bitumen stopper, and both rod and cylinder fit snugly inside the opening of the jar. This is vary similar to the earth battery, albeit on a much smaller scale.

The Baghdad Battery or Parthian Battery seem to have been used in the time of Jesus Christ.

Need to look into the Earth Battery more!!

If you are wondering how this post got to batteries, We need to have electric to power the submersible pump to cyrculate the water from the fish to the plants. It's gravity feed though the plants to the fish.

BOOMERS AFTER FINDING THE LAND

2011-02-23T19:11:00.000-08:00

The land is found, shelter is found, water is found, but the land is rocky limestone.

It won't grow much!!

how 'bout;

Spirulina - 65 to 71 percent protein, one of the earliest organisms and considered an estremeaphyl
eight essential amino acids are found in Spirulina:

* ISOLEUCINE (4.130/o): Required for optimal growth, intelligence development and nitrogen equilibrium in the body Used to synthesize other non-essential amino acids.
* LEUCINE (5.8001o): Stimulator of brain function, increases muscular energy levels.
* LYSINE (4.000/o): Building block of blood antibodies, strengthens circulatory system and maintains normal growth of cells.
* METHIONINE (2.170/o): Vital lipotropic (fat and lipid metabolizing) amino acid that maintains liver health. An anti-stress factor, it calms the nerves.
* PHENYLALANINE (3.950/o): Required by the thyroid gland for production of thyroxine which stimulates metabolic rate.
* THREONINE (4.170/o): Improves intestinal competence and digestive assimilation.
* TRYPTOPHANE (1.1301o): Increases utilization of B vitamins,improves nerve health and stability of the emotions. Promotes sense of calm.
* VALINE (6.0001o): Stimulates mental capacity and muscle coordination.

Spirulina can be grown in a ten gallon aquarium.

Take out all the stuff inside and save it (it can be used). Put in a sunny place and fill with water.
Put in the Spirulina, you should let set for a day son the chlorine will evaporate (this assumes you are using a public water supply).

There are place to buy Spirulina.
Instead of listing now I want to move on to a couple other points.

You have the LAND, SHELTER. WATER. With water you can also do hydroponics in poor soil. You can grow in 2 liter salvaged coke bottles, buckets and so on.

Al this while you are creating terra preta in a trainable area.
From Wikipedia;
"Terra preta (literally “black earth” in Portuguese) is a type of very dark, fertile anthropogenic soil found in the Amazon Basin. Terra preta owes its name to its very high charcoal content, and was indeed made by adding a mixture of charcoal, bone, and manure to the otherwise relatively infertile Amazonian soil, and stays there for thousands of years.[1] [2] It is also known as “Amazonian dark earth” or “Indian black earth”.:

Left - a nutrient-poor oxisol; right - an oxisol transformed into fertile terra preta
