Farking cool!

TOKYO - A new battery that can be recharged to 90 percent capacity in under five
minutes and lasts 10 years will start shipping in March, Toshiba Corp. announced
this week, hailing it as "a new energy solution" for cleaner transportation.

I really like the idea of free market innovation! Something like battery or hydrogen powered cars really get my mind business movin'. I would jump at the chance to buy a $500 battery that powers my truck for 10 years. Think about it, I pay $50 every six days on gas.

365 / 6 = 61 (rounding up) of $50 payments = $3,050 x 10 years = $30,500. YUP! Totally worth it if it is totally driven on battery.

I still need torque and I still need acceleration. Two things that the first line of Hybrids did not have and I have yet to see (I admit I have not looked) at the numbers for alternate fueled cars.

So to all the automobile researchers, I will buy your hippie car if you:

1. Keep the hauling power at or close to what my truck has now
2. Keep the acceleration at or close to what my truck has now
3. Keep the car/truck in the $15k/$19k average mark (respectively)
4. Keep the battery under what I would pay for gas during the life of the battery. And the cheaper you make the battery the better!

That'll be all, you're dismissed

Happy Repeal Day

Remember, Remember the Fifth of December!

Three scores and fourteen years ago our fathers brought forth on these States United a renewed light, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the position that all men are carry rights not given to them but born from.

Engaged of thirteen years prior, in activities cast with a bastards tone, these States United conceived atrocities against free men in a freed nation in favor of morals not uncommon to the tyrant. Evoking plighted righteousness and distain for enlightenment, men that called themselves great and pious stood before the great halls across this nation and proclaimed their morals the virtuous standard.

Engaged in a great war, not of nations, but of ideas, spread to test this great nation. Not only our nation but every nation for all time. Setting the place in history where tyrants mandate their morals and not the rights of mankind. That all men should follow blindly the precept that governments are moral. And that free choice comes only second to those edicts stamp forth from the great halls of this nation.

Of this land, Man and woman, child and elder stood against this evil for reasons of profit, of ideas, of freedom, or to be opposite of the law. The reasons stand for themselves of judgment for proper and fitness. These men, these woman, these children and elders alike stood fast and hard against the faceless tyrants. They stood against the good men tricked into service with corrupt propaganda, stood against wicked men with respected authority, and stood against hallowed buildings holding men of abandoned faith. These patriots stood tall and found others with them and in greater number then thought. All of these patriots stood forth to protect this nation from its own elected plight....they forth stood and won!

Mark this day, the Day of December Fifth, as a fight unfinished but perpetually continued. All mankind will carry freedom through the cold annuals of history. Forgotten faces in time but struggles long remembered and lived with every breath of life. Remember this day for the life of the Republic, may it be long lived and forever loved.

Happy Repeal Day

Christian Lights

I did it! I decorated my first house with Christian lights! I normally don't get into the Winter Equinox but I figure why be a scrooge and its not like I am doing anything pagan by hanging up lights! Its not like they put candles around their hut roof! So I figure that this is pretty Kosher.

Still not doing a Christmas tree but the wife and grandma are handling that so *I* am not doing it. I made my opinions known about it and they are opting to follow their own faith.

Anywho, I put up the lights! Yay me!

I also discovered that I have an even better view of the Hill Country than I first thought. When I was up on the roof I got a breath stealing view of the beautiful glory of god's land, Texas. I am even more motivated now to get the house built (going to be a separate post).

And...I only electrocuted myself only once! Thank you very much!

Tin Man

I spent the last few days trying to write up my opinions on current events that I thought had some moral taint to them. Every time I sat down at the keyboard I would engage in a flurry of typing and deep thought. About seven seconds into each post I would stop.....and load up my demo of Call Of Duty 4 and waste some boogie men. So who is actually winning now? Sitting here blowing them away in a video game or the fact that I actually think about them and know more about them then I did before 9/11? Boogie men don't win by might but on ideas, ask any Tyrant.

So back to the point of this post, Tin Man. For those of you that have cable or dish TV you would find it on the SciFi channel. It is basically a contemporary version of the Wizard of Oz.

It starts with a premise that there are two main dimensions, The other side (our side) and the Outer zone. The Outer Zone, or O.Z. (See how they did that.....brilliant I tell you!), is where all the gum drop kids and fairies lived before they got voted to congress.

The protagonist is D.G. ......yeah...come on. Which stands for ______? Come on you should be able to guess this! Go google the first Oz movie if you can't figure it out.

The antagonist is an evil witch, WOW plot buster there! And Oz is in peril of this wicked witch.

D.G. Has to ..... follow the old road to go see the Wizard for answers. She is joined by Glitch ( a dude with half a brain), RAW ( a Half man-lion), and Cain, aka Tin Man, that has a bitter heart after his lost his family to the wicked witches Hench men.

This is totally new material right here! To hell with those writers on strike! There is new talent that is waiting to be discovered! Why just take a stroll down to the mail room and I bet you'll find a budding writer. Go get'em kid!

Well you can figure out the movie plays out mostly. But all sarcasm aside I did enjoy the movie a lot. They did do a good job with the content of the show and only a few bits of references did get cheesy but on the whole it was fun.

And being a guy, my favorite part was the wicked witch. Cause she is all evil and all its hard to like her but holy flipping Keebler elves is she hot.

In the show she has this ability to release her flying monkeys from tattoos on her chest. Which happens frequently!

The gratuities shots of her chest make up for all the cheesy crap in the movie. ALL OF THE CHEESY CRAP.... yeah I am a sucker for the ladies. Its my curse.....DAMN THE FLYING MONKEYS! DAMN THEM TO HELL!

It is a three part series on the aforementioned SciFi channel. Check your local listings and keep an eye out for those flying monkeys.

The poop tank

The septic fella showed up early one day (last month) to pump my poop tank. I was a little concerned about my septic tank since I had not had it pumped since I bought the house. Problems can start if you get solid waste sucked into your drainage lines. It can damage your leech field (the area of soil where the effluent, aka poop water, drains through the dirt) which can cause backups and overflow your toilet.

When you buy a house and have a septic you just can't know what you have in your tank. You can't check it like you do with your engine oil. Well, I mean you can if you hate yourself and absolutely don't want anyone to approach you for several days. If you're like me you have some poor soul that enjoys the finer things in poop to come out and pump your septic tank.

I guess the reason why I am blogging about this is that I found the major source of mosquitoes! My pooper man lifted the well caps to my septic system (its partially above ground) and, I joke not here, a thick cloud of mosquitoes "smoked columned" out of the septic system.

Now that last statement can give you an idea about the problem I have been having with the skeeters. If that didn't then let me give you and idea. One day I was cleaning the truck out. I happened to look down at my arm and, no joke, I had at least six skeeters on my arm and another nine or ten on my legs. To tell you that I had a skeeter problem is to devalue the magnitude of the problem. I can't tell you how many days during the summer I have spent spraying skeeter repellent and spreading cedarcide (organic mosquito repellent) only to have a few hours of not getting bitten.

So now that I know the source of my problem I can attack! I took some screen material (for screen windows) and covered my septic wells. I then wrapped bungee cords around the base of the well so that it holds the screen in place and tight against the brick (Yes, I have brick wells). For a final line of defense I took strip insulation and put it on the under side of my concrete well caps. I did this so it makes a seal around the well to hold the screen down flush with the brick caps.

To give you a sense of how well this worked, my son and I spent and hour squishing skeeters that got trapped in the screen. Well over a thousand blood suckers died......Skeeters, not the IRS. Its now a month or two later and I have seen TWO mosquitoes during that time. In fact the other night I was changing my truck tire. It took about three hours (another story for a later post) and not a single bite!

Holy snapping sheep sh*t

Are you kidding me? Wow...........I am honored! Truly!

*Speechless*

EDIT: ok yes.....I am easily amused and take praise very well....to well. YES! I am an attention whore. Now give me my trophy and cookie and lets be off

The saga of B.S.

Why is Brittney Spears so much fun for me to blog about? Well put it this way; Some people lead by example and some people ARE the example....I'm doing this for the children

B.S. is now a confirmed drug addict

B.S. has mounds of public articles following her moon bat crazy behavior

B.S. managed to flash the world her naughty parts (and largly grossed everyone out, talk about a let down).

B.S. has destroyed he career....pretty much

Now in her on-going saga of her children.....well what can you say? Its like voting Republican or Democrat

One side you have a drunk, drugged up, free for all loser







- OR -

You have a spoiled, whinning, self-absorbed, self-rightious, no talent ass clown prick

Hey, don't ask me to try and figure this out. I am just here to watch the show and maybe get a bucket of pop-corn.

MSNBC Political Matrix

So this is kind of neat...

You go through this question tree on each candidate and based on your answers to four of MSNBS's selected issues you can see which candidate best represents you. Now I wish they had not revealed the candidates as you took the quiz but that's the news media. Bias as all get out and crooked as a evangelist priest.

Here is my selection:

Figures that Ron Paul matches me political views. Constitution restricted government, full range of civil liberties, less government, remove government from monitary management and remove the state-corporate entity from the market, OH! and he wants to end the occupation of Iraq.

Satan's baby

Ok, this is throwing my B.S alarm into the red zone. Find me one baby that smiles when having their brain fluid sucked out from behind their eye socket and I'll show you the next anti-Christ.


By the way, the picture comes from The Baby Catalogue

Back

Wow.....one month! I have not posted in over a month! Can you freaking believe that?!

I basically got busy as all get out. I have taken on a ton of new work and it has me working from 7am to 10 pm-ish most nights. Plus wifey found a gig with some content review company that lets her stay at home with the kids. Its rough right now cause she is closing out her contract with the clinic she works at. So two jobs leaves her with a tight schedule and I try to pitch in here and there.

Anywho...I have a ton to write about so stay posted or better yet sign up for the newsletter on the left. :)
