Some Important shit and not so important shit
Howdy You all.
I guess the Important shit first. Kudos to John on his great blogs on Occupying WallStreet and special Kudos to the people involved
I am hoping Occupying goes viral. I guess if there are local ones bring them sandwiches like we used to do in the old days. Keep feeding each other.
Some more important shit.

Ya know it is so simple really. Wind, sun and rain. Mother Earth provides for us.
It really is that simple. 1 single law that Public Utilities purchase power from Individuals and businesses.
A million homes producing electricity.
I would love to have a 2 KW wind turbine, the cost of batteries are prohibitive.
Maybe sometime in the future a wind turbine will be part of the building codes.
Now, the not so important shit.
I have found out the triangle thingies on the side of the house near the roof are called Gable Vents. I guess Clark Gable invented them. 🙂 Didn’t know I had Gables.
Reserved me some scaffolding for next weekend. Called a friend with a miter saw and bought 6 1×4 8′.
Was going to paint them and decided to mow first after I post this blog to visit with my good friends.
I need to prep the Slats so as to be able to hang them next weekend. They need a coat of Primer on them today on both sides.
I also have a fence panel down.
Stay Furry my Friends.
Important Shit
Yes the occupy movement seems to be catching fire. I think it very encouraging.
I may work on a research blog a bit. Mostly I will sit on the swing and enjoy the birds and pond. I have promised myself to drain it and store the pump on Monday. The masonry needs to dry completely before the first freeze.
Thanks Roscoe. That Gable thingy is very important.
Dang, Looks like rain. Unable to put a coat of primer on today.
I did get the Dishes and Laundry done.
And Mowed the grass.
Dylan and I got the big Air Conditioner out of the window.
I cool with 3 window units and heat with Baseboards.
My highest electric bill so far this year was August 80ish dollars.
Mowed the grass with my electric mower today. I love the electric. It is not self propelled and it uses 2 24volt batteries. It was purchased in 2005. I use a solar panel to charge the batteries. It is amazing they always seem full. but then again I usually mow once a week.
I also charge my 18volt batteries for my hand tools with the Solar panel.
It still seems to be under utilized.
I really think gas powered yard tools needs to go the way of the Incadescent bulb.
Hi there Roscoe!!! Just came by to say hi!!!
Here try this Sun Dance….maybe the Sun God will bless you with lots of rays…
And your neighbors will have something to talk about….hell you might end up on Youtube…LMAO!
The rain dance works by the way! 😉
OH AND The Gripper primer is the best! Kilz is fine! Wishing you the best…later! :love:
I appreciate this information. When someone comes in and asks for those vent thingies that go up near the roof, I can now smugly say, “Oh, you mean gable vents?”
My gable vents in NH have wasp nests in them. The ones here have a number of bats clinging to them.
The jacket potatoes sound great. Especially the lots of butter and sour cream part. Along with The Princess Bride. I’m not much of a movie person, but I actually bought that one to keep.
