The Great Ethanol Scam

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

There is so much to comment on in the Business Week article The Great Ethanol Scam. But all I can say is it’s about freaking time! Now while lauding recongnition of the ethanol scam I find Butanol rather interesting and wonder why we’ve heard so little about it? But, I’m leary of any “biomass” alcohol [...]

Mysterious winged cat baffles animal experts

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

Since the experts can’t figure out the “winged cat” I would question that they’re experts… I have a self-adopted (meaning we weren’t given a vote) feral who looks exactly like the pictures including the wings. On ours those wings are the matted hair being shed and pop up like that until they finally fall off. [...]

Tour Pak Installed

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009

The guys at Hackleman got the trunk repainted and I was able to pick it up this morning. The up side is those pock marks are going to be much less likely to show up after sitting in the sun now that the glass has more or less gassed. Fingers crossed anyway. They even painted [...]

On the brink of President Obama socializing our health care industry the Canadians remind us why its a bad idea… Dying at home improves hospital efficiency

Former President Clinton Named Special Envoy to Haiti

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

I wonder if Bill President Clinton being sent to Haiti could be considered attempted murder? Bill + island of tropically clad Caribbean women + one of the highest HIV rates in the world = they’re trying to off him!

Almost there

Sunday, May 17th, 2009

A few weeks ago now the last of the parts showed up to mount the tour pak on the VTX. Finally last weekend got around to mounting it up. All the major components… Oldy’s Tour Pak Nice trunk, needs some minor clean up from mold marks but nothing unreasonable. Fresh fiberglass smells bad… The hardware [...]
