Oil spill

I am saddened by the oil spill in the gulf. It will take over 100 years to clean up.The people responsible that is the CEO,s Have to be held accountable. There should have be a system developed at the same time as deep water drilling was developed to contend with potential problems.
With any system as complicated as a drilling platform these things will happen. It will be up to the small people to ban together and fund a legal challenge against the perpetrators of this crime. Because it is a crime. Otherwise they will get off scott free and will laugh all the way to the bank. It has happened before in the gulf and will happen again. If they need someone who can stop the oil leak they may call on me by putting a comment in the comment section and I will reply. It is a simple job in adverse conditions, Granted.

I did work in strata control and work as a commercial diver and engineer as a matter of interest.

Just read this fantastic book

I read this book about engineered houses and thought you might like to read it.Its about houses and how to make them and a lot of fun stuff to boot..Rex Roberts' Your Engineered House

The passing of a legend

My Old mate Donny the race horse owner Died on Sunday he didn't want to go. He was the one featured in a previous post about recycling.He will be sorely missed by the nurses at Gundagai hospital for his humor in his last days. Donny worked on many things during his wonderful life and the only thing that bothered him was his arm and even then he never complained, which went into a peach canning machine. Which smashed his arm in many places leaving it with a permanent bend which was noticeable if it was pointed out. His only big winner in the racing game was Sanjapaddy. Donny was a big winner in the game of life. He was the last person to get kicked out and barred from the Hume hotel before it closed for of all things, Fighting at the age of seventy.  One occasion saw one of his work mates get injured and Donny bought his kids presents for Christmas. Spending his entire pay he lived on home grown potatoes and trapped rabbits for the next two weeks. Donny never married that I know of but could have many times over. I was in Tumut and we got hungry and we both had little money, and we were both hungry we fronted up to the country woman's association meeting hall under Donny's initiative. Well the biggest feed was rustled up in minutes by the old ladies who swooned over Donny. Then there was the time Donny and I got  into the bin behind Woolworth's to get groceries out of the bin. This was in the days before they put the out of date meat into sausages. There was every type of food available but with out of date stickers on it. Don't happen any more they were the days.....bye Donny

Donny's dog Bessy rescued from being shot, and what a dog she is.

electricity generation

Gundagai is in a prime spot to generate electricity from the river using multiple propeller type turbines placed in the river flow. Power 24/7

About time

Two rural doctors from the iconic Australian town of Gundagai today announced plans to tackle climate change from the ground up...literally.

Drs Paul Mara and Virginia Wrice-who have been doctors in Gundagai for nearly three decades-have committed to planting 5000 trees a year indefinitely and achieving a carbon neutral surgery by the end of 2012.

"It is clear that everyone has a role to play in meeting the challenge of climate change" said Dr Mara, who is also Vice President of the Rural Doctors Association of Australia.

"Leaving this important issue to politicians and bureaucrats alone is no longer an option.

"There is no doubt in our minds about the science of climate change and the potential adverse effects this will have not just on the wellbeing of the planet but on individual health too.

"Trees will be planted locally from local seed and ultimately a private fund will be established to continue this work."

The Gundagai Medical Centre is a fully integrated and modern health centre with a focus on providing a range of medical and allied health services. It is also a teaching practice for medical students, prevocational hospital-based residents and rural registrars.

In more than 27 years of living and working in Gundagai, Drs Mara and Wrice have provided full support for the local hospital including inpatient and emergency care after-hours.

"We love living and working in the country, and this is a small way we can give back to the bush and the community" Dr Mara said. "It complements other initiatives in the local area such as the development of a wind farm and the use of recycled water for the local golf course."

Warrants

The police are overwhelmed with trying to get criminals who don't pay there fines for various offenses some of them serious. Most of these criminals are on benefits of some sort paid by the tax payer. What would stop this waste of time and resources would be if the Police could notify the social security and a stop payment was ordered. Then the criminal would have to get a docket signed at the police station to get back on the system. Hey no looking for them they would come in on there own account. Money time and resources saved simple. Wont happen too simple for the simpletons in charge.

Computer tracking chip

The government is to introduce rfid chip to be placed under the skin of criminals and other persons of interest. Is nothing sacred will they also be able to introduce chemicals on demand with the chip? Is this another way of introducing the national identity chip, probably. All thanks to the baby faced assassin and the labour party.

cats and flees

Cats carry flees around the neighbourhood at night and drop them where ever they go. Little lizards kill flees thats what they eat.  Flees ticks and lice are good food for lizards.
Cats kill lizards as natural prey they are good at it.
Kill the cats that roam of a night and you kill the flees. Make shore you have lizards though and protect them with homes of there own they also eat cockroaches and the like....

removal

I have removed one of my posts because of the rabbit proof firewall, It contained a child with no cloths on eating from a bowl of porrage and his private part hanging into the bowl. It was a joke about recycling, not so funny haaa....$11,000 per day in fines and I was not prepared for that and removed it as a precaution...

If it

If it moves shoot it
If it grows chop it down
If it flows dam it
If it dosnt move mine it
If its clear polute it
If it works break it

Work cover

The deputy prime minister Julia Gillard was on ABC tv tonight 14/5/2010 using an angle grinder, it was a pathetic sight no safty glasses long sloppy sleves on her shirt and not watching what she was doing. Does she have a autherisation to use such a tool come on workcover do your job....Work cover has been notified and I will post there comment if they reply...Dont wait with bated breath.

Hobart convienciences

Tourists and public toilets

Keep your vomit bags from the air plane as you may need to use them. Tassies dont like you chitting in the streets in Hobart. Pollies don't chit and the trouble is the rest of us do. Toilets are non events in Hobart.

gravetrons

Gravetrons are seen in the reflextion in a mirror and are lost in the mirror that us not seen, that is in the missing parts of the reflexion that is outside the mirror. Its like the scrolling of the screen of a computer where does the image go that moves from the screen. thats where the gravetrons go but they are not lost they are still there. Move the mirror and you see them again, same goes for the computer screen. the image is still there. Break the mirror and you expand the universe because of the multiple images same applies for the gravetrons.......Simple if you understand it. Sorry for the quantumn thoughts......some times the people working on these things don't see for the looking.......

why so many power companies

Here in Australia they have all these new power companies to create competition for your dollar. Why? Its so the politions can give there mates jobs, and the only way to create them is to devide up a perfectly good system and have Ceos. at the head of each new company. Now the prices are going up 60% wonder why? You have to pay all them phucken bustards thats why!!!!!

green sustainable cheep electricity and lights

This is my old mate Donny the owner of the famous race horse Sanjapaddy,the sun was shining and we went to the rubbish tip and Donny said you could furnish a house from here . So I thought it could be done so went about it because Donny got a bit giddy so I got a chair for him to sit on, He said carpet would be good and the carpet was found and another chair for me. He said the cricket was on and he said a bit of telly might go good and a table and TV were found as well, A wind break was fashioned and a smoke detector was placed in the tree above him pots and pans and there it is home sweet home. Then this lady came to the tip and was asking Donny what he was doing and he said waiting for the cricket to come on! Pity we didn't have electricity but if I looked hard enough I would have found that too....cheers Stewart

lies taken from a web site on solar energy

wow using energy when power is turned off? don't believe everything that is spruked off about in the media and the Internet....this is how it read

"unplug devices that are always using electricity, such as cell phone chargers or computers. A startling fact is that on average, 75% of electricity consumed by home appliances is when they are turned off."

This was written by a person who says you can make your own solar panels for one hundred dollars.
There is a lot of work assembling a panel and if one connection brakes the panel wont work.
Do you have the equipment to work out where the brake is?
Started small an got bigger with the things Ive done over many years .
I myself would not entertain building a grid interactive solar system as the problems can be immense. By all means have a go at making a panel...make a smaller panel first to charge batteries or light an area at night , and with experience you learn, you can go on to bigger things . My blogspot started small and grew slowly so did the things we made. cheers Stewart

diy solar

Solar hot water heater is made from an old keg that I got from the rubbish tip for $5 and the pannel cost two dollars.All up with plumbing it was about $50.The keg is insulated with old carpet.Another way would be to put the keg into an old fridge with a glass sheet instead of the door.Paint the keg black and put alimiumn foil on the inside of the fridge, paint the outside of the fridge black, face it to the sun and wolla batch solar heater..cheers Stewart

national parks and marine resurves

national parks and marine resurves

I was down at the national park yesterday and asked the ranger about fishing and water sports and was told what was ok and not ok the photos speak for them selves, It is a joke when you see people raping the wildlife off the rocks and from the water. Now this is a national park and they do nothing and they do nothing about the platypus on the river banks.  So what do they do?????????O collect money!!!!!!! No jet skis no fishing bullschit......

No kick backs here

In my blogs and posts I write about I have never been given a hand out and what I say about something is what I have found out to be the truth. If I get something that is good I will tell you and the reverse is the same...

cooking

I reads on the net that people are getting clogged up with Teflon and thought! How about we go back to the not so old days when we cooked in cast iron pots. You says that they rust and are hard to keep clean and they rust. This is right if you screw it up. My best pot came from the rubbish tip and was full of rust and needed to be cleaned! The cleaning process took about two minutes on the camp fire and was heated and quenched in the river and walla all the rust was gone. Now comes the tricky bit place the pot in the fire and heat up, while this is happening mix up some of your favorite oil or fat (Dripping) then an egg is added and placed in the pot. Stir the contents of the pot and even paint the outside of the pot with the oil and fat with the egg mixture while it is still hot. Now it gets tricky here and this will go against all cooking ideas about being clean, you burn the schit out of the bustard and then quench it in the river again, If any schit left in the pot you gets some sand and gravel from the river bank and you use this to clean the pot and give a final rinse in the water. Now you have a non stick pot that won't rust. Repeat the process above if necessary.

More photos of river distruction.

Going back and photographing you get to see the differences and to know what is happening. The water has fallen and you see the erosion on the banks in the first photo.

 The second photo shows the piles of wood that have been burnt releasing hundred tons of co2 to the atmosphere. You will also note they the soft woods have burnt and the gums are left behind, this is because they take longer to dry out. So much for the government departments saying there was only willows dozed out. They didn't even go and have a look and if they did they didn't know what they were looking at. Maybe money talks.

The third photo shows that there was wildlife there as this is a freshly dug wombat's burrow.

Automotive murder

I looks at the News and sees that four people died in a cars smash in Canberra,and the passenger in that car that ran the red light is still alive. Remember that the car was doing over two hundred klm /hour. This being the case then the joker who was driving the car followed by the police was probably on bail for some other Indictable offense. (felony in the USA)

Now if this being the case,

 I would advise the relatives of the car that got smashed into to take out a summons to have the person who let this joker out of prison or out on bail be charged with aid and abet with the murder of there family members. The person you look at would probably be a magistrate as the police wanted him behind bars and didn't get there way. Now if you get a goal term and do one third of the sentence you can be let out on good behavior early. Now if this was also the case then again, I would have the persons who let him out charged with aid and abet the murder of those family members. The sheila who was in the car with this joker I would have her charged with aid and abet with the murder of those family members as well if she lives.

The trouble is that the police do not have any credibility or authority as they are undermined by slack magistrates and councilors who feel sorry for these jokers. Well I feel sorry for the families of the dead ones who get a life time sentence for doing nothing wrong. I also feel for the families of the perpetrator's of these crimes.

stove

On the 14/11/09 I was building a stove and had trouble with it smoking and not drawing,With some modifications it is working great so here is the final posting on the stove. The photo above shows the fire alight note the large timber in the fire.

This shows the smoke coming from the stack.  

this photo shows the stove in full flight with a good fire in its belly, the wood was damp.
