We had a couple of unexplained disappearances while I was stationed at Baumholder Germany during the early 80's (80-82). I supported an Army unit - 2/68th Armor. During the time I was there 1 soldier and a civilian employee went missing and were never found. Desertion and getting lost in the...

I have a large metal roof on my home (the house is ~2100 SFt. I use a portion of it where 2 pitches meet and I have a pipe and barrel system to collect rainwater. It takes just 10 - 15 min of heavy rain (I don't open the pipe till it's rained a bit and washed most of the dirt out (goes in the...

I have Zero Water filters for vehicular use and keep Sawyer and LifeStraw mini filters on hand for hiking and rough camping. Bleach made from Pool Shock - Sodium Hypochlorite- at least 60% in strength will knockout pretty much any bug in water. Dissolved solids are taken care of by the filters...

Evening all. Not really anything to blog about today. I did NOTHING basically :D I did go shopping and the prices in general have gone up again. ALOT> $10.00 for a watermelon at the "Not the WM". Unreal... These things sell on the side of the road around here for $3-5 bucks. Cans of veggies are...

In the Desert we had a couple of A10's I was controlling come in so low over the top of us, it literally sand blasted us from the airflow vortex's coming off the aircraft's surfaces. Those boys were loaded like a sailor on Friday night with weaponry, their squadron motto was "Ugly but well hung"...

I remember in Croatia in Dec of 95, just before U.S. forces crossed the Sava River into BH, we experienced a serious water shortage because the trailer mounted reverse osmosis processors supposed to do the job couldn't remove the very high levels of dissolved metals that were in the Sava river...

Evening all. Sorry for the blank space here for the last several days. Went visiting Saturday - at a friend's camp house on the river. Did some work and grilled out on a peaceful night with lots of deafening insect and frog noise! :LOL: Sun was spent recovering from "Too Much Fun" when I got...

Hey! I eat raw fish all the time and - honestly - I've never had a problem (but then I grew up on it). Some of the best from Take's Fish Market at the Moanalua 99 Food Court in Mapunapuna HNL. Now CLOSED as of Friday so this old local place can be torn down to make way for yet ANOTHER BEEPIN...

Can't we just go back to the 70's.....

Evening all. I spent a good chunk of today cleaning up after last night's storm. it really was a Deusy, it lasted for hours after parking itself on top of us and deciding to stay the night. Lots of dramatic T&L. Glad we got it though. We badly needed the rain. It even blew over my Guava tree...

Here are some pix of the Dokio 100 w I have. I haven't got any complaints but as I wrote above, it's not made for heavy everyday use in rough environments. I keep a towel in between them to avoid scratching - they scratch easily. The panels have an SAE connector integral to them which is one of...

Here's one of our local ones just hanging out in a vacant lot - It's 2 stories tall and Lord knows how old... Cheers!

Evening all. It was a Guppy Gaper of a day today, 105 f heat index before noon and 109 as of 3:00 pm. Now we're right in the middle of a really exciting thunderstorm - louder than Hell but dang glad for the rain! It's still 90 degrees out there though... Haven't had anything to post here the...
