Monday here. Hopefully I’ll  get my car or scooter back this week, no more carpooling with the wife, making me late and her early.

I’ve been looking for a topic for today, In the news, a dam spillway is expected to fail in Norhtern California, many thousands have been exacuated. Read it HERE.

And the benefits of eating more ginger, HERE is the article.

Also a girl in Italy who sent a sex video to some friends comitted suicide, her friends shared it and shared it, and there were T shirts with the girls picture on it and it went quite viral. It’s a pity, I think sex should be fun, uninhibited and playful, not something taboo like in so many societies. HERE.

It was a pretty nice weekend, Saturday we went to a party which was very nice. I left the party and went to a CIMRA meeting (Cayman Islands Motorcycle Riders Association) for a couple of hours and then went back to the party. I dont think I was even missed.

Sunday, I went and rode my bicycle to the beach. It was pretty windy at the beach I went to and I didn’t swim, but riding was nice.

AND now it’s Monday. Bah humbug! Have a good week!

Life is hard without transportation. My car and scooter are both in the shop, as my millions of daily readers already know.

Hopefully I’ll get one of the two back soon.

Glad it’s Friday!

I took my car to get the exhaust fixed. When I got it back it was messed up. Bad alternator is the verdict. So now my scooter and car are in the shop, and I’m riding with the wife.

Every car I’ve ever had, when I decide to sell it, the car breaks down, like they know and are punishing me for my disloyalty.Maybe I’ll rent a car.

Almost Friday! Have a good day!

I wish!

Sweden has been experimenting with six-hour days, with workers getting the chance to work fewer hours on full pay, but now the most high-profile two-year trial has ended – has it all been too good to be true?
Read the Article HERE!

Many people don’t know that it was Henry Ford of Ford Motors who originated the 5 day, 40 hour work week. I’ve always said if I could go back in time and talk to him, I’d say “ten hour days, four days a week. Take my word for it, I’m a time traveller.”

Six hour days would be nice! How about four eight hour days a week? Weekends are too short!

Happy Hump Day!

HERE’S a new one, radiation clouds while flying.

That’s pretty interesting. One more thing to worry about, not that I care…

After I failed to fix my own exhaust system last week, I took the car to have it done. I dropped it off yesterday and it wasn’t finished by time to go home, so I had to bum a ride with my Wife. Also I’m catching a ride in with her this morning.

Coffee is good this morning, that’s a relief. Sometimes I make a really bad pot o’ coffee.

Have a wonderful day!

It was a very disappointing game for a game I didn’t care anything about in the first place.First half was all  Atlanta, second half was all New England.I think the halftime is too long.

Amd now it’s Monday and I didn’t get enough sleep last night.

Have a good week! 

Finally, it’s Friday. This morning I got up, showered, dressed, fed the animals, sat down to post my post and thought, “Where’s my coffee?” I forgot to make coffee. So I made it, and boy oh boy is it good!

Today is Feburary 3rd, tomorrow, Feb 4th marks 20 years that I’ve been living on this wonderful island in this wonderful country. I cold never go back to live in the USA.

Here’s to 20 more!

Have a great weekend!

I bought this exact product to repair a leak in my exhaust.What a waste of time and money. The package contained a foil envelope with what seemed to be a strip of wet tissue, a small piece of aluminum tape, and a tiny coil of wire. The instructions say  to wrap the wet tissue bandage (tightly) around the leak and hold in place with the wire. The aluminum tape (heat shield) is not mentioned in the instructions.

SO, I opened the foil bage with the bandage. It rips as I am unfolding it. It ripped repeatedly as I tried to wrap it around my exhaust pipe. Then I tried to secure the bits of wet tissue to the pipe with the wire, which was coiled like a spring.

I considered trying to wrap the whole mess up with the foil tape, but I didn’t think the adhesive would stick to the wet toilet paper “bandage”. Besides, there was no airtight seal with the bandage, the whole thing was a mess and a joke from the beginning. I took wire cutters and cut the wire off and removed all the wet tissue/toilet paper. Then I came upstairs and we had pizza for dinner. 

When I started typing this, it was raining pretty good, a cold rain. Good, we needed it.It’s not raining now though. 

Tomorrow’s FRIDAY!!! 

Have a good day.

In the 50 plus years that humans have been exploring space, a lot of debris have accumulated in ordit.

Japan made a satellite that “fishes” like a net that is supposed to slow down this junk causing the orbit to decay, and burning up as it falls back to earth. However, there seems to be a problem with it, as Japan is unnsure whether the “net” has deployed. Read article HERE.

I read articles that say between half a million and a million pieces of space junk are orbiting the earth, with 20,000 said to be larger than a softball. Not sure what the significance of being softball sized is.

This space junk poses an ever-increasing risk to space exploration. 

It was very hard to wake up this morning, I was going to post about getting a good night sleep, but I think I’ve done that about a million times, plus, in the articles I read, there was nothing that I hadn’t read before.

Back to spacce junk: reading about this reminded me of the “island of plastic” that has accumulated, floating in the Pacific Ocean in kind of a dead spot in the Earth’s current and wind system. A topic for later.

Have a great day!
