OK, here's the next big thing - we can collectively monetize our septic tanks by selling the contents as Raw Water Concentrate.

But, you think, there are many septic tanks out there. Exactly! The differences in flora/geography/water hardness basically constitute the varietals. We've got goldmines buried in our yards and we even know where to find them! Kleiner Perkins, I'm right by the phone.

Want to go back to the state of the art, circa 1994? here's a 9 minute promotional video for the NewTek Video Toaster 4000, which was the cat's ass in the analog video editing world.

Son: Dad can I 3d print something?

Me: What? What do you want to print?

Son: A Green Lantern ring

Me: Duh. Of course.

After Raw Sunlight plateaus we can start huffing dust and contaminants to toughen up our lungs. I’m thinking like high-end vape gadgets and shops, with mixtures like “Love Canal,” “London ‘52,” and “Donora.”

Only a return to raw, unfiltered atmospherics can restore us to right balance. Gluten- and GMO-free. The richer the mix, the better the fix.

And I’m on here literally giving this all away.

Guys. Guys.

The reason so many of us need glasses is because we’ve gotten away from Raw Sunlight. I’m designing goggles that actually focus UV directly *into the retina* and am ready for several million in seed capital. Who’s in?

CNN reporting that frozen iguanas are falling from the trees in south FL.

Journalist: You have not much sympathy with the main in the street, have you, Mr. Waugh?

Waugh: You must understand that the man in the street does not exist. He is a modern myth. There are individual men and women, each one of whom has an individual and immortal soul, and such beings need to use streets from time to time.

Just checking in after a long hiatus. What's up, folks?

Got my HF rig back from Yaesu after a warranty repair. Happy to have the shack fully equipped again. Half-marathon training is going well, inasmuch as it continues. Closing in on the end of week 3. 6 miles on tap for Sat, and will need to do it early to avoid the heinous levels of heat/humidity.

Planted: spinach, arugula, cabbage, broccoli and bush beans.

It's hotter than 40 hells outside...SO LET'S GRILL PIZZA.

So the zucchini is about petered out, the butternut sqaush is done and ripening and we're just over the cukes at this point. The green peppers never did a damn thing this year, which is weird, because we usually have pretty good luck with them. Tomatoes still going pretty strong.

No matter, for now begins the mid-season replanting. I've ordered garlic sets and will get those in later this summer for harvest next year. On deck: bush beans and maybe salad greens. I have cabbage seeds, too. O_o

Ordered the license study manual for the Extra-class ham radio exam. There aren't that many extra privileges, but the notion that there's a third, final test out there is too much to resist. And I tend to learn a ton during the study process anyway, so what the hell. Will study for a couple of months and target the test for early fall.
