The Monsterhome has an office now!

With the advent of solid, 3g wireless data services tech entrepereners like myself can work wherever we can obtain solid Internet access. With that in mind, it was high time to ditch the seldom used dinette in the Monsterhome and build in a nice desk.

With some smart planning by myself and the cabinet maker, I was able to retain just about all the storage space that was under the old dinette. The new perfectly holds 4 averages sized storage boxes commonly found at Home Depot and other stores.

For Internet, I am using a Verizon 3g USB card on a Cradelpoint router and a Pepwave SurfMini as a WiFi WAN Bridge. With this setup, the Cradelpoint router can connect to the Internet via Verizon or, via the PepWave via Wifi at an RV park. The Cradelpoint at the center rebroadcasts a WiFi signal with normal security features as well as a captive portal. It also has standard 100baseT Ethernet connections for stuff like my Polycomm VoIP phone.

Add my ATT Iphone and I am almost as well equipped as at my home office which has a Qwest DS1 line.

Here is the new desk and cabinet.



Here is an old shot (5 years ago) of the old dinette.

My youngest son and I try to attend an informal gathering of Gearheads and their cars and trucks every Sunday. The event is just a few miles from the compound and generally has a great gathering of unique vehicles, always with one or two standouts.

This weekend we spied a 32 Ford "Vintage Rod" in superb condition and adorned with some really interesting early performance parts.



Not a fiberglass replica folks, this is all original steel, chassis and more with what looks like a 1940's Merc Flathead.



The mill had some very, very rare vintage, aftermarket Hot rod parts on it. Some I have never seen before and definitely $$$$$!



Check out the original "lever shocks" and drum brakes.. I suspect there was not a "Nav System" option back in those days.



Some really neat pieces here. Check out the vintage, performance coil on the driver's side firewall, copper fuel manifold. And the wiring has to be original, it is in excellent condition, all rubber and fabric insulation and has a patina that simply can't be reproduced.

Next Sunday we should be in Moab, UT. Not sure if travel time allows but we will look for the local show there as well.

Being of fit mind, soul and body, one of the things I look forward too is outliving the disgusting Hippies! This generation personifies juvenile, self indulgence which is a cornerstone of liberalism. Hippies are what became eco-freaks who became domestic terrorists and organized criminals and extortionists. Hippies are the disgusting ilk that screwed rabidly with the brains of our returning servicemen and woman of the Vietnam era. Hippies are what have gleefully spawned every weakness in our society.

CARTMAN had it right! Die you miserable bastards, DIE!

I figure that the majority of these immoral shitheads were born between 1937 and 1947. With the bulk born in 1940-1944. In the year of 2010, that would make these jackasses 63-73 years old and the majority, 66-70 years old. The life expectancy of a normal human being at this time is 74 years for men and 78 years for woman. Now that "The Kenyan" has set destruction in motion for the US Medical System, we can bet that these numbers will only decline over time. Add that these self indulgent creeps are far from the norm of sound physical and mental health and it's easy to discount their life expectancy by 3-5 years per gender - dieing off in large percentages at age 71 for men and 75 for woman.

Doing a little math, we can calculate that the strong majority of Hippies that claim to be male will be dead by 2013 and that the Hippies claiming to be female will be dead by 2017.

Let's go half way and declare "The year of 2015 as Liberation from The Worst Generation of all time".

Now, if we could only get this self absorbed, hypocritical, low integrity, immoral assholes to follow their calls to "save the planet" and remove themselves early!

GET IN THE BOX HIPPIE SCUM!!



Before I end this Blog entry, I have to say that not all things are so gloomy for this ilk of a generation. Check out "101 Things to do with a Dead Hippie" for a little, recycled humor on the subject.

Here is another version.




....

So it was Easter Sunday and its My job to go to my mothers house and hide all of the eggs. I head out in my dodge diesel pickup for what was to be a relaxing day with family and friends. Apparently I underestimated the reach of the Al Gore fan club.

You see, very close to my house there is a fairly steep overpass that I must cross on the way to my mothers house. Upon reaching the overpass the engine on my truck had barely achieved luke warm status. As any diesel aficionado will tell you, diesel engines do not burn fuel efficiently at lower operating temperatures. So upon climbing the overpass My vehicle puffed a small amount of smoke before the turbo spooled enough to provide adequate air for proper combustion. This whole scenario is nothing new to me as this is not my first diesel and I have become accustom to the nuances of diesel operation.

Then it happened. Like a tumbleweed encased in dirty toilet paper, a hybrid Honda Accord pulls up next to me. I look down just in time to see the passengers side window roll down. Then it happens. A pasty white figure leans over towards the window and yells "get a smog check". At this point in time one thought starts racing through my mind. Do I have enough time to educate this plant eater on the origins of her precious hybrid and still hide the easter eggs for the children? Uhm....yes, yes I do.

So with a heavy foot on the brake pedal and a firm jerk of the steering wheel I find myself departing from the primary arterial and entering a neighborhood street flanked by perfectly matching houses and foreign cars. I suddenly feel as if I am going to get a fine from the homeowners association just for having the audacity to drive not only an American vehicle but one with a cargo capacity in excess of what is required for a bag of groceries and a miniature poodle.

I see the plant eater exiting her carbon offset transportation device as I round the corner. She looks over to see my vehicle and shoots my an angry scowl. At this point I realize she is angry because she had shared her opinion with me and I had not shared mine in return. Being the caring person I am, I must make this right. I must share with her.

So I guide my vehicle toward her making sure to put the passenger side closest to her. Why not the drivers side you ask? Well you see after evaluating the vehicle she was driving and the neighborhood she lived in I felt she may be intimidated by the sight of a man who did not wear makeup and dye his eyebrows. I also wanted her to be able to get a better view of the smoke distribution port on my vehicle so that she could follow along with my lesson plan.

I asked her if she thought her car ran on bunny farts and pixie dust. She seemed shy so I did not wait for an answer. I began explaining to her that her car underwent a long journey to make it into her driveway and every vehicle that carried it on that journey likely ran on diesel fuel and consumed it at a rate far grater than my meager pickup could. She seemed to be getting irritable so I started to speak faster so that I did not take up to much of her time. I explained the manufacturing process of batteries and the difficulty of there disposal. Again I saw a puzzled look. I then explained the fact that diesel engine exhaust is primarily particulate matter that falls to the ground an that the gasoline engine in her hybrid actually produced a more airborne type of smog that is widely considered harmful.

I must have given her to much information to absorb at once because she started stammering around and spewing random words like redneck and asshole. It was becoming clear to me that she may have tourette syndrome and my words were not going to be comprehended. Then it came to me. She must be a visual learner. So I placed my foot snuggly on the brake and began to depress the smoke development lever making sure she had a ample view of the smoke distribution tube. Success.

At this point I see she finally began to understand todays lesson. As she bathed in the smoke, she covered her face with her hands and bent over in what appears to be an effort to show humility for not understanding the lesson earlier and a bow thanking me for the patience and time I took to teach her. As I was pulling away satisfied I had helped a lost soul, I was reassured that my good dead was appreciated by her gesturing to me that I was number one in her eyes. She did this with not only one, but two hands exhibiting the depth of her admiration towards me.

So next time you see one of those lost souls with an Al gore sticker on there hybrid, stop and take the time to help them. The feeling of pride you will get from helping people will make you glad you did.

The evil of this movement has not relented. In fact, it is more entrenched, more organized and much stronger behind a veil of lies held up by the minions of eco-morons at the lowest level of the charade.

The right to have children should be a marketable commodity, bought and traded by individuals but absolutely limited by the state.

—Kenneth Boulding, originator of the “Spaceship Earth”
concept (as quoted by William Tucker in Progress and Privilege, 1982)

We have wished, we ecofreaks, for a disaster or for a social change to come and bomb us into Stone Age, where we might live like Indians in our valley, with our localism, our appropriate technology, our gardens, our homemade religion—guilt-free at last!

—Stewart Brand (writing in the Whole Earth Catalogue).

Free Enterprise really means rich people get richer. They have the freedom to exploit and psychologically rape their fellow human beings in the process…. Capitalism is destroying the earth.

—Helen Caldicott, Union of Concerned Scientists

We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists and their projects…. We must reclaim the roads and plowed land, halt dam construction, tear down existing dams, free shackled rivers and return to wilderness millions of tens of millions of acres of presently settled land.

—David Foreman, Earth First!

Everything we have developed over the last 100 years should be destroyed.

—Pentti Linkola

If you ask me, it’d be a little short of disastrous for us to discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy because of what we would do with it. We ought to be looking for energy sources that are adequate for our needs, but that won’t give us the excesses of concentrated energy with which we could do mischief to the earth or to each other.

—Amory Lovins in The Mother Earth–Plowboy Interview, Nov/Dec 1977, p.22

The only real good technology is no technology at all. Technology is taxation without representation, imposed by our elitist species (man) upon the rest of the natural world.

—John Shuttleworth

What we’ve got to do in energy conservation is try to ride the global warming issue. Even if the theory of global warming is wrong, to have approached global warming as if it is real means energy conservation, so we will be doing the right thing anyway in terms of economic policy and environmental policy.

—Timothy Wirth, former U.S. Senator (D-Colorado)

I suspect that eradicating smallpox was wrong. It played an important part in balancing ecosystems.

Human beings, as a species, have no more value than slugs.

The extinction of the human species may not only be inevitable but a good thing….This is not to say that the rise of human civilization is insignificant, but there is no way of showing that it will be much help to the world in the long run.

—Economist editorial

We advocate biodiversity for biodiversity’s sake. It may take our extinction to set things straight.

Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental.

If radical environmentalists were to invent a disease to bring human populations back to sanity, it would probably be something like AIDS

Poverty For “Those People”
We, in the green movement, aspire to a cultural model in which killing a forest will be considered more contemptible and more criminal than the sale of 6-year-old children to Asian brothels.

If there is going to be electricity, I would like it to be decentralized, small, solar-powered.

—Gar Smith, editor of the Earth Island Institute’s online magazine The Edge

The only hope for the world is to make sure there is not another United States: We can’t let other countries have the same number of cars, the amount of industrialization, we have in the U.S. We have to stop these Third World countries right where they are. And it is important to the rest of the world to make sure that they don’t suffer economically by virtue of our stopping them.

—Michael Oppenheimer, Environmental Defense Fund

The continued rapid cooling of the earth since WWII is in accord with the increase in global air pollution associated with industrialization, mechanization, urbanization and exploding population.

—Reid Bryson, “Global Ecology; Readings towards a rational strategy for Man”, (1971)

The battle to feed humanity is over. In the 1970s, the world will undergo famines. Hundreds of millions of people are going to starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now. Population control is the only answer.

—Paul Ehrlich, in The Population Bomb (1968)

I would take even money that England will not exist in the year 2000.

—Paul Ehrlich in (1969)

In ten years all important animal life in the sea will be extinct. Large areas of coastline will have to be evacuated because of the stench of dead fish.

—Paul Ehrlich, Earth Day (1970)

Before 1985, mankind will enter a genuine age of scarcity…in which the accessible supplies of many key minerals will be facing depletion.

—Paul Ehrlich in (1976)

This [cooling] trend will reduce agricultural productivity for the rest of the century.

—Peter Gwynne, Newsweek 1976

There are ominous signs that the earth’s weather patterns have begun to change dramatically and that these changes may portend a drastic decline in food production—with serious political implications for just about every nation on earth. The drop in food production could begin quite soon… The evidence in support of these predictions has now begun to accumulate so massively that meteorologist are hard-pressed to keep up with it.

—Newsweek, April 28, (1975)

This cooling has already killed hundreds of thousands of people. If it continues and no strong action is taken, it will cause world famine, world chaos and world war, and this could all come about before the year 2000.

—Lowell Ponte in “The Cooling”, 1976

If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder by the year 2000. … This is about twice what it would take to put us in an ice age.

—Kenneth E.F. Watt on air pollution and global cooling, Earth Day (1970)

Culled out

Public input period for federal fishery strategy has ended

Attachment 8345
One sign at the United We Fish rally at the Capital summed up the feelings of recreational and commercial fishermen.

"When the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) completed their successful campaign to convince the Ontario government to end one of the best scientifically managed big-game hunts in North America (spring bear), the results of their agenda had severe economic impacts on small family businesses and the tourism economy of communities across northern and central Ontario," said Phil Morlock, director of environmental affairs for Shimano.


"Now we see NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and the administration planning the future of recreational fishing access in America based on a similar agenda of these same groups and other Big Green anti-use organizations, through an Executive Order by the President. The current U.S. direction with fishing is a direct parallel to what happened in Canada with hunting: The negative economic impacts on hard-working American families and small businesses are being ignored.

Comments by Ophir: Folks, i stand tall on my claim that the Environmental Movement today is nothing but pure evil. The disgusting, self centered, power hungry, greedy and Marxist assholes at the top need to be in prison or even better - six feet under! Their moronic followers and blind enablers need to be treated like self centered, incompetent and petulant imbeciles with direct challenge at every single opportunity.

Just more stereotypical, eco-gangster creeps in this group. Why not, their supreme leaders mandated fraud in the Biggest Scam of the Century, ie.. Global Warming.

Using extremist views as self appointed hall monitors to God's creation for all humanity, these jackholes only want to enforce their ridiculous, selfish and demented views on the greater populace.

In the article linked above these flaming assholes purposely deceive and lie throughout the presentation. As Saul Alinksy :2gun: mentored them - "The third rule of ethics of means and ends, is that in war the end justifies almost any means….”

Their total goal and war, is the elimination of OHV's on all public lands - they just don't have the guts to face the public with such a self centered, arrogant and disgustingly ridiculous stand on even a semi-regular basis.

Take a moment to crap in their Guestbook as a prelude to a grand opportunity of finding one of these self absorbed cowards in public. BTW, they are not hard to spot being mostly emaciated old hippies hiding from the elements and the reality of nature under multiple layers of clothing and behind massive, post cataract surgery sunglasses. The only real exception are the spawn of irresponsible, liberal parents who cast their "parasitic, self absorbed, low self esteem and low confidence, empty soul" children to the world with nothing for traction except a trust fund.

Now for some humor but, isn't it too close to the twisted reality for these morons?
