Saturday Notes

*
Above: Scored this diving watch off a freecycle table. Waterproof to 200 meters. Lense is scratched but that's OK. Cut off the skankified watchband, forgot to keep the metal buckle pieces. Oops. Scrubbed the watch with hot water and a toothbrush, cleaned up nice. Cut a new wrist band from inner tube, not sure how to attach the ends. Note: Install new watch battery. Below that, a single link from a chainsaw chain can be used as a cord lock.


Above: All free, and almost good to go.

Dead serious when I say that roughage will make you crap better and also make you feel damn good inside.

Saying it once again: The key to improving gas mileage is to ease off the gas. Go slower, don't accelerate quickly, coast before using the brakes, keep your speed low on the highway & use cruise control.

A friend's daughter dreamed that a big, big earthquake hit while she was at school. She was at the table doing art with her classmates and the sound of screaming filled the air. Then the room started shaking really hard and she and her friends ducked under the table. The girl's a kid, not more than 8, the dream scared her badly.

So, I'm rearranging things in the house to EQ-proof a bit - threw away a bunch of jars, double-rubberbanded the kitchen cabinets closed, in the process of moving stacked things to the floor. Also gonna stock the Beast with some food & case of water & keep him gassed above 3/4 tank for the near while.

Awesome backpack ammo box innovation by some soldiers out of Ohio: VIDEO LINK HERE. This invention has been a long time in coming. Let's hope it goes mainstream.
