Another Transportation Device
After much deliberation, I made the choice on a
bike. A Bicycle , even though a motorcycle was
in the running. Now I can exercise with out destroying my knees and explore
the backwoods of Arkansas. But first, I must build my endurance. Luckily for
me living in the Little Rock/North Little Rock area, I have access to a nice and
easy trail on the banks of the Arkansas River. The River Trail is open and improving daily .
Evidently North Little Rock Parks and Recreation is progressive enough to have a
bike rental shop that serves 'ICE COLD BEER". And the location of the rental
shop will allow the use of all my transportation devices in one sitting!

Saturday night is allright for....
sitting home alone
drinking.
So I am drinking my Homebrew
and things are burning outside. Maybe may housemate put out the fire before he
went to work. He was burning debris and almost torched his shed. The same shed
he was tearing down to put in the burn barrel. I might get up to check a little
later.

The Boat
I have this 18' invader ski boat I acquired from
my Aunt and Uncle. It has been well used and has the normal share of problems.
The coil would over heat thus shutting down the motor, there was a STRONG smell
of gasoline, it would backfire, not start, stall/slow down in a turn, leak
water, and the fuel gauge did not work. After about two years of repairing the
items listed above, I took on my first group of passengers. Mitsy has been
before, but for short trips. So this time out....It ran wonderfully! No
problems in any way. I can add a boat to my ever growing list of running
transportation devices.

New possible site
Possible New Site
.Now I find a bulletin stating any
sites created by third party software (iBlog) will still be able to access
Homepage files, thus I can still update this bog at this address. I just can't
use the online editor. I didn't even know an online editor existed. Amazing
what you find out when you
read.4Runner is over 20 MPG,
except when pulling the boat and drops below 16
MPG.Boat runs well. Although I think the
fuel line is rotting and clogging the
carb.The truck has a fuel pick up problem.
With the amount of rain, I have not been able to look for a
solution.The North Little Rock Pilsner is
done, drinkable and good!

thank you for being a MobileMe member.
I will be
looking at my options over the next couple of weeks.

Pilsner
The current batch is a Pilsner brewed with the
healing properties of Hot Springs, AR water. The extract was on the shelf for
sometime and may be darker then most want, but color is not my number one
concern. The brew began fermenting within hours and will be ready for the
second fermenter tomorrow.
I will
bottling the brew as I do not have the needed materials for kegging.

Travels of a Rocket Scientist.
A Rocket Scientist recently returned from NASA HQ
and inquired about a notice he encountered on his flight
home. Printed on the Jet engine of the
airplane
STARTER OVERRIDE ACCESS
PANEL CAUTION: Starter system must be
pressurized during manual
operation.
Does this mean the Jet
engines can be crank started? Is this the job of the co-pilot? How much force
does it take to turn over a jet engine?

Exercise
I joined a site to help stay motivated to exercise
and I have the option of listing my top 5 fitness activities. Of Course Soccer
is number one, Swimming is number two followed by hiking/backpacking. I did not
list biking because I do not have a bike. Evidently fishing is a fitness
activity so it is listed number four. Rifle/Pistol/Skeet, archery, and hunting
are listed and it seems about as strenuous as fishing, unless someone is
shooting at you (this would be paint-ball which is listed). I understand the
concentration involved, but I just do not see it as strenuous. I considered
Circus Aerials or the Flying Trapeze for my fifth, but I stuck with racquetball.
So loyal readers, what do you do for
fitness?

Beer and Broken Emergency Vehicles
I am now in the search for a drinking buddy or two
on Saturday night/afternoon. I put my roommate to work on Saturday night and
Jack is working all weekend for me. I have yet to convince Mitsy to move to
NLR. Today I had drinks with Pops since he just flew in from DC. We made it to
Cregeens Irish
pub in Argenta for the first time. I arrived first and ordered up
two pints of Belhaven’s from the tap. We sat outside
and listened to the Harley’s cruise through the streets, watched the
trolley meander by, and enjoyed the warm temperatures.
As we sat and talked, an emergency vehicle
drove by that just sounded bad. When Pops left the pub, he passed the emergency
vehicle on the back of a flatbed tow truck.
