        Just went to a new bar in epping. The Holy Grail. It is irish/english/medeival themed. Pretty nice inside layout. If you drink all 20 beers on tap and 20 bottled beers they will put your cote of arms on the wall. The food was good. We had the Scotch Eggs and they were really different. Basically a h

        11/10/08
        So the idea is everybody(companies) is given an allowed amount of co2 to emit(cap). They then trade for move to emit or trade because they produce less than their quota. So I want to have a cap and than I can make money by trading the near zero amount of co2 that I emit.

        I went kayaking at north beach hampton on friday. The beach with the seawall. This is the beach where surfers go. Not much in the way of waves. There were no surfers because it was high tide. There is a 30 foot sailboat on the beach. Some idiot tried to anchor his boat in the ocean. There is a hole

        09/24/08
        Since the stock market was directly responsible for the current financial crisis. Why don't we impose a 5% sales tax on every stock trade. I think that would raise 700 billion pretty quickly. If we just pay it then every tax payer whether earning money with labor or making money by gambling in

        Wood chips could be made on your own land from brush and trees. You could grow fast growing populars and harvest them every 3-5 years. They are available from all the tree trimming around town. Why hasn't somebody tried or modified a pellet stove to burn wood chips. They take a whole lot less e

        Yesterday after work I fixed the lawnmower by replacing the gasket in the carburetor/gas tank. I had taken it apart at least five times and I couldn't see what was wrong. So I finally just replaced it for 10 bucks and it worked. My neighbor gene suggested that the diaphragm(gasket) was so stret

        i got 170 gallons of biodiesel a week ago (last Wednesday). It cost me $5.04/gal and the bill came to about $854.00. I filled my tank up and it took about a 1/4 tank. So that is b25. I have the spare fuel filter standing by in case it clogs from the extra solvency of biodiesel. I will probably fill
