But it has the parts if I am lucky that day. <br />I'm thinking about training Formosan Termites to cut down heavy timber by close order drill. Perhaps Sousa Marches would be the proper element. I understand that termites also can very efficiently release hydrogen from paper. You might want to look into this if the beaver doesn't work out.<br />Termites work 24 hour days, are very ambitious, and don't have to leave the job to eat. I'm also investigating the composting possibilities for those massive tree forts they make.<br />Good luck with the Rebellion of the Things.RCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-81621717367950853632009-06-10T07:55:26.983-05:002009-06-10T07:55:26.983-05:00Argh.

I do find that my own machines reflect my moods, especially my car and computer, so when they start going a little nuts, I sit down and try to relax, and see what is goin on in my own mind that they might be reflecting... I know, its a little out there, but from a physics point of view we have electromagnetic fields, and so do our machines, and when they meet, well, its not always copacetic... Just a thought. Good luck!healinggreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00409082849074411812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-87318160034576305562009-06-10T06:13:31.860-05:002009-06-10T06:13:31.860-05:00Two is one, one is none.

A man without a chansaw is like something without something, but I can't think of a simile that adequately expresses the horror.<br /><br />49 Deg. and raining yesterday morning in NW Missouri, so I built a fire. Can't remember that ever before. I am burning tires in the backyard as I write to try and kickstart global warming.tickmeisterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326756666072357726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2703718837080088488.post-14505929641273526082009-06-09T17:34:59.948-05:002009-06-09T17:34:59.948-05:00Its like appointments - nothing for weeks then thr...Its like appointments - nothing for weeks then three or four on the same day and at least two other events which you now can't get to!
