better to get a gas ex (used to be called halon--today's name?) not the dry chem. as the fire pulls in the gas, and the powder just packs in place.

sad the only way to know, is for a bunch of intern's going around checking bear scat. i know sounds bad. but is the only real way. but as for a attack? of just feasting on a dead body. is a question that can never be answered. this is why one must never go out into the back country where bears are known to sleep for the winter.

Yosemite has a great way to stop overcrowding. every camping spot, including hike in. are reserved and at the gate only so many in. then one has to leave, before one can enter.. does nothing for the people count, as the tourist buses are exempt. i say bring back the yosemite valley railroad. https://www.yosemitevalleyrr.com/ it would be a great way to reduce the traffic in the valley. and be a great tourist attraction in and of it's self.

that is coming in a X number of months. it gets done every 11 months. (should be done by a birth date... but we are talking about a government agency here). i forget the month this year but believe around aug. maybe july. no real printed card now, so just not printed on something in my wallet. i get to wait till the dmv sends me a notice. but the drugs the DR's keep selling me do not work to cut stress in ones life. sure i now bleed easily. a scrape on my arm this past week. bled a lot, used to be i had to make a cut bleed. nose bleeds at random. Dr say's not do to bp pressure but, allergy's. i use the c-crap machine. only good i see in it is great for sleep at high alt, or when it is very cold, i can pull the blankets over my head. exercise is for people with money and free time. and a body that is not broken. i used to ride bicycles a lot. even walk a good deal (15 + miles was nothing). now no way. heck even the shooting ranges around here are closed down (for varied reasons).

well here is news for the web Drs out there. yes my home bp machine is reading way high. but the kaiser nurse today took a reading over 180/? /62. this new drug (a patch) kills me, at times it is all i can do to stay awake. and i did a rub cut pealed a chunk of skin almost off my lower arm. bled like crazy (for me that is), pre-drugs i had to make cuts bleed. today's visit was more like a wast of time and fuel. back to see them in another week.

nope. i am not sure as to what i tell them. but the state knows everything about me. i am sure they have my street addy, but all mailings go to my po box. (dl, reg, etc). not the street addy. all my reg papers have the po box, not the street address on them. my class A cdl has my po box number printed on it, not my street address. if anybody were to steal my mail. truck, one of my bikes, or just pick my pocket, they can only find my po box number. not my home address, but then on all reg paperwork kept in the (truck, bike, trailer) the address is (everything but my name, and state required identifier info.) whited out. the state has this info, and i do not wish to give it out to a thief.

heck even here in ca not a problem. i have been using a po box for decades. and some years back i decided to add on a motorcycle. i only read the hand book for the bikes. passed all the truck, car and motorcycle testing in one shot. i was not expecting to do more than the motorcycle test...must have been ten pages of testing for me. mine is a class A, CDL, so added pages for all my endorsements. none CDL, no endorsement testing needed.

so then the parts are only held together by gravity? not bolted. might come apart in flight? true i have not paid much attention to this toy. in a couple decades he will be broke, and maybe someone else could pick up the company for cheap on the auction block. when his first flight kills the crew. all his funding goes away. nasa = tax moneys. NOT privet funding.

she only lived a total of three years after getting the transplant. and was sick from the drugs the whole time. and i had thought about the supper glue. but it tends to not work right for me. i use it on my model trains all the time. but mostly it just does not work right. as it drys too slow. or gets all over the area i am trying to glue. but i keep trying. supper glue is said to be a good temp glue for such a thing.

he11 just had a full cap fall off a tooth. can not afford a dentist.

i am not much of a fan of having a dead persons parts put into me. not that they are from a dead person. but due to the very bad drugs needed to keep them alive in your body. as your body will always be trying to kill them. all these drugs killed my aunt. (replacement lungs). guess i am jaded there. yes i have the "dot" on my dl. but i did have a battery in my leg to make it grow, the option was cut it off. (long bone crush). not sure what was done to my neck. (plastic, metal, other bone?). might have to go back in for more work there. lower back is just good ol aurther. but in some years will require some cutting.

so there are no parts falling off during the launch? or deployment of objects into a orbit? not even the exploding bolts or paint chips? what has this rich guy done for the shielding of the humans? the radiation is kinda bad out there. and lack of gravity is not good for the body. i would love to go to mars so i am not a "anti". just a big skeptic. and i do not believe we have the right ships to do this job yet, might not for a very long time.

and as to fancy medicine. how about giving me a new back, and neck, lungs? bring on the borg. hell they would probable just trash my body outright.

don;t know "boasting how young i am" my body is broken. and some days i feel more like 192. sure things will change. at one time it was said if you exceeded 30 mph the air would be sucked out of your lungs. so you are saying that there are NO parts coming off the space-X ships? not even the exploding bolts holding it all together? it is all just slip fit? no i do not have access to any of this info. it is just a multi-billionaire burning off his excess moneys. maybe one day. but not in 100 years will space be of any value to human's. as the radiation will kill everybody. (aka proper shielding = very big $$. due to weight at launch). Theoretically, ftl drives... hell diesels and gas motors were around long before they were put to use. and Theoretically longer still. remove the tax payer support for these projects and maybe then something will happen. as living off the tax funnel gives them no reason to ever produce. but privet moneys want something for there investments. sure we solved the launch to fuel-weight problem.. but at great $$, what is it about $20 grand to launch less than one oz into orbit? some of the "test" motors have yet to do anything. except burn through hugh piles of tax dollars. and some should never be tested close to earth. then it takes decades to get anywhere past mars. (just a distance thing). what is it? mars is two au from us?and jupiter is twice as from from mars as mars is from the sun. then same math deal for saturn. etc. i believe that is how the math goes. so many miles, i just do not care. and then to another star, it makes a trip to pluto look like a lunch date.

no i am not a flat headed. just other stars are just that far away. it would take many life times worth of travel. one-way. (Alpha Centauri about 4.5 light years away) or with some of the "special" ways to gain speed one would be going too fast to stop. or so much power would be needed to try to slow down. a ship could not hold enough "fuel". (as in all the varied nuke stuff, half life's would be gone before getting there). sure i do not know it all, just what i have read about, the fuel is one of the big problems. the weight of the ship, and the life time of a human is the other. now if worm holes could exist? but how would we get the "other gate" there? ftl is not possible due to a law of physics, something about mass, and fuel. (more mass needs more fuel= more mass thus more fuel....etc....etc). heck look at the size of the Saturn 5 moon rockets. or the boosters and fuel tank on the shuttle. and that is just to get in low earth orbit. but what do i know. i am just a 62 year old truck driver. maybe area 51 does hold alien tech?

probely.

problem with using any card is the tracking. sure if you have "that" card the discount can be good. but most out here do not get that card or it's discounts. and some time back the airlines just one day said all your air miles are void. (gasoline in my area has topped $5.50 USD a gallon). me if i have any cash. it is in my wallet. or in the same place i keep a gun and ammo, as well as a receive only radio and a ham radio, and/or someplace very easily accessible to me. but i do like the thought about freezing in a block of ice.

but the launch did put more trash in orbit around the planet earth. we (as humans) need to find a far cheaper way and one that is 100% non disposable. if nothing more than no more nuts or bolts, paint chips. coming loose. sure i like to read si-fi. but humans will never be able to visit another star system. there is a reason stars are so far away.

sad. just the "good kind".

i love space, to bad we have this gravity well to get out of. but what good is looking at stars. that we will never get to? sure they say "due to the dimming" of a stars light there might be a planet there. but even this way over priced thing. still will not be able to see anything of note. how many pot holes could have been "fixed" not patched, for this money? and how much of the cash just found its way into the pockets of the supper rich? and how much more orbital junk did the launch put up there?

my way over priced led bulbs keep failing. ( in the short time i have lived in this house i have replaced at least 10 of them) the last of my normal light bulbs are still burning great. decades after buying them.

I have been taking the drugs for years now. i think this patch makes the sixth or seventh one i have had to buy. I have never been a salt person. i do not add salt to ANYTHING. i gag on the stuff. I have a full boat kaiser plan. (a very good one, i have been told). as to food...i am a truck driver. been brown bagging for decades. not really a fan of fast foods, i see my mom once a week. and she likes to go to dennys for lunch. only one thing good i can say about them. is you always know the "level" of food you get. my main stay of food at work is either a deli sandwich (i know bad food there) or home baked chicken. i just get sick of chicken at times. some spices... But No salt. i have not found anything online showing any peer review study proving salt is bad for me. anyone got a link? yes i need to drop some poundage. but my back says no more walking. just trying to work around in the yard is painful, so not much gets done. good ol aurther. my leg was crushed 40 years back, (sweated having it cut off for 9 months, no bone growth) but it came back a great 99.5%, i was 21 then. aurther got me by age 30. lung problems by age 45, a cancer hacked out of me by 49, I am now 62. driving down the hwy's, i have been shot at two time i know of, had most everything from fruit to large chunks of concrete thrown/dropped into the rig while driving. while out having fun. banged up. patched up. fallen down a very steep hill (with rocks). even had my head reattached. I truly have been screwed, glued, stapled, stitched, bandaged. been on the table a good six or is it seven? i forget now.

hows 30 US gallons for the low price of $160.USD. seen some places that are already over $8.USD a gallon. soon to hit a store shelve near you.

whats cash? my wallet is empty. (been like that for a couple months) and only $12.usd in the bank. maybe if i dig through everything here, I could come up with about $10.usd in coin. tonight's tank of fuel went on the cc... again. $160.USD for only 30 US gallons. (gets me through till monday). but at least i do have some food to get me through a couple weeks including water. being a "prepper" is only being prepared and is not a crime or a sin. it is just doing right.
