Awe crap! I don’t need another hobby, really, do I? Unfortunately, this one just sort of sneaked up on me when my attention was diverted elsewhere. “What is Electroculture?” The best “quick read in” is my friend Robert A. Nelson’s RexResearch site summary and overview paper here: Electro-Culture: Stimulation of plant growth with electricity, magnetism, … Read More
Sorry to report the anti-Alzheimer’s light project (designed to flick at 40 Hz to potentially improve cognition) didn’t get completely finished this week. Too little time and too much else going on. But we did make a good start on assembly, so let’s go from there. We begin with the pile of parts. (See last … Read More
Yes, we are going to build something (first of 2 parts today) but there is a TON of important background to wrap-around before heading into the shop. So, from the beginning…NONE OF THIS IS MEDICAL ADVICE. You are reading ravings of a crazy man – pure and simple – right? We have, over the years, … Read More
Mediterranean? Keto? Paleo? Bewildering choices, We have a few ideas. Which is well-timed since right after this morning’s post, Elaine and I go in for fasting blood draws. Key to us is the idea of “instrumentation” of senior health. In addition to the electronics of aging – a recording pulse-ox, CPAP data software, and a … Read More
With the return of G2 to family lands this past week, we’ll start with the father-son diet challenge part. Because I’ve watched my son’s approach to dieting and it’s really interesting. Almost Goggins-like hard core… When left (gun-banning) Washington State, he was about 200 pounds. A week later he was at 184. The secrets he used … Read More
My consigliere – a wizened tax attorney – is more than slightly savvy on Money. He was projecting an “economic showdown with China” as early as 1979. And here we are… So, when he called to talk about the “hollow money” problem – we both (being students of Long Wave Economics – knew exactly what … Read More
The ShopTalk Sunday column is about making things to eat. But not just any things. There’s the whole aspect of doing of things to perfection woven into the mix, too. Which leads directly to Tuesday’s disaster which rippled to within inches of becoming a $249 Chocolate Chip Cookie. However, many “Foodie” things are “cooking” here. 1- We will … Read More
Yes, we’re figuring things are going seriously off the rails, and we are holding a (painfully expensive so far) short position against the market going into today. We think it’s way overpriced. Why? (CPI) Well, that’s a good one, ain’t it? We are at an illogical point, even up through the futures this morning before the … Read More
Sheesh. Not a fun week for Ure. Turning 74 this month, I thought the Sun was supposed to come out, not go falling apart on us. And golden years? Pah-leeze! Got up at 3 AM (*brain on fire, couldn’t sleep) Friday morning. Wrote column, futzed around, ate and then my neighbor showed up and in … Read More
Fine tuning of prepping is in the works following the major ice storm in East Texas this past week. Today, a discussion of what we got right and what we got wrong. Very interesting “school” the universe provides! Plus, in our ChartPack, that alternate count of the (Elliott) wave structure from a few weeks back … Read More
Old Ure is tired and sore today – because knocking on the door of 74 (in mid-February) it’s not part of God’s Plan to be riding roughshod on a tractor moving wood. The wood, of course, came from removing two 100-foot plus trees with a diameter of over 40-inches. Two additional 90-footers, too. While sliced … Read More
Since this is a holiday weekend (no work Monday for many) I didn’t get serious in the shop real early Saturday. Too damn cold. It was 26 F and will be in the high 70’s today. You know the saying: “Pappy didn’t raise no fool.” Besides, I’m grappling with a case of woo-woo. Hell of … Read More
With the WEF promoting their global corporate-communism style agenda – buzz worded as “stakeholder capitalism“ (where corporations extend the evil concepts of the Citizens United case worldwide), the failure of the Ultra Rich con to ramp Covid into Global Governance under corporate auspices failing, the next Big Fear Sell is edging toward nuclear war. Someone’s … Read More
