LavaCon 2026 and the future.

LavaCon is a conference now going on 25 years. Its always fun at conferences where folks collaborate on what the future holds. This year I drove to Charlotte NC from Duluth GA to attend. I used the Tesla in Full Self Drive. I went park-to-park without touching the wheel for over 200 miles. It's crazy. I don't think most people understand how well it works. Lots of nay-sayers still, but it really does work. Be on guard, but enjoy. I spent some of my time "driving" while conversing with Grok as part of my daydreaming. I was discussing with Grok an idea I have of building a West system (cold molded) old style barrel-back runabout maybe 20 feet long- all varnished Mahogony. Of course this boat would have an exotic 12-cylinder engine under a transparent engine hatch between the twin cockpits. We discussed the designs, available actual study plans and pre-lofted design documents for the hull. We also discussed the best engine (perhaps a BMW N73) coupled with a Velvet Dri...

Perverts in TSA Wichita

Image
I was in Kansas most of this week. The TSA have a training center in Wichita. They are well known in my circles for physical molestation. Males often receive a "groin anomaly" check. I clearly told the TSA agent that he did not have my permission to touch me there in private or in public. He did it anyway. It really is that bad. I suspect they truly are perverts. Below is a pic of a very weird "tribine" machine that makes no sense at all. Also, a pic of the new canopies under construction over the terminal drive up area at Atlanta airport. Last week I heard of a former co-worker who died last week. He was 50. He was in good health. After a lot of speculation on our part we heard that his son has been arrested for his murder. mankatofreepress ---Lifted text follows : Text lifted follows: MANKATO — The Minnesota State University student accused of murdering his father reportedly stood to receive $500,000 from a life insurance policy and lied to police about his whe...

Generally a quiet week and weekend in Georgia. I put a new main tire on the plane and worked on the current remodeling project. All the electric is done. Sewer drain and water pipes, and insulation is done. I am hanging the 20 sheets of drywall on the walls. It will be done soon and on to the next project. Since the walls were opened up facing the garage, I put a 50 amp outlet in for a fast charger for the car. I don't need a fast charger, but it wont hurt anything either. Electric vehicles are the future. We have been really struggling getting my new truck registered. I bought it in November and I still don't have the title. I have learned a whole lot more than I wanted to about Ohio titles, Gwinnett county GA DMV and incompetence and belligerent behavior at Huntington National Bank in Ohio. Dozens of phone calls and screw up after screw up. The bank told me that the GA DMV is wrong and they don't know what they are doing. Pretty much unbelievable.
