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...

The story of inhabitant in Kunugiyama Here is a photo journal of my new commute. Every other day I catch a ride from a neighbor. He lives 2 miles away through the woods. I drive my jeep through my property to the edge of it. I get out of the jeep, walf about a hundred feet to the county park trail. I then walk about a mile through the trails to my waiting ride. It is different and good.

The Hawaii Five-O Home Page More information about Hawaii Five Oh than you ever thought could be concentrated. I love this stuff.

Here I serve up a 16 MB file for the theme song. This could be a wait for the dial up folks. I thought the fidelity was worthwhile.

Victrola Music on Cassette and CD Early 1900's Recordings I was thinking that I should list something like the best ten musical pieces in my life so far. Of course, this list changes, but I thought it would be neat to list the way I see it today. So here it is: The following are not in order. I have listed the artist(s) or the the composer, sorry if I have not given appropraite credit. Tough. Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto in D Major Satn Getz: The Girl From Ipanema Patsy Cline: That Wonderful Someone Thin Lizzy: The Cowboy Song Frank Sinatra: My Way Pink Floyd: Pigs on the Wing Elvis Presely: In the Ghetto Solte: The Planets Morten Stevens: Theme to Hawaii Five-OH Art Farmer: Killer Joe Something must be wrong. I don't really have any devil music there?

Berkshire Eagle Online - Top Stories Memorial day weekend 2004 is now nothing but a memory. I am going back to my original Toastmaster club this evening. That should be fun. I got some of my trails mowed yesterday. I decided to stop when I almost got stuck in a mud pit. I will wait until it stops raining.
