Ever have one of those days?
things going fine and then you get a number of folks that have done something dumb?

I seem to have had several in the past week or so. those dumb things are a time sink to me. i dont like letting folks hang just because they cant seem to listen or are hard of thinking.

its the heard of thinking that i dont like the most; tell a guy what he needs to do a job and next thing you know he's gone and bought the wrong thing. not because he's stupid but because he has a difficult time understanding that what you say is really what you need to have happen.

Folks just dont get it! Why in the FUCK would i waste my breath saying something if it wasn't what actually needed to happen? hell my wife gets on me for not holding conversations as it is, it's not like i like to hear my own voice so much i chatter like some stupid empty headed teen in the agony of adulesants trying to get laid or something. Even when i was of that age the option wasn't open to me.

for fucks sake just listen and follow instructions without interpreting the order!!!

my love says that its safer on land and folks dont learn how to follow instructions because they aren't so likely to die as a result of it.  personally i think she tends to be to apologist for the idiocy of people in the world in general. I personally think the world would be a better place if folks had some sudden death experiences to make them realize that its not some goddamn game when you ask for my help.

bhaa its the same all over; tell some dude he cant make an RMH out of all steel and just as soon as you turn your back he's gone and done it and then wants you to fix the fucking thing for him. again another time waster sucking my patience dry to serve some sort of compulsion to turn every problem into a nail cause all he has is a hammer.

My advice; "Learn to use another fucking tool! your brain would be a favorite!"
to many folks dont actually think past what ever stupid trade they have done to the exclusion of every thing else. like we need more fucking specialists in the world.

try other things learn other work; dont specialize yourself into a corner. this used to actually be advice now its all about being the perfect cog in the machine so when something breaks or is redesigned you are no longer of any use to the machine. stupid shit if i ever have seen it!

speaking of doing different stuff I am working on a parabolic solar hot water heater. looks like after tomorrow i will be ready with a test system so we can do our hydronic floors in the bedroom and bath room. should be nice. I am thinking of getting flag stone for the bathroom so when t heats up its stays warm for a long time. I also ran across an interesting thing about the fluid for a solar heater. mostly in our area they use antifreeze for the fluid however antifreeze can still freeze and blow coils. some one suggested using motor oil----- well duh!!! it wont freeze, its wont boil (under normal load) and it wont kill ya if you drink a little bit (sides its horrid tasting and you will know when you have a leak).

oh and  its far cheaper than 150.00 a gallon (food grade). so i was thinking that his would be a great system to set up for preheating domestic hot water and my hydronic floors. now i just need to decide if i want to run oil through the hydronic floor and the preheat tank or if i want to run water through the floor and preheat tank. either way i will need to be able to control the zones in the house. my love and i dont like our room to be to hot.  I also will need to find a tank large enough to dump extra heat to when needed. not hard just another time sink. however if i can get this set up it will be really nice for a shop. a heated floor in a stimson shed would be a wonderful thing for winter building. not to mention that i want to put this sort of system on the boat. it would be nice to be able to both heat and cool the boat so it maintains comfort year round. in summer when you need cool you just run cold oil through the floor and in winter when you need it warm you heat the oil.  looks like one controller i need is to a keel cooler for air conditioning in the summers. that reminds me that i can do a radiator type system as well.... Ahh the possibilities of heating a cooling when you are off the main grid.

well enough rambling.
