Cash Milk

I made a homemade incubator for my eggs. Found a cooler and added a heat lamp. I took a fan from my computer spare parts and attached it to a battery charger to circulate the air.

Here is a good flow of the beef industry. This is covers the operations that are involved to bring beef to your table.

This is my Rooster

You know there is a rooster ordinance in almost every city. Recently here in Sacramento they are allowing up to three hens within the city limits. Isn't this a gender discrimination against male chickens? I think they should file a lawsuit against the city.

Well it is good to learn that San Diego has allowed 1-3 rooster per household in the city limits.

People who already own several roosters will be allowed to keep up to three of them as pets, provided the birds do not create a nuisance or health hazard; are micro-chipped or fitted with a city-approved legband for identification; and are housed 100 feet from the closest neighboring home.

Sounds like these roosters will be on parole with microchips and ID bands. You can read more at the link below.

What about the neighbor's dog that keeps barking at late hours of the night? Yeah chickens are dirty pets, what about the dog that keeps urinating on the tree that my girls play around in my front yard? What about them dog owners who leave dog sh!t everywhere? Worst the stupid 2 pound  chihuahua that doesn't know when to shut it. If you haven't notice my hens lay more eggs with rooster around.

I am moving to Fair Oaks, CA. They have a ordinance called "Fair Oaks Village Neighborhood Preservation Act". Why did the chicken cross the road? Because it has the right of way, at least in Fair Oaks. Now if I can let all the roosters know they will sure all flock there.

"Most recently, Tsakopoulos has been in the news for acquiring a major Yolo County ranch – a deal that gave him valuable Sacramento River water rights. He cut a deal to sell water to Davis and Woodland for $3 million a year."

I went to Starbucks to wait for my girls to get out from school at Freeport and Sutterville, so I purchased a Naked mango smoothie for $3.45 after taxes. The kid behind the counter said $3.50 when the registered clearly rang up $3.45. I don't think he knew I caught that. I didn't want to make a big deal about it but it is the principal behind it. I just let it go because I was reminded that in many cases before the retailer didn't bother me for 3 cents if I was short.





I guess I have been drawing comparison between Freeport Bakery on Freeport and Starbucks. 2 tall lemonade ice tea and a danish is about $3.50 at Freeport Bakery.  I am just not feeling Starbucks and all this large corporation companies, well maybe it is not that bad because I am using free wifi.










The speed is pretty crappy here at Starbucks Freeport. .8 mbps download and 1.2 upload.

After 3 long weeks of waiting for an online purchase of the IBM Thinkpad from Lenovo's website, the unit arrived today via UPS. I must had missed the note that mention that it would take 2 weeks for the notebook to be assemble in China, shipped to Japan, and then USA.

A friend asked me why am I so hung up on IBM. I would have to say from experience, my IBM products have always been reliable. My bad experiences with other notebook are; bad screen hinges, over-heat heat sink, failed fan motor, cracked screen housing. Notebooks take a lot of beating because they are mobile, so a strong durable notebook is a must.

I am disappointed with the thickness of the T-Series. The new T Series is thicker than it's predecessor the T60. The Thinkpad series is looking more like the cheaper version the Lenovo Series. Also I notice the older T series was more compact, tightly put together. The new T series look like a plus model.

When you spend half your day on the computer and your right hand on a mouse for hours at a time, you will start to realize the versatility and ease of using a mouse track pad. It is a lot easier on the wrist and forearm.

The screen resolution at 1600x900 LED has excellent lighting. I have always prefer the matte finish to the gloss.  I don't need to look at a mirror all day, as the gloss screen tend to do so in the sunlight.

Thinkpad Series has a signature key board feel with minimal flex, last I remembered the Thinkpad keyboard is water proof. There is a video of someone pouring milk on the keyboard and the milk was channel through some drain plug underneath the keyboard. And who can forget the red tracking point signature of Thinkpad Series.

The speakers are placed in an area that will receive a lot of abuse. If you carry your notebook around like I do, your thumb will be applying a lot of pressure in that area. Again the titanium hinges will ensure the screen does not flip flop, I tend to carry my notebook by the screen often when it is open.

The Thinkpad is a business class notebook and it serious about its purpose, as I take my work seriously too.
