07:47 – In the past, I’d filled bottles myself, but yesterday we tried working together, with me filling while Barbara capped. The two of us working together can fill about 2.5 times as many bottles per hour as I can do on my own, so that’s the way we’ll do it from now on. This week, I’ll make up the solutions we need to fill bottles this weekend.
I ordered a 24″ 1080P IP-TV from Costco yesterday. I’ll set it up on the table we use for filling bottles so we can watch Netflix/Amazon streaming video while we’re filling. The TV can also serve as a decent spare computer display.
@RBT – If Obummer gets his trade bill through (or he just legislates it himself with his pen, which is most likely) you could bring in some child labor on those H1B Visas. Then you and Barbara could enjoy watching your new TV as you supervise the urchins. /sarcasm off
Today the Magna Carta is 800 years old.

The child labor will no doubt necessitate RBT and Mrs. RBT as supervisors learning Spanish. Habla Espanol, Senor y Senora?
Ha, I just read that SM piece on the Magna Carta in my email, Mr. DadCooks. I used to have arguments with my dad when I was a kid; he told me they could redistribute all the property and wealth equally among the population and in a year’s time the same peeps would have it back again or not. So we still have overlords with control of wealth and military/police power and have had them in an unbroken line since at least the days of Octavian Augustus. But our current lords temporal have a limited run ahead of them; when it gets to the point that the State can no longer guarantee a minimally stable life of three hots and a cot and entertainment for the majority of the pop, we’ll have a greater likelihood of revolution and civil war.
What would it take for the State to no longer have this capability? A failure and collapse of the financial system? Grid down? Cities on flame with rock ‘n roll?

lol!
A Indian and African walk into a bar…
Sums up the libturd philosophy.
Which is mostly lies, damn lies and statistics. i.e., the lies: I’m a black woman who’s been hatefully persecuted by rayciss white menz. The damn lies: “I did not have sex with that woman.” And the statistics: “Ten percent of the population is gay.”
And so it begins:
Bullet-riddled windows, yellow crime scene tape, and evidence markers denoting where shell casings fell on the sidewalk are becoming all-too-familiar sights on New York City streets.
Now in an unprecedented move, a federal agency is joining the effort to get gun crimes under control, CBS2’s Marcia Kramer reported Monday.
I can see the tanks and choppers coming.
And some more fun chit to listen to here…

Wow, I just listened to that whole hour of Dave Hodges and the interviewer Rory something-or-other; the upshot being that:
The CIA-controlled and operated ISIS cells already in the country will likely detonate a dirty nuke on Murkan soil, that last part being something I’ve worried about for years now, with our obscenely open borders and coasts. Hodges thinks the target will be Chicago. This will of course be followed by nationwide martial law, with or without a financial collapse at the same time, and the weapons of the troops and police will at first be directed against US. These guys think that eventually the troops will start refusing to do this and then we may face decades of guerrilla warfare. They also agree with my belief that the overlords look forward eagerly to 80-90% mass die-offs.
As I’ve said here before, I have the feeling that some funny chit is gonna start kicking off real hard this summer, but maybe I’m off by a few months. We’ll sure know more by this time next year.
Hodges thinks the target will be Chicago.
CIA won’t do that. Obama may retire there.
Them boyz think that Commissar Rahm becoming mayor there was some kind of preparatory caper. Why would the guy leave his bigtime WH gig to become mayor of that shit-hole? Obola is more likely to retire in Hawaii.
Hodges thinks the target will be Chicago.
lol! That sounds like a “win” to me.
Yeah, but why not finish the jobs on Babylon-on-the-Hudson and Mordor-on-the-Potomac; we’ll complete the bargain by taking out Riyadh, Jeddah and Mecca, plus Islamabad and all the madrassahs. Hell, maybe we’ll throw in Detroit for a joint venture.
Cynical? Me? Nope. Thirty years from now the hadjis will all be our best buds, just like the Germans, Japs and Vietnamese. And guys getting blown up and blown to shit in these current wars will be having it done to them….for nothing. Just like ours were.
Kills off the pop of young, aggressive and hostile males with not much in the way of job prospects or contributing to the Imperial bottom line.

“No, you should never store food or water directly on a concrete floor. Either install shelves or just build pallets in-place by using short lengths of 2×4’s as spacers between the floor and 1xwhatever boards.”
Why not store plastic containers of fluid directly in concrete?
Would a sheet or two of cardboard do?
My kitchen has ceramic floor tiles. Would storing bottles directly on that be okay?
I’ll most likely get some shelves assembled.
I heard that Obama was going to retire in Asheville, NC and that they’d already bought a home there. That’s why Barbara ruled out that area for relocation.
The main reason to get stuff up off the floor is in case of flooding. You don’t want your water or food containers sitting in flood water, let alone sewage.
Ah, thanks for the explanation. In our house (on a hill) one door of the basement actually opens directly outside. So flooding is not a big concern – if water did get in from the uphill side, we’d just open the back door.
In the absolute worst case, there would be a stream running through the basement. By then, our house would probably be sliding down the hillside in a pile of mud. Which is a whole ‘nother kind of problem…and the disadvantage of living on a hillside.
Concrete conducts moisture. Anything sitting directly on concrete will corrode or rust much faster than not. And if there is humidity in the air, the cooler concrete will promote condensation at floor level. That is potentially an issue with the tiled concrete floor too. Cardboard will only make the problem worse by holding on to moisture.
I have some direct experience with this in our climate. I tried for years to NOT store any cans as they are much thinner than they used to be and will rust thru the sealed edges very quickly where they are sitting on anything when there is humidity.
As my focus has gotten longer term, I have stored more cans. I store the bulk of them inside a climate controlled area away from my home. I store some close to hand in the garage, and accept that I will lose some. I’m looking at storage systems that have the cans on their sides which will minimize contact with the shelf and should help with rusting. The only problem is time- everything more than just stacking them takes more time…..

That’s been denied by the White House. Also, if they did buy property there, it would show in the county records.
I hope he’s not moving there. Asheville is only a bit over a hundred miles and about 2.5 hours from where we’re moving. I’d hate to have the SOB that close to us.
Obola bought a home in Hawaii recently:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/11485680/Obama-linked-to-Magnum-P.I-beachfront-home-in-Hawaii.html
Yeah, my guess is that “retirement” will be in Hawaii; plenty of golf, sun, and isolation from what he hath wrought on the mainland, and hell, it’s his birth state. So we are told.
I doubt it would be bought in his name. We can see how that’s done. A charity foundation. Because they do so much good.
The super-rich have been very busy in the last few years funneling their wealth into various “charitable” foundations, controlled by them while they’re still corporeal and after that, under the steady hand of picked managers who supervise it all for the progeny. Unto perpetuity.
But still they fear the mobs with torches and pitchforks.
Alas, I am torchless and pitchforkless.
Better tool up, homes!
