Those who ignore the past.....

Think of it as a reboot, or "The Reboot"...


Yes, That is a pipe
So what can I say. If I were actually write about my life, it would not be believable, and as very correctly wrote in a different context, people are not interested in non famous persons biographies. I need for people to read my posts, or what I am doing is mental masturbation.
I thought of writing it as fiction, but again, no one would believe all this garbage happening to one person.
At the moment, I seem to have control, <crosses fingers> of my depression, although lack of a therapist (thanks CHD and Morgana!) as a backstop is a bad idea.
I don't have control of the pain, but am able to deal with it as long as I don't trip, fall, over-exert, <wishes he knew where the line is> carry weights, split wood or don't stay wrapped in bubble wrap.
What I will assure the dear readers, is that every word is the truth as I perceived it, I am not delusional (I think), and my descriptions are as accurate as I can make them.

When I stupidly keep trying even after every entity has proven to there satisfaction that I have lost, just remember I was and am a Bernie supporter. Hey if the xtians can claim there delusion is truth, certainly my accounts of experiences should have vastly more credence, Nu?

I guess what I am saying is that I will be posting here every day, health and abilities permitting. I have some stuff to talk about, and while I will try to make you smile, it might not work.

I think I need to apologize to some folks, although really I don't remember doing anything wrong, obviously I have wronged these people in some way. You might want to skip those parts if you don't like that sort of stuff.

planning for a reboot...

Chances are, you are here reading this, because you are either a friend, or someone who thinks very little of me. I have asked for comments from both sides of the aisle, in the hopes of maximizing perspective.
Obviously what I have been doing for the past 4 years hasn't been working, and now that I have hit rock bottom, at least in the physical and financial sense, I see no other way to deal with the situation other than a reboot of my life.
I will start this post off with my resume, and will be adding other documents to this post over the course of the day. Please note on the skills portion of the resume, yellow highlighting marks activities that I can no longer physically perform, Orange fields in which my skills are seriously outdated.

OK, It's Greenhouse Time


What is the “Net Zero Greenhouse”:

Quite simply the net zero greenhouse project (hence forth referred to as NZG) is a development framework for a class of structure designed to operate (ie grow food), or act as a adjunct to a micro, subterranean,  housing space located largely within the earth berm backing. As a development framework There is a lack of specificity in definition of building materials, as it is envisioned that they will vary from location to location, based on availability and price, with a careful eye towards meeting the design characteristics of the framework, such as heat retention and structural strength. For instance, the back walls structure in the above sketch is portrayed as silage bunker sections, as it was envisioned for an area with a large number of defunct dairy farms.In New England, the preferred approach would probably be a "box of rocks" system similar to that currently used in retaining walls. The front wall is portrayed as used “jersey barriers”, as these are readily available across the US, and are usually quite cheap and easy to work with. Please note, the earth berms are not shown in this image, for reasons of clarity, but are important for heat retention and insulation. Essential elements include, but are not limited to specific heat characteristics of the rear wall, the various face angles and geometries (as specified for a specific latitude), insulating characteristics of the facing materials, and the design of the overhang, which functions as both a reflector to increase#insolation during the winter, and a solar chimney during the summer. All of these initial specifications will be released and published as time allows me, but the initial concept is being published at this time for feedback, and to allow others to extend the concept. The original prototype structure was envisioned for southern NY state, but loss of backing and health issues preclude me constructing it there, or on my farm in Massachusetts.
