Last Notes npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell 😅 When I worked at the steel mill 50+ years ago, they were having a tough time getting us youngsters to wear our safety glasses. So one day, the dragged us into the conference room to watch a film about how they dig steel slivers out of the eyeballs. Even i looked away with a churning stomach but I wore my safety glasses every day, every hour for the rest of my working life. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell A guy at work was thinking of becoming a nurse. He changed his mind when he took the microbiology courses and found out exactly what "working with fluids (and solids) involved. 😆 npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Raisins are good. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell We took a family vacation sometime in 64/65 up to Vancouver Island. We drove past the space needle but didn't go up. Mom got to visit every single one of the 17,350,654 roses at Butchart Gardens. Jimmy started learning patience that day with encouragement from Dad. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell If that's the zoo in Eureka, my mom used to walk through there in the late 40s on her way to visit her friend that would later become my aunt. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell I vaguely recall some discussion of using guided concrete blocks against tanks in urban warfare back during (maybe?) the first Gulf War as a way of minimizing collateral damage. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Top to bottom An engineering rule with 6 scales My grandfather's Keuffel & Esser Co pat June 5 '00 My Pickett i brought when I started college in 1971 A specialized slide rule My father had for doing soil loss calculations https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/646/073/368/667/718/original/64a7ff93062d553c.jpg npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell That slide rule resembles my grandfather's rule that I have. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell I choose to believe they are protecting their athletes by distracting trump with a meaningless shiny object. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell I could be there in 16 hours. It's a long drive from Utah. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell I was your neighbor 70 years ago. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell I love Summer but my grandkids are almost as cute. https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/369/732/014/969/789/original/1889265676331df0.jpg npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Are you talking about the 1.7 mile tunnel under the Strip or the 600 miles of storm drains that also house upwards of 2000 people? npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell And finding a working payphone at every gas station. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell 8 ambulances in a rural county? Cache County has 7 staffed at any one time, and we have around 100,000 population. Frequently, the number available is less due to out of county transfers (45-90 miles one way) for specialty care. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell They completely forget about REA as well. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rural_Electrification_Act?wprov=sfla1 npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell I'm not sure when this was packaged, but it was before they started putting expiration dates on stuff. Our food storage wheat we bought in the 70s and stored in metal cans was eaten by rats in the 80s. https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/210/929/946/677/778/original/5894e014c57f6b74.jpg npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell The article says they called for help but doesn't say exactly what. Is it normal these days for scout leaders to carry some sort of satellite communication device? Second thought - this is yet another story mentioning the satellite transponder was in the backpack, which was somehow separated from the person. I remember another story where the husband had the PLD. He fell, and his wife was unable to reach the device to activate it. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell There are still no charges filed in the death of an innocent bystander during the "No Kings" march in Salt Lake Ciry. In Utah, it seems an irrational fear is sufficient justification for using deadly force under our "stand your ground" laws. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell A while back, a couple hunters got off the trail and into a brush patch on the Wellsville mountains on the west side of our valley. They could see the lights of houses and towns but could not move. Uphill was too steep, sideways and down was too brush. Search and Rescue had to go out to get them to safety. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell My guns are unloaded and kept in the gun safe. I have the only key. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Probably more than half of all gun owners in my part of Utah. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell My two brothers did become scouts, so Dad volunteered as assistant scoutmaster in charge of camping trips. Dad and the head scoutmaster made the boys conduct all the meetings and do the planning for all campouts. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell When I graduated from cub scouts, my parents asked if I wanted to go into Boy Scouts. I looked at all those merit badges and how much work they would require and said nope. 🙃 npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Governor Jerry Brown, in his first term, tried to get a satellite communication system for the state for situations just like this. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Back when that was the main road, it was an 8 hour bus trip from San Francisco to Eureka. Mom took it at least twice before returning to Michigan. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Wilderness first aid after playing with the kitten. https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/951/459/962/211/569/original/bab64d9defbad091.jpg npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Get used to disappointment. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell My EMT instructor was also in charge of CPR certification at Marshall Hospital. The doctors were used to just standing around, sipping a beverage, and maybe watching a video before getting signed off for another year. Nurse Rachel (not her real name) insisted that each and every doctor properly demonstrate both compressions and breathing. They were mad, but the hospital administration backed her up. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell I think the disaster plan for Cache Valley is "you are on your own." They fully expect the two major highways into this Valley to be impassable, the other two lead to Idaho and Wyoming, so good luck there. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell It took several tries, but our chicken coop and ducks seem to be safe now. We keep them mostly because they bring joy to my wife, but she can't really get outside to enjoy them. People ask why I am so mean to raccoons. They have never gone out in the morning to find every chicken with its throat ripped out. That was back in my early years of building a coop. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell When we turned 65, it was a really nice feeling to know I wouldn't lose medical if I got fired. Plus my premiums went down by about $40 a month for the two of us. Same coverage, same doctors, same hospitals. Fortunately, my wife and I are only two months apart in age. Protip: get the optional part d coverage even if you don't currently need expensive drugs because signing up later is stupidly expensive. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell I seem to recall a recent news item that California is trying again to set up a single payer system for all California residents. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell A while back, there was a horrible accident in Cache Valley. The surviving truck driver was flown to salt lake for 3rd degree burns and was in a coma. As part of the investigation, the cops needed a blood draw from this comatose patient. The nurse in charge said not without a warrant because he can't give consent. The cop tried arresting her, later lost his job when it all became public. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell The day our son discovered the magic of redwoods. https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/711/087/118/864/203/original/71b0ce9e3c130170.jpg npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Uncle Sam missed his opportunity to let me do an air mobile assault but I've heard that was quite the experience. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell If i remember right, that drive goes through some redwoods, which are my favorite tree. In 1946(or 7), mom took the bus from San Francisco to Eureka because she always wanted to see California. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell These long drives your husband has to do are probably hard on all of you but at least he can do it. If my wife had to go see the specialist again, I would have to do the driving because she can't. I do hope good things for all of you. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Tom Clancey was famous for taking bits of information from the open press and putting it together in a high-tech thriller. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell From a story over on Daily Kos, the national guard troops that arrived Sunday were already out on their weekend training, so were able to be diverted immediately. Without the logistics that normally accompany a legitimately planned operation. All those guys were expecting to go to their regular jobs this morning, families are disrupted, this was purely so trump could get some attention on the nightly news. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Maybe show up to feed the protesters and stay upwind of the soldiers so they can smell those street tacos, knowing all they have are MREs and stale water. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell World Central Kitchen has been feeding the national guard during their deployment to help clean up the fires. Maybe they can expand their operations a little bit. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell He did say to not take medical advice from him. In a bizarre twist, he is now also requiring us to follow his medical opinion. No, I can't understand his reasoning. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Dad's old school compass that he used when timber cruising around Klamath Falls in the 50s. https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/582/411/294/042/345/original/063deb4e9bec8398.jpg npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Email in the 70s? npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell You never overshare. We have a medical procedure today, and these peaceful views help calm me. Thank you. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Full disclosure, I am not a coffee drinker. There is a scene in one of the Hornblower books that describes Captain Hornblower telling his illiterate steward how to use the resources available on the warship to roast coffee beans, then use a mortar and pestle to grind them to proper size, and then boil and strain the liquid. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Back around 1900, unrestrained grazing by cattle and sheep on the Wellsvilles and Bear River range just east of Logan denuded the mountains such that a geological survey scientist who expected to let his pack animals graze on his survey was unable to feed his animals. It was estimated that around 100,000 head were grazing. After the Wasatch-Cache national forest was established, permitted grazing is now limited to about 10,000 animals, and the trees and vegetation are now regrowing. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell If it quacks like a duck... npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell What i appreciate most about the talks this weekend is the laser-like focus on the Savior and His doctrine. It suggests to me that we will be okay, in the eternities if not now, as we focus on Him. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell On the bright side, the House will not be attacking people's right to vote, they will not be attacking judges who are upholding the rule of law, and they will not be attacking Bidens policies that made life in the United States better. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell "If"? npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell I was 18 and thought it was really cool. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell I wonder if they were out of March AFB in Riverside county back then. Those planes were LOUD as in bone-curddling loud. Especially if the whole alert string was taking off one right after another. Us kids would wonder if this was the start of WWIII. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell What's really fun is when you are standing on the ridgetop and the TBM is coming UP at you. And no, the red never did completely out of that uniform set. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Note the date on that article. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Wait until agent krasnov finds out about the West Wendover Historic Air Museum. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Chocolate in all it's variety. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell For true belivers, the niners are always the best. 😇 npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell I didn't know xmission was still around. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell For those of you for whom satellite internet is the only option, there is hughsnet and some others. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Tuesday afternoon, the Nome National Forest –a collection of discarded Christmas trees propped up in the ice– drifted into the Bering Sea on an ice floe. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Back when I was a kid, they had this cool system where the clerk for a particular area would write up the sales ticket and put that in this gizmo along with the money, then slingshot it up to the front of the store second floor. It was really fascinating for this little kid. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell The ABC Union store? npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell The first place we lived was at the property now known as the botanical gardens south of town. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Every time you post pictures of Summer having fun on the beach, it reminds me of being a kid playing on the beach in Fort Bragg. Thank you for these reminders of a fun childhood. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell The one egg farm in the north part of our county destroyed a million chickens. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Wait until Facebook finds out i routinely block anything, including bots, that annoy me. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Back when we were backpacking in the 70s, we routinely drank stream and lake water untreated but, and this is important, dad selected trips where cows did not graze. Nowadays you have to take a personal filtration system no matter where you go. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell My travel-savy family members say it is essential to be comfortable while traveling. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell I have a faint memory of seeing adults smoking in the grocery store, dropping ash on the produce. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell http://achangeinthewind.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c7b3653ef015436154e57970c-pi npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Trees are somewhat adaptable to varying climates. Now, whether they keep producing a crop that people depend on is another matter. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Maybe use whisky barrels to hold the grow medium, copper pipes, and a pump powered by a sterling cycle motor heated by the sun? npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Maybe a link or two to your favorite prehistory stories? npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Look at the bright side. 2024 will be the coolest year of the rest of your life. See how much better you feel now? npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Who is buying tesla stock to push the price up? npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell I'm willing to bet your grandson thought it was time well spent. Thank you for sharing. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Wait until you find out neet's foot oil actually not made from the oils found in the foot of neets, a small furry mamal in the bovine genus of animals. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell No mention of the Owen's river valley and the L A Aqueduct that effectively eliminated the Owens Valley as a viable farming community and eventually devastated the Owens Lake ecosystem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephanie_Beacham#%3A%7E%3Atext%3DReactions_by_impacted_communities%2C-Main_article%3A_California%26text%3DThe_construction_of_the_Los%2Cdevastated_the_Owens_Lake_ecosystem.?wprov=sfla1 npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell You may be too young to remember these photos of Nortn Vietnamese logistics. https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/348/387/639/077/684/original/9d104f2c8e2db4d8.jpeg npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Every school I ever attended, we were required to only turn in our own work. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Well, you call it the disgusting food store. I found it very tedious to walk up and down each aisle, wondering what they had that week. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell My wife really misses the Used Food Store since we moved to Utah. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Back in air-cooled VW days, they had a gizmo you could screw into #3 spark-plug hole to air up your tires. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell Possibly so. But they can still drop their weapons and walk home. Preferably before winter makes it a miserable walk. npub1qfvmysh8g50lax98ez2dcat8jxmjjlpkaxvdhrm8462ye2np70ks5yzea2 Jim Hubbell It seems like Russia is "playing with fire" by invading Ukraine.
