I second that Gary. Love your pods. Dried peppers. Love how you can make them hotter. Make me be able to eat a whole bonda one time and. Next wave barely let me eat half. Those MoA looks like beasts.

A person here once said. " how's your dog ".

And btw. Hows the garage grow. ?!
 
Damn , ten days to feet dry USA. The 20 oz cups ought to be bursting.......oh, wait, she said they are all doing fine....so nevermind. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

We are doing some subsea acid fracing(to etch the calcium deposits clogging the well skin.).....that comment oughta start a shit storm from the uneducated masses. :shh:

Hey KD!!! Good to hear from ya! I'm glad you dig the dried Congo Peppers...I recently re-discovered their tangy goodness...I think I might even like them better dried than fresh...I'm smoked some with pecan branches...You wanty?

I'm growing a "new and improved" Bonda Man Jacques this season, a cross from Spicegeist...I think you'll like it...Maybe you and your buddies could do another tasting vid? I never get tired of that part where Chris says "That's definitely a tear..."

OW and dog pix soon....

Yeah, dude, you need to be back in Louisiana for a while...Your chile babies need ya!

I need some tips from you on exactly what you're talking about...The perforations on all our wells are totally scaled over....

Thanks for checking in...
 
Hey Rodney! How ya doin? My little Rennies are finally getting over their copper poisoning, greening up nicely...same for my contest Birgit's...

That they could frack in the Everglades without any problems is a good endorsement for that type of stimulation...

I think what scares people about these modern "resource plays" is the massive amount of water it takes for the frack jobs, and the potential risk to the underground drinking water...It's a valid concern, but it's lame how Hollywood has blown it all out of proportion...Oil companies aren't inherently evil, as they're portrayed in the movies....It's a childish, irresponsible perception, but it seems to be more fun to look for a "Great Satan" to blame for our problems rather than do any real, truly honest thinking.

As I said earlier, anyone who uses fossil fuels, especially the inordinately huge amounts the U.S.A. consumes, cannot afford to point fingers...We all share in the responsibility of what the oil companies are doing...They only do it because WE are so hungry for their products...It's like blaming the Colombians for our drug problem...We would rather attack the effect than address the cause.
 
I think we fracked with diesel a couple times...It's actually way better than water, because you get better recovery, and there's no water damage to the formation.

Recently I heard a guy give a talk at the geological society meeting about a new process where they frack with LPG....several orders of magnitude more expensive than fracking with water, but the stimulated area is much larger, and you get 100% recovery of the frack fluids, as opposed to around 50% with water. And you can sell the produced LPG, instead of paying to dispose of it or recycle it, as you do with frack water.. Payout is longer, but it's ultimately more economical and environmentally-friendly, if you can stand the up-front cost...

A guy can dream....
 
You guys hear about Exxon's big spill in Arkansas? The FAA put a no fly zone over it, and Exxon's arresting journalists that try and cover it. Some people have snuck in and filmed though. Pretty scary, "clean up crews sweeping oil into the street drains/sewers/manholes. Look for the videos its nuts.
 
Wow...I've seen some photos. What a nightmare.

My Dad tells me stories of when he was growing up in Monroe, Louisiana, in the 1930s—how every summer when the Ouachita River, which flows through the Smackover Oilfield in Arkansas on its way to Louisiana, would get real low...It would be mostly crude oil.... Things are way better now...Mostly...
 
Back when it was Tenneco Oil Refinery in the 70s early 80s, we used to inject all of our sour-water into 1000 ft. deep wells. This was before we were purchased by Mobil Oil.

Just before Katrina struck, I called a guy about drilling a water well for me. He said here in the Chalmette area, he'd have to go about a 1000 feet to reach water that wasn't salty. Went to thinkin!

My 40 year old nephew was really bashing our use of oil recently. I asked him if he felt this way because he believed that "global warming" was caused by mans activities. He said "No' I ain't buyin that global warming bull". I asked him why then did he care about us using the oil. Would he feel sooo much better if that oil just stayed underground? You ever see how a dog cocks his head sorta goofy/sidewards if you make an unusual noise...
 
What everyone forgets , or refuses to learn in the first place, guess what oil is? It is basically stored solar energy;), it starts with photosynthesis, and plants.......life cycles come and go, alluvial deposits containing the "remains" are themselves buried and compressed, eventually transforming via time/pressure and temperature ; into the goo that makes the world go round . There are bacteria that feed on oil during EVERY stage of decomposition in nature. It doesn't get anything added until the refinery process for the most part-coming out of the ground untreated....well guess what? the VOC's evaprate and the tar slowly just disintegrates.That was for the benefit of anyone else reading along;).oh, and those "burning water coming out the taps"...all things were not as they seemed.......
I have some interesting pics of a totally barren sea floor, where the ONLY life that exists , is tied directly to the natural oil and tar seeps that are endemic to several places in the Gulf of Mexico.Coral living on the tar itself.I posted some a year or so back somewhere in the lounge.Enough of that shit though.....

Did you say new and improved Bondas? ;), I believe I have some if I can isolate the seed packet....christ ,after last year i have boxes of envelopes with seeds in em.LOL...all nicely organized until a bird and small dynamite powered dog let freedom ring in my "office" room......




PS Carbon Tax? That shit cracks me up. Footprint, you bet your ass, guess not many people realize we are all carbon based life forms ;)
 
Hey Ray, yes there were some things done in the past that may be a while in the undoing...We're way more careful now, and bad shit still happens, but Mother Earth always seems to heal herself...

Well said Dave! Why doesn't somebody do an environmental remediation on those damn La Brea tar pits??? Wait, those were there way before people...By the way, my country garden is the site of Sun Oil Company's old oil changing rack for their field vehicles...Every time I till my garden I uncover plenty of old oil filters, pipe fittings, sucker rods, etc...Plants don't seem to mind, and nobody's gotten sick from the peppers...

The cross is technically Bonda x Yellow 7, but the pods present as very large Bonda Man Jacques, hence the "New and Improved" label...I like that better...I believe my plants are the F3 generation...
 
....but its cool to drive around in the toxic waste dump nightmare that is an electric car!

Those pods sound good, I see a pod swap in the future.

Hey Rodney ,is that a male Texas Cichlid as your current Avatar?
 
The point I keep trying to make, and will continue to harp on, is that we're all doing this together...As you say, Dave, the electric car may appear to create less toxic emissions, but it what you don't see is the fossil fuel required to make the electricity in the first place...

Pointing fingers and saying "You are bad for doing that" only perpetuates our problems. We are all doing this together. There's no separating ourselves from the rest of mankind. If we were really concerned about the effects of our exploitation of natural resources, we would stop using electricity and stop driving cars...Either that or make our own power....Sounds like a good project for some chile heads...

I hope this aspect of my thread doesn't polarize us here....I'm an old school hippy in the most literal sense....a card-carrying, tree-hugging liberal...We're all chile heads here. At least that connects us all... :P
 
Hell Gary ,
I don 't have a stamp. My deal will electric cars is not emissions , it the manufacturing and production ....battery manufacturing waste makes for very bad things, especially if you trace material origins to the third world where environmental standards are somewhat of a joke. Pseudo science issues are a pet peeve of mine as science and application are rarely well taught subjects anymore.

Nothing duller then a room full of people that think exactly alike.. Bah, bah, bahhhhhh said the sheep.

So lets get back to pods, and Rodney's Frankenfish. That promises to be an interesting critter if it happens. I have seen 1 Red Devil and it was ages ago...crimson with black trim , now that was a cool lookin mofo!

I did mean to add that you are indeed correct on the in this together- the same boat, in a big ocean. Better get the rowing down as a group, or the boat ain't goin anywhere!
