Losing a Boomerang

Coming Soon: The Great Boomerang Rescue

Discuss this article at the SUN Table inside the Diner

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURESNot much time to write a Sunday Brunch article this week.  I’m down in the Lone Star State attending the Diner Convocation, and we have been non-stop busy with the projects, seminars, conferences and drinking beer. :)

The most notably successful aspect so far was the Rainmaking Project on Saturday, where by throwing numerous Boomerangs and shaking trees, through the Butterflies Wings Effect we finally brought Rain to Central Texas.

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURESA HUGE clap of Thunder woke me up this morning, as well as WHD, who energetically ran down to the dry creek bed to hopefully get some video of running water.  No such luck, it probably has to rain for 2 days straight to get water flowing, the land is so dry it is soaking up the water like a sponge so far.

Today’s projects are to build a Rocket Stove, do more construction on the Solar Shower and build a gray water system to feed some trees.  And drink more beer.  :)

Also the livestreams probably wait until we are Tearing that Hotel Down in Italy, TX.

We’re an Amerikan Band of Doomers. :)

Great video. Does anyone know if this is lip-sync or a film of the actual recording? Those are rare. BTW I was at a concert back in the 80’s with GFR and ZZ Top; GFR blew ZZ off the stage, they were fantastic live!

Nope, that was a film of the actual loss of a boomerang in the trees. If you squint real hard, it almost looks like a dead rocker.

Great post and thanks for the update, RE! I’ll have to get on the diner to keep up with your schedule.

BTW, good luck with the rocket stove. I understand you and build one with around 6 bricks if you know what you’re doing.

I’m working on a HF digital station. If you guys are hamming it up, maybe we can get some contacts going on Olivia, unless you’re already doing it. If you are, I’d like to hear about it.

” No such luck, it probably has to rain for 2 days straight to get water flowing, the land is so dry it is soaking up the water like a sponge so far.”

FWIW, I’d stay out of Texas creek beds during significant rainstorms.I’ve seen dry creek-beds suddenly turn to raging rivers and wash away vehicles…jus’ sayin.
