Thanks as I wipe my brow

I have finally gotten the courage to post a couple of my photos. These were taken yesterday at .the Sahara of Texas, the sandhills in Monahans. A little scarred but time to give it a try....

and the sky really was that blue

I forgot to mention---- as I was having a conversation with God as I sat in the hot tub and told her that joke ,that even she laughed.

What the real joke is that hardly no one can accept it as just a Joke :roll:

To all who hate what big oil has done "wake up to reality" IlFarmer is right ,look at the price of Fuel I just traveled from here in Tx to SC last week and it cost me $312.11, two years ago it cost me over $600.00. That was a round trip with some side stops as adventures as well. Others have talked about Buffett and the BNSF , he is the primary shipper of the oil and also one of the biggest donars to the those that want to stop the pipline. Forget about the tree huggers. Do any of you know how many miles of both gas and petro piplines we already have and how few problems any of them have caused---- or is it just what you have been regurgitating from others. If you are dumb enough to think big oil is making a big profit on thier investments--compare them to Google, Micosoft and so many other companies.the % is not even close. And no I am not an Oil Baaron. Just someone that is unbiased and perfer to think for myself. I already know from reading the post regularly here I will be damned for my thoughts so I will not reply. I just ask you do some research. Enough now that it is out of my system..... No disrespect to anyone.

I just wanted to say "Thanks to all" on this topic. This is the reason I joined, to learn from some true Masters. I am going to look forward to even more conversations like this. Again thanks
Another Newbie that has been here for a while...

What will it take to get this plant legal.. The best chance would be to go to China for the development and manufacture of products since we are bogged down by the powers that be. They would be more than willing to take another lead from us.....
