PG&E made my morning fun.

Hello All! And welcome to my thought process;

So I wake up late and miss my morning radio show . Normally i wake up for a couple hours and just lay in bed half asleep listening to the show. But today was different. I had no memory of the show even being on . I went though the list of possibilities : was my radio set for pm instead of am ? Was it unplugged? Was it broken! after looking at it for a little I decided it was not broken, but the power was out. Did I blow a fuse? Forget to pay the power bill? Was there an accident that knocked out the power? Then I get out my battery powdered radio and turn it onto local news and nothing comes up. Then I decide it was me not paying the bill. But then I realize it was the middle of the month,the bill is not due for another two weeks. My next actions involved me being out of bed, dressed and wandering the house looking for a cause. At this point I'm starting to want coffee and some eggs and bacon. I go downstairs and turn on the stove and then utter some harsh language under my breath (dang it ) when I remember that  the stove requires power. Then I go over the various ways there are to cook eggs in my head and just as I am about to get out twelve candles to put under my frying pan when I recall that my sister gave me a turkey fryer that runs off propane!

All my camping knowledge comes back to me like a flood! I whip out that frying pan, my lighter, a stick of butter seasoning and the eggs and I have breakfast cooking in no time!  So sad though, no bacon! oh well, maybe next time.
PG&E made me do it!
 This thing was great! It's original purpose is to fry turkeys on, however I am glad I kept it beyond the time I thought I would need it.
There will be fire even if PG&E does not provide the fuel!
 The only problem was that the lowest setting was close to the highest setting on my stove, and that is HOT!

PG&E Can't make me go hungry!












The end result was much better then I was even hoping for! I then boiled some water and made some coffee, I even made some toast and had a little egg sandwich.









The only thing that really gave me trouble was showering in the dark. That was tough, but luckily it was close to Christmas, and my mother likes to celebrate more then one religion , so we had the menorah out. That made showering much easier.
OK! Thanks for reading everybody!

Come back again soon! I should have another couple posts up soon!

Energy without the jitters!

I know you all want to know how my studies and plans are progressing with my bee hive ideas. It saddens me to say this. but I probably will not be getting a bee hive. Just too high risk and too much to worry about at my sisters house. HAHA, even though she would love to have 15 K bees swarming around he 15 month old kid, I think I'll have to just wait till I get my own place to have a bee hive.


NOW, with that said, I will no be giving up 100% on the idea, because it does interest me a great deal. However I will have to move on to other topics to discuss here, since I will not be able to give first hand accounts of how "my " bee hive is doing.



I Am sure you are all fully aware of all the fancy energy drinks out there. From Amp, to RedBull to Monster and RockStar and (my favorite) 5 Hour Energy.

For all those folk out there who  LOVE these drinks, you should know that they could make current heart conditions worse, and even cause heart attack.                        http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,487088,00.html                                          
Sure, it's fox news, but even if its a Repub conspiracy some how, what are they trying to get you to think? Red bull is evil? LOL. Well anyway, the story in the link above basically says the Red Bull the kid drank might have been the cause of her heart attack. HOWEVER, caffeine alone will probably not cause you to have heart problems.
In this case the girl has preexisting conditions that were awakened by the "several" caffinated beverages she had consumed that night.
Moarl of the story? EVERTHING IN MODERATION!  The scariest part of this story is there are more stories out there of 21 year olds (and younger) who have genetic heart problems they DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT, and they can be triggered by huge amounts of caffeine , or even just one full can depending.
Is this reason enough to be scared out of not drinking energy drinks anymore if you have a family history of heart disease? I hope not. but what If you still want to get all the benefits without worrying about turning up dead on a hospital gurney with some EMT pumping your chest to no avail, then I might have an answer for you?

Do what I do, Eat Brewers Yeast and have a single cup of coffee!
That's right folks! There is an alternative to those silly energy drinks that may or may not have things your allergic to  or an excessive amount of caffeine. 
You can read the nutritional facts. Basically a bunch of B vitamins and stuff.
 Brewers yeast has been around for quite some time.  My mother grew up in the sixties and was eating this stuff. I must say, it is very hard to find palatable ways of consuming this, however, whenever I do I feel great!

 The fastest way I have found to eat this is to mix it in with juice. I only had orange juice today, but it still works. my favorite is purple grape juice (not purple drink)
Pour yourself a glass(about 1 1/2- 2 cups)


 Then Mix in one spoon full of the brewers yeast. Mix well until you see no more chunks.
And as you can see the orange juice is a noticeable shade or two      <--darker. Once mixed, drink and enjoy.



THEN , the finish off the "energy Drink" make yourself a cup of coffee, use as much or as little at you like. the coffee is up to you and how much you like. I usually go for a 1 1/2 cup. That kick starts my morning, then the vast amount of B Vitamins in the brewers yeast Keeps me going all day long.
have you ever seen the "5 Hour Energy " commercial? Well the whole "hours of energy now and no dead feeling later" is what this does too. but better then 5 Hour Energy. mostly because You can control the caffeine to B vitamin ratio.

KK! thx all for the reads! hope you will tune in next time for my next way to eat Brewers yeast!
