There are 5 segments to this. I have posted all the segments in this post. If your on my home page then it will only show the first one. You have to go to the post page by clicking on the heading to see all 5. I found this to be a an interesting speech on the little understood and little known history of the constitution and how our federal government became what it now is. I’m sure that this is just skimming the surface of the subject but I enjoyed it. I had someone send me an email of one of these speeches and found them very interesting. So I tracked down a bunch of them to listen to. Here are few that gave me a lot to think about. This was a very good clip on our young soldiers. I Relate to it because I was one of them once upon a time when I served in 10th mountain division. I just watched these two very sobering videos by a lawyer and a cop about why we should take our 5th amendment rights very seriously in dealing with the police. Have fun watching them. This joke has been around for a long time. I got it in email again yesterday and realized that I got a kick out of it every time I had read it. So it makes the joke hall of fame and gets posted here.
1. Fans. I think that fans in the heat of summer can take a boat from an oven to quite comfortable. Also sleeping at night the fans work great while your sleeping. There are currently no fans installed on Valkyr. We made this a high priority and were willing to spend some serious money to put fans through out the boat. Our criteria for the fans was low power consumption and low noise. We tested quite a few fans and came to the conclusion that it wasn’t going to be cheap but that we were going to go for broke on this one. We ended up buying our fans at West Marine and went with their very top of the line model http://www.westmarine.com/weba…..lassNum=36 you can get them in 12 or 24 volt models. At west marine the retail is $99 but we were able to get 5 of them for $64.95 each. The following site had them for $76.95 dollars each http://us.binnacle.com/p5688/C….._info.html I’ve seen this passed around in email a couple of times A Very different Christmas Poem“You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.” Re-doing the power systems on Valkyr When we got the boat it had two optima batteries one in the starter bank and one in the house bank. There were two other group 31 Sea Volt AGM batteries sitting on the boat not hooked up. My plan is to use the two group 31 Sea Volt AGM’s along with 2 identical Group 31’s that I have on my old boat to make a house bank of 440 AH. The two optima AGM batteries will go in the second engine starting bank. These are controlled from the stock DC switch panel that has a 1/2/All/Off switch integrated into it. I cleaned the head on valkyr this past sunday and fixed the shower sump pump. Head was pretty nasty and I kinda nuked it with oxy clean and then a long soak in vinegar..

after I did that it started backflowing badly. Now the bowl fills half way up within 4 minutes or so of pumping it out. I am so tempted to just order a composting head and install it and rip all the head plumbing and tank out.. close off the through hulls and be done with it. I have a friend that he and his wife and two young children live on a 40 ft ketch and that is what they use. 2 years into it and they love it.
