Flying Things


Willy done thought he was seeing an old M.A.S.H. episode the other day as he was driving down the road in the edge of the Ozarks. Cause you see Willy looks up in the air as he hears a helicopter fly over. What suprises Willy is that there is about a 100 ft rope hanging below the helicopter and it is carrying an orange bag through the air.


That is where it reminded Willy of the episode of MASH where they trade Colonel Potter's desk for something and the only way they can get it out is to pick it up with the Helicopter and fly it out. The last Colonel Potter sees of his Mahogany desk is as it flys off into the sunset hanging from the helicopter.


Well this site really intrigues Willy and he goes back to the Possum Grit Roadkill Cafe and Cantina and asks Juanita if she knew what was going on. You see Juanita is smart and she knows everything! Just ask her!


Well, the story is that this area is very strong in natural gas exploration, called the Fayetteville Shale Gas area and this has lead to a great deal of seismograph work. The helicopters belong to Global Geophysical and in the rough terrain they haul out cable to be hooked to a central reader. They drop these cable bags out and "cheap labor", probably with no green cards, trek out into the area and unfold these into a grid across a full section. These are all hooked up and holes are drilled to allow for small blasts to go off and be read by the seismograph.


After the reading are complete, the "cheap labor" rolls the cables back into their bags and they are again picked up by the helicopter.


An interesting site - for Hillbilly Willy!

  2. Interesting. We see a lot of VTOL's (Osprey) and other interesting and military craft in our area. In fact, I didn't get to see it, but the Space Shuttle touched down (piggy-back style) in Amarillo the other day on its way across country.

    Another clue Lowe's is the good one::::Katrina cottage plans.

    In this era of preditory developers building massive new homes (ie SUVs) it is quite refreshing to see Lowe's promote modest single family structures.
    Looking in Denver these are the kinds of homes I am looking at. To move into a brand new structure would be key, especially in Denver:::::Full insulation, no dreaded leakage leading to high heating bills. No ghosts and no history.
    As with all things::::Redwhite&blue IS BAD FOR YOU!!!! Much like some Walmarts, some Lowe's stores are redwhite&blue color scheme.
    Bet that Oldsmobile was the only good American auto manufacturer left and now they're gone.

    The 80s era of M&A and integration with/controlling interest by evil entities has eliminated good from the marketplace.
    In this era of Manifest Destiny positioning the gods have the preditory disfavored steal from the good disfavored::::
    1. Microsoft stole Windows from Apple Computer/SteveJobs/Wozniac
    2. Alexander Graham Bell stole the telephone from Elisha Grey
    3. Waffle House's business model was stolen by many entities who copied the style and stole market share. HOLDING BACK THE COFFEE IS A TACTIC THE GODS USE TO SEND THE DISFAVORED ELSEWHERE and a clue they are good::::Coffee is bad for you.
