Mu the oilman
« on: September 20, 2004, 01:57:06 pm »
Hey Bro and fellow forum members,

In SW Texas SSG Adams and I saw a bunch of oil pumps in the desert north of Big Bend country, as well as silver mines and electric generating windmills. You being an oilman your whole life, is there any land left in Texas that I can purchase and set up a drilling operation or maybe buy some land that has potential silver deposits? Just curious if my generation is left out of the game since a lot of these places have already been surveyed.

BTW, I highly recommend the top of the line Cobra radar and laser detector for your vehicles, I made the 10 hour Austin to El Paso run that normally takes 9-10 hours in 7 hours! Yeeeehaaaawwwww. It is about 100 at Best Buy and is worth every single penny, I can't drive 55 and not only did I smoke the American smokies I really got over on the Federales as they use the K band only radar. Silly Mexicans, tricks are for nacos. Hehehehehehe.

Had a great vacation in Austin and the lake and Hill Country, and I will be buying land as well as keeping up with my investments on the markets. God truly blessed us this year my brother, you got you oil going sky high and I inherited mucho dinero and I got my 2 year med review from VA passed no questions asked! The first part of the year was rough, but it all paid off.

I hope everyone is doing well, and don't forget to vote! Yes GW and Dracho, I keep your words of wisdom and experience close to heart.

God bless all,

Jack

O.K. Jack..gonna give ya a little education...since I calibrate the tuning forks for the K Band radars (this is if you ever go to court)...I calibrate them +/- 1%  (i.e., the 35 MPH fork is +/- .35 MPH and the 65 MPH fork is +/- .65 MPH)..the industry standard for use is 10:1, so @ 35 MPH there is 3.5 MPH possibility of error, linearily going to 65 MPH with 6.5 MPH possibility of error...the real trick is to ask the cop (in court) when did he last calibrate his gun, and can you see his NIST certificate of traceability...got called a smart a$$, but I didn't pay the fine, because they had never had the tuning forks certified....

Mike,

Thanks for the info, but I do not know much about K, Ka, and X, and laser stuff. Are the bands different in respect for detecting or time periods they were introduced? I NEVER saw K only until I hit Mexico, only Ka or X from American troopers. I know lasers, and I plan on buying a laser scrambler device as that one is killer.

Thanks,

Jack

Great to hear from ya, Jack.   I can't help ya out in Texas other than to tell ya to beware of Texas oil men.   They are ALL crooks .... every last one of 'em .... oh, and the steady church-going -type of Texas oil men are the worst ones, so don't let 'em fool ya.    I've only met one that I felt that I could trust and he was obviously some sort of genetic fluke, or somethin'.  ;D  Seriously, Texas is well out of my "Stompin' Grounds".   I do better in areas where people think and talk slow, anyway,  .... like Oklahoma.


Take care of Jack.

Jack, the difference with radar bands is just the modulating frequency, they are all calibrated similarly...laser on the other hand, well we just got our laser stuff up and running and I'm in training (Jeez..48 and have to learn new stuff...)...will let ya know how that stuff works once I learn how.

Personally, with the hybrids and fuel cells coming out, why can't we be like the Germans and have NO speeding limits on our highways? The polizei do not waste time sitting around with radar and laser guns, they have nifty radar cameras that take your pic when you are speeding, and you get a ticket in the mail saying "Smile, you are on candid camera, and you are busted!" Hehehehehe.
