Episode-146- How To A Fix Bike The Hard Way

Tony Teolis January 22, 2013 0 Comments
I don't know why I had to wait until I was in my forties to figure out how to do the things I do to make my life better. I mean I've had a lot of adventure and I've done a lot of things I never knew could be done but most weren't the kinds of things that actually involved putting food on the table or keeping a roof over our heads. I garden and raise honey bees and pride myself in beginning and...

    We are learning to prepare for and survive a power outage with the use of a 12 volt deep cycle battery and an 800 watt power inverter. The video depicts my set up and testing of the battery and inverter as an energy source in case of a power outage. The total cost for a battery, charger and inverter was $140 which is pretty good for 800 watts of power. It’s winter in America and past...

Wedding soup has been a Teolis family tradition for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays for a few generations on the Italian side of my family. This wonderful concoction of chicken, homemade meatballs, spinach, eggs, carrots and seasoning is a joy to prepare and even more joyful to eat. About 7 years ago I took the time to get a recipe from my brother’s mother in law and began to make it a...

Episode-135- Waste Disposal Not Cash Disposal

Tony Teolis November 15, 2012 1 Comment
This is a lesson for how to save money on trash. The first thing to do before, during and after you move to a new neighborhood is to ring some doorbells and say ”Hi". Not only will you get a feel for the place but you will begin what could be long term relationships. It could also save you money. I wish I had followed that advice because it could have saved me some serous cash. I just cut my...

Episode-131- Get Refund From Microsoft And Live Better With Libre

The moral is don't use Microsoft when it can be avoided and don't get taken alive. This is my experience dealing with a Microsoft Office download that went bad. It's something I never should have done. Spending money in these times needs to be scrutinized and even more so when dealing with Microsoft. Listen to how much trouble I had trying to install Microsoft Office and the triumph I...

              Hurricane Sandy is headed our way in northern Virginia so it's time to check the preps and prepare to batten down the hatches if necessary. Going to head to get a chainsaw, D batteries, and plywood. We're good on all other preps and we'll also prepare to bug out if necessary. Will print list of hotel numbers 100 miles to the west and bug out there...

                      Can you believe this song was number one in the USA in 1965. So prescient and the intro is by none other than Jerry Lewis. My effort today is a fuck you back to freaks who intend harm. So I'm getting through the day at work when someone says Molotov cocktails were tossed in the mall food court across the street....

Episode-127- Refinance My Mortgage To Save Money

Tony Teolis September 30, 2012 0 Comments
I need to refinance my mortgage. Interest rates are artificially kept low by the Federal Reserve with the belief that cheap loans will result in more loans being made and more loans means more of everything. This is what caused the housing bubble in the first place. Now that the Fed is going to buy $40 billion in mortgage backed securities each and every month from banks who issue them you can...
