Service Robots

I’ve always wanted to have my own personal robot; I’m hoping that personal robots will be something that we are able to have within my lifetime. I just like the idea of having a robot servant that could work as a butler, a maid, a driver, a cook, and everything else that you’d have to pay actual people a weekly wage, rather than the one-time fee of purchasing a service robot.

I’m sure that you would need to regularly do some sort of service on your service robot or something. I don’t know how it would work though because I don’t know much about robotics. Would they need an oil change like a car or a boat does? I don’t think I could power a robot with Mercury oil but I guess I could always try.

No More Tequila

I made the mistake of drinking tequila for my birthday, even though I’d totally sworn off tequila in the past. I soon remembered why I had sworn off tequila; I love the taste of it mixed with pretty much anything and I always wind up drinking too much of it whenever tequila comes into the equation, which does not wind up working out as a particularly pretty picture for me.

On my birthday, I of course wound up having people buy drinks for me, which was why I ended up having tequila in the first place. Not surprisingly, I eventually got very sick and I don’t remember very much from the night, though I’m told I made a number of bad decisions and the hangover I had afterwards was perhaps the most horrendous hangover I’ve ever had. I’d rather drink a bottle of Mercury oil than ever have tequila again.

Fishing in Montana

I recently went fishing with some friends in Montana. We went to this place called Bean Lake and we had a grand time. My friend’s parents have a cabin out there in Montana and we decided it would be a good place to hang out during our summer vacation between our junior and senior year in college.

My buddy was able to take his parents’ boat out as long as the rest of us pitched in for maintenance supplies and whatnot. For instance, one of my friends was in charge of getting the stuff we’d need to clean the boat, and I was in charge of picking up some Mercury oil so that we could make sure that the boat got the oil changes and everything else that it needed.

I Will Go Down with My Ship

I went through a pretty annoying experience recently: to sum things up succinctly, my boat sank. It was pretty awful; what happened was that my boat got caught up on some rocks and upon getting it off of those rocks, a piece of one of the rocks broke off and violently smashed enough of a hole in my boat to make it start going under.

Having been a fan of boating for so long, I never thought I’d have to experience my boat sinking. It was pretty awful and it’s given me a bit of distaste towards boating, at least for the time being. I don’t think I’ll be purchasing a new boat anytime soon, that is. I boxed up all of my bottles of Mercury oil and gave it to my best friend, who recently bought his own boat, because I don’t think I’ll be needing it anytime in the near future.

From Boats to Spacecraft

I wonder if someday we’ll be able to have personal spacecraft the way that we have personal boats. I’m sure that centuries ago, nobody thought that people would have personal motorized boats like the ones that are so commonplace now, even if perhaps people back then had their own sailboats or canoes or whatever. I’m not saying this is something that will happen in my lifetime, but I’m talking centuries from now. Will people go out and buy their own spaceships?

What I wonder is if the same companies that make boats will transition over to making spacecraft someday, or if it will be car companies, or perhaps new companies entirely. And I wonder if the companies that make the maintenance supplies for boats and whatnot will be the same ones making the oil and other things for your spaceship. That’d give Mercury oil a whole other meaning.

The Spade-Toothed Whale

Recently, specimens of the spade-toothed whale were identified from carcasses that had washed up in New Zealand. These spade-toothed whales are the rarest large mammals on the planet whose existence have been confirmed. In the past two hundred years, there have hardly even been five sightings of this whale, even though it is definitively a separate species from other types of beaked whales.

As someone who’s always wanted to find rare species of animal, this discovery has intrigued me to no end. To think that there’s such a large animal that’s remained essentially hidden for all these years means that who knows what else is out there. I think that what I’m going to do is pick up some Mercury oil for my boat and go out on the ocean to see if I can’t find something rare and interesting myself.

Perhaps a Mermaid, but Probably Not

I know this is going to sound ridiculous, but I swear that the last time I went out on my boat, I saw a mermaid. It might have had something to do with the fact that I hadn’t eaten in a couple of days and I was dehydrated and hungover and I had dropped my glasses overboard at the time, but I’m still pretty sure that’s what I saw.

My friends have pointed out to me all of the reasons why I probably didn’t see what I thought I saw, but I’m an optimist and I’m a believer. I’ve decided that I’m going to see if I can find the mermaid again under similar circumstances in the same place. I’m going to load my boat up with Mercury oil and make sure everything’s all set before I go out and try to find her again.

Long Weekend

I’m a business executive and my job can be very stressful, so whenever I get a chance to take some time off of work – especially if it’s paid time – I leap at the opportunity to fit some relaxation into my usual busy schedule. Whenever there’s a long weekend for some reason, such as for Thanksgiving or Labor Day, I always make sure to find something interesting to do.

On our most recent long weekend, I decided it would be a good time to go out on a boat trip. After I got off of work and started up the weekend, I made sure to pick up some Mercury engine oil on my way home. This way, I could quickly ensure that my boat was up to par when it came to its required maintenance.

Clearing Your Mind

I had kind of a bad day the other day. I’ve been trying to switch career paths and I just haven’t been making any headway. I had a couple of interviews the other day that both went really obviously poorly and it pretty much put me down in the dumps. It didn’t help that my birthday was coming up and I had recently found out that most of my friends weren’t going to be able to make it out for various reasons.

I was headed home from the interviews feeling pretty bad about everything. I decided to stop off at a convenience store for some comfort food. I also picked up a bottle of Yamalube 2M for my boat on my way back because I thought that a boating trip might calm my nerves a little bit. I was right! All I really needed to freshen my mind was some time alone out on my boat. I’ve got another interview coming up soon and I think I’m going to do a lot better.

Cabin in the Woods

As a huge fan of horror movies, I made my life goal to build an isolated cabin in the woods. I’ve been working for it for a number of years and it’s coming along quite nicely. What’s perfect about it is that it’s located on an island that’s a small distance away from my actual home, which is fairly out there in the first place.

I have a dock right nearby my backyard, which is where I keep my boat. The boat is how I travel back and forth from my main house to the cabin on the woodsy island. With the right amount of Yamaha outboard oil, I was able to maintain my boat so that it wouldn’t have any problems getting to and from my cabin.
