A New Era in My Life - It is Sournut

UPDATE:  I have since discontinued Sournut.com and Sournut LLC.  It took to much of my time with very little payback.  That said, I will continue to find new ways to create a second income.  Stay tuned...


I have finally started a true ecommerce website after years of playing around and learning.

I went with Shopify as the platform because of their ease, support and success.
It was difficult choosing a niche but ultimately I settled on coffee and related products.  Why coffee?
Well it is a very huge industry and billions of people drink it everyday.  Some even argue it's the worlds second most traded commodity behind oil.  So it's safe to say that it isn't going anywhere, it's stable and even growing.  Also coffee opens the door to almost everything.  People drink coffee in many forms and flavors and while doing anything.  Great conversation and business deals happen over coffee.  Coffee dates are as common place nowadays as coffee houses and cafes.

Once our "cupping" process is over we will offer our own private label blends of coffee.  But in the meantime we will sell others and many other coffee related products.  Check us out at Sournut.com

Sorry about...

I am sorry I have neglected my blog lately but not many people follow me or it lol.

That's no excuse however.  If you want visitors and/or followers then you must post content.  Engaging,  relevant and original content!   I know this but I still don't make the time as often as I should. 

I have plenty to say and opinions to share.  This is why I apologize to the world.  For not sharing and expressing my opinions.  I haven't found joy in writing lately but that's gotta change.

To write or not to write?


After 18 years of manufacturing experience and having taken so many classes/seminars on manufacturing,  I am honestly considering writing my own e-book on the subject.   My question is; would anyone bother to read it?

Update: I have gotten a few clicks even after neglecting this blog for years.

Update 2:  Since the last update I have written new blog posts.  So yes I will continue to write and more often.

I love This Tweet From Ricky Gervais!



@rickygervais: Your God is the only real God. All those other Gods are just stupid made up nonsense. But not yours. Yours is definitely real.

Product Review: CRC 3-36


My work consumes a lot of spray cans containing a variety of different chemicals products from a large group of manufacturers.  However, I find one product we buy very useful.  It's CRC 3-36!

CRC 3-36 is a penetrating oil and lubricant. It works well and has many applications.  I have used it to free up rusted bolts and pipe - to wiping on carton conveyor rails for reduced friction.  We use it daily on carton sealer machines as well as rods, sliding joints, pneumatic actuators and valves.  It works great but does wear off and needs reapplied on some applications.  All in all though I like having the familiar green can in my toolbox.

I would recommend adding CRC 3-36 to any manufacturing plant and every technician as part of their own spray can arsenal.

History Lies?


My favorite things to talk about is history, politics, religion, technology and economics.  So many of my posts will probably be in those topics.  That said, let's talk about history for a moment.

My view on history is probably much different than the main stream view.  Now I never considered myself a conspiracy theory nut but with all the holes in our current history timeline and stories, I find it hard to believe that we REALLY know exactly what happened in our past. Let alone in ancient prehistory.  Now I'm not saying that most of the things we are told are not based in fact. Most are. I merely believe that many of the stories surrounding those facts may be false or myth repeated so many times they became considered fact. Conjecture and subjective views can skew perception and empathy and emotion can cloud a persons view. I'm not alone in this idea. Apparently many people from around the world agree that we are missing a lot of information about human history.

Most people have heard the old saying "to the victor goes the spoils" and the same is true in the writing of history.  It's a fact that some people and events have been purposely erased from record by conquering kings and civilizations. History is purposely written with many important facts, historical figures and details left out - sometimes intentionally. The average person knows this!   So, I ask myself,  what makes us think that its not still being done to this day?  What else are we not being told?  What information has been withheld over the entire course of human history?  How do we separate the truth from the lies?  These are tough questions that many have tried to answer.

The Bible is just one example.  When the Bible was put together many relevant texts were purposely excluded (and mistranslated) because they were said to not fit with the others.  But does that make them any less valuable?  If you ask archaeologists if the Dead Sea Scrolls are valuable they will most certainly say yes.  So who decides which side of the story should be told and which should be forgotten?  Why not tell the whole story and let the reader of the texts determine for themselves?  My conclusion; It's a form of control.  Let people know, see and hear only what the powers that be, at the time, wanted them to.

At some point we will examine the Bible and several other examples in more detail.

Napoleon Bonaparte once said that "history is a set of lies agreed upon."  And he was right!
