Traveling is definitely on my to do list... But I'm currently focused on having babies...

@Cutiebeauty I don't want to travel just to travel. I want to help save unfortunate animals especially in places where there are a lot of stray abandoned street animals, many of them sick, injured, mangy, starving. I'm definitely not focusing on having babies since I don't like kids and babies (human ones anyway).

You hush! Unless you give details!

@Cutiebeauty go back to school and get a degree in physics..specializing in quantum mechanics.

@Charlene that's great!

I was semi retired at 42, and a stay at home dad, there is nothing better.

Hey, where you been? Haven't heard from you in awhile. .

@Cutiebeauty Had to go figure some things out personally ya know? Got a new job, moved to a new place, etc.

Good to talk to you again.

How about two thousand a month?

@Cutiebeauty After addressing numerous home repair, improvement, and maintenance projects, I would then focus on climate change solutions. In particular, addressing the problems of transportation fuels and renewable electricity storage, as well as CO2 capture and sequestration.

I've come to the conclusion that transitioning to electric vehicles won't happen quickly enough to avert long-term damage. I just don't see that 11 years is enough time to replace 250 million vehicles, and that's in the USA alone. However, I think switching to biomass-based renewable fuels is feasible within that 11-year timeframe. It won't require vehicles to be modified and most infrastructure would remain as is. Renewable fuels are drop-in replacements, made to the same specifications as fossil fuels, but derived from plants. Not only is the technology proven, there are even large-scale biorefineries in use already. It's more a matter of building capacity, both biorefineries and biomass production.

Some of the same technology for biomass-based renewable fuels could be applied to storing renewable electricity, which is the biggest problem in switching off fossil fuels for elecricity production. This area needs more prototyping, but would utilize renewable electricity to convert biomass into a fuel, which could then be utilized to produce electricity on demand.

As for CO2, there's the approach of mineralization by the electrolysis of seawater. It's unclear to me that this technology actually removes CO2 from seawater (and thus from the atmosphere, as the oceans absorb CO2 from the air), so I'd like to see some peer-reviewed research done to ascertain that. If it proves to be true, then it just needs to be deployed on a massive scale, utilizing electricity from renewable sources.

Of course, that amount of money isn't enough to do all that on my own, but it would probably be enough for me to make faster progress on those things.

What projects do you have Rick?

@Cutiebeauty From another post I just answered about hobbies...

I blacksmith, coppersmith, target shoot, build weapon systems from the ground up (For target shooting), reload, build custom PCs and laptops, woodworking, yard work (yes, some I consider a hobby!) hiking the area, building functional things from scratch, fixing things that were never meant to be fixed and generally working projects around my house!

I get to all of them as needed to keep them fresh and fun.

@RiverRick is that all? Seems kinda lazy to me!

@Cutiebeauty I have those days every now and then too!
