Hello everyone. If you haven’t noticed, a slight change to our posting schedule is now placing the CFBTN on Friday! That’s right I will have a few stories here to get you through your weekend.
Now, I was perusing theonion.com and fark.com for some good news stories because they usually have the humor already distilled. I did find that the regular news is full of funny stuff and it is not too far fetched to get the funny from my local news. But not today. Let’s get right to it shall we?
And you guys thought this was a free country and Bob was more than a little crazy for his Tinfoil Hat Club. Ha! I just bought some Reynolds wrap…. Continue reading »

Well folks, in the grand tradition of sites everywhere I am participating in yet another year end post. Today I have a few awards to hand out.
We will start right here with the coots:
Justin, that’s me, gets the Laziest Coot with the most Crap to Do award. I award myself this because it seems the hours that used to be productive are now stolen by a 1 year old and cleaning up the house. I can only hope that 2012 will allow me to get more sleep and concentrate more on my business and making some dough. Both bread and money.

It seems that all I do on here anymore is bitch. And it is sounding like a broken freaking record. But it is something posted at least. Here is the deal. Cantakerous Old Coots is darn near a one person operation from Ralph. I put some stuff in once in a while. Bob has been MIA while working through his various programs and computer problems.
So some input, what should we do with the Coots? I am sure that Ralph is getting tired of being the only Cantankerous one here, and I am not sure about his commitment to Cantankerosity after that Venice trip. He may need some more time to revive that cantankerous attitude.
As for me, I am trying to get back in the writing saddle all over the board. I ostensibly call myself a writer and creator of web content but I am resting on my laurels from the past. So, if you are reading this, tell me what you would like to see from the Coots. New content daily? A break from Ralph? Podcast revive? Bob’s politics? More News? More Hansi?
That comment section down there has been more active in the past couple of weeks than it has in a while. Keep it up. Let us know what the people want. While this is far from a democracy here, we will listen to your suggestions and implement or reject as needed. You all just have to let us know. We will be anxiously awaiting, well more like just sitting here doing something else waiting for comments to come in and enlighten us.

Do you ever have this post written in your head and even mostly edited, it just takes too much time to get it written? Yea. Turns out there is not a plugin to allow people access to your wonderfully crafted posts in your head. You still must write them out!
So this week has been interesting for Coots subject matter. Bob’s wonderfully snarky post about bin Laden, Ralph’s lament over old movie theaters, well, today, I wan’t to talk about a very special birthday. And then you go and do some more research and find that there is a “(the quotes are important here, think air quotes to get the sarcasm implied)”WEBSITE” that has a different date than the other 47 sites that you look at. Imagine that, something on the internet is wrong.
So I searched for something else that happened on this day in history and came up with the first H bomb test or a patent for wireless radio broadcasting. I don’t really feel like writing about nuclear warheads so I am going to go with wireless broadcasting.
Back in 1908 Nathan B. Stubblefield created a primitive cell phone type device that transmitted via electromagnetic induction. Didn’t work very well and would never be real “radio” broadcasting like Marconi came up with, but it was something to send information over space without wires. Think of what we do now without wires. I am writing this post on my laptop that is connected to the internet over a wireless network. If I wan’t to print, the printer is in the basement hooked to my other computer, but I can connect.
