    One of Chuck’s unrecognized contributions to aviation history? He delivered my snack bar beer, San Miguel lager, Doug MacArthur’s old company,
    from Clark AB to Phan Rang AB RVN during monthly in-country flights for Combat Pay and tax deductions in 1966-’67. 9 cases iced down at altitude fit in the B-57 rotating bomb door stead of nine bombs. Usually spent a night and flew with my 8th TBS on a 3 shipper next day . As our 405th Tac Fighter Wing CC in the PI could not be lead in RVN but at the target we just let him go with what we learned from. Had tested the Canberra in early 50’s at Edwards Test Center and knew inside out. Really made our day to welcome him but we drank the beer gladly post mission. Fun to say flew with best ever on my wing. Last spoke in ’71 as Ramstein AB 17th AF Vice CC at Bitburg  AB parade review. Warm summer day in August and I sidled over to review stand to say “be nice to sip a cool San Miguel, eh Boss?”. He laughed but had sworn off party dinking to make B Gen finally. Became USAF Pakistan advisor on use of the old B-57’s given them. During 80’s daily advised me to use AC Delco plugs on dinner time TV. Proudest of he always said his young troops had similar right stuff. I salute a real man. Don I Phillips, Captain, USAF, Retired

    “Yeager returned to combat operations in 1966 as commander of the 405th Fighter Wing based in the Philippines. After earning a promotion to brigadier general, he became vice commander of the 17th Air Force in Germany in 1969. Yeager then was named U.S. defense representative to Pakistan in 1971, and in 1973, the same year he was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame, he took on the role of director of aerospace safety at Norton Air Force Base in California. In February 1975, shortly after completing his final active duty flight, he retired from the Air Force.”

Bursting in air

Near top of my July 4 recalls..

Citation To Accompany the Award of

The Air Medal ( 2nd Oak Leaf Cluster of 14)
To

Don I Phillips

First Lt Don I Phillips distinguished himself by meritorious achievement in aerial flight as lead navigator- bombardier of 2 B-57 tactical jet bombers near Son Tinh Special Forces Camp.. 4 July 1966. …Despite adverse weather in form of a direct cross wind and intense ground fire….on repeated passes on the hostile forces with a variety of weapons causing complete destruction of twenty-five buildings, one bunker, and death of at least 10 Viet Cong soldiers … reflect great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force.

Lesson was? National holidays just like Sundays in life and death wartime kill or be killed. Except Sundays were Red letter “S” on your automatic self winding BX Seiko. Seemed then like what we fought for on 90CC Hondas we flew in to sell when tour was up. 8

Truly funny? The Instructor Pilot washed me from pilot training in May ’61, Leslie Langus is name above mine on same 7th AF order for a 3rd AM. Now a Major Flt Leader in F-100s saw me enter Phan Rang O Club bar in Oct ’66 and said “Phillips! What are YOU doing here?

My answer said it all. “Les, we’re the competition!” My B-57 sqdn had just moved from DaNang way south to PhanRang for better close air support near Saigon Army huge build up begun in 1966 to 1972. We greeted our 2 sqdns of “Huns” as “HEAVY HAULER”.. it carried 2 bombs. Cong name for B-57 was Nasty Caterpillar as we round and around and around dive bombing with huge load inside and out. Pick what was best for that tgt. Move on if needed more elsewhere. .THEN expend either 1200 of 20MM in 4 wing cannon or model with 8X .50 2400 rounds, We liked being a small, fast firing USAF equal Army Brigade. As did our Phan Rang HQ Brigade 101st Air Bourne mission complete partiers . . We burned brought box rib eyes, they tapped endless kegs PBR. Soldier once? and damn stupid young. Luck? Live through enough stupid years to good age with a great lady.

Paul’s cronie Don Phillips will gladly help bamboozle prospective investors. He already screwed a bunch of veterans selling shares at inflated prices. Disgusting. Practically treasonous.

“It is easier to fool someone, than to convince them they have been fooled.”

For those that don’t get it, it means that people need to be more careful, and do good due diligence

Comes out as hear no evil but it’s the idea. Sr year 2 hour after school janitor women’s clothing store. Woolworth on the corner cross from Sears, Salinas Valley Center encroaching on the lettuce fields Steinbeck wrote of. Phillips were real grapes of wrath movin on US 66 Oct 1937. I was 2 weeks old. Grandparents went on ahead but we caught up. Men worked rebuilding So Pacific washed out bridges that year Kern River floods. Rest is history to simply just live through. Near all the education a person needed but I did add some on near free one way or next .

3 Knows (and Da Shadow!)

Common knowledge

In broader terms, common knowledge is used to refer to information that a reader would accept as valid, such as information that many users may know. As an example, this type of information may include the temperature in which water freezes or boils. To determine if information should be considered common knowledge, you can ask yourself who your audience is, are you able to assume they already have some familiarity with the topic, or will the information’s credibility come into question.

Specific and general knowledge

 We define specific knowledge as knowledge that is costly to transfer among agents and general knowledge as knowledge that is inexpensive to transmit. Because it is costly to transfer, getting specific knowledge used in decision-making requires decentralizing many decision rights in both the economy and in firms.

General Knowledge

General knowledge is information that has been accumulated over time through various mediums. It excludes specialized learning that can only be obtained with extensive training and information confined to a single medium. General knowledge is an essential component of crystallized intelligence. It is strongly associated with general intelligence and with openness to experience.
General knowledge is also moderately associated with verbal ability, though only weakly or not at all with numerical and spatial ability.[3] As with crystallized intelligence, general knowledge  is information that has been accumulated over time through various mediums.[12]
Specific knowledge can be found by pursuing your genuine curiosity
Very often specific knowledge is at the edge of knowledge. It’s also stuff that’s just being figured out or is really hard to figure out.
So, very often, it’s not something you sit down and then you reason about, it’s more found by observation.

I see a rather total misunderstanding of the Lode failure to profit. It was due NOT LODE but the conversion from GSPG by original 200-1 reverse due original ’04 toxic lending from Winfield’s Portsmouth Sq financial group. Mgt refused to bite the bullet and authorize the 3 billion shares needed to convert the preferred shares awarded instead of cheap shares arranged by Winfield’s BoD. Never produced enough to cover the reverse into profit and forced later convert the preferred in shares decimals WAY below any original Mar ’03 .11 GSPG and a later 20-1 R. Mexus CEO is smart to simply bite and authorize about same 3 billion needed for wiggle room to get into profit before any reverse. Where I conjectured up msg bd financing to raise $9 million to buy the Plum and American Flat facility. No more left to raise and CFO turned to 20% Winfield Gp and the tale down hill began with US and AZ court fights til mid-07 killed any possible gains long into a increasing poor future now. Is no
great claim to fame but it also got us all this far in the repeat. GORO success? Bill Reid was a fantastic respected Denver rubber chicken circuit
speaker and I was not needed to help find some cash. I was allowed to offer on line .25 pre IPO 2004 shares with one taker a friend, died with a cool million. Did later assist many cash out big from ’06 IPO $1. Close a mea culpa as I can get from Tale of 3 cities best and worst of times. 8

Well if relaxed vibrancy is covered by pretty aimless stuff hit and miss since Jan 1 under Official topics “Gold Rising” and “scheduled maintenance”;
some one should scrub the floor and arrange furniture. Janitor need not blogger. Next to no Chat, 1 Other Companies and 1 Coffee welcome back, are my Ihub crap reposts as all await nothing of worth 30 days since Dec 16.Then this IS THE place. Seen happier wakes when the Irish passes round some. I’d take a look back pre Reno. Seemed then we could comment now is say nothing, don’t quote me. I’ll tell ya what’s up when I can. Not my brand schooled Pro Journalism when fun’s red penciled out of written life.

Happily? Today they fund my escape hatch of a new more than double Home Equity to pay my 15%-29% credit cards Mexus used at 2 year sucker rates I could never do more than payments as PPS sub cent and sub sub cent and no 13% end of year loan kicker seen. My fault but home clear now to live on income once again. Hard to imagine .04PPS now pie in the skyish. Need find my Little Golden Book Little Train That Could. Do I think I can? 8

Thanks jackbnimble007 for your post, and appreciate your IT knowledge contributed. Don’t feel that my fellow shareholders feel that this chat board is a wasteland, since we have had some valuable communications from wxdog , Belgie, Dino, and many others. Never want to disrespect the importance of contact that these shareholders have had with PT, while we are waiting for any updates at Mexus. Many thanks, again, for sharing at this forum, and we value your posting. As discussed before, some investors only like to read the updates here, and prefer not to call PT themselves. Some might feel unable, uncomfortable, or would rather not bother PT at work. All responsible adults here are able to make own decisions. I’ve always felt that if one decides it is time to leave, everyone here respects their decision. It is good to always try to look forward and moving on with life as we know it. I do know that standing up for what one feels or believes is important to each poster, and for some time lately, there has been a much more relaxed sense on our chat board. Anyway, great that all feel free as contributors currently! Thanks, PGreat, for keeping this running smoothly for us to post.

Don, My reply might be a little lengthy
I was a drug and alcohol abuser for 10 years, from 18 to 28. I now am a believer in the Lord with my precious wife who hung in there with me until the Lord rescued me. We both belong to the Pasadena Healing Rooms out here in California. Remember David Solomon ? When I read he was sick I was compelled to contact him. My wife and I started to pray for him. His book the Dead Saints Chronicles was not near done. I believe that our prayers allowed him to finish his book then leave.
My chance meeting you as you walked to your SUV, at the LODE shareholders meeting( 2011?) where you stated “if I had a spare nickle, I might want to invest in MXSG, I sensed s spiritual connection like with David. I make a mental bookmark and leave it in the LORD’S hand. I sensed back then that you believed in GOD but had a very bad christian experience(influence) God is love and I remember back then I sensed that was not demonstrated to you. The Bible states that no greater love hath any man than he is willing to lay down his life(War Veterans?)
My Wife and I will start to pray for you and your wife tonight. Let me know what the doctor says tomorrow.I believe pray changes the outcome, also believe in good nutrition. Was told “you are type two diabetic”. I book I would highly recommend “Let food be your medicine” By Doctor Don Colbert (thought he had an office in Texas not sure though)
2 blood tests after a radical diet change= No diabetics

My wife recently had an MRI of her back and hip 69 years young, me 72 and our doctor said ” I don’t see how she walks”

Nothing magical rid of Type 2 and testing 15 years back. I ate it on so I can lose it. Atkins based protein but imagine up enough variety to take on a few carbs for fun. Weekly PIzza crust holds 2″ of meat cheese and vegies. Followed lo Lose 30 ugly pounds while keeping my head about me. Tossed m the meter and strips all due to hated some nurse tell how to cut mv toe nails square, round tips. Bugaboo is weigh loss plateau. We feast on comped casino meals gain 4 and lose 5 at home to keep trying.

Use what works revealed is a way through a good life well enough spent. Never be totally satisfied as why there’s a tomorrow for doing better then there isn’t but the mystery.

This is obviously not a important reply or post . Since it’s my business being in IT . Curiosity gets to me. If this is a standalone server and not in the cloud why the server does not have a redundant dual power supply? I’m hoping it’s because the hosting is very cheap or perhaps self hosted :-)
This will probably be the longest post for me since I’m below a novice in gold mining, instead of an expert in computers.

“POG is irrelevant to a company that can’t seem to produce more than a few blobs of slag.”
24/7 hobby posters still unaware MC “slag” is very attractive obsidian like glassy mineral formed in the same volcano like kiln and rapidly cooled with the PM pour. Contains some 1%-2% PM and usually saved to grind and extract PM by simple gravity table or some other process. We’ve seen no “slag” of any form in a Mexus PR.
MC slag often collected and sold as semi precious gem stone. What is termed ” blobs of slag” is misshapen lab test fired PM and is the ONLY relevant item with the process proven MC product. POG is thus KING of the HOLE! Reprocessed slag may only return 1%-2% POG but obviously higher POG? even more 2% cherry topper. READ UP!
Obsidian Stone is a mineral among healing stones. It is known as the volcano glass among the people. They occur with the sudden cooling of volcanoes. Mayans of ancient civilizations used the Obsidian stone to make a mirror. Obsidian, which is among the precious stones, is formed as a result of sudden cooling of volcano lava. Feb 18 2019
