Passion what are you passionate about ???? Ranting of a father !!!!!

The other day I had a friend in the next slip ask me what I am passionate about and how I have maintained such a great relationship with my  Daughters ......well I thought about  Sailing , Nance [not in that order ]and my wind generator .......it got me thinking deeply .....about my Daughters and  I am struck with thoughts about what and why ...things  I must instill or teach my daughters daily to counteract the garbage from Tv , the internet , school and thier friends www.botcwindsolar.com
Here is my list :[seriously tell me what you think of it piratesbotc@gmail.com]

1]Fathers are forever , I will always be there beside her , with her and for her to depend upon.A lighthouse.

2]She is beautiful just the way she is .Her Natural attractiviness is all she will ever need .Reaffrim this daily

3] She is enough and capable of anything.She has all the intelligence ,confidence and capability to accomplish anything.

4]Practice saying NO! along the way girlfriends and boyfriends will place her in a position where she may make poor choices but she must say no !!! Practice makes perfect !!!

5]Believe in RIGHT and WRONG , she will need moral clarity in the future ,teach what is ethical and right so she has a measure to live by.

6]Humility , Yes I want them to have confidience and independance but I also want them to respect others and treat them with diginity .[ie people in positions of authority , elders and me]

7]Maintain a healthy lifestyle with laughter , song and good food.They must have a heathly view of thier diet , lifestyle and excerise habits.Go SURFING  , eat mangos and laugh at the absurd.

8]Men should treat her with gentliness and respect , she should exspect and refuse anything less.

9]Modesty , it is more attractive to create a modest and authentic look , [revealing looks are crying for attention] there are boundries that are acceptable and these are my boundries.Deal with it and live with it.

10]Relationships and Family matter most , most of her joy and fullfillment will come from the relationships she builds , so she must choose and act wisely.Wait and catch the right wave.

11] Stay away from drugs and dont drink too much , Alcohol may be harmfull and impairs judgement, the effects of abusive before she is an adult is painful.

12] I will always defend her ,if someone wrongs her in any way I will always defend her and champion her cause ,she need never look elsewhere for protection.

13]Managing money , thrift and fruigality  are virtues to be held dear.

14]Honesty and Integrity , always maintain these qualities.

15]Patience , wait to have sex, wait for the right man ,wait so you can finish college , wait so you can travel ,dont rush into things ,the right wave will come.

16]Keep things simple  , the simplier the solution the more eloquent.

17]Believe and trust in the power of prayer , you are blessed and highly favored

18]We have Enough , dont fall victom to consumerism, give generously of yourself

19]Appreciate Nature , come with your Pop and go surfing or watch the sunset , marvel in the glory of nature and God

20]Be persistent ,Perseverance is a fine attribute to have and hold,catch the right wave
21]Be practical and pragmatic , solve all problems is a logical way , solve the problems for others they will love you for it

22]Dont get pushed around , you have authority over your life , take control , you are your own best hero !

23]Ask what can I do about it? Be practical and follow the prayer of St Francis [ my english Teacher had me recite it daily ,I thank her for that to this day] , it will reduce your stress and lead to a longer life

24]My love is unconditional , I will always, always , always love you , I may not agree with your choices But I will always love you and you must understand the seperation between these two concepts

Finally .....My Daughters Matter and the job of being a Father in todays society is difficult ,the opposition is fierce and unrelenting , I literally draw a line in the sand on my island daily , I will not give up on you ,I will be an example for you to be proud of now and in the future , our society will not claim you as a victim , I will ensure you are strong ,secure , proud and ready for tomorrow,I love you......thank you girls for teaching me as much if not more than I have taught you over the years.

BOTC 400 Watt Wind Turbine  with Controller     www.botcwindsolar.com
 
Complete specs this it the the Best          call me for any questions      $950.00     we ship worldwide !!!!!!!!
call me directlyt for any questions       409 457 2049

 AC output at the wind turbine body ensures you keep the most possible power over long distances from generator to batteries.

High-quality marine-grade coating and construction provides versatility in sea environments.

Begins to supply power at a low 5.6 MPH wind speed, so even if the wind dies down, your power won't. Max power is reached at 28 MPH wind speed [at this speed the generator is actually producing 550w ]. This should be fully understood  these tests were done with a new out of the box unit .As all engineers know , bearings  and motors all achieve better results after a break in period , for bearings and motors  it is usually around 60 to 100 operating hours .

After 2 years of marine usage my personal unit supplies 375w in a 11 to 15mph wind with starting power at 2.3 to 3.5 mph wind speed

Testing was conducted at Texas A&M Maritine University here on Galveston island and in Shantou China at Naval Station .
