Onward South..............
Thursday dawns slightly drizzly and drab...
I go to the Flying J again for some bfast and see another bike out in the rain...it's a Ducati. then I meet the owner Tom Walsh and ask if he wants to get some coffee while he warms up?
Then ask if he's hungry...he agrees and i say I'm buying...he says no so I say lets flip for it...he wins the toss and gets to buy!
He's a hardcoe skiier and is taking the bike to his son since the stance hurts him to ride it much anymore.
He's written one book "Damnyankee"
This review is from: Damnyankee: A WWII Story of Tragedy and Survival off the West of Ireland (Paperback)
"An authentic adventure tale, well told, with solid real life characters you care about. A ten member crew of Navy Airmen, the senior man all of 26 years of age, meet their new aircraft, the Damnyankee, at the Norfolk Navy Base in the late summer of 1944. As each of these young lads are portrayed we feel we know them , all anxious to join the war effort. Tasked to break in this new aircraft and become a team, these young airmen begin a journey from Norfolk to the Navy Base at Dunkeswell, England where they are to become part of Air Wing Five of the Twelfth Atlantic Fleet. Due to a variety of mechanical problems, the Damnyankee has to change course and head for Ireland. Ultimately, they wind up adrift in the Atlantic off the Irish Coast. The adventure and tragedy is the ordeal at sea and the ultimate loss of five of the crew members. The description of this ordeal was a fine example of Mr. Walsh's best writing, truly a first class craftsman.
The survival and recovery demonstrates the best of the Irish: welcoming, resourceful and charming. Thanks to this authors solid research and obvious affection for things Irish, this tale really begins some forty one years after the events and survivors seek to get the whold story.
The evidence, in addition to testimony of critical remaining eyewitnesses is thoroughly presented in photos, hotel bills, phone bills,a newspaper clipping and contemporary signed documents: all set forth along with a detailed diagram of the Damnyankee herself.
Really a wonderful, gripping short story, barely 150 pages, that will keep you enthralled from start to finish. "
And is writing another now, he writes articles and submits photography for cycle magazines, woohoo! He LOVES the Isle of Man TT and is going over in a couple weeks. The 3rd or 4th time, he's a real character and tells me lots of stories of Northern ireland and the TT... It's a great start to the day.
I have nooo pics of him or the bike huh
I think about beelining it down I-84 since I've burnt some time...buuut again do the right thing and head for a break in the clouds to my west. I took this same route last fall, and it will give me a chance to stop in on Stephanie Barclay a friend I met when I rode thru Post on that ride.
I get to the Journey Through Time Scenic Byway and then all good roads leading to Post (the Geographic Center of Oregon...named after the post in the field outback marking the center )
A contadiction in time and space...
Check out this meandering creek!
These roads are after gett'n off 84 and onto 7 "The Sumter stage Hwy" it's a fun road...then onto 26 the John Day Hwy. In John Day get fuel then south on 395 for a couple dozen miles(this section has some gooood twisties too!) Go right onto Co Hwy 63 to Co Hwy 67 and onto the Paulina Suplee road onto the Paulina Hwy...All real fun roads, Twisty sweepers and NO traffic soo you can RIP!
I get to Post and run into the same UPS driver that I did last fall!...Must be near the same time a day...
The Post postoffice...
Behind the counter I find the Wonderful Miss Stephanie We had a really good conversation last year and so I sent her some good books which she has given to alot of others to read...she has some new stories to share and always a great smile!^)-
She fills me up with some great lunch then offers up some "Mint To Be" chocolate mint cookies....and says that their the "Best you'll ever have".....I think she may be right...YEEUUM!!
Back outside to throw for "Kenssi" her Australian sheppard mix, a frisbee fetch'n FOOL!
As I fuel up I notice the help yourself if your outta gas or diesel cans after hours and pay later, I had forgotten....you don't see this everywhere it's AWESOME!
After another great conversation and a hug I head 'er west again. Goodbye Stephanie and Kenssi.......... Peace to you both.
Look'n back at Post...
I cut inside and get to just below Bend before hitting Hwy 97, then stop at the River Woods country store.
As I'm eating lunch a guy rolls in ona Honda with a poochn in a chest pack...
After I ask the staff if they have a recycling container (Nope) Melanie offers to take my bottles and me home! (Haha juuuust kiiiidd'n ) just taking the bottles to put in her recycle can.
I head 'er South toward Redding Ca...

Yo Jim, Your RR continues to kicks ass. Your ability to connect with total strangers is amazing to me. The photos remind me of my only trip in that region. Camping in Hells Canyon and the ride from Enterprise, WA to Lewiston, ID being the high points. Get that engine repaired, enjoy the ride east, and if you need anything in the Central Iowa area,don't hesitate to contact me.

JJ --- Had a great time ripping up Joseph Creek with you last week. That 705cc kit turns the KLR from mild mannered enduro to a bike capable of riding hard and fast. A little rider skill never hurts either. You are a truely unique individual and I feel fortunate to have met you. Keep your feet on the pegs, your face in the wind and karma on your side. Look me up should you make it back to Priest Lake and we'll go hit some gnarly single track.

Still heading South with a plane to catch....ASAP!
I near Klamath Lake as the sun begins to set...after choosing the BETTER/FUNNER twistier roads earlier today...I'll have to ride through the night to make the plane.
As I roll through Dorris I see signs for the border checkpoint...I'm not carrying any fresh fruit or vegatables, buuut I'm not feel'n like chatting ooor opening my gear up tonight sooo I take a dirt detour around and catch Hwy 97 on down a bit further...
Desiree', Me and Mt Hebron...
Yup I'm in NorCal...
I stop at a Country Pride for chow south of Reading and meet PGOD (Pretty Girl Of the Day) Heidi....youv'e just gotta feeel warm inside when a pretty girl shines her smile on you :^)-
As I'm eating I strike up a conversation with Daniel of the Bit River Tribe. This is Daniel and his Nephew Cody...
There are a 11 Bands within the tribe and it now encompasses around 100 sq miles.. We taked of the Sacred Salmon and it's tributaries past and present...blocked migration routes....about the Great Spirit and how everywhere the Oral traditions are the same from tribe to tribe wheter it's Oklahoma Cherokee or Southwestern Navaho or Northwestern Nez Perce etc.... The Messages are the Same...and how OUR Culture has forgotten the TRUTH, and how our schools teach stories that are mostly lies or to say it lighter... we are kidding ourselves....who discovered this or that....
As Daniel Quinn called it.... "The Great Forgetting"
This is a good time for Great talk for a weary rider late in the night..."Food for the Soul as I take in food for the Body"
I get to Jessica's about 5:30am where I'll store some gear before leaving Desiree' at the Airport...This is her bike "DR. Reefie Z" a DR400 in the drive.
I rush to reorganize my gear then talk for a half hour about people and relaionships... then I realize I GOTTA GO!!! Maaan I'm gonna be cutting it CLOSE! I manage a few pics as I race to Sacremento. It's 110miles and takes 2hrs 10min.... I make it in 1hr 40mins!!! I lane split at stops on the fly and use the shoulder to pass too! I use my turn signals and wave at everyone... trying to keep the peace with them all amd so that they hopefully don't take it personal that I'm getting ahead of them... for all anyone knows my wife's in labor, or there's a loved one on their deathbed?
None the less some of them do take it personal and swerve to try and block me...LOL oooh boy... now I'LL try not to take them personally! I'm in a rush because if I miss this flight I will miss getting home ad suprising Sherri before the clock strikes "Midnight" on our anniversary sooo ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM...
Nothing great since iIdidn't have my tank bag to stick the camera to aaand I was doing WARP 10+
I get to the airport just barely 10mins before zero and then am by a fellow passenger and his wife thaaat the flight is in an hour!? Whaat ooooh boy my baaad... I coulda taken it just a leeeetle bit slower...Hmmmmmm well I'm here in time and no one got hurt, that's all that counts.
I meet Louis cleaning the restroom and he tells me he rides too, so I tell him about the people trying to block me on the way here. He get's somber and tells me that last year on the way to a show in San Francisco his best friend Marcelino and he were moving through traffic and a car put the block on them too.... when Marcelino swerved out and around it... An 18 Wheeler inadvertently ran over him ............. oooooh boy now we're both teared up and I give him a BIG hug ... it's taken all of a year for Louis to let go of the anger toward the driver and alot of cages in general. It's been tough for him and still taking along time to heal.
There is a Plaque in Memory of Marcelino at the Airport office... I could'nt find it in my rush, so that I could post a picture here for all to remember.
If anyone lives near the Sacremento Int Airport (SMF) and could take that pic and PM or email me I'd appreciate it, and then post it in this report. Thanx Jim
I make it to Charlotte N. Carolina and start picking up a weird vibe plus alot of HUMIDITY....
Wendy pics me up in Pa and I suprise Sherri... all according to plan....but the lackluster energy I'm feeling from the people (and obviously coming out of me) I see on crowded streets takes it's toll on me! :( It seems like I'm looking into aalot of black soul less eyes...
I've been riding and living in sparce population areas with less human static to block out the earths energy...and my soul still feels like it's out West sooo I'm kinda incomplete in this short term visit... Sad but true I'm not ready to be back here yet though my Angel of a wife is here...that seems to be little comfort.
I deffinately still need to tune on this adjustment part of my life....
To show you how out of touch I was.... I didn't get a single picture from home, not of pretty Wendy picking me up from the airport, not of any friends and family... aaaand especially saaad none of my BEAUTIFUL wife Sherri...
Well lessons to learn.... at least I'm aware of my faults and can/WILL make some adjustments to my engine.
Glad to say that about a week later my head was back on straight (the longest funk in a Looooong time!) and Sherri and I are Hunky Dory again as usual... Whew this feels betta!!
Catch you on the flight back out..... JJ

Landing back out West... Maan I don't ever wanna have to fly A G A I N!
On the flight back West I thinking about things and my feelings..I write this note on the plane. "I really enjoyed my girls company and visiting friends and family/Dad....but I'm really longing for the open spaces of the West.....this has went on since I left there at age 17-1/2...I'm more comfortable now accepting that this "is what it is" and my happiness is truly insided me.... like the little girl Anne Frank had held onto during her 2 year hiding and eventual betrayal to the Nazi's. She found out alot about herself and looked inside for her happiness.... SMART GIRL!"
"But though I find myself in a better place of inner peace.... I still struggle to fully meld into The/Our Culture, which I know in my Core is going 180degrees away from Nature/ The Great Spirit... and in it's fullest form....ITSELF!"
I meet this cool dude on the plane who left Sacremento to fly to Maine to meet up and maybe marry an old girlfriend... he sold almost everything and was low on cash... (it didn't work out so he's fly'n back home)...so I bought him drinks ther whole way back and he in tiurn gave me this cool money clip he made... For the life of me I can't find the note with his name:(..... wait I think I put it in my phone?.......... Yup haha he's Jeff Carr a GREAT GUY here's his pic and the clip!^)- I neeed to call him abnd see how he's doin'......
Sooo as I'm look'n out the window of the plane.... I see about 8-12 faces in the clouds. The configuration changes as the plane moves around and past... and reconfigure again.....I think I should write a book called "Faces in the Clouds...What we can Learn from the Clouds"
Then as we bank hard right I see in a different cloud formation...4 Eskimo or Siberian Indians....hunched forward leaning against the brutal wind, arms held near a shoulder holding the packs loaded on their backs....Heading back Home....I get CHILLS and am Amazed at the Truth's I see in the Clouds....
I can't take a picture because the moment seems waay to sacred... I'm tearing up now as I type this remembering their determined posture....
I remember back in 1999-2000 when after selling my Race car to Sam Lamanna and then crew chief/tuning the car for him on our way to a National Championship...as we were heading west to Michigan I looked up at the Clouds and at that point realized that my Mother, her Mother, everyone and everything that had ever lived on this planet was in those clouds.... whether it's a tree, goat, daisy or a human.... it's made up mostly of water and ALOT of energy...the water of course still containing it...(about 60% for us folks on average the blood being 92% ) So after anything passes on and dries up the/our moisture evaporates back up into the atmosphere and becomes rain-snow-gaciers-rivers etc.... the next time you look up into the falling rain remember it's life/love falling on your face...:)
Anyway now that I'm back to the airport and all systems are in check.... the helmet is still upright and not full of water. I ride toward Sebastopol to regear and explore the area on our bikes...WooooHooo
We walk up town for some chow...here's Jess...
This poor guy was explaining.."I'm not crazy...I just have a hard time communicating with people" maan i have felt it too my brother....and I HOPE they even HALFWAY atleast understand you my brother...
Her mom used to come here as a teenage girl...
In the East West diner restroom I spot this..
We meet Herbie..he has an idea to build a fifthwheel trailer for his bike instead of his side mount, which doesn't turn very well...
Jess wants to show me a street of metal schulptures.. Coooowel! The Artist Patrick Amiot lives on Florence ave. too and fits the schulpture to the neighbors houses as well as his own...
2 pretty girls at once woohoo!)
From Alice in wonderland...there are a couple with this theme...
This one lights up at night looking like movement...
Don't know if he did this one?
Then we go to Jess's work an Organic market...
She introduces me to Malcom a great homeless dude who's quite a Poet... also a few of his friends... I was moved and to show that you get what you put out....I give them everything in my pocket about $90-(thank you Sherri for spread'n the love thru me )'cept I keep $3- for coffee later. We have a good conversation and I try to shed some positive light on them.
$hit!!!... I didn't know it but my camera was set to only record 10second clips at this point... He really has a way with his delivery....
I took a couple but alas this is all that's left...VIDEOVVV
An Adam and Eve with the serpent in the Garden carving we found walking back home...
A Buddhist temple...I'd like to see the inside of.
Then off to the Coast for some Ocean energy... to be continued.

Elevation: 18,491 feet (5,636 meters)

First Ascent: First known ascent by William Raynolds and G. Maynard (US soldiers) in 1848. Probably climbed earlier by locals.

After downplaying it for a long while...it turns out he's Steve Anker Conrads brother...
I buy a book by Conrad and David Roberts called "The Lost Explorer: Finding Mallory on Mt. Everest. And ask Steve to sign it....Cooool!
Conrad was a key member of a search expedition and the one who spotted Legendary British climber George Mallory's body.
Ascents and expeditions of note

Then Ben Dyson also on a KLR. from the Cumbria Lake District in the UK
"A predominantly rural county, Cumbria is home to the Lake District National Park, considered one of the most beautiful areas of the United Kingdom. The area has provided inspiration for generations of British and foreign artists, writers and musicians, including Beatrix Potter and William Wordsworth. Much of the county is mountainous, with the highest point of the county (and of England) being Scafell Pike."
He flew to BC bought the KLR and is now riding to S. America...WoooHoooo

Back to finding some TWISTIES above the Bay....
I gladly leave the HEAT Fresno valley and head Northwest torward San Francisco...I take the more back roads including some dirt to Los Banos and across San Louis Resevoir twd Santa Cruz and some more intercoastal mtn riding. Somewhere outside of Hollister I spot some squigles on the GPS and hit them up, Salinas rd patchy but for a DS it's FUN! :)
I came upon a group of 2 cruisers with 4 Vespas and kindly made my way past...their just not as fast on the bumpy surface as me...
Santa Cruz beach fun........
Then up 1 to the Bay... Windsurfers...WoooHoooo
Windsurfing video vvv
As I roll through Half Moon Bay I see a guy and his son playing in the back yard... I gotta turn around and check this out! Turns out he's Joseph age 30yrs and his boy jack age 4yrs... I thot it was so cool to see a dad that made shields and spears to play with his boy!!!
Across the Golden Gate VideoVVV Sorry about the wind noise...
Then as I fuel up near Novato on the 101 I see a TWISTY road back behind me! It's Lucas Valley Rd and I highly recomend it!!!^)-
Angling North and West...Perfect... Let's GO! It's a snaky road w/ pullouts that 40% of the people actually use:) the rest I pass as usual..I've been hungry since before SanFran and pulled over to peek a few times... Glad I didn't because after Lucas Valley Rd I See thr Rancho Nicasio...An old Marin county Landmark reborn.
I hear live music from the lot and walk in to find EXCELLENT food, a lively atmosphere, an open truss ceiling w/ Elk, Caribou, Bear, Water Buffalo and more on the walls. The service is excellent too!)
SCORE! funny how if you kinda wait... good things you'll find and or they'll find you!)
Intro Videovvv

Peace Bell Video vvv
Then I spy Dillon Beach and go looking for coffee...more good turns, just off Tomales Bay...they're closing but hook me up to thaw a bit...it's in the low 30's.... again.
I get back to Sebastopol and tell jess about the roads and the Rancho Nicasio, and that we should go back 2mro for lunch:)
First a night out...

Ben Carson: White Liberals Are Pretty Darned Racist
Color me shocked! White liberals being racist?
(Mediaite) On his radio show last night, Mark Levin had on newfound conservative "hero" Dr. Ben Carson to discuss all the lashings he's received from the "left-wing media" over his views on gay marriage and religion. While discussing his being a black conservative, Carson told Levin that, in his experience, white liberals are the "most racist people there are."
"They need to shut me up, they need to delegitimize me," Carson told the radio host while explaining why he believes the media has scorned him for lumping homosexuality in with unsavory sexual acts like bestiality and pedophilia.
Levin added that the doctor has been attacked by "white liberals" because he is a black conservative, to which Carson replied: "They are the most racist people there are. Because they put you in a little category, a little box. You have to think this way. How could you dare come off the plantation?"
He's entirely correct. Though, it's not just white liberals, but all liberals, but mostly the white's, who tend to be in positions of power in the Democrat party and the legacy media. They'll attack any minority and/or female conservative in a heartbeat and excuse any attack on said conservative in heartbeat. Notice that no one in the media or on the left attacked Justice Sotomayor for essentially saying the same thing as Ben Carson on gay marriage and in the same way. But, Carson is black and espouses a right side view, so they have attacked him since the national prayer breakfast.

2001 Mazda Miata MX-5 Q&A
2001 Mazda Miata MX-5 Question: Major tuneup for 01 Miata
My mechanic says I need a major tuneup...ignition coil, spark plugs, wires and fuel filter for my 2001 Miata with 125000 miles on it and quotes 500.00. Is this fair...would a whole scheduled maintenance at dealer be more cost effective? Same mechanic changed all fluids and timing belt (#2) 6 months ago. Thanks for your help and input. - kookookoojoo
Answer 1
I had one of these Miatas great car. If you plan on keeping the car fro a long period of time preventative maintenance is key to keeping this reliable car in top order. I always changed all the fluids every 30,000 miles, I never had to replace the coil pack but did n a two customers cars. I don't think I would replace that as a scheduled maintenance item. Engine has hydraulic valves so they are self adjusting (they use engine oil pressure to self adjust. Don't replace the ignition coil unless they see a problem. If coil is included in the price price is fair but may not be necessary. - patrick mannion

Ok, so I just had to pop in and finally do up a diary entry. Kind of excited here as the new platform we will be moving to next week or the week after.
I read there will not be any css or html codes there. So we will all learn together with the help of the Pawsome Pages group.
Here is the link for you all to read the information:
http://www.catster.com/the-scoop/catster-com munity-site-update-may-2015
and just a little blurb I am copying for just myself here:
After the launch, scheduled for late next week, you will be able to navigate through the site with some familiarity, but if you get lost, don't panic, we will continue to roll out refinements over the next few weeks.
For those of you who use CSS, HTML, or JavaScript to customize the appearance of your Pet Pages and Group homepages, please be aware that the code you currently have in your Fun Stuff Bio Fields will not be valid on the new platform. When the site moves to the new platform, your Pet Pages and Groups will no longer feature decorations.
Pet Page styling will be available on the new platform; however, it will have to be done differently. We have solicited the help from the wonderful folks at Pawsome Pages, and they will be available after the launch to assist everyone (including us) learn the new process for styling.
We're all very excited to finally have the Community areas of Catster back up and running again. It's long overdue. Thank you all for your continued support!
We will be back with another Community site update next week, before the launch. In the meantime, don't forget to join us in the All Paws Bulletin Group for updates and information from your friends at Catster HQ.
Much meow,
Lori and John D., Your Community Team
Ok, so I am super catcitied and actually months ago I had stated in a survey that it would be nice for everyone to be able to decorate their pages to the max without having to learn the css codes, as I know there are tons of kibbies out there who want beautiful pages like the rest and struggle with this so I think it will be a blessing and its going to be fun to learn again
Just kind of sad about the Angel backgrounds. Our Buddy's page is so beautiful. I want to take a great picture of it and save it, I only know how to use the snipping tool, if anyone else knows something different, please let me know
So anyway, lets all get our groove on!! I have to get a bunch of boxes and start taking down (in pictures and memories) the lovely backgrounds and stuff and have it all labeled and ready for the big move
We got the best mews yet!! Found out yesterday afternoon the business proposal Meowm and I have been working so hard on has been approved!!
This is huge, catciting mews fur sure!! This is just one of many steps fur me to take on my new business venture. An important step, too.
I'm helping wif looking over different sites on the net to see about making an online store so everyfur can come and have a look at my pawsome catnip mats I have been making and selling. Just have a facebook page fur now, hopefully after the pawlidays the store will be up.
I'm also going to be making stuff fur cat shows and Meowm is going to set up a meeting wif a CEO of a pet store to see if they are interested in our merchandise.
I'm da man of da house, Meowm says so, and I has to look after them gurls and me, too ~ MOL!!!
It's been like furever since I have been it, seems like that anyways. My new business venture has been pretty good ~ making some money to help pay fur my special food.
Meowm just finished working on the business proposal, now she has to meet with a couple of people, go and meet dem Meowm, I has work to do, MOL!!!
I finally has some time to decorate the pages fur Christmas, now how pawsome is that???? Last year at this time we were having problems at Catster, like everyfur else. Now this year, we can decorate our pages, send gifties and stuff and know its all safe and will be here!! What a great feeling that is, every time I come here I realize what a blessing this site is and we are truly lucky to have this site.
Now, I may not be the best little interior decorator around, but at least I'm trying to fix my pages up all nice and with the help of a few dear furiends, who take the time to answer questions and suggestions and hve given me a template to use, I sure do feel wonnnerfu being able to fix my pages up nice!!
Sometime after Christmas I'm going to help Meowm get the online store up and running so everyfur can go and check out our pawsome catnip mats ~ we've heard wonnerfur fings of how much everyfur who has ordered them, loves dem and says they are top quality made ~ only da best fur us kibbies is what I say, MOL!!!

BACKGROUND OF DISCLOSURE This invention is related to hot melt adhesive compositions. In another aspect, this invention is related to hot melt adhesives having high softening temperatures. In still another aspect, it is related to the adhesion of porous substrates using a hot melt adhesive. In still another aspect. it is related to hot melt adhesive formulations based on amorphous polypropylene.
A hot melt adhesive melts sharply upon heating and flows freely for easy application to the substrate which is to be bonded. Hot melt adhesives are not dependent on cross-linking or other chemical reactions to produce a bond between the substrate materials. The bond is produced upon cooling and is dependent upon the penetration of the surface of the substrate. These adhesives are particularly useful in bonding paper. plastics. textiles. wood and other porous materials. Hot melt adhesives are particularly useful for sealing folding cartons and in the production of corrugated paperboard cartons. High bond strength under conditions of high humidity and extremes of temperature which are often encountered in transportation and storage is of particular value in a hot melt adhesive used in the production or sealing of cartons.
Hot melt adhesive formulations based on a variety of polymers and copolymers have come into prominence in several recent developments, but many of these known formulations suffer from the disadvantage of having a very low softening temperature of the order of 80 to 90C. i.e.. below the boiling point of water.
Accordingly. I have now discovered useful hot melt adhesive formulations based on the combination of a low molecular weight amorphous polyproylene and a resinous olefin copolymer of propylene and ethylene. These hot melt adhesive formulations have a softening point of above 140C, which means that contact with very hot water or even wet steam will not destroy the seal produced between substrates by adhesives of this formulation.
Accordingly. an object of this invention is to provide a hot melt adhesive with superior resistance to high SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with this invention. hot melt adhesive compositions with superior resistance to high temperature loss of strength are prepared by combining amorphous polypropylene having a molecular weight of 500 to 15,000, an olefin copolymer of 95 to 98 percent by that the use of amorphous polypropylene havinga molecular weight in the range of 500 to 1.500 produces an adhesive of very low viscosity which has the added advantage of being able to be applied with greater facility to substrate at lower temperature than the compositions containing higher molecular weight amorphous polypropylene.
The propylene-ethylene copolymer suitable for this invention is a crystalline, random copolymer containing from to 98 percent by weight propylene and from 5 to 2 percent by weight ethylene having a melt flow in the range of 250350 (ASTM D l238-65T. Condition L). Preferably the copolymer contains from 2 to 3-1/2 percent by weight ethylene. The copolymer makes up about 35 to 45 weight percent of the hot melt adhesive composition. In a preferred embodiment the copolymer ranges from 38 to 42 percent by weight of the hot melt adhesive composition.
The noncrystalline polypropylene suitable for this in vention is soluble in hydrocarbon solvents such as pentane. hexane and other hydrocarbons at the boiling point, generally has a crystallinity of less than 5 percent and a molecular weight of about 500 to about 15,000; it has been found that using a noncrystalline polypropylene having a molecular weight in the 'range of 500 to about 1.500 produces an adhesive in a desirable low viscosity range. The composition containing the lower molecular weight amorphous polypropylene has a Brookfield Viscosity in the range of 4 to 2.9 cps X 10 in a range of 176 to 189C as compared to a Brookfield Viscosity of 6.2 to 4.5 cps X 10 in the same range of temperature for a composition containing amorphous polypropylene of 8,000 average molecular weight. The noncrystalline polypropylene makes up from about 25 to about 35 percent by weight of the hot melt adhesive composition with a preferred range of about 28 to about 32 percent by weight amorphous polypropylene.
A polyterpene is added to the hot melt adhesive formulation in amounts in the range of 20 to 40 percent by weight as a tackifying agent. In a preferred embodiment polyterpene is added in amounts ranging from 25 to 35 percent by weight of the total formulation. Although other plasticizers could be incorporated for this purpose it has been found that a thermoplastic hydrocarbon resin such as Tenneco Chemicals Nirez 1 135. a polyterpene. is well suited for use in this invention.
An antioxidant or antioxidant formulation can be added to the hot melt adhesive composition if desired. A finite amount of antioxidant up to about 0.1 weight percent of the total of the copolymer and amorphous polypropylene constituents has been found to be effective. A formulation consisting of one part tetrakis[methy1ene( 3.5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyhydro-cinnamate)] methane, three parts dilaurylthiodipropionate, and two parts Dalpac R, a butylated hydroxytoluene produced commercially by Hercules Inc., has been found to be a particularly effective antioxidant.
Mixing the components can be carried out in any suitable manner which continues the mixing at a temperature elevated sufficiently to maintain the components in a molten state until the adhesive composition is homogeneous. Satisfactory mixing can be accomplished with a heated blade mixer or in a container maintained in an oil bath at a temperature between 390 and 455F. The following examples of the formulation of the adhesive of this invention, the description of the test procedures, and the data derived therefrom are meant to be exemplary and are not exclusive.
EXAMPLE 1 The formulations prepared consisted of 40 percent crystalline propylene-ethylene copolymer, melt flow 308 (ASTM D 1238-65T, Condition L), 30 percent by weight amorphous polypropylene, and 30 percent by weight polyterpene tackifrer. The propylene-ethylene copolymer was made by visbreaking a propyleneethylene copolymer having a melt flow of 4 to a melt flow of 308 (as determined by ASTM D-l238-65T, Condition L). The crystalline copolymer of propylene and ethylene contained about 97 percent by weight propy- 'lene and about 3 percent by weight ethylene. The polyterpene tackifier used was Nirez 1 135 produced by Tenneco Chemical. When added, the amount of antioxidant was 0.1 percent based on the crystalline propylene-ethylene copolymer plus the amorphous polypropylene. The antioxidant consisted of one part tetrakislmethylene( 3,5-di-t-butyl-4-hydroxyhydrocinnamate) ]methane, two parts of a commercially obtained butylated hydroxytoluene, and three parts dilaurylthiodipropionate. The tackifier, amorphous polypropylene, and the antioxidant were melted in a stainless steel beaker heated in an oil bath at 204C for 30 minutes; the crystalline polypropylene-ethylene copolymer was added with agitation during the following 45 minutes and final blending to homogeneity required an additional 45 minutes with agitation. Formulations were prepared in which the amorphous propylene polymer had an average molecular weight of 7,500 (Formulation A) and in which the amorphous propylene polymer had an average molecular weight of 800 (Formulation B).
EXAMPLE 11 A Nordson hot melt applicator, Model 11, was used to test the performance of the hot melt adhesive compositions of this invention and the control compositions in machinability and bond strength. The applicator is equipped with a large drum 12 inches wide and 39 inches in circumference which is then covered with Kraft paper. The molten adhesive is extruded from a nozzle to the drum applying either an intermittent or continuous head of the adhesive to the substrate. To make this useful for producing laminations, a modification was added so that two rolls of paper and a nip roller complemented the large drum. By varying the drum speed and raising or lowering the nozzle above the sub strate, the length of time between application of adhesive to one substrate and application of the other substrate could be varied. Since it was desired that paper laminates be prepared at higher application temperatures than the 210C maximum hose temperature of the commercial Nordson hot melt applicator a modification of the applicator was adapted for some of the runs. This modification consisted of adding a one-liter reactor equipped with an air-driven stirring motor, electric heating mantle, thermocouples, and a stainless steel line with valve from the bottom of the reactor to the wheel laminating assembly, all of which was installed on a stand directly above the drum.
A comparison of the bond strength of the adhesive compositions of this invention are compared with the bond strength of a commercially available amorphous polypropylene based hot melt adhesive in the data shown below in Table 1. This also illustrates the improved bond strength at low pull speeds of laminates produced by bonding two strata with the hot melt adhesive of this invention. Paper-adhesive-paper laminates are illustrated but any porous strata can be laminated in the same manner. A laminate comprising several strata can also be produced.

The formulations prepared in which amorphous propylene polymer having an average molecular weight of 800 was substituted for the amorphous polypropylene having an average molecular weight of 7,500 produced an adhesive of advantageously low viscosity which also showed good bond strength. In contrast to the excellent adhesion of paper to paper observed with the adhesive of this invention, the commercial hot melt adhesive based on an amorphous polypropylene with an average molecular weight of 30,000 showed good bond strength when pulled at 10 inches per minute but poor bonding at the lower crosshead speed of 0.2 inch per minute.
TABLE ll Softening Points of Hot Melt Adhesive Formulations Softening Point. C
in the table above adhesive softening points of the compositions of this invention are compared with the softening points of a commercial amorphous polypropylene based adhesive and a standard ethylene-vinyl acetate based hot melt adhesive. The temperature at which measurable softening and flow of the hot melt adhesive occurs defines the upper limit at which adhesive will be effective. Since melting occurs over a range of temperature. it is difficult to measure exactly. The test employed to determine this value was ASTM D 3666T, (Ball and Ring Apparatus). The compositions of this invention showed a softening point 42C higher than the commercial amorphous polypropylene based adhesive and 78C higher than the ethylene-vinyl acetate formulation.
Another test employed to determine softening temperature is the Static Load Test. In this test two oneinch wide paper strips are bonded with a one-inch overlap. resulting in a one square inch bond area. Duplicate samples are suspended in an oven and a 250 gram load added. The temperature ofthe oven is raised incrementally at 30 minute intervals. When the bond fails, the temperature is recorded. The results of this test are considered to more nearly represent the maximum performance temperature of a hot melt adhesive. It must be noted that the compositions of this invention showed an increased performance advantage over the commercially available material using this test as compared with the Ball and Ring test.
Reasonable variation and modification are possible within the scope of the foregoing disclosure, and the appended claims to the invention the essence of which is that there has been provided a hot melt adhesive composition with high softening temperature based on a mixture of amorphous polypropylene, an olefin copolymer of crystalline propylene and ethylene, and a polyterpene tackifier.
I claim:
1. A laminate exhibiting good bond strength at crosshead speeds of 0.2 inches per minute as tested by ASTM D l876-61T comprising at least two porous strata bonded by a distinct interlayed stratum of a hot melt adhesive consisting of (l) 25 to 35 percent by weight amorphous polypropylene having a molecular weight range of 500 to 15,000; (2) 35 to 45 percent by weight of crystalline olefin copolymer of to 98 percent by weight polypropylene and 5 to 2 percent by weight ethylene; and (3) 40 to 20 percent by weight of a polyterpene tackifier.

As stated at the start of 2012, and now more so 2013 will be the continuation of much chaos economically as well as militarily. We have gone through much doom and gloom already. But now, it is of urgency that we wait to see whether Iran goes nuclear, whether Israel takes it upon herself to attack Iran, whether the US leaves Israel to fend for herself, wether the results of the US election mandates a new era with US relations towards Israel, the Mideast, China, and Russia. Further, we still see the Syrian civil war as a not reaching a climax.
Israel must face the challenge of a nuclear Iran with or without the U.S. to protect her. Further, Syria feels threatened as did Libya where Assad may lash out at Israel with chemical weapons. The Hezbollah may too jump on in. Lebanon and Jordan may face their own arab spring. Egypt may tear up the Israeli peace treaty any day. Turkey looks as Israel with jealousy for Israel's gas and oil reserves in the Med.
China and Russia wish to impose retrictions on America's once global dominance where there will be more challenges to U.S. interests leading to possible military blows.
North Korea's tender young leader has no fear in challenging U.S. might and may cause further military adventurism. He too develops the ultimate EMP weapon to destroy the US.
Pakistan has nukes that could be stolen and/or Pakistan and the U.S. may enter into more vis a vis hotile interactions.
Iran is threatening to challenge the west and is due for a nuclear detonation very soon. What the U.S./and or Israel do to stop Iran is worthy of watching every day.
Iraq is now under Iran's thumb and likely will further become a feifdom of Iran.
Afghanistan is soon to force the withdrawal of U.S. forces.
India and Pakistan may soon come to blows.
Will the global economic crisis resolve itself, will the crisis collapse the world economy, or whom may come forward with some new currency?
Further, spiritually, 2013 looks to be a year of more turmoil. G-d seems to lost his position in many of the World's people. He will lash out. What will come of signs in the sky? Is that a great comet? Earthquakes? Hurricaines?
Look further at bug-outs or going grey, everyone should be prepping by now in case things really do go bad. I am just saying. Fiscal Cliff? Banning guns? Who is Obama alligned with?
