"It rained like a double-c*nted cow pissing off a cliff through a screen door onto a flat rock."
That Texas lingo makes great dialogue in "No Country For Old Men" and "Hell or High Water."

Is it true Texans will take any opportunity to use power tools, including making breakfast?
I also love the Texan tradition of giving every prominent visitor a Stetson to wear. Isn't there a picture out there somewhere of Prince Charles in his?

Gotta go in tomorrow for a woo-hoo-flu test. Bit achy and a 100.1, mild cough. No loss of taste or smell thus far. *rips fart* Yep, sense of smell still intact.
Just an abundance of caution though, folks. Here's hoping it's just a wee cold during cold season.

Read up on ivermectin (sp?), because it's my understanding it's proving to be effective throughout the progression of the COVIDs.
Probably won't cost $1200 and require you get a booster shot every three months, though.

Need to convince my bride that we need to move the fuck out of Colorado and come back here. We need not live in Billings; hell, I ain't crazy about Billings. But Montana feels so much like home. Prolly because I was born in Butte and spent my childhood split between Billings and Cody WY., which is like Montana's potato cellar.

The people can now see the [DS] system, who is involved and what lengths they will go to reach their goal. This is going to get worse before it gets better. The [DS] is now ramping up the riots to push their multiple agendas, race wars, gun control and it just so happens that this is happening exactly when Arizona is going to be audited. Flynn states that the Arizona and Michigan audits are tactically important. The world is watching. Stay alert the [DS] will counter.

Terro liquid ant bait...get it on Amazon. Takes a couple of days but will get rid of all your indoor type ants.I just get it from the hardware store, but yeah, seconded.

Arizona has 5-7" scorpions. A neighbor found one in a towel she had foolishly left draped on a chair outdoors.
Fortunately, they are not dangerous. The dangerous ones are the little ones you can't spot.

Yeh, yeh, Texas has bugsThere are bugs and there are bugs. Ants I can deal with, as long as they have the same weakness as the ones here. Hawaii had flying cockroaches too, plus centipedes. Sometimes house centipedes show up here after a few days of rain, and it's just sad. Trying to act hard, like they're real centipedes. Hawaiian centipedes are eight feet long and will steal the rims off your car out of your driveway and sell them for meth in Waianae.

I've had good luck with that Terro bait too.
As others have said, let them take the bait and bring it back to their nest. The poison has to be fed to the queen back at the nest. Unless you kill the queen, the problem is going to come right back, so no smashing the lines of ants that you'll see going to the bait station.

I've noticed that the number of "peaceful protests" that end up with the Apple Store getting looted and burned have a strong correlation with how easy it is to get and carry a firearm.
We had a couple of peaceful protests here in Alaska last round. And they were, indeed, peaceful protests. The people came out with their signs, chanted for a while, and then they went the fuck home.
They didn't burn down McDonalds, or start dragging drivers out of their cars and beating them.
Might have something to do with a "liberal" here being defined as "someone who doesn't own anything larger than .357 Magnum", and us having constitutional carry. Ya' think?

Gotta go in tomorrow for a woo-hoo-flu test. Bit achy and a 100.1, mild cough. No loss of taste or smell thus far. *rips fart* Yep, sense of smell still intact.
Just an abundance of caution though, folks. Here's hoping it's just a wee cold during cold season.

Jim, according to the FedGuv, all seasonal flu and pneumonia is gone, and no longer an issue, and it all just happened in 2020. Just like that!

Rodrigo... it won't weld plate, but it will dim the lights a bit when it cycles. 1750 watts, it's right at the limit of a 20 amp breaker.
It was rated to solder electrical main circuits on a Nuke Sub. That's 440vac. Cables about 3/4" thick, close as I can recall.
You'd never use this on a printed circuit board. Unless you like melted silicone and copper, that is.

A Morris Minor 1000
It had a crappy grey paint job and looked like the standard wussy British vehicle of yore from the front. But when I looked around the back, it was jacked up with hotrod slicks and a fancy exhaust/muffler set. Too bad the owner didn't come out to start it up...

So, the baby/toddler became enough of a problem that I had to install barriers around the house. She's cruising around, thrashing things, and imposing herself on me and her sister while we're trying to work and study.
So I made a prison for her, and she broke out of it by shoving one of these pressure-fit gates into the kitchen. At first, I was annoyed, because I was thinking "Great! Now I can spend tomorrow morning drilling these things into door-jambs. Wonderful."
But then I thought a little harder about it. This bitch took the drills and saws to the head half a dozen times in the last year or so, and she woke up the next morning laughing about it and asking for a glass of milk, every single time. All the doctors said she wouldn't even be able to crawl until she was three, but now, at fifteen months, she's standing up and busting down the gates I put up to keep her under control.

I used to run the daily paper in Seguin. Man, do I miss it. My wife keeps telling me we should move back, especially given our overlords here in Ontario have shut us down again. Seriously - they've given the cops the power to pull people over and demand to know where they are going. In essence, they have made even getting curbside pickup illegal, but of course they won't shut me down because then they'd have to compensate me.

Luna is my thermometer. I like it cold. I prefer it to be somewhere around 60F in the house. But nobody else likes that.
When she sits next to me or on top of the blankets, it's fine for the normals. If she starts burrowing in, or sitting on my lap, it's too cold for the normals, and I need to turn on the heat.

Beaches in Seattle? Salt water or fresh water?
Salt water, the top two are Alki and Golden Gardens. Fresh water, almost anywhere along Lake Washington Boulevard south of I-90, most is a public park and accessible by car or bicycle.
And then there are the mega-land areas of Discovery Park (salt water) and Magnuson Park (northernish Lake Washington). Both at one time were military owned. You can get lost hiking around Discovery Park if you have the time, also the least amount of people.

They happened to have slipped when I got two large, hard-bound history books (all I really read). They didn't log them out. So in the system, I don't have them.
One has a bit of damage and a few pages missing, so I was going to recommend they buy a new copy anyway, before I noticed it wasn't technically checked out to me. So that one I'll just keep, probably. Other one is new, fairly popular/in demand (Ian Toll's final part of his Pacific War Trilogy, "Twilight of the Gods"), so that one I'll finish up and turn in of course.

Everyone knows there were precious few prisoners taken in the Pacific by the Allies, and they know why. I didn't know that on Okinawa, towards the very end, the last stand in the southern part of the island, the leaflets and loudspeaker appeals by Nisei American troops actually started to get traction, and thousands of Japanese soldiers surrendered.
One Nisei interpreter even volunteered to accompany a surrendered Japanese officer back to the cave where his men were deciding what to do. He convinced them to give up, and live. There's one Medal of Honor that was missed. My gawd what a valorous, and noble, act.
And on Saipan there was the Mexican-American guy, who was adopted into a Japanese-American household and had conversational Japanese, who convinced many civilians and some military to save their lives and surrender. Such stories are so perfectly and searingly American, they'd probably be as incomprehensible to today's dumbed down and racist/tribalist-brainwashed people as the language of an extraterrestrial alien.

And on Saipan there was the Mexican-American guy, who was adopted into a Japanese-American household and had conversational Japanese, who convinced many civilians and some military to save their lives and surrender. Such stories are so perfectly and searingly American, they'd probably be as incomprehensible to today's dumbed down and racist/tribalist-brainwashed people as the language of an extraterrestrial alien.

In the San Juan Islands. On a boat that slept 6, and in a campground. Dad had difficulty getting away for vacation, so it was usually a 3 day weekend, with maybe starting a day early. When it was dry, it was sweet. But when the rains showed up, oh boy, did they show up.
How does the weather know how to read a calendar? Probably a question for CBD.

It had a crappy grey paint job and looked like the standard wussy British vehicle of yore from the front. But when I looked around the back, it was jacked up with hotrod slicks and a fancy exhaust/muffler set. Too bad the owner didn't come out to start it up...

Cool! I used to own one. Great little car, but gutless. Good handling, though. Rack and pinion steering.

That's a sad story about some crappy people SFG. I understand people can be asses, but I've never been treated this bad in my life.
This will cost me retirement money for the rest of my/our lives. The lawyer I consulted today thought there was a case.

Heh. I was essentially rail meat for a free trip on a 50'+ old sloop in Puget Sound, long ago in late fall (cold and wet), I had at least grown up on a power boat and knew winds and tides, tacking against the wind, etc. So I at least had a basic idea of carrying out a command from the skipper. The weather changed and the waves went from a foot to 4'-6', and an extreme tide change, too boot. The other 4 or 5 people were devoid of a single thought, it seemed. None had ever been on a sailboat. "NO! Port means your LEFT side!!! Left looking towards the BOW! THE FRONT OF THE BOAT!!!" "THE CLEAT IS THE THING YOU TWIST THE LINE AROUND!!!" A sea of idiots, and these were professional adults, who should have at least been able to comprehend basic ideas.
Good times. After it was over, the skipper thanked me, said he was getting a bit nervous, too. Hey, I was on that boat, too, and wanted to make it back to the dock.
