THIS- boys and girls
Is why, when you're trying to protect your buried pipes and cables-
You DON'T put your warning tape right on top of the pipe you're trying to save.
Especially when you KNOW that 'someone' will be digging through rock and expecting to feel things breaking.
This is how you protect your cr@p when you care about it not getting broken.
When putting down your "caution ... buried (utility type here) line below" tape, you want to try giving a good food of notice to the future operator. That way, given the assumption that he's being even reasonably attentive he'll pull up the tape and red sand before hitting your stuff.
That sand has several purposes.
First is pipe padding- it protects from damage from sharp hard stuff that doesn't need to be crushing your pipes.
Second, that different colored sand (different from the surrounding dirt) tells you that there "IS" a trench there- even if there isn't tape, and a good operator will actually check to see what's there.
Third that sand makes hand digging a lot easier than the compacted fill dirt.

Heads will roll
Someone allowed people critical of The Won into the Coakly rally.
BUT,,,on the bright side I see News4 WOAI is taking the Ray Lahood (D- Obamnaut)meme about driver distraction.
Unlike all the cr@p thy blew off all the safety messages fron that EEEevil BusHitlerMcHaleburton.

Sal Esposito
He's a cat.
He got picked for jury.
Nobody knows why-BUT- can I assume, since it's because his records are online from the vet,,,
....OOOPs, looks like I was wrong again (happens alot), his name came from a PET census and got transposed from PET to taxpayer.
...
So... how do you like the mandate that YOUR medical records will be available to any hacker that doesent like you?

In the Mass. fight between light and darkness
It looks like Brown is about five points ahead of Coakly.
The Unicorn Rider is heading up there tomorrow to throw his magic around.
That would make a good campaign ad, wouldn't it- "See the man who is pushing Socialism campaigning for Coakly. The same one who LIES about transparency in Health Care."
Then Brown will loose.
Not because of the lightworkers visit, but by the usual Democratic tactic of stealing the election.
They're probably already programming those Diebold and Sequoia machines to give a certain percent of Browns vote to Coakly.

Smile! It's tax time.
So, did you all remember to march into your HR department and tell them to take an additional $20 out of your pay check to offset 0bamas magical "tax credit"?
If not, how much more are you going to owe in taxes this year?
Oh, and the tax you owe for your $4500 'Cash for clunkers' scam- which they'll be calling income for the year.
Happy changyness y'all

Notice anything?
Psssst.....
Barry,,,
Michelle,,,,
Put your hand over your heart, , ,
It's the National Anthem.
Stolen from Tall Cotton.
UPDATE:
Daym, itIS a photoshop.
Via Linoge in the comments.
But, at least my commenters make better editors than the Lamestream Media does with their Journalism degrees and their layers and layers of editors and fact checkers.
Still kinda sucks to be the only side with enough morals to even mention a photoshopped pic that makes an opponent look bad...

Lets see if I got this right,,
It's really bad when an infidel ruins a Koran (riotworthy)- BUT it's quit alright to blow-up, burn and smear a Koran with blood if you're a mooslimb terrorist and they're not the *right* kind of moslum whos' Mosque you blow up.
Just like it's OK to say anything you want if you're a Dem- IF you apologize to the right people, It'll be glossed over asap.
If you say anything as a Republican, you cannot grovel enough.
Even if the Prez accepts your apology for yelling "You Lie!"- Harry Reid (D-lightskinnednegro) will force a vote to put you on doublesupersecret probation.

For you survivalist types
Who have access to a Mill and a Lathe.
Your next addition to your self defence armoury.
I'll be busy trying not to lose my house in foreclosure.
And the two trucks to the bank..while still having Internet, cable and telephone coverage.
...THEN we'll worry about the EoTWaWKI
ALSO...
To the educated elites out there who know more than us hicks...
You snobs who turn your noses up at us when we ask for Sarah Palins book really oughtta know...
The book "White Fang" by Jack London doesn't belong on the VAMPIRE shelf.
Unless the .gov ed system has decided that it's "too complicated' to understand our history,,,just like it's probably 'too complicated' to put current events into another *not* required reading,,,like maybe "Lord of the Flies" where there was a dearth of adult leadership and the kids voted their society into the ground.

So much wrong
Everything you see in my hand is wrong.
What's worse is that you can tell by the tapped wire nut that an electrician did it.
First, we have the fact that when the wire is connected at the bottom, the connection would be inaccessible.
Then, is the fact that top wire wouldn't match the color on the bottom.
And, there is no strain relief on those connections.
Finally- that wire was supposed to be YELLOW.
That was a Journeyman who did that, btw.
OH!
This popped up after I deleted the above.
Is it me, oe does he look like he's relieving himself?

Stupidity should hurt
And yes, I laughed. In fact I LOLed and ROFLMAO at these 'activists'.
The organizer said a group of concerned animal rights activist groups, “growing tired of throwing fake blood and shouting profanities at older women wearing leather or fur coats,” decided to protest the annual motorcycle club event “in a hope to show them our outrage at their wanton use of leather in their clothing and motor bike seats.” “In fact,” said the organizer, “motorcycle gangs are one of the biggest abusers of wearing leather, and we decided it was high time that we let them know that we disagree with them using it…ergo, they should stop.”
...
“I…I was trying to show my outrage at a man with a heavy leather jacket, and he…he didn’t even care. I called him a murderer, and all he said was, ‘You can’t prove that.’ Next thing I know he forced me to ride on the back of his motorcycle all day, and would not let me off, because his girl friend was out of town and I was almost a woman.”
Still others claimed they were forced to eat hamburgers and hot dogs under duress. Those who resisted were allegedly held down while several bikers “farted on their heads.”
But the way it's written, I'm not sure if it's sort of an Oniony site...
And commenter Kurrt--You dumbass, that cow has been thoroughly killed before processing, and duct tape adhesive is NOT made of animal parts.

Finally???
The Won is going to finally decide that supporting the anti-Mullacastocracy in Iran is worth their effort.
They'll be looking at sanctions that will (as usual) do nothing but hurt the poor and helpless.
Those in power won't be affected at all- as usual.
But hey, better late than never to some kind of anti-totalitarian government movement,
Mr. Obama.
Instead of the kneejerk pro-totalitarian reaction we usually get from you.

Conveying royalty
In case you missed the hoopla, today is Elvis' birthday.
I really don't understand the adoration of 'The King', even if I really like his music.
He was probably a better role model than a recently passed 'idol',,,the 'King of pop' in that Elvis only caused trouble for himself.
In this birthday tunage, I give you some faves of mine- starting with his first record:
Jailhouse rock
Hound dog:
As opposed to Jerry Lee Lewis' 'Hound dog':
Which was good in it's self.
Blue sued shoes:
And, lastly ZZ Tops tribute:
TURN IT UP!
UPDATE:
On the Food Network,,,channeling Elvis, I guess.
'The best fried food I've ever had' is on, and I'll have to try deep fried Brussels Sprouts with vinigaretee and it looks like fried onions and bacon.

Places
Sort of digging on Erics Adak post, some duty stations.
Not a lot of good Rota, Spain videos out there.
Housing in 'Old base' as opposed to the crackerbox appartments in the new YouSAh (USA) part.
If we could afford it, I wouldn't mind retireing to Guam.
Of course I'm sure it's changed in the 25 years since I was there.
And as fitting, there is absolutly nothing good about Puerto Rico or their smaller cousin- Viequez.

Remember "Rule 34"?
It basically says that anything available wil be turned into some kind of Internet porn(I don't have to put the NSFW tag on it, do I- really!).
Given the high quality of your average .gov drone- how long before we see something like 'backscatterboobies.com' on a porntube near you?
And, no- I don't mean our newest .gov USPS worker who goes to orientation on the 19th..

Missed him by *that* much, Chief
Our extremely efficient Homeland security bureaucracy DID actually flag our intrepid smokiedope,,,after he got on that Christmas flight.
But instead of bothering the flight crew about that trivial information, they decided they'd give him his enhanced pre-flight security inspection AFTER he landed.
Because, you know- Obama is the President, and we don't have to worry about those terrorists hating on America anymore.

listening to a new program
Called 'Spirit kids' on A&E.
It's about kids learning to deal with ghosts and spirits they see in their lives.
The ,,,um,,,,councillor sounds just like Mr. Garrison.

We have a hard freeze warning tonight
Here in south Texas, in the San Antonio area.
People up north are getting pounded, loosing power and even their lives.
All I have to say about that is thank Gaea for AlGore and his discovery of global warming, otherwise can you imagine what the weather would be like?
UPDATE:
When I let the big one out at 5 AM this morning it was 25.
Without that glow-bull warming that'll turm the earth into a flaming cinder in10 7 years it would probably be in the teens.

About that TSA review
That 0bama wanted on his desk today.
Which desk is it on? The one in the Oval Office or a card table in the basement of his $28 million dollar borrowed mansion?
Will this sit there until he gets around to it like that $780,000,000,000,000 re-election package did...after the rush to pass it?
Also, I thought leaks were good for the public to know about? The publics' right to know and all...right NYT?
Or do we want to start keeping .gov secrets only when the might go against 'The Won"?
But aren't you glad His majik Unicorns had their anti-boom spells when that plane crossed into U.S. territory.

Just like the 93% of 0bama advisors
I have absolutely no experience creating jobs or running any business.
I however, have enough common sense to know that private business needs stability.
in order to get private investors, you need to be able to show that they'll make some kind of money off of their investment.
...as unpopular as that is in our new centralized governments five year plan.
That's why I, at least, understand why private investors aren't running to support GMAC and their thieving Union thugs.
Why put in good money when it'll just get stolen from you......when the government isn't coercing you into it?

Well that sucks
With a capital X.
I was just looking over the newest 1040 instructions and found out that the only new allowable tax credit for housing is the New House Credit.
The existing homeowners credit didn't make it into Tax Cheat Tim Geithners tax form.
I guess those Lbs in congress would rather f*ck up the entire conomy than help people keep just a little of their money.
...Oh! Wait!! That homeowners credit might give THE RICH a little tax relief too, so nevermindit'snotgonnahappen.
BUT, Karens unemployment is tax free until she takes her first $2400 home.
,,,And here I was hoping I'd get something for NOT buying too much house and then defaulting on it.

That was a bit surreal today
I turned on Hannity this afternoon and over the truck noise (in the boom truck) thought I heard Snakehead and no Sean.
I got into my truck and thought WTF?? James Carville is hosting Hannity?
No, it was a new guy named Herman Cain out of Georgia.
That Gawgian accent sure sounds like that blithering idiot from down around N'awlins way.

Swift action from 'The Won'
So, the political hack we have in DeeCee is playing catch-up on this security thing after blowing it off for his golf and emergency motorcade runs through the streets of Hawaii.
He wants a report on his desk by tomorrow. Where it will sit until he decides he's had enough time off- just like that Pork laden stimulus bill that had the fierce urgency of NOW!
I'm not some kind of security expert (but neither are those Apparatchik's you surround yourself with), but I'd say that part of the problem is 'The Wall' that you put back in place to protect your Chicago pals from prosecution.
You know, the one that prevents .gov law enforcement from talking to each other, the one that Jamie Gorelick put up to protect her boss Bill Clinton.
The same Jamie that was on that farce called the 9-11 commission.
He got on an international flight with just a carry-on (not sure how common that is,,,but) and WITHOUT A PASSPORT.
His own dad reported him to both Nigerian AND American anti terrorist agencies.
Also, although no one else wants to tell you this, it was the absolute bumbling that's been going on since January 20 of this year that gutted our intelligence ability- because they don't want to be prosecuted by your fellow socialist Eric Holder!

The new word of the day is..........
"PIVOT"
That seems to be the newest talking point that you'll soon be tired of hearing from all the Obots in newsland.
Pivot, , , that's what a Quarterback does right before he hands off the ball to someone doing the hard run- isn't it?

The first rule of blogging
Post every day!
What's that word....?
Oh yeah, CONTENT!
As you can see by the timestamp, I'm here when I should be earning money.
That wet, cold front has come through and all I accomplished today was to move a storage trailer from the yard to a jobsite while it was still dry enough.
Dry enough that the average San Antonio drivers wet weather 'drive-it-like-you-stole-it' instinct hadn't kicked in yet.
I've also been having hinge issues with the drivers door on the S-10 -the bushings keep breaking apart, so I've been living with the sagging door. Well, this morning at 0'dark 6AM, the bushings on the top hinge both decided it would be a good time to fall out. So, with suitable language- I hefted the door back up so as to shut it for the drive to work...with LOTS of wind noise.
When I got to work- much to my mental well being, I discovered that somewhere in that 50 mile trip, the pin fell out.
Now I have a screwdriver tip from a 5-in-1 tool holding my door in the approximate place.
I'm torn between fixing it with the *Genuine GM parts* that have continually failed, bolts and home made bushings,,,or probably best that black poly gas pipe I have a chunk of- it's really tough and self lubricating. Plus I can form it with a utility knife (or for you lamestream media types...a BOXCUTTER!!!!!
