If you're into woodworking.
Lets say you have some found wood that would look real good cleaned up and made into furniture and you have a planer in your shop.
No matter how much you sand and scrape, there is always going to be something that'll ruin those planer blades.
So what you want to do is buy you another good set and be ready to ruin that set for the first several passes until it's clean or the blades are too dull. Then you use the other side until they're unusable.
What you do now will save money down the road.
Take those dull ones out and bring them over to your belt sander!
Put on a semi-fine belt and with a board backing it, make about six passes on the back of each blade. That takes the dull off, and makes them available for more destructive prep work...and saves your new sharp fine finish blades.
If you don't mind the distressed wood look, you can make some niiice furniture out of oak pallets and dunage.

Memories
I just got these pics from a friend I just re-found via facebook.
Rota, Spain- NMCB 133 line crew:
Setting transformers-
OSHA? Who's that?
(I'm on the bottom)
Demoing an H-frame.
It looks like it's by the VP hangers.

Weekly poll- The Warriers edition
Yes, I know we did this once before, but it doesn't count because that HTML completely screwed up the blog.
To refresh your memories:

Adenoid Hynkel (Charlie Chaplin)
Dennis Rodman (The Worm)

Did they get this copy from the Onion?
I mean, I know I have a crappy blog full of garbled and mangled english- but I'm not a college grad with a BS in verbiage... or layers and layers of editors and fact checkers.
So, read this first paragraph:
Six in 10 Americans don't think the U.S. should be involved in Libya, according to a new CBS News poll. It found that only 30 percent of Americans think we're doing the right thing by intervening militarily in that country. That includes majorities of Republicans, Democrats and independents. As a point of comparison, 51 percent of Americans and a majority of Republicans think we're "doing the right thing" in Afghanistan. The Libya numbers are bad news for the man in the Oval Office.
And tell me how 30% can be a majority of anything?
Much less if you include three groups. Wouldn't that dilute it down even farther?
Or- am I reading that wrong?
Because the rest of the article seems to be saying how vulnerable president Gutzy Kall is about his Libyan adventure.

In new news this morning
We find via The Other McCain- that Joan Jett is suing a record company to stop the unauthorized distribution of her name and sound.
And the only reason I bring this up is that it's a good excuse for some Blackhearts!
Yes, I know the article was talking about the Runaways, but I like the Blackhearts better.

It's good enough for you rednecks to live in
That's why the FEMA that works for the Chicago Jeezus thinks a house sucked off it's foundation isn't damaged enough for a FEMA grant.
BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- The tornado turned Jonathan Stewart's house into a pile of rubble on April 27, nothing but bricks and debris scattered ovei a concrete slab.
Days later, an inspector from the Federal Emergency Management Agency came to Stewart's address in Pleasant Grove, and took some notes and pictures. Three days later, Stewart received a letter stating he didn't qualify for a FEMA grant. One of the reasons: Insufficient damage.
'Based on your FEMA inspection, we have determined that the disaster has not caused your home to be unsafe to live in,' the letter read.
But, hey! There's always an appeal!
FEMA spokeswoman Renee Bafalis said getting people to appeal has been the agency's biggest hurdle. "If you have a question why you received a determination of ineligibility, go in there (to a disaster recovery center) and let them look it up and help you file an appeal," she said.
An applicant has 60 days from the date of the determination letter to appeal.
Because everyone whose life is completely wrecked and disrupted has lots of time to sit around waiting foe a bureaucrat to make an appointment for a long and boreing hearing.
Oh? What's this, Urkle's FEMA is still as f*cked up as Bush's?
Stories about insufficient damage findings by FEMA, similar to the Stewarts' and Tabb's, abound in news accounts and blogs after nearly every recent disaster.
A 2011 tornado victim in North Carolina whose ravaged home was condemned by the city received an "insufficient damage" determination from FEMA. A Mississippi couple who received such a finding after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 posted before-and-after pictures of their two-story home, showing nothing left but foundation posts. A Slidell, La., Katrina victim posted an appeal to her "insufficient damage" finding, asking what kind of damage would be "sufficient," given that the house was gutted by an 8-foot-high storm surge and all possessions were lost.

PELHAM, N.H. (CBS) - Pelham police say they were justified in using a Taser several times on a cow, despite a complaint from its owner.
~snip~
Sgt. Mike Pickles told WBZ he made the right decision.
“It blew through a wooden fence right next to me. That was the time a decision was made. I have to do something to try and control this animal,” he said.
“As a matter of public safety, that is a better option than just allowing things to happen and people get hurt.”
So, we're going to 'control' an 800+ pound animal using something designed for a 250 pound human.
Way to go Einstein. Did you even think to wonder how much MORE dangerous it would be to piss her off or scare her?
Don't they have ropes in New Hamster?

Who are trying to screw up enough outrage about Rep.Weiner (D-NYC ) and the people he represents.
Let me make it easier for you to see things a little more clearly

hey- they're both New Yawkers - and Liberals
A little vacuume and Huma will be back between Hills......
Oh, sorry- we're not supposed to go there....
Yeah, they're both big time abortion on demand Liberals, so I don't know why they don't just dump that 'unviable tissue mass' along with everything else anTONY stood for.
Just like the 51% of new Yawkers that think anTONY should represent them.

Well, I have to admit it
I just turned off "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" to cruise the intra tubze before going to bed.
I'm getting old.
I'm thinking of turning down an easy $250/day job so I can drive a truck for about $200/day because I'll have A/C in the summer and a dry warm cab in the winter.
If anyone knows any one who want's to live on the Texas gulf coast and make good money for not a whole lot of work, my e-mail is in my profile- because they're screaming for drop bury techs down Corpus way.

In the huge media nonevent
That's happening in Alaska right now shows how utterly fixated the Liberal lamestream media is on vetting a non-candidate who never wanted to be the President.
You've got 30+ reporters up their going over every official e-mail of Sarah's with a fine toothed comb just to see if there was anything out of order.
You'd think someone might have sent maybe ONE cub reporter to look into Teh iWON before he became the head Marxist.
OK, if it hurts your racial profiling bone about going after a brother- just send someone to check out his white half.

Just wondering here...
I accidentally hit the "government" classification in the craigsList help wanted section - they wanted TSA agents.
I don't know where it came from, but just out of curiosity- who fondles the trannies?

So, the iWON is losing his base
Losing college kids.
Losing the illegals vote.
Losing the loonie Left.
So what to do?
Hey! Lets see how we can fool Cletus.
Those hicks in Flyover country aren't as sophisticated as some Vato with a third grade education, or even La'deshawn Washington.

Busy day more later
...Maybe,
I've been in and out of a bucket truck all day.
Sunburned, windburned, and tired of wrestling 60pound lights 40' in the air.

Her name
is Bobbi Starr:
If you know her name, I know where you've been you bad boy...
Actually, the only reason I found her was through a completely different search for someone else completely involving a sports team.
And no, it wasn't a certain "perky" news anchoress that she somewhat resembles.
I also note that it took me a while to find the right picture with clothes because there aren't that many of her that way....

That reminds me-
What's Tawana Brawley been up to lately? I wonder if Rev. Al is going to get down their to see what he can strong-arm from someone.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (970 WFLA) - Samantha Gilman, 21, was reported missing by her parents on May 29th after not returning home from a concert in downtown St. Pete the previous day. A media alert was issued regarding her disappearance and several news outlets covered the story.
Oh? She fessed up when cops showed her the video of her partying?
That's good, because Al probably wouldn't have showed up anyway..she doesn't sounfd black.

This is the last Weiner post I'm planning on making
As the poll showed, my readers know how Liberals will act, and can call it better than those self-same Liberals can about themselves.
Of all those new pics that are all over the intratubzz today I'm only going to make reference to one.
Did that shirtless pic get sent before or after Putin took his vacation?
And in closing out our odyssey into foreseen unforeseen results of a Liberals actions- the poll is closed with the unsurprising results of 41 votes broken down as
As always you can still vote in the original, but it won't count.

I wrote a letter last night to Amy of the Tea Party Express
I basically said what I did in my previous post- except I cleaned up my language.
This is her response:
Kurt,
I am sorry for the confusion over my comments, which have been now taken
totally out of context.
Last election cycle, Tea Party Express took on the establishment and worked
hard to send true conservatives to Washington. We challenged the Republican
party time and time again because we stood on principles and did not waiver.
We were not willing to accept any RINO or Obama-lite. We were no longer
going to accept what the Republican party was trying to shove down our
throats, even supporting Doug Hoffman in the New York special against the
liberal Republican. That will not change. No tea party group has taken on
the Republican establishment more than we have, and that will not change.
We are totally committed to tea party principles of smaller government, less
taxes, an end to deficit spending and free markets.
My point was in the interview that the "cream will rise to the top," meaning
that a true conservative will gain our support and we will work to defeat
Obama. I believe in this movement and the people of this movement. I feel
sure that once again, the tea party movement will work hard to send true
conservatives to Washington, just like we did in 2010. I don’t believe a
Republican can win without the strong support for the tea party movement.
So when I say that we will support the nominee, I mean that we will support
the nominee because he or she has won tea party support. I didn’t mean we
will accept whatever is thrown our way.
In 2012, we have to defeat Barack Obama. This country will not survive
another four years of his big government, socialist policies. Look at what
has happened in only 2.5 years when Obama knows he has a reelection in 2012.
Can you imagine another 4 years of him when there will be no reelection and
has nothing to lose? He is the worst President that this country has ever
had. We must remove him from the White House in 2012. We are now stuck
with Kagan and Sotomayer. If Obama wins and appoints more justices, we will have no chance of turning back the march to socialism.
By the time that we have a nominee, I think the movement will have already
spoken loud and clear and the nominee will have received the nomination with
the support of the movement. If the nominee does not have the support of
the movement, they cannot win the election. I have said that for months and
months now and I firmly believe that.
Last election cycle, TPX was kicked and abused because we got involved in
the primaries. We were told we needed to stay out of the primaries because
it was the politically incorrect thing to do. We jumped in anyway and will
be doing the same after the debate in September. We will be supporting the
best constitutional conservative in the field.
The bottom line is this...you need to fight like a dog now in order to
impact who the Republican nominee will be. The Tea Party Express national
bus tour starts on August 20th and we have invited the candidates for
president to give us their best shot on how to restore America to strength
and prosperity. It culminates in the Tea Party presidential debate on
September 12th in Tampa, Florida. I believe this process will start to
unify the tea party around the strongest conservative candidates.
I hope that I have answered your questions and addressed your concerns If
you have any other questions, please let me know. You can also call me if
you would like. My number is listed below. If you would like to send me
your number, I would be happy to call you as well.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Thanks again for your email. Have a good night!
Best,
Amy Kremer

I very rarly agree with anything Bill Maher has to say
but I have to agree to this:
"When it gets down to two people, the electorate always holds their nose and votes the one they like the least. The economy is in the toilet -- I, I, I think anybody could be president in this dumb, f**king country," Bill Maher said on his "Real Time" program.
Are you glad you helped, bill?
As a clarification, I meant that clueless voters would vote in anyone they were convinced to vote for.

This member of the Tea Party says NO- Amy Kremer
I will NOT vote their way if the Republicans put any of the losers from 2008 on my ballot.
Just who is Amy Kremer anyway? She says she's the official voice of the Tea Party, but no one asked my opinion. As a matter of fact, she sounds like the usual politicians we're getting tired of hearing from anyway.
Kremer told Fox News on Saturday, "whoever the Republican nominee is will have to have the support of the Tea Party movement, the entire Tea Party movement."
Kremer went on to say the Tea Party is "completely neutral," adding that it "just wants to see the cream rise to the top... If Romney is the nominee I believe that we want to defeat Barack Obama."
Her confidence comes while some Tea Partiers, including some at FreedomWorks, a leading voice in the Tea Party movement, set their sights on stopping a Romney nomination.
Kremer also wants to put to rest the idea the Tea Party would support a third party candidate, insisting the Tea Party can work from within the democratic and republican parties.
Amy, if the Democrats even suspected someone was a Tea Party member- they'd be tarred and feathered before they could dial 911.
I'm not neutral. I want a right wing conservative to win.
NO! Get me a conservative who can FIX this mess.
Oh, Amy- shit floats too.

- I don't want Rudy Giuliani (another east-coast "moderate" who lost to the RINO McCain)
- I don't want 'The Donald' (why is he even thinking about it- it's a step down)
- I don't want Ron Paul
NO! Get me a conservative who can FIX this mess.
