So I did the week-end thing today

Payed bills
Got gas.

Can you imagine what it'll look like next week when those muslim riots affects oil flow?









Did the weeks shopping -including dog food when I came on this in Wally-World-



This in a town of about 3,000 with three feed and gain outlets already.


Because every WallMartian has a flock of chickens in the back shed....

A kind of catchy tune

Via Flares

Been breaking stuff all day

We're in a part of base that hasn't had any utilities upgraded lately.
-as in about the last twenty-thirty years...lately.

So yesterday I start from where CPS starts the high wire to the bases system.
I get there and don't see any paint on the ground...BUT I do see a fire hydrant (that I know isn't feeding it's self), a pavement cut for a sewer main, and a drain box (with drain tile crossing my path).

I found a 36" concrete drain culvert that I had to dig under, a 6" cast water line that was almost too close to the culvert to get my bucket past,  the sand and tape for the sanitary sewer, and when I thought I was in the clear another storm drain running almost parallel with my trench.

All in all, it took about 5 hours to go about 120 feet.


Today I was scraping up San Antonio river rock at about 28" and smelling their old spilled diesel that they paved over decades ago.
I'm kind of surprised we didn't have the enviro-weinies out in their hazmat suits trying to make us bag some 300 yards of contaminated dirt.

Then I got into the old utilities---- In cobble rock (potatoes), unmarked and clay pipe. 
Two were abandoned and we're fixing the other one this Sat.

Anyone free this week-end?

Priorities, everyone has them

For some it means going into work to try nipping a crisis in the bud.

For others it means staying on the phone while others are doing what they can to cut the fuse.

Last time something bad happened, both candidates went back to DeeCee and put on their official 'I'm a Senator' hat and looked like they were trying to *do something!*

This time around the leader of the free world and head cheerleader of the "Arab Spring" just can't be bothered with an act of war, arson and assassination to put a hold on his fundraising.
-And I'm not even going into that apology...

No ice cream for you!

The brain trust that is 2/3 of our overpaid laborers (the other one didn't show up again) spent all day with a jet-vac trying to find a buried phone line that I could have found in half an hour with a tea spoon.
They were looking for a line that was going into an OPEN pull box, but were pot-holing where the orange paint was - Because they were too stupid to look inside the OPEN box to see where it was.

Sheriff Joe is handing out the love in Ohio

Making friends and influencing people everywhere he goes:

If 'no human being is illegal'

how can monkeys be?
I mean doesn't that hurt their feelings and we should be calling them undocumented monkeys...or something?

Good morning!

 It's a very pleasant 60 degrees out on the front porch.

The neighborhood dogs have been in a celebratory mood since about 5 AM, and the neighbor right next door has a dog who's been barking all night.

This caught my attention on the way home from work

I took a back way from work to avoid a crappy interchange onto HWY 90.

Hollar if this name has any significance to you-

Willy Wonka's words of wisdom

When you forget history

there will aiways be fack-checkers:

Which goes to re-enforce the Liberal views of America

This video shows just how the Left has taken over the Democrat party.

I'm surprised that God wasn't booed this time.
Next time He probably will be

I'm not watching much Tee Wee

and right now I'm watching a repeat of season 1: episode 13- "the Color of War' on Netflix.

They are now getting to the Berlin Airlift.

Does anyone reading this think that America has the balls anymore-to tell anyone 'f*ck you, we're going to make this work' anymore?

i really don't think we do on a national .GOV level.

One more seat

Because we were off yesterday.

This chair is shovel-ready!

Saturday -Sept 01:

I just bought a new battery for the S-10

Since when does a regular lead-acid battery- for a small V-6 cost on the plus side of $100?

It's just a farging car battery, and not even a marine battery.

Has the 0bama administration gotten so intrusive with the EPA and regulations that they tripled the cost of a 690 Amp battery in three years?

How did the people at Instagram not know

About "Rule 34"?

Or at least that anything in Al Gores intratoobz will somehow become  a pr()n magnet when it gets popular?

But that's ok, because Mark Zuckerberg and his crew at FB will be sure to disable all things that make a site interesting.

The Second Commandment

Thou shalt make no graven image before me...

Yeah, well Democrats only think of the Lord when they can use him to get over on other people...

And as for worshiping their Boy King....

NEVER MIND
What was that about the wrath of God?

The Anti-Midas strikes again.

Cast out first the beam out of thine own eye

Before removing the mote from thy brothers.


So we learned last week that the State Dept. has a Chief Diversity officer- or something.
He doesn't like some of our common phrases-
Hold down the fort
Going dutch

and
Rule of thumb- which he got wrong because he's (probably) a Lib.
The rule of thumb was either estimating whatever they called a yard back then, OR an inch (the length of the last joint)

But being a Liberal, he want's everyone else to give up their common phraseology to go with something even less specific and longer to say.

BTW Chief..............isn't YOUR title kind of demeaning to  our Indio-American Amerinds?

Why are we still wasting our tax dollars on the TSA?

The hugely intrusive and bungling bureaucracy that hasn't stopped a terrorist in over ten years now can't tell if a passport was expired a year ago.

An American passport.  (caution, video auto starts when you get there)

And we're paying HOW much for these people?
AND they want to expand into every part of our lives????

Oh, the poor little house Tribble

She's some kind of short faced long-haired cat...Persian- I guess.

She has doubled her weight from the time she was rescued and now looks like a fat raccoon without the striped tail.
I made deep fried gizzards tonight- almost as good as *Chester's Golden Fried* but available after 11AM.

The dogs got some and so did the littlest dog.

Poor Stompy could only smell because she can't (or doesn't know how to) eat anything that's not processed into little stars or fish shapes.

Dear New Orleans

It looks like Isaac is going to visit you.
So I have to say in all sincerity 'Go f*ck yourselves."

I'm STILL tired of hearing about N`awlins and how G.W. Bush hated black people and your whining about hoew we...America somehow OWES you something, and that it's our responsibility to take care of grown adults every want.

I hope your chocolate Jeezus does what you want him to do, but a lot has changed since the last time: You have a Republican Governor and a Republican Mayor who will do what they can to actually HELP you--instead of waiting for days to declare an emergency so that FEMA is late and the president looks bad.

To steal an expression from Leeann

...And not a f*ck was given all day. (On that end of the trench...)

Leeann

So, please elaborate WaPo

as to just *how* this electric company will be able to control my A/C without shutting off my oven.

Because at my house BOTH are on the same 220V lines.

...Or do you have some super sekrit way of telling my A/C  to stop working and leave everything else on?


Yeah- I didn't think so- because I have STUPID appliances that are too old to join Big Brother in the pursuit of .GOV controlling every aspect of my life.

BUT don't worry citizen, only the scoff-laws will  be affected!

Hurricane Isaac on track to N'awlins?

This ought to be interesting.

Now we'll be able to see just how well a 'chocolate' president can take care of a 'chocolate' city.

Because, naturally a Democrat will be sure to make FEMA perform miracles for the .GOV dependents who reside on the dole and depend on Democrats to take care of their every need.

Good thing 0bama doesn't hate blacks.

Can't he just use his godlike powers to like....reduce the rise of the oceans until Isaac is done?

Happy National Dog Day

Yes they have a site and everything.

Ya know, I shouldn't be saying this-

Because it might make some Lib question my racist attitude...

I'd really like to have a couple beers with AlphonZO Rachel.

Replace your divot!

Mr. president-

He looks like hes someone trying too hard to be cool for the press corpse, doesnt he?

So, riddle me this...

If everyone who doesn't worship the ground the Boy-King walks on is racist.

...why is it that before the slut eruptions- Herman Cain was doing so well in the racist Republican primaries?

AND, since he quit, where are all the WHITE women accusing him of sexual...whatever?
