A quonset hut could work, too

Since straw bales are out of the question (there aren't going to be any available till after harvest season).

 We could go with Penta treated old power poles in either cabin or timber frame option.
This one at CL would really be within the budget. Plus i wouldn't have to worry about load carrying supports.

Of course we have to see what kind of room we have under the oak trees first, and that'll have to wait until the tenant is out at the end of the month.

One more good thing about the land

I won't be trapped into just one way to work.
Or be trapped behind one clueless fuck in the hammer lane pacing the guy texting in the right lane...both going 50 in a 70 zone.

For 25 farging miles.

I have at least three different routes to and from work as holidays and time require.

Am I being to picky here?

The only thing I see wrong about this video-
Is the stupid, ugly Aquaflage suits they're making the crew wear.

At least let them wear something comfortable nautical, like Dungarees or even a working undress set of blues.

That Chris Christie thing is sure trying to grow legs, isn't it?

It's almost like he let four people die in an American consulate- or something.

Oh, wait- that's what these same  people tried to cover up- my bad.

The realtor go back to us

The reason it took so long was that it's an estate sale and all the family had to agree on our offer- $112k and mineral rights, with them paying the survey.

It doesn't look like much until you're there. Mrs Trainwereck wasn't impressed until she actually saw it.

Project Daniel Boone

As a reward for getting the land.

It's a Traditions .50 cal Kentucky rifle kit.

The implements of destruction-

Trigger group and firing assy. trimmed and fitted-

Ewwww... the back stock doesn't match up with the fore-stock very well-

MUCH better.
Now on to finish sanding, steel wool and stain.


...Oh and brine for the barrel

Everything old is new again

And this time, they're purposing chain shot (which never was good as anti-personnel rounds) as self defense rounds.

Because somehow splitting a light pistol round into three and dragging a net through the air makes it more of a man-stopper than a hollow point...or something.

Just watch how effective it is against a paper target without any backing;



I guess it's a lot more effective than throwing three fishing weights tied together...but I could do the same damage to the target.

This was originally up at Brocks, but I decided not to trash-up his comments with my take on this scam.

You'll notice that not one video shows the string-shot hitting ballistic gel. Probably because it has the same effectiveness as birdshot.

Here is the spokes-flac's reply when he asked about it:
"...We had them tested by a 3rd party industry leader and
confirmed ~12 to 14" penetrations on the fragments. Keep in mind that we are
not asking you to fully change your personal protection plan, WE recommend a
Smart Stack by loading your first 2 rounds as MI then your favorite Slug
then alternate your mag stack to insure high hit and the comfort of your
favorite slug. I know that our rounds will do the job and that we need to
prove it to you, so we are working on that."

So- I was going to ask if you used the shottie at 5 feet, but that doesn't even shoot a full slug ( it's more like a sabot ) to get that 12-14" penetration. Instead of a 2" self defense snubbie.
I'll sit back to see how good it is when all the cool kids are blogging about this new-and-improved super-killer bullet and the Dems in congress want to ban it.

Spot the non-Liberal

Or- Which is the RINO and which is the independent?

Now we're in a bidding war..

So, we're looking for land SE of Seguin (which is ESE of San Antonio) which is near the Eagle-ford oil patch.
Every property we've looked at with a well and septic has already been bought.
We found a propert (16 acres, septic and a questionable well with a stock tank) for an asking price of $125k. Our initial offer was $92K, the countered with $112K.

we were going to counter offer with $105, but found out that someone else has put a bid in without even seeing the land....

So we took the $112 and are waiting to see who gets to the owners first.

Of course the NSA is spying on congress

How else do you think they'd get the dirt to blackmail you into approving anything they wanted?

That's awful stupid for a Communist to ask a huge, secretive intelligence organization if it's spying on their leaders- that's what YOU want Bernie Sanders it's a feature of communism, not a bug.

AND- you got the same non-answer anyone with two brain cells would expect.

Not to jinx anything

But hope nobody get an offer in first.

We'll be putting one in Monday, and the tenant says there's a 10 pointer that disappears around deer season.

FED-UPS is just covering themselves with glory

I bought a set of bedrail covers and a set of stake pocket tie-downs on the same Christmas night.
Dec. 25 and Pay-pal went through on both of them - no problem.

I got the tie-downs Saturday- the 28th.
I got the tracking # for the bedrails on Dec. 26, but nothing on it- now I know why....

Because they didn't BOTHER to pick them up until Monday- Dec 30.
So much for my promised delivery date of Dec 31 at the latest, huh?

I'm just glad I didn't have to pay for shipping.......

UPDATE-
They were there this Saturday morning.
Almost 10 days after I ordered them with NO communication from anyone that they'd be late.

Happy New Year!

Boy, does someone have plans for this one-

Keeping the hope up....

Now we need one for the other two farging annoying skanks...lady gaga and Miley Cyrus.

Wherein the author causes Apoplexy in every Liberal that sees this posting.

Where we have a typical whitewash of immigration problems by the AP.

Like most U.S. towns, Watsonville has been formed by waves of immigrants, Croats, Portuguese, Filipinos and Japanese, each arriving with their own language, customs and cuisine. The current surge of Hispanics has brought a Latin American influence.

"For me, downtown Watsonville is like being in a small Mexican town," said Oscar Rios, who was Watsonville's first Latino mayor. "Everyone speaks Spanish. The restaurants are Mexican. It's got a very different feel than a traditional American town."

..... Today, 82 percent are either immigrants, or descendants of immigrants, mostly from Mexico but also elsewhere in Latin America.

Yeah, no shit- and probably half of them are illegal.

Nahara Villalobos, 17, who will be a senior at Watsonville High School this fall, is determined to move up, educationally and economically. Her parents immigrated to California from Mexico about 25 years ago. Her father works on a mushroom farm and her mother is a housewife, caring for Nahara's disabled older sister.

Although she was born in the U.S., Nahara didn't learn English well until she was 9, and to this day she acts as her family translator at doctor appointments, signing leases, filling out contracts and tax forms.

When her family moved onto an all-white block five years ago, it was Nahara who had to explain to her father that neighbors were asking if he was an ex-con, and her mother if she was the housecleaner.

"You wouldn't believe the way the neighbors treated us," she said

.

So- you're telling me that your parents and the rest of your family have been here for a QUARTER of a CENTURY, and haven't learned English yet.
Are they too stupid, lazy or just don't need to because Liberals are making it so Balkanized that they don't have to even talk to an Anglo/Gring if they don't want to.
An ex-con? I wonder what kind of tats he is wearing?

BUT, wait- something good is on the way....

Hurst said many residents appreciate the Latino influence. "I think a lot of people would like to put the differences of race on the back burners and focus more on economic opportunity and celebrate the diversity of cultures that exist," he said.

As generations pass, towns like Watsonville will become more Americanized, but at the same time some parts of Mexican culture are already weaving into the U.S. fabric, said University of California, Irvine sociologist Susan Brown.

She points to salsa, which long ago surpassed ketchup as the nation's leading condiment. And Brown said American icons like hot dogs and hamburgers are actually the legacy of a wave of more than 5 million German immigrants more than a century ago.

"This Mexican wave is a big group," said Brown, "but we forget that a huge, huge number of Germans came, and we've absorbed them."

maybe you Liberals can start putting race on the back burner because I'm getting tired of having it thrown in my face for everything.

But...GERMANS gave us hot dogs and hamburgers :-) ...They also buckled down and actively tried to become assimilated into America.

So, who's been in my servers memory?

You'd think the .GOV would at least leave me logged into my usual sites.
I gad to re-log in to every site that needs a password this morning.

SO- in that spirit NSA- my Christmas swag:

Ruger Security six in .357, S&W Bodyguard in .38+P but you already know about them -including the serial numbers. Then we have the Dremmel for making things fit on the one you don't know about.

For the fuck-sake DeeCee get out of our lives!

We don't need you fucking trying to tell a billion Dollar business how to take care of their customers.

Maybe you need to look closer to home trying to fix that $15 trillion well of red ink you've caused and leave Fe-UPS alone.

And yes, he is a Democrat.

A job well done

Merry Christmas to you all!

And don't celebrate too hard.

Who knows where the camera is?

A Christmas greeting from someone who understands

How I wish we had people like him in DeeCee.

Sleep tight

The jolly man and his helpers will be visiting tonight-

Blanket, wet...

THROW!

Just....WOW.....

So farging clueless on both sides of this article begging to be snarked.

About "Angry white men holding Hte iWON back.

"...US left’s difficulties reflect the faults of the people in the White House, the ferocity of their well-funded rightwing opposition, or some combination of the two."

Dude! That ferocity is from the RINOs who ball-up into a fetal position after some half-hearted attemt at dammage control and let you Liberals have their way in Congress.


" Activists and public intellectuals have provided a push from below – and from the bookstores. But Mr Obama has received relatively little assistance of this kind (Occupy Wall Street came and went, kids). There has been no Martin Luther King to his Lyndon Johnson, no John Maynard Keynes to his Franklin Roosevelt."

Keerist guy- you have the entire news media pulling for you . Pluss the entire Hollywood machine working on your side, how much more help do you think you need?


 "Kimmel’s starting point is a familiar one on the left. He believes that many downwardly mobile white men are rightfully angry but blame the wrong kinds of people (blacks, Jews, women and homosexuals) for their problems. To this, he adds a gender studies spin: Much of the white male anger stems from a failure to appreciate that feminism liberates men as well as women –"

And here we get them confusing Liberals with Conservatives, and not for the last time.


"Moreover, the deeper Kimmel goes into these hearts of darkness, the more likely he is to get lost. In a paragraph suggesting that both campus cultures and global media play a role in school shootings by angry boys, Kimmel’s sentences twist and turn so relentlessly that the reader is left bobbing in the stream of his consciousness, struggling for breath."

See what I mean about swapping Liberal and Conservative places? Conservatives on campus and in world media have some control???? SRSLY?

If nothing else

At least you can feast your eyes on the hotski in the green elf hat.

5 Guys Burgers

So we went to look at a plot of land (16 acres with a small house asking $125K) and we decided to stop into an over-hyped California burger joint so see what it was all about.

$25 for basically two meals.
Mc Donalds has better flavor than those burgers.
Karen mentioned that she could do better with Wally-World ingredients and I agree.

If I would have known then

That finding a DA revolver in .45 LC was either farging expensive or almost impossible, I would have gotten that Henry in .44 Mag.....

The gun control freak said:

"With the brisk sales of the weapon, Diaz said, “It’s not a question of if, it’s a question of when (there will be another mass killing). It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to think of even worse scenarios than Newtown.”


And the SeaBee said......... "Yeah, and it'll be one of yours that does it- again."

In this article about the AR platform.

Age test

Who here knows what this is?

I gave one to SiL when he went to San Diego for Basic.

Told him you probably won't need it to eat anymore, but it still can help time a ma-Deuce.
He asked "What's a ma-Deuce?"

I told him- "You'll find out ;-)"

Look at the racist!

Well....... We seem to have a new budget deal working it's way through CONgress

It's a bi-partisan bill that as usual screws people who had nothing to do with creating this mess.

Tell me Rep Ryan and Sen Murray............. How much is CONGRESS putting up to match the axe you're taking to military retirees?

Oh? you're going to curtail your "Lavish" self-portraits? Wow, talk about taking one for the team.
That's gotta hurt, but I'm sure you can manage with your $125,000 yearly retirement and free crap you've voted yourselves.

The more I hear about the 0bamakare website....

The more I'm sure there are people who deserve this website.

I seriously doubt that normal Americans who know how to actually comparison shop will be logging on to that bloated, slow and identity-theft inviting site.

I really don't feel sorry that the same people who got 0bama re-elected are going to suffer site failures, f&cked-up paperwork and the rampant identity theft that's just one distraction away from hitting it big in the MSM.

Ok, go ahead and call me a h8-er, Bill Clinton let me know that it was ok as long as you didn't care about who was going after you without teeth.
