And now for something you really want to see

Via Greg-

We have always curvacious Kate Upton involved in a swimsuit shoot weightless......

But you already clicked, didn't you?

A sample conversation at work today

We're drilling piers for an HEB expansion downtown San Antonio.
The specs call for 22' deep in fill. 18' in broken rock or 3' into any bedrock we find above that.

Me (on my perch on the drill rig)- I hit rock, but it's not very hard."

Terracon QC guy-  "How hard is it?"
Me- "not George Thorogood hard."

Terracon-"More like Michael Bolton?"
Me- "More like the Bangles."

Terracon- "Ok, that'll work, go another three feet."

Henry rifle update

Ok, so I got to sight it in, and at the bosses ranch.

I parked the truck about 40 yards from a good backstop and tried it out.
With stock front sights and a 'bolt-on' Williams receiver peep-site, we were about 4'' low.

Adjusted them higher and were about 4" of the "sighting mark" on the aluminum sheet metal target.

Went back to work and by the time I had time again, the range was full of cattle :-(

Anyway- if anyone else has a Henry - Does any of your casings sho just one side that has a large carbon..."footprint"?
I'm noticing on mine that it has a definite out-gassing in the firing chamber, and was wondering if I got a bad gun, or it's normal until it's broken in?


So far it's had about 20 rounds through it.

BUT,,, on the good side of things-

At least I'll be able to walk those new peep sites in on the Henry tomorrow.
I left boss with my keys to the rock saw and he took them home with him today (Sunday) so I'm going to the ranch and waiting for something to do until I get my (official) keys back.

So- I have a new Henry, a box of ammo- about an hour of paid time while waiting on my keys and paid to shoot.
That's one benny of the job:-)
AND when he gets out there, he'll probably want to give it a try.

20 hours in two days

And the bosses cows now have water!

I guess it's cheaper to run 1500' of 2" water line from the water meter than drill a well right next to the stock pens.
Kinda interesting to have a millionaire acting as a spotter and the two kids putting pipe together. 

He just shook his head when I rolled up for the last talk before leaving playing this :-D

Now, a little religion

Nehemiah 4:17
Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a weapon.

Sorry for the lack of content,,,,, so BOOBIES!

...And something you don't see anymore on hte Intratoobzz:

Really h4xers?

A DOS attack on Y/mail?
At least that's what the overload would be from, right?

Because it's a private entity that doesn't rely on unresponsive, incapable cronies to be put together at a cost of over $500 billion in three years.

In other terms...

Terrorists.

Right Eric Holder?
Valarie Jarrett?
Barack Hussein 0bama?

I do not like this Sam-I-Am

I do not like this near the house.
I do not like this with a mouse.
I would not like it with a pill.
I do not like it near my drill.

I do not your little wench.
I do not like your unfilled trench.

Please just let me leave.
I do not like it near your eave....

It's almost ours!

Just some shingled survey lines to straighten out and a neighbors affidavit that there has never been any drilling and we're good to go with 100% mineral rights, too!

The inner (non ag exempt 1/2 acre) compound ready for a new house..with friendly escort :-)


And the outer acreage with wild life (including copperheads :-s) and a welcoming committee.

Good Morning!

All four of us want to help you get started this Monday :-)

This made my brain hurt just watching it

F&cking just back up driver.
SRSLY! It's a lot easier than explaining what you just did to the truck, trailer and road.

But,,, Wasn't that what Social Security was for?

Before you and the rest of the "People who Know better" stole everything out of AlBores "Lockbox".

Now president Anti-Midas is proposing another retirement scam where the same people who bankrupted SocSec, the postal system, Medicare and everything else they've touched...are in charge.

But to answer Fox's question- yes it will get bi-partisan support because the Clueless party will walk right into another obvious trap where they'll get the blame for the Democrats actions..........again.

Games starting Sunday

Got beer?
Got beer holder?

What is wrong with this picture?

...And I bet the guy was tweeting about the crappy battery the whole time...

Just a little something to remember

Not that a lot of you are out playing on diesel engins without a mechanic on call-out.

But if you ever need to change a fuel filter and don't have a wrench, a tie-down strap would work, too.

Expecting to see rioting in three...two...

On-....! Oh! Wait!
That was the Israeli Embassy, not some Islamic mosque they sent the pig heads to.

Ok, nothing to see here. Nothing will happen.
No riots
No charges.
No anti-muslim persicution (or whatever they claim).

Mom dogs VS cat moms

THIS is What Makes Dogs and Cats so Different.  Don't Miss the Ending!  Hilarious! from iluvanimals on GodTube.


Hmmmm..........
I guess "Someone" is trying to tell us something when an embed from a G0D site won't render on  the g00gle area.....

Del Rio, TX

Seems to be an awful busy little town.

Don't know if it's from the oil patch, drug runners or the .GOV supplies needed to PROTECT YOUR SECURITY- Citizen. Now shut-up about overbearing government and BTW Suzanne has the bad hind of herpes, not that we'd have any way of knowing that....

Any questions?
Yeah, I didn't think so, because you're real people who don't really give a sh1t about dancing monkeys.

An interaction at Wally-world today

The cashier asked the guy in front (think Jack Elam at about 6'8") if he wanted a bag for the blanket and two pillows-
HE said "No thank you, I can handle them."
Her-"Are you sure, they're kind of bulky?"
HE "No, really it's ok."
Her- "But..."

ME- "He doesn't want to choke any fish."
Him" BWahahaha..."
Her- "Huh? He's not buying fish..???"
HE (explaining bags blowing into streams and greenies trying to ban them)
Her- "Oh, now I get it. nobody ever explained why plastic was bad.... I feel kinda dumb right now."

I am Chewbacca

Which Star Wars character are you?

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.
