so you can get rid of this smug condescension about the "homeless" they have a 'foto-essay' about.
Because we have to be smug and superior when talking about the 'unfortunate', don't we?
Instead of calling them bums that want to live like this, we need to use that $250,000 English pop-culture taglines we learned in some Liberal Arts course in the 'humanities'.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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....

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."

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 somethingcomfortable 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
