The shooter on the "grassy knoll"
I wish I could wait on firing the money canon, but the Dakota- being a Dodge decided that now was the time it wanted a $260 battery... or a battery AND alternator.
I already spent too much back in Feb. when gas was going through the roof and EVERYBODY was looking for smaller trucks.
Plus it's a Dodge, so I knew it was going to need new front end parts... Then a differential....
But....
The big puzzle below the fold
2017 Sierra 2500.
Or this F-250 ...Which won't be that hard because of what I think about Fords.
I really like my Silverado but it's showing it's age- and it's a damage magnet.
Of all the damage it had done to it, I only did two hickies. The rest were added by second parties, including getting rear0ebded twice,
There are many different species of oaks, but they are basically divided into White Oaks and Red oaks.
Red Oaks have more varieties than White oaks.
Red Oak acorns need stratification, but White oaks don't.
Post Oaks are White Oaks, so I can directly plant the acorns that dropped into planters and set them out on the porch.
Oak trees are hardy and don't need special care once germinated as long as you don't damage the roots in replanting.
I am going to start acorns in foot long bags on the porch and hopefully enough will survive to be planted to make path from our island of oaks to the forest that we are separated from- about 150 yards.
Just so you know, if you type in Halloween gun bunnies- you get these results...
But the big one below the fold!
Fine.
I can use a credit card on E-bay or anywhere else that uses you.
Because when your PR nightmare -that you lied about- died down, you went ant decided you were going to censor people for wrongthink.... AGAIN!
Here's how to do it-
You can't close your account if there are limitations, unresolved issues, or a balance. Here's how to close your PayPal account:
Question for anyone who knows tanks- At about 2:47, are those main guns supposed to be flopping around like that, a Russian tank thing?
I First got into Dr. Who during homeports in Gulfport in the mid '80s and watched him whenever I could after that and I followed the new Who every week. and every special.
I quit watching about the time the Italian guy became the Dr.
I knew the chick was going to finish ruining Dr. Who -and The Critical Drinker takes the (modern) show to the wood shed and beats it like a red headed stepchild.
Kinda got a Jamie Lee Curtis look going on a little.

The big one, as usual below the fold~
I wonder what happened.
Is WordPress censoring now, too?
But The Intrepid Reporter found another site.
About the Russian conscripts surrendering in droves and an inside listen to Russians on the phone telling about the Ukrainian advances. -Lots of swearing-
The head of the FBI will stand up somewhere and read all they have on Hunter Biden, then say nobody would prosecute him, so they're dropping the investigation and that's the end of it.
Right James Comey?
Right Hillary! ?
Why would FB think I wanted more information on that solar company?
Or the Shysters wanting me to sue a plant killer?
Or the scam artists who want me to sue someone because of the water at Camp LeJune?
I don't know what's going on with Blogger.

I'm even having trouble betting to my blog.
BUT the Rule 5-izm must go on...
And I'm still trying to figure out.
I'm in the process of putting in a new panel box- with a new meter to replace the 75 year old panel box that was feeding a mixture of knob and tube wireing and ancient fabric Romex.
It's basically a completely separate circuit except where it gets fed from the transformer. I ran a new line to the 220V well pump and put in the double pole breaker -It's a GE instead of the Square D the other one is- I accidentally put that breaker on the same phase (GE is different than Square D) and came in the house.
The kitchen lights and everything on that circuit didn't work- until they wanted to. I KNOW I didn't touch that breaker, and everything looks good.
Then the wife said we didn't have water-- which is when I found out about not having the pump on two different phases. I moved it and now EVERYTHING works like it's supposed to.
HOW did sending two of the same phase to my well pump affect one circuit on a completely different panel box- with different feed (old one is #4 triplex overhead) into it?
San Antonio and Austin.
Which means that maybe by Nov. 8 gas (not diesel) will be somewhere around where it was when 0biden took office.
Then after Nov. 8, gas will be free to go up as much as it wants because the election is done and the SFR will be almost empty.
You reupped for PWD Rota, Spain in the mid 80's.
Herman's (The German) Schnitzel haus right on the playa.
Bennies bar, Zepplins the Sangria Shack....
You're living on the economy and Shorties(best fried rice I've had at 3AM and breakfast on leftovers at 0500) is about two blocks from your place....
Dependents (wives, chicks), female sailors and expats all have the run of the base...
Gawd, I loved Rota.
I'm sure you Army guys and AF have some base like this....
For outraging SJWs?
Because it's somehow GBLTQ-phobic...or sumpin.Maybe they tried, but Aerosmith told them to pound sand?
But first, your Monday Rule 5 puzzle.
Yeah, it's a jumble, kinda like the weekend was.
Borrowed the neighbors backhoe about two weeks ago (or three?) got the trench from the new meter to the house dug and threw the conduit in and started covering it up before the sky opened up on and off for the rest of the week- when I found that forgot how shallow I buried the animal water line and electric.
Then, when I got close to the house, I found a tee from the main water from the well to the house *fuck!*
Yesterday I got everything else for the run- and 100' of 1/2" PEX to replace the bent and expose old water line.
$500 for 210" of #2 stranded and #4 ground.
So I got everything dug up (without hitting the conduit) and reburied and reconnected.
Animal water -good
Outside electric (and internet by the fence)- done and coming out of the new main box.
GVEC came in and hung a new meter box and complete 150 amp panel when I just asked for a new meter and main cut-off for $350 because we already have a house.
Then I found out we had no water. Fuck!
Looked at the pressure switch and no spark when I moved the contacts. Walk 100 yds to the shed for the Fluke and find out I have no power in... sometimes
So back to the hole that's still open for the fiber installer to see what's down there and see a break in the insulation of the underground romex. It was hot but corroded. HMMmm one reason for the bad phase leg....
Cut it and tied the two legs together and rang it out at the switch..... nothing. CRAP! Now I have to run a new power wire out to the well for domestic water.
This time it'll be in conduit and buried more than six inches deep..... Next weekend because I'm working for the rest of the week.
Anyway-
The puzzle you want is below the fold
Showing off her new Henry steel side gate rifle.
The big one below the fold
*Have yo ever heard of Indianola?*
"IIRR- it was wiped out by a hurricane over 100 years ago."
"Why?"
So she comes up- she's been reading the history of Seguin, TX and I guess a lot of survivors migrated from there and apparently Indianola is a thriving tourist trap now, and she wanted to know if I'd want to visit..... or move there.
"Last time I was there (about 20 years ago) it had one badly maintained two lane road and all the sewer manholes in the entire county were towers about 5' high."
*Why so high?*
"Because that's how high tidal surges get normally. It floods a lot."
*What about going out on a boat deep sea fishing?*
"I'll pay for you to go if you want."
*Why won't you go with me?*
"I get sea sick."
*You were in the Navy....?...*
"I was a SeaBee"
*That's part of the Navy.*
"Seabees don't go on ships."
*We've been married all this time and you never said anything about that."
"I was a Dirt Sailor."
*BWAHAhahahahaha*
*I've never heard that before*
That's one reason this tat doesn't have fouled anchors or cannons and my green field jacket says Navy on the tape and a Seabee patch on the pocket.
Abe Lincoln tried to save the Union by using one half to attack the other hal..................
OMG! You are like Lincoln.
The Leftists locked the country down for almost two years for an airborne respiratory virus.
Everything and (almost) everyone.
It had the force of law and people were fined and arrested for breaking curfew.
They tried to force a questionable vaxx on the entire country with almost no exceptions- medical or religious.
Now the newest thing down the pike to pie elections id Monkeypox.
Which for some reason is RACIST!!! ....because monkeys- or sumpin.
But nobody is doing anything to stop the spread because doing so would be homophobic, and we need to let them do their thing and not be so harsh about slowing the spread.
Oh! And it's spread through bodily fluids and open sores, so be sure to wear a mask.
