One of the nice things about being retired

 Even if it came about abruptly- is that when it's cold, wet, windy and crappy, I don't have to leave my nice warm dry house.

Every day since I made the decision, I've done something on my To Do list.
I screwed up my shoulder again fixing a divider fence and tightening 700 of barb-wire... So that's another reason for taking it easy today.

Happy birthday JMB

 

Your Monday Rule 5 puzzle for Jan. 23

She likes breaking rules...

The big one below the fold~

This is a little dated

 But it shows the difference in how some people think.

I live about 40 minutes east of San Antonio. About 2- 3 hours west of Houston. Except for the remnants of a hurricane hitting the coast, or maybe  some freak wildfire catching my stand of Post Oaks on fire- I don't really have any weather related worries.

I've still probably got two months of food, propane and well water. The trucks hardly ever get below 1/2 tank. The only thing I'm worried about running out of is booze.

So I have a hard time relating to people who live where they chance getting snowed in for weeks- and knowing that- who don't stock up.

Even if their town "shudders to a halt" because of heavy snow.

-State and county plows don't buy their diesel from gas stations- they have their own tanks.
-I bet they vote Democrat.

Just out of curiosity

 Mine- because the propaganda wing of the Democrat party isn't interested....

WHO gave Biden the okay to take all those secret documents he lat his ChiCom handlers copy?

Lets go fucking Brandon

 Yesterday at this same HEB station it was $2.31.
38 cents in one day.

I guess the oil reserve is dry now and he's pissed off the Saudis, so we can enjoy our preview of the Soviet Stated of America.

Fucking asshole.

That wasn't as painful as I thought it would be

 Brought some paperwork to finalize my Social Security retirement paperwork. Out in about half an hour.

I decided to just retire instead of looking for another job. I was hoping to get a little more set up before I took that step, but because of a repeated injury I'm no longer working for that company.

This year is going to suck because we made some $30K when we finally unloaded the mobile home in Hondo- and it wasn't out primary home...

The big one below the fold as usual~

Bullshit Dan Crenshaw

You're too much of a politician to just make a "metaphor" like that on accident.
Your an Establishment Republican just like Cornyn in the Senate.

I figured an ex-SEAL would be able to go against the Establishment, but being an Officer for 10 years made you just another box checker. Swayed by the DeeCee opinions instead of your constituents.

Democrats-

 The party of complete corruption.
And paid-off judges.

The party that hands out ballots to illegals and refuses to let anyone know who they are.
So they can keep turning out voting system into a 3rd world Socialist paradise.

She seems to have lived a sheltered life...

 Liberals have absolutely no sense of humor.

PETArds are even worse responding to a joke from James Cameron about dolphins (the mammal, not the fish).

Say the line again- FBI

About the Colorado nightclub shooter. 

I'm going to start referring to 0biden as

Aqualung....

So I was fabbing up some mounts for fog lamps-

 

And needed to tap some holes.

I have the taps, but not the holder- because as little as I use them, it's not worth paying for.

I couldn't find a small enough adjustable wrench to hold the tap, so I used a Vice-grips. But it kept snapping off when it started to dig in.

 

So I went to the welding box because I was sure I had that good black 8" wrench in there. Nope.

But I did see my gauge wrench that might work.

 

 

Daym Skippy!

 

I probably need to harden it before I use it again, though....

Your big one, as usual below the fold-

Our favorite opera singer is back

This time she's geeking out over the score of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly".

$8.80

 For a Bill Miller #7.
At another McJoint you'd pay that for a dried-up patty on a bun and they'd call it a large- instead of a normal serving.
