Happy Thanksgiving

As you stuff yourselves full of turkey and all the fixin’s, remember that my people will get their vengeance for the crimes perpetrated upon us by the paleface.

Weekend OC is up. I thought I had it scheduled to be up already, so I slept in.

Oh and thinking about the Swiss and if you disagree with this statement: ” I think this is the only case in history where a national leader ordered the general population to arm themselves with a specific firearm.”
Read it carefully.

Well it looks like King Nicolas of Montenegro was a fan of the second amendment. What is a Montenegrin revolver? Basically it is a large-frame double action revolver chambered for the 11.25x36mm cartridge. These guns were made in Austria, Belgium and Spain. Oddly, none were made in Montenegro. The reason they became associated with Montenegro is that the king of that country ordered his citizens to own these revolvers. I think this is the only case in history where a national leader ordered the general population to arm themselves with a specific firearm. “Every male citizen of Montenegro is a… Read more »

Morning, Hamsters. I overslept but looks like everyone else did too. I woke to a light drizzle but the weather radar shows the real rain currently passing me by to the west. Bones should be getting pounded if he’s at home in Copperfield. The hour-by-hour forecast for my zip code says I am 95% precip during the noon hour. My plan for today: take down and pack away the orange decorations around the fireplace, and bring down some Christmas boxes. Oh, and eat more tasty turkey leftovers. Plus we still have half a pecan pie. Woohoo, life in the USA… Read more »

Well, I finally have a chance to pop in. I had to share a story from Thanksgiving. Normally, those of us who go to my eldest sister’s house partake in a post prandial game of Pictionary, but there just weren’t that many of us this year. Eldest and her hubby pulled out their Wii and we set up my Aunt C and my father in their Wii system. Aunt C is one of those most wonderful and entertaining favorite aunts, elderly now, but always a fluttery type of personality and just cute as a button and funny as all get-out.… Read more »

#120 mharper42 Heh You are kidding right? Welcome to the CHoF? I created the thing and was the first inductee. The vote was unanimous too. There is a three mile no Santa zone around my house. Kids that live in that 3 miles have to go to grandma’s house just to see what a Christmas tree looks like. All holiday television shows are blacked out in my 3 mile zone. The ice cream guy has to sneak into my neighborhood for fear of attracting my disdain. The last guy I caught was 23 years old and is now retired, drooling… Read more »

(And besides, I buy sliced ham and turkey so we get the meat we like and no bones.)

I got to spend the day with Heart and Head Crusher today, first we had breakfast tacos for breakfast, then we played Monopoly (Heartcrusher won again) then we went shooting, both kids shot well but not as well as ol papa, then we topped off the day by eating thick rib eye steaks with broccolli and brussels sprouts followed by peach pie. Heart crusher is on her way back to Austin (St Edwards on a wissin ACADEMIC SCHOLARSHIP!) and Headcrusher is back at his house with his mom. A great time was had by all; Life is really good

spiking the ball on me with turkey leftovers

Sorry, Tim, but the truth is we are having some great little ham and turkey sammichs today. I bought some “snowflake rolls” that just weren’t the right yeasty texture for being hot and buttered. But they’re great sliced lengthwise like slider buns, and make half-sized sammichs.

That we leave our real dogs outside while that rodent could run around inside magnifies the annoyance considerably. To his credit, her husband was not amused either. One of those mole hills not worth making a mountain of I reckon.

In cash-strapped Washington, President Obama’s $1 trillion health care law is presenting a tempting target for lawmakers seeking funds for other projects, as Congress last week raided the health care piggy bank for the third time in less than a year.

Well, no war zone this year. The despised one stayed away again, no early huffy departures, no heirloom glasses or whatnot broken or thrown, nothing ablaze, not even a smoke alarm set off. The only glitch was the wife’s niece’s designer dog. She married well and as if the never less than a year old Mercedes SUV does not make the point she tops it off with this Paris Hilton dog. She was showing the tricks she taught it (and a few it has learned on its own, like jumping on chairs to reach the table). If I had to… Read more »

Well the wife has spent all afternoon cleaning up the room across the hall, I got sucked into this tar ball and have been removing window curtain hardware, the trim around the fireplace and the door knob/lock/plate. Cover me, I’m going back in. 😉
BTW: Have you ever pulled 12 penny nails (1960’s) out of a door facing that was cut/installed in 1854? The 1/2″ pine board and the ancient 4X4 under are it tough! Hard as a rock.

James Delingpole of the London Telegraph has spent the week poring over the 5,000 new East Anglia Climategate files released anonymously on a Russian server. His Wall Street Journal article yesterday is behind the paywall, but he did post this at Richochet.com: The IPCC, in turn, is the organization on whose doomy prognostications of man-made climate disaster our political leaders base their policy. So when Obama pours billions of your tax dollars into failed clean-tech companies like Solyndra, when you are banned from using the kind of lightbulbs that actually illuminate a room rather than merely flicker and give you… Read more »

Well I repaired the little “Crystal Parlor Lamp”, I replaced the socket/switch with a more modern one, I replaced the fabric covered cord years ago. We don’t know how old it is but it was made originally for electricity prolly 1930’s. My sister said it’s real crystal but not worth much because it a no-name. We have some interesting lamps that my sister (antique dealer) and my wife came up with. One is a neat brass porcelain one that was converted, years ago to electricity. It has a frilly shade that looks like one that might be in the ranch… Read more »
