TGIF!!
I didn’t think Friday would ever get here.
Mornin’ Gang -
Holy shrinkage Batman, there’s ice all over everything! Is this karma? I promise I won’t ever make fun of people living in New Jersey again!
-
I didn’t think Friday would ever get here.
Not me. These days go by like Justin Bieber in a Lamborghini.
-
What’s a “Justin Bieber”?
-
32 Degrees and drizzling in here Clear Lake, pellets of ice all over the deck and on my truck. No icy
roadsbridges though. -
Doors to my truck iced shut but no ice on the roads on my 1/2 mile commute to work.

James Coney. Full Menu
Despite my chili / not chili ranting yesterday, I do have to admit I like me some JCI.
On another note, since them meaty urologists said everything should be closed down today, y’all can catch up on your Trailer Park Boys viewing on Netflix whilst I work. -
“Goats love it and people driving by can’t believe it,” says David Johnson of Findlay, Ill., about his 31-ft. tall, 7-ft. dia. “goat tower” built with the help of the late Jack Cloe, Herrick, Ill. The tower was constructed with 5,000 hand-made bricks, each one a different size and shape. The tower has 276 concrete steps, arranged to form a spiral staircase, that allows Johnson’s goats to climb up and down with ease.
Johnson has 34 Saanen milk goats that use the tower. “Goats are the most curious animals in the world so they use the tower a lot. They come and go, passing each other on the ramp as needed.”
The roof is supported by wheels that ride on a circular steel rail along the upper edge of the tower wall. “I cut a door into the roof and plan to use a garage door opener to rotate the roof and use it as an observation tower. I might even bring a telescope up there to look at stars,” says Johnson. -
2016 Republican presidential nominee campaign ad:
It’s 3am and your children are safe and asleep. But there’s a phone in the White House and it’s ringing. Something’s happening in the world. Your vote will decide who answers that call. Whether it’s someone who already knows the world’s leaders, knows the military, someone tested and ready to lead in a dangerous world. It’s 3am and your children are safe and asleep. Who do you want answering the phone? Let’s ask Ambassador Chris Stevens, at this point, if it even matters. -
James Coney Chili Sauce? Does that say sauce? Why yes it does.
Throw down James Coney Island on me. Ha!! Chili sauce = Hotdog Sauce.
Chili w/o beans is at best hot dog sauce.
The battle rages on -
We didn’t have these silly chili wars in Cracker Land. With beans. Without beans. Eat it how you want. But where do the best oysters come from? Any self-respecting Cracker will tell you Apalachicola Bay.
But if you want to go back to the basics, to the roots of chili-making, you cannot add tomatoes. That just makes it Texas spaghetti sauce. -
The beauty of chili to me is that it’s really a state of mind. It’s what you want when you make it. You can put anything in there you want, make it hot or mild, any blend of spices you feel like at the time. You make it up to suit your mood. – Carroll Shelby

At last, a note of sanity in the Great Chili War. (Wolf brand hot for me, please, and beans on the side.) -
Morning, Hamsterville, stay warm today!
Goats do like to climb. The spring picnic on the Schlumberger campus in Sugar Land always included a petting zoo. One year the enclosure for the critters was set up so it was surrounding an old oak with low, recumbent branches. The miniature goats were all up in the tree. -
#15 Hamous
Shelby’s quote is the culinary equivalent of moral relativism. -
Good icy morning Hamsters. Ice layer covers everything above ground out here this morning, crunchy grass, icicles hang off fence rails, temperature has been flirting with 29 for a couple of hours and finally made it.
The rural garbage service arrived at the usual time; we can practically set a watch by their appearance about 6:45 on Friday mornings. Today especially I feel sorry for the man who rides on the back of the truck and hope he has numerous opportunities to ride inside for a bit on nasty mornings like this. We send a Christmas card and thank you gift and arrange for the owner to give to them every year. It must be received because the lids are put back on the carts when it’s rainy, and the carts are usually parked pretty much where they were when set out. 🙂 -
A great day to be retired at home, not out driving on icy roads. There are some small icicles visible hanging from ligustrum leaves near the house. Otherwise I don’t see much accumulation on anything. We lost a 50′ pine tree in an ice storm ~15 years ago when ice built up in the needles at the top of the tree. The frozen canopy eventually started leaning over until the lopsided weight finally snapped the trunk about 20 feet up. It was disheartening to watch helplessly as the tree was destroyed that day.
-
Not retired but have chosen to work from home today. It’s almost an hour drive to work on a good day and today it’s just not worth the risk. Everything I do at the office I can do right here. Evverything iced up except the vehicle under the car park. Was up in the night and it was still raining at 0200, not a lot of rain but my rain gauge is frozen solid. Help us Al Gore.

I saw a squirrel outside the office window this morning, his bushy tail curled over his back in a question mark. He faced south, away from the wind, and slowly (for a squirrel) chewed on a piece of bark held between his hands. It looked like he knew he had a big day of nothing ahead of him, and was in no hurry to not get started. The branches of the stand of clumping bamboo outside of the other window are hanging low. If bamboo could look sad, then ours has lost a good friend. Barf Kitty was meowing plaintively at me this morning, but she had found a nice warm spot on the floor, which we turned on last night, and didn’t want to move. Hubby took his time heading out. He won’t be doing plumbing work today, so his helper is taking the day off. Hubby watched TV and worked through his mound of paperwork, accumulated from many days of trying to ignore the stack. Finally, he got a jug of warm water for his windshield and headed out to work on our rental unit, which needs a lot of renovation.
It looks like a slow start for everyone today. -
From my friend, Kevin Sorbo:
Irony 1.
“We are told NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics.”
BUT on the other hand, “We’re also encouraged TO judge ALL Gun Owners by the actions of a few Lunatics.”
Irony 2.
The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing this year the largest amount of free meals and food stamps ever, to 47 million people according to the most recent figures available in 2013.
Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us “Please Do Not Feed the Animals.” Their stated reason for the policy is that “The animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves.”
Thus Ends Today’s Irony Lesson.Yeah, I know we knew already. It’s just good to see others see it, too. Especially an actor type.
-
LogMeIn informed me that as of the end of this month, their free service is no longer free. Bummer. I used it a lot. I searched around and found TeamView, which does the same thing, and actually has more functionality, and it’s still free.
Sorry, LogMeIn, but times – they be tight still. I’ll miss you. -
VANROTH
Nuff said -
When I left the house around 6 1/2 this morning, there was ice everywhere except on concrete. There was no ice on the ground from Glorious Copperfield to inside the loop, traffic was really light and it took less time to get in today than yesterday.

And I’m also jazzed. OH4 found an item I thought was gone forever. It’s an old organizer/calculator device I purchased years ago. It’s not as high tech as a smart phone by a long shot, but then the NSA won’t be able to peek into it, either, unless I sync it up with my computer – then all bets are off.
I like it because I can calculate mortgage payments and other related mortgage values on it. It has a phone book, a translator, a mileage/cost calculator, checkbook (which I’ll never use, I bet), alarm, daily schedule/meeting organizer, and some games, such as hangman and mastermind on it. I just discovered the calorie/carb counter on it, and the toll free directory (which I admit may be out of date by now). I especially like the mortgage calculations on it, so when Hubby and I are talking about properties or loans, I don’t have to have my computer with me.
Yeah, until I get a smartphone, I like my little organizer. I have to re-learn how to use it. There seem to be other functions that I have to discover, looking at the keys.
It’s like Christmas! -
OH, and it’s likely not to get stolen, either.
-
This is what it looks like. In case you cared.

#24 – I use TeamViewer – works pretty well – even works on my schmarty phone (but phone screen way too small for these old eyes trying to manipulate a PC)………………I reckon I need to get this ancient Toshiba lappytop repaired or invest in a new lappytop
-
Looks like the freezing temp inside the Loop is lingering longer than forecast earlier this morning. It was supposed to be warming up by 10 am but that’s been extended to noonish. Still glad I am retired, inside and warm!
-
TeamViewer is a great program. Used it here at work in lieu of GoToMeeting on several occasions and no problems at all. Can’t beat the price.

When is this type of thing going to stop?
HEADLINE: ‘2016: Obama’s America’ Filmmaker Indicted for Violating Campaign Finance Laws
/snip
According to the indictment, D’Souza donated $20,000 to Long’s campaign by aggregating the money from various people and falsely reporting the source of the funds. But Gerald Molen, a co-producer of 2016, says the charge is politically motivated.
“In America, we have a long tradition of not doing what is commonly done in too many other countries — criminalizing dissent through the selective enforcement of the law,” Molen tells THR.We can be sure that those incredibly corrupt labor union bosses, movie moguls, and other leftist socialist scum will be promptly prosecuted with equal vigor, right?

#25 No sir. Na ga da-it. 😉

TT, when you do get ready for a smartphone, I wholeheartedly recommend one of these. Just got mine about a week ago. I’ve had a couple of Android devices and the BB Z10 is a better device IMO. Side loaded a few droid apps on it and they work just fine.

Another post from Kevin:
I have not read the book, so is this accurate or made up?
For your info…Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer for Realistic Radicals is the late work of community organizer Saul D. Alinsky, and his last book, published in 1971 shortly before his death. His goal for the Rules for Radicals was to create a guide for future community organizers to use in uniting low-income communities, or “Have-Nots”, in order to empower them to gain social, political, and economic power.
Straight from the horse’s mouth and we sit here and say, “….gee whiz” and do nothing…..
*How to create a social state by Saul Alinsky
*There are 8 levels of control that must be obtained before
you are able to create a social state. The first is the most
important.
**1) Healthcare – **
*Control healthcare and you control the people*
2) Poverty –
*Increase the Poverty level as high as possible, poor people
are easier to control and will not fight back if you are
providing everything for them to live.*
3) Debt –
*Increase the debt to an unsustainable level. That way you
are able to increase taxes, and this will produce more poverty.*
4) Gun Control –
*Remove the ability to defend themselves from the
Government. That way you are able to create a police state.*
5) Welfare –
*Take control of every aspect of their lives (Food, Housing,
and Income)*
6) Education –
*Take control of what people read and listen to – take
control of what children learn in school.
*
7) Religion –
*Remove the belief in the God from the Government and schools*
8) Class Warfare –
*Divide the people into the wealthy and the poor. This will
cause more discontent and it will be easier to take (Tax)
the wealthy with the support of the poor.*
Does any of this sound like what is happening to the United
States? -
Yes, it is true, the insanity is world wide.
HEADLINE: Smiling Vagina School Mural Lives To Smile Another Day
There’s nothing that brightens the day more than a smiling vagina. However, a street artist’s rendition of a smiling vagina painted on the staircase of a junior high school in Sweden has sparked a heated debate about censorship.There has to be a joke in there, somewhere.

From Texpat’s #65 yesterday, James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas exposing Battleground Texas staff making fun of Greg Abbott’s paralysis and wheelchair confinement. That has gone viral, all sorts of news outlets are running with it, Wendy hastily issues condemnation of Battleground Texas staff’s ugly words.
Upshot is that now more folks are aware of how low Democrats in Texas are in attacking Republicans will sink in, although the perps are likely mostly aliens from other states moved in to turn Texas blue. It is not well received and does not cover Democrats with glory. And now more folks are aware of Greg Abbott’s condition. With this, Texas has become a battleground in a way the Democrats had not envisioned and for which they will suffer. Wendy’s implosion continues. -
Hubby’s reporting that a big chunk of guardrail somewhere on I-45 heading north out of town has been “vanished”. 18 wheeler sideways at Bellfort. Lots of other stuff going wrong. He’s heading up to Bryan to look at his mother’s rental property and hopefully get a peek at L’il Sunshine while he’s up there. I told him to be very careful. He’s in a truck loaded with tools that, once it starts skidding, may be hard to stop.

If you disagreed with TBO, you were called racist.
If you disagreed with Hillary, you were called sexist.
If a liberal disagrees with Abbott, what will they be called?

And in case anyone missed it, I have some friends who’ve hit some hard times. If you are so inclined, they are accepting donations while trying to put their lives back together.

You menfolks ought to get this – another one from Kevin.
When I came home from golfing today, the wife left a note on the fridge:
It’s not working, gone to stay with my Mother.
I can’t take it anymore.
I opened the fridge, the light came on, and the beer was cold.
What the hell is she talking about?Man, I wish I could get to know this guy in person – he seems like someone I could really enjoy hanging out with. I love his sense of humor!
-
Probably many folks are wondering what slight tap, sound, tremor of traffic passing by will disintegrate the Apple glass in one grand finale. Mega Excedrin headache.

I read this story about a fox being frozen in a lake, and when I read the first caption, I remembered a video.
WARNING: THIS IS ONE OF THOSE WISSING DREADED SONGS THAT CAN BE HARD TO GET OUT OF YOUR HEAD!
Aggie Beau and Lovely Daughter introduced this one to me, as an example of possibly one of the dumbest videos ever.
If you dare to sample it, you can find it here.
But when I read that caption, I couldn’t help but laugh. Out loud. -
Another one from KS. I’ve seen it before, but it’s still funny:
(1) Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing : This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word. It’s also a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks : A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you’re welcome. (This is true, unless she says ‘Thanks a lot.’ That is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say ‘you’re welcome’. That will bring on a ‘whatever’).
(8) Whatever : Is a woman’s way of saying….Go to Hell…
(9) Don’t worry about it, I got it : Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to # 3. -
That picture at the top looks like it was taken not too far from here.
