Poor Bambi… First!

Yay, Adee’s back!
-
What about gay cousins?
-
Ms Adee, we were on a cruise in the pre internet/cell phone days so no news for a week. Turned out we were dodging a hurricane all week and had no clue. 😀
Good to have you back, now what did we tell you about running off and not telling us?

What difference does it make? The narrative got put there and it stuck, truth be damned.
-
Not that anyone but us read here, but it’s probably not wise to post your vacation schedule in advance for the whole world to see.

#8 Agreed. “Progressives” have a plethora of slogans like “Hands up, don’t shoot” that are all built on lies. Everything “progressives” say is a lie. No exceptions.

Yup. With each passing day it becomes easier and easier to choose not to vote.
It takes a special combination of incompetence and cowardice to miss an easy lay-up like this, but apparently the new Republican Congress has it in spades.

Ron Paul and blowback – It’s France from the 1830s fault … oh, and the Jews.

Libertarianism as a philosophy is pretty cool until you get the munchies.

Good to be back on the couch, back to the 6 am feeding the mares routine, after feeding Mariposa first of course since she’s underfoot when the alarm goes off. Bailed her out of boarding late yesterday afternoon, and she’s been our shadow ever since. The mares are a bit more reserved in greeting, but then they can’t follow us around the house. 🙂
A few quick assurances about the Panama Canal after Jimmah Cahtah gave the Canal Zone back to Panama in the 70s, improvements and all. The Chinese do not run the canal, the Panamanians do and get hefty tolls for passage through it dependent upon the size and draft of the ship and its cargo weight. The toll for our cruise ship that went only to Gatun Lake (about halfway through) and turned around and left the same way it entered was according to the excursion guide about $300k. The tolls are paid in US $.
The Chinese have the contracts to run the ports at either end of the canal, and they pay Panama for the privilege. The current contract is a 15-year one (not sure when it began). Panama gets its cut. And from appearances and the massive construction effort to create the wider locks that shadow the original ones, Panama is doing a darned good job of financing and building them. Specs on the new locks are to be met exactly as were the ones on the original locks. No wiggle room. Delay in the new ones opening is caused by contractors who haven’t met specs precisely and have to do it over—at their expense. Meaningful learning experience for them.
The older locks will continue in service—nothing wrong with them except they’re not wide enough for many modern ships. The new ones will be able to accommodate aircraft carriers and huge tankers and container ships. More stuff on this later.

Mornin’ Gang
Now that the rain has cleared out, it’s warming up to be a nice day and we got 3 1/2″ of rain! The two holiday weekends netted almost 4″ total, so we’re catching up. -
I love the OC picture, good meal right there. There’s plenty of room for all God’s creatures. right next to the mashed taters.

Texas is good enough for some snowbirds
but noooooo, Adee has to take it to Panama. 🙂Welcome back, Dear.

#14 Ms. Adee: I beg to differ a bit on your post;
A few quick assurances about the Panama Canal after Jimmah Cahtah gave the Canal Zone back to Panama in the 70s, improvements and all.
The canal zone was never “Panamanian” property; before Panama came into existence, it was Columbian property. Panama only became a country by entering into a treaty with the US (under Teddy Roosevelt, I believe) as follows:
1) The USA would assist the Panamanians in their break away from Columbia in exchange for a permanent US sovereign strip of land which would become the Canal Zone.
2) When the Panamanians declared independance from Columbia, the US recognized the new govt within hours and put a Navy gunship close by to “deter” the Columbians from putting down the revolt.The land was deeded in perpetuity as Sovereign US Territory in exchange for the gunboat and recognition. Other considerations were that the Panamanians would gain the tolls and that Panamanians would work the Canal, but that the Canal and the land surrounding it would be US territory. So Jimmah Cawtah never gave back, he simply gave away. And what benefit did the US get for giving away such a great asset?

Saw this comment on another site regarding a commentary written about OCloven Hoof’s The State of Satan’s Union speech.
Sheer poetry.
“He is C.S. Lewis’ Un-Man, T.S. Eliot’s Hollow Man, G.K. Chesterton’s
Godless Man, and Alistair Maclean’s Counterfeit Man, all rolled into one
sorry sleazy unctuous bundle of repugnance.” -
#18 continued: The US Sovereignty of the Canal Zone adds further to the absurdity of the issue of citizenship of John McCain, he was born in US territory to two US citizen parents; a much clearer and cleaner case than the JugEared Jackass’ case.
-
Brother Phil
The author forgot Aleister Crowley, Anton Levay and Charlie Manson.

I guess I missed this gem from the SOTU. So now he’s proposing we punish parents who actually save for their children’s college and give it to the irresponsible parents who don’t care???

#18 and 20 Bonecrusher
Thanks for the history that goes farther back than Jimmah. And incidentally the idiotic matter of John McCain not being born a US citizen. And likely a crooked tangent to try to say Ted Cruz is not a US citizen because he was born in the Dominion of Canada. You just know that’s coming from the lefties the closer Ted gets to running for pres.
Our tour guide was a US Army veteran of Viet Nam and Granada, born in the Canal Zone and thus a US citizen but of Panamanian ancestry and proud of his service. And proud to speak his mind as was just about everybody in the countries we visited. They are all No Political Correctness Zones. How refreshing, and we need to turn the tables on the dolts who kiss Chairman Mao’s Little Red Book at every turn to squelch free speech—other than theirs of course.

I had several pretty good history teachers at Memorial High School here in Houston, and at Stephen F. Austin in Nacogdoches. Some of the stuff just stuck in spite of me trying to drown and smoke out the info.

Thanks, for the OC picture, got me to thinking and I just put the last of this year’s backstrap in the Crock Pot. 😉

Felicia Cravens posted a question on FB the other day: Who is your #1 political hero?
I have a political hero. Mustapha Debboun, PhD, BCE

That Appaloosa convertible reminded of a recent sighting in a mall parking lot. A gleaming new cream-colored PT Cruiser with some stick-on bullet hole decals on the driver’s side… If I had a cell phone, I woulda brought back some pix.
-
I am very partial to Sen Jeff Sessions for his sane stand on immigration. Also fond of Ted Cruz and Mike Lee. Occasionally of Trey Gowdy. Can’t think of anyone else who even jiggles the meter.
Hero status will have to wait and see if anyone is able to get anything accomplished in the right direction.
-
My political heroes are mostly dead white guys.

The Euro-Zone banksters are getting in on the QE game. This will hasten the collapse of most if not all major currencies. It will make it very easy to institute a new Global Currency to replace the Euro, the Dollar, the Pound, etc. We could call it the Falsie and everybody could get in on the game.
-
#22 Hamous: it gets even worse. The new rules only apply to new dollars put in, not dollars already in place. The “optics blind” azz-pore paid forward 5 years worth for his 2 chirrenzes while he has lots of funny money coming in, and then he will slam the door shut for everybody in the future. The money put in originally was after tax and now they want to tax it again as income for the recipient.

Hey TexCan, do y’all have any problems with these things in the GWFN?

Heard on one of the home shows that due to federal efficiency standards going in force next month, water heaters will double in price.
Geez, I’m lucky to get 7 years out of one. -
Oh rats, another 42! 😀
-
Good grief. I don’t have even an extra inch of space for an increase in diameter of the water heater.
-
#43 Shannon: I just got to this point:
Another drawback is that a new water heater is likely to have lower hot water deliverability than prior models. “For example, a model with less input may be required to achieve the higher efficiency, which will ultimately result in less hot water delivered,” Sanborn said.
So the new one may be a bit more efficient, but it won’t deliver as much hot water?!?
Only a DC idjit could come up with crapola like that. -
Yeah I guess they’re pretty efficient if the hot water heater doesn’t have to heat the water.
Prices going up and lower output is double bad for me, ours is on its last leg and I can’t replace it right now and it’s located in the garage about 20′ from the house taking everything it has to overcome air temperature getting to the house.
On the bright side size don’t matter, I gotta lot of space.
-
I’m assuming you will still be able to buy the older models till stock runs out?
-
Bite the bullet and get a tankless.
-
#47: If Shannon can only get 7 years or so out of a water heater it may be because the water coming in has too high a mineral/sediment/suspended garbage load in it. To make the tankless make sense and last a good long time the water has to be treated upstream of the heater. I use a whole house water softener and the coffee pot never needs to be cleaned and the shower door does not build up the soap scum either.
-
I wish Keds made em, but i could settle for PF Flyers old skool design,

#46 GJT
With this bunch of twits in Obozo’s government, it can be hazardous to assume anything but the worst possible scenario. On the other hand, bet the black market in stockpiled old model water heaters will skyrocket, kinda like the old 3-gallon toilet tank models that work properly once smuggled in from Canada or snapped up at estate sales. Trust that the Canadians haven’t lost their minds and downsized their tanks. Texanadian, please tell us they haven’t.
-
Tankless water heater is on my to do list. i do not need it yet. I ain’t buying an “old one” to store either. The new water heater regulation affect only 50+ gallon models. Apparently 40 and below do not fall under the new guidelines. The new 50ers are also 2 inches larger in diameter which means they will not fit in most existing spaces. And if ya gotta put them in the attic most attic steps are not wide enough to accommodate the new size.
-
#51: Not to mention the 50-80 gallon disaster just waiting. . . . .
-
To make the tankless make sense and last a good long time the water has to be treated upstream of the heater.
Not really. The problem with hard water and tank water heaters is that the carbonates have time to precipitate out and build up over time. While you will have some build-up with a tankless it’s much less because when the water is heating it is also always flowing so there’s less time for precipitates to form. Plus you can clean it out. Can’t do that with a tank. You just replace it.

I just saw a 1969 Nova sell for $380,000.

Converse still makes old school Chucks. I got a couple pair. One pair made out of suede leather. They’re probably 20 years old now and still going strong. I think Nike owns Converse now.
-
Yup Converse makes em. They are kool too. But the name PF Flyers brings back my old memories. That was the brand of choice when I was growing up. That and Keds.
-
As long as we are traversing memory lane, does anyone remember these? I had one on which I played soccer – on the concrete.
-
Well, Converse ads have finally replaced Dutch army surplus underwears.

#57 Bonez
Never owned one of those. But this was my first brand spanking new bike I done ever got when I was a little bearded speedo wearing wierdo
-
We get along fine with one 40-gallon water heater, although I never understood how the previous owners who raised 5 or 6 kids in this 4-br house did it. When we bought the house 20 years ago, 2 of the kids were still living here plus one’s husband and a grandchild.
Still, this issue raises my hackles.
“Like it or not, the changes are coming. Builders and contractors should view these changes as an opportunity to educate their customers on the higher efficiency options available in the market thus helping them make choices that they will feel good about every time they turn on the hot water.”
-
Well, as long as we feel good about our hot water heater, it makes no difference whether or not it works – right?
-
My first new bike was very similar to one of these, I was about 6.
-
Good ol banana seat spider bikes. that was the last bike I ever owned.

I am noticing an awful lot of young female “teachers” in hot water for molesting and having sex with students. I’m pretty sure that was rare or nonexistent in my teenage years, so wondering what had led to this sorry mess. Is it just too many of the wrong kind of people going into teaching these days? I know a few young women who work in schools, although not as teachers, and these women, at least, seem normal to me.

That is not true, according to my research on the Web.
-
The 50+ gallon models are subject to stricter efficiency standards and will require more extensive redesign, but all water heaters are subject to new standards.
From what I’m reading, the 40 gallon (and less) models will be able to meet the standards by simply increasing insulation – which will require increases in diameter. -

I am home tonight…been running all day, taking care of Mom, going to the gym, etc. I’ll be heading back to Lovely’s place tomorrow for a few more days, at their request.
Yes, the arm twisting is painful! 😉
If the new water heater designs make it impossible to get ’em up into attics, there’s gonna be a lot of angry customers down the road, as the current models need replacement. There’s gonna be a lot of redesigning of attic access or repiping of houses coming…
But I think water heaters in attics are the work of de debbil, anyway. Stupidest place for one of those. Some architects should be shot. Twice. Then hung.

On Friday morning, I woke up to Chuck Tiller playing Chubby Checker’s Pony Time on my clock radio. Of course I remembered the song, but I didn’t seem to have any clue what the dance looked like. The tune stuck in my mind throughout the day, and finally I looked for a video to see the dance. Pretty sure I had never seen it performed before. But blast it, I still have the tune stuck in my head. Sorta like that Dutch Army underwear still popping up. Along with a couple of bikes today. Boogety boogety boogety shoo.

The attic seems to be a really bad place for a water heater in the first place. All those gallons sitting on a platform above a thin sheetrock ceiling below. Had a leak from the attic water heater in our first house in Houston that overflowed the pan it was sitting in when insulation plugged the discharge pipe out of the attic. We had a minor waterfall down the front of ceiling to floor cupboards in the guest bathroom but fortunately no ceiling collapse before we stopped the leak and got plumbing help.
The current house we built out here on the moors of the Brazos has the water heater in the attached garage (but described as detached because you have to go outside the house to get into the garage even though it is under the same roof—go figure on that one). Decided in the planning stage that the attic was not the place for it.
-
Good morning Hamsters. Beautiful starry sky and 39 at 6 but dry here, seems like a good start to the day. Some flowering plants (wedelia) in a bed between the house and barn have frozen above ground for the season and look pretty sad, but they are tough and will come back with spring. Pansies as usual are beautiful despite the cold.
Another winter storm moves through the Midwest to dip southeast and then bedevil the northeast, mostly reinforcing what we already have for a few days. The dead of winter down here isn’t bad in comparison.

‘American Sniper’: Intolerance Burns Inside the Left like a Poison.
The Left cannot tolerate dissent. If just one thing sneaks through the institutions the Left is desperate to hold a monopoly on, it is immediately crushed, defamed, mocked, and Frankenstein-villaged until the end of time.
Just try to read this from Vox without seeing the vein throbbing in the author’s forehead:
Faced with a choice between altering its narrative to account to account for that gray versus altering the facts of history, the film chose the latter. It adopted an “honesty shmonesty” approach to the war: in its retelling, Iraq was a fight of Good Americans against Bad Terrorists, led by Chris Kyle, the Good-est American of them all.
Translation: “Harumph! Harumph! Harumph!On and Hunnered!

Happy Birthday MHarp!

Happy B-Day M42.
The link on SD#100 focuses on the foaming at the mouth for American Sniper; the same froth occurs when a legit climate scientist presents more evidence debunking MMGW. It is quite amusing and infuriating to watch.

We watched the movie Jobs yesterday on Netflix. Now I don’t have much recall of the ’70’s but apparently the ’80’s and ’90’s buzzed by as well, I had little to no memory of any of the events. It’s pretty bad when your son has to explain the history of stuff from before he was born. 😀

Wonder where the money went: Federal Edition
The government awarded $432,000 to Columbia University to interview gay men who use GPS dating apps and determine whether it increases their likelihood of engaging in risky sexual behavior.
(snip)
The study is examining “how and why smartphone applications are used for sexual partnering,” how gay men “present themselves,” communicate, and what they look for on apps like Grindr.
The project is also studying the sexual arousal level of gay men when using the apps.(I do not even want to know)
-
I grew up using the phrase “Oh boy” which is meaningless but similar to “Oh man.” Also “boyhowdy” which is West Texas gibberish. All these could be replaced by “Oh wow” or “Oh, my!” which are similar interjections. I’ve had to bite my tongue a few times in the last 20 yrs when I blurted out “Oh boy, [something or other]” in the presence of any black male. Who would usually proceed to give me an odd look.

Dunno if you are a sci-fi movie fan or not, I laugh at their pc version of respecting military type commanding officer. Star Trek: In their universe a response to female officers is SIR as in yes sir or no sir. I have seen that in other movie franchises. So did they just make all officers androgynous or sexually neuter or what?

I could spend days on Rodenberry’s utapioca view of the future.
-
INtererstingly enough Roddenberry did see into the future:
motion detecting doors that open automatically
communicators, we call them mobile phones now
the importance of computers in everyday lifethere are prolly a whole lot more of that type of thing that was not known then that we take for granted now.
Someone else who saw into the future and absolutely nailed the mentality of the left/lib/prog was Ayn Rand. She was wacked on a whole lot of levels but she painted an extrodinarily accurate picture of the left. -
Ever read Jules Verne? THAT was a man ahead of his time……… so to speak.

Just out of curiosity where are y’all seeing the ads. I don’t never see them no where. Course with my high powered ad blocker I don’t get em. Oh and I block 3rd party cookies.

My blocking options are different in Chrome than they were in IE, which I guess I used for 20 yrs. I started downloading an ad blocker that Katfishy recommended, but I chickened out before installing it. Need to research it a bit, but been overloaded the last 12 days with a draggy husband needing lots of attention.

That is just so much of another storm. Good grief I spent five years in Maine form1958-64. Every year we would have white out snows that dropped 2 to 4 feet at a time with drifts to to the bottom of the 2nd floor of the house. I heard the foxnews woman screaming how everyone was gonna die in this possible top five hysterical storm of all time. BOVINE PROCESSED HAY. The only thing that makes this storm possibly worse is the amount of people it will affect.

Squawk, my husband is on a slow improvement curve. He is going up and down the stairs several times a day now, and eating and drinking without having to be threatened.

And I have my Big Buddy propane heater.

My rant is this thought that bad storms have only have or are only occurring in the last few years. I weren’t kiddin when I said in Maine we had MAJOR blizzards for the 5 years i lived up there.These weather people make me sick. It is all about the hype and narrative than proper perspective.

ACCUMULATIONS…SNOW ACCUMULATION OF 20 TO 30 INCHES…WITH
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE. SNOWFALL RATES OF 2 TO 4
INCHES PER HOUR EXPECTED LATE MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY MORNING.We did that standing on our heads back in the day. The roads were cleard inside of 12 hours. all that was left was shoveling out the drive. No snow blowers for us back then.

It just really bugged me that he would not move.
That wasn’t a big issue. 🙂 There really isn’t a bed downstairs that he fits in comfortably, and the upstairs cat would have been in a panic if he had moved. Yes, I carped a lot about all the stepping, but it was good for my knees, in ways that my one remaining routine exercise — the Exercycle — is not.

I’d never heard of a ‘numbers’ car until the other day. The ’69 GTO has been sitting around since the mid 80’s. I’d always meant to shove a 455 in it but got married instead. The only thing not from the factory on the car is the carburettor and heads. I still have the original heads, had to change them to low lead heads. The carb may be around somewhere, put it on a boat at some point.
The thing is far from mint. It came from Oklahoma where they salt the roads and the dash is in the attic. Still with the owners manual. The cam lost a lobe at some point. I recall replacing it with a ram air 4 cam and timing chain. Replaced the points ignition with the HEI distributor. Drove that thing back and forth to College Station for a while.
Numbers car, reckon I ought to check that out.

The problems here stem from the idiocy and stupidity of others beyond my control. It’s not the roads. It’s the incompetent utility companies, the unreliable local municipality and a region in which no gas station or truck stop (or other essential businesses) even considers installing backup generators for disaster events. The lack of forethought and common sense around here is enough to make you want to just slap one of these arrogant bureaucrats right through the window.

HehI am not denying the storm will prolly be a bad one as far as snowfall goes. And your traffic woes are caused by bureaucrats. I can excuse the utilities. Lets face it as people push into a city the grid becomes like a rats maze. What is inexcusable is the fear mongering hysteria the media creates. I have listened to a couple national newsie type meteorologist and they all used the most extreme OMG we are gonna die descriptives/reporting they could muster. AND THEY WILL BE RIGHT THERE TO GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE STORM OF THE MILLENNIUM. So comforting.
