Black and white header photos three days in a row. I just realized it.

It’s the weekend!

Very neat picture and B&W pictures are classy, often with dramatic contrast.

Well sometimes the world of freight doesn’t take weekends off – folks over in Converse REALLY needed this Casa Grande C30 track type drill delivered this mornin bright and early!
Nice folks even bought breakfast tacos for our driver.

#4 Katfish: That is a nice haul; overwieght, permit load, prolly oversized and need front and back escort. I’ll bet you made a lot of gas money for Gracie on that one.

Californika is feverishly trying to build a bullet train. You know, because they’ve solved homelessness, hunger, and drug addiction by becomeing Democratically Socialist. It appears they bought the train before building the tracks. Here it is sitting in its storage yard.

#144 from last night – Take care of that stuff. That melanoma wants to get in your vital organs and your brain, as if you didn’t already know that. You are now obligated to keep the couch up to speed on all your Dr visits, test results, and the like of course.
As to Phil, I for one am glad to see him back to normal. I thought something had gone wrong with him, or maybe the dark side had recruited him for their own nefarious purposes.
For the rest of you, have a great day. Oh, before I forget, here’s today’ weather forecast out here for those of you keeping a chart – hot and dry.

Q Anon brought forward from last night.
I’m sure everyone remembers about the Pizza-gate thing involving pedos, right? Now, the Q thing brings up the pedo issue again, and what is it with the Ds that insist on bringing in unaccompanied minors from poor, illiterate countries?
Can anyone seriously say that there is not a substantial number of people in the DOJ, FBI, DHS, etc. who are in cahoots to cover-up the misdeeds of Felonia Von Pantsuit and frame Trump?
Can anyone seriously say that there is not a substantial number of elected officials who have no desire to actually help the middle class, instead they enact legislation to punish them. Look at the current economic situation: business is booming largely due to the tax cuts and reg. cuts and the Ds want to claw that back because it makes Trump look good?!? The Ds are constantly pushing for more socialism, while ignoring the fact that it fails every single time it is tried. The degree of failure tracks exactly with the degree of implementation and yet they continue. . . . . -

As the doctor put it, “If you’ve got to get melanoma this is the kind to get.” Melanoma in situ. I have lots of moles and have had them all my life. The ones that were annoying (like where I shave) I had them removed. They’ve always been benign. When this came up I knew it was different. Still, I have to say that call on a Friday afternoon kinda floored me. The good news is this type is just on the surface and, after three excisions, they got it all. 99% chance of living another 10 years so the odds are good. I’ll just be making more frequent trips to the dermatologist.

I was reading about the Sargassum seaweed inundation in the Caribbean, Central America, South America and south Florida beaches. It’s supposedly the worst year ever.
Have the counterclockwise Gulf currents carried any onto the Texas beaches yet ?

Some federal judge somewhere has decided to put on his/her executive branch robe and override Trump’s DACA repeal of Obama’s executive order. Obviously, an EO is not a law passed by Congress and if Obama can order it done by fiat, Trump should be able to order it undone by fiat. Anyway, it’s a trap. The Dems are hoping that Trump will just tell the judge to pound sand and ignore the order, which frankly would be the reasonable thing to do. But, we now have a SCOTUS that would vote 4-4 which would mean that the judge’s order would stand (remember, that’s why the Dems want to delay Kavanaugh’s appointment). Then, the have firm grounds for impeachment – Trump won’t abide by judiciary rulings. That’s the trap. All the Dems have to do is to get to one judge, which they obviously have plenty to choose from, and it’s done.

We got a little shower a while ago, not enough to measure though and now it’s overcast and about 85 degrees.

As seen over yonder, Nolan Ryan takes no prisoners.
H/T Southern Tragedy. -
The judiciary is supposed to rule whether a law is constitutional. Laws are enacted by congress and signed by the President. DACA is not a law so judges shouldn’t even be ruling on it. Of course, they will.

Democrats are worried they’ll get caught in the crossfire from members of the Resistance.
Despite being a time-honored tradition going back many years, the DNC is refusing to play the RNC at this year’s annual softball game.
RNC sources tell The Daily Caller that they were “stunned” when Democrats abruptly pulled out of the good-natured game between leadership and staffers at opposing political organizations.
The game was an opportunity to put aside the partisan bickering and come together in friendly competition. The decade-old tradition typically ended in staffers having a drink at a nearby bar.
RNC sources familiar with the decision said the DNC told them that “all our players are out in the field this year. We won’t be able to play.”
-
Congressional baseball – who could possible care??? Anytime a Rep is agreeing with a Dem on anything, the Rep is the sell-out. Dems don’t sell out their base – Reps do. Over and over and over again. Don’t give the Dems an inch. Don’t even acknowledge their presence. Bipartisanship means we give in to them. Never compromise with a Dem, never, never, never. And don’t play baseball with them either. Baseball is American passtime, don’t degrade it with despicable congress types getting involved.

As to Phil, I for one am glad to see him back to normal. I thought something had gone wrong with him, or maybe the dark side had recruited him for their own nefarious purposes.
I’m in a 12 step program. It takes me 12 steps to get from my couch to my wine fridge.

Soo…..after years and years of my wife wanting to go to Hawaii, we decided to take our 30th anniversary early and booked a trip for the week of September 1. Guess what, a Cat 3 hurricane is barreling towards it right now! Of course it will be gone and done by then, but what if the place gets wrecked?? I didn’t even know Hawaii got hurricanes…. 😡
-
Good steady rain here in 77355. We’ve been watching The Staircase on Netflix, the Michael Peterson case where his wife falls down the staircase back in 2001 I believe. I have no recollection of the outcome or much of any of it, even though we are up to year 2017 now. Hell it may still be ongoing for all I know. Resisting the urge to DuckDuckGo it… Don’t tell me!
-
Last time Hawaii got hit by a major hurricane was during the filming of the first Jurassic Park movie. That was at least 25 years ago.
-
But don’t worry about hurricanes. Worry about Q! And look out for people with ankle bracelets. They’re the bad guys.
-
Hurricanes, volcanoes, terrorists and gun fights like they show on Hawaii 5-0 and Magnum PI, Obama’s Alma Mater, stupid Senators
Why in the corn bread Hell would anybody want to go to Hawaii?

Yeah, this area gets hit about every 25 years.
Why in the corn bread Hell would anybody want to go to Hawaii?
Corn bread and I aren’t sure at all, I’ve seen probly just about all you need to on the TV. Sometimes, it’s best to just pick yer battles. Don’t even get to go to Pearl Harbor…

That would have been neat to see. My grandpa played a Jew’s Harp, does that count? 😀

That’s about as far as our family’s music history goes. Though my mom had a distant cousin who was blind that played the banjo. He was on one of the old Porter Wagner shows once.

Going to see EQ2 tonight. Wife says it has bad reviews, I don’t know. I said you’ll like it. 6:30 show was booked, had to get 7:30 heehee.

Why in the corn bread Hell would anybody want to go to Hawaii?
FWIW; My lovely bride and I spent our honeymoon on Oahu, in 1975, this was when Maui was still a backwater. Hawaii is a beautiful place and as Hamous says, the typhoons are very rare, so, no worries. If I went back, I’d skip Oahu altogether since I’ve been to Pearl Harbor and the National Memorial Cemetery. Daughter and her Hubby spent their honeymoon on Maui, stayed at a small, four unit place that belonged to a friend of hubby’s family. The owners brought them fresh fruit every day. That said; if you get the chance to go to Maui, you have to take the Air Maui Helicopter tour to the volcano and the waterfall where Jurassic Park was filmed, tell them Dave @ the Rocket Ranch sent you, Mika will remember me, since I purchased two tours for daughter and hubby and one more, a few years later, when my wife went with a girlfriend to Maui and Kauai, ( the garden Isle). My wife says that Kauai is the hidden jewel, the neatest island that she’s been to.
-
My #38, one of the reason that I picked Air Maui was that they have A Stars, 6 place relatively quite, choppers. Daughter, and her hubby both sat in the front beside the pilot as did my wife and her buddy, when they went….Oh, and yes, my wife got air sick,……Sigh,……

I think the Republicans on the Hill should invite the staff from the Russian Embassy in DC to play them in a softball game.
I’ll volunteer to coach the Russians. We could have Ukrainian cheerleaders.

Is Adee off on a cruise? I haven’t seen any posts from her for a while.Darn it, somehow I got stuck on the Friday thread, and thought I kilt the blog at 11:30 this morning. As the day wore on, I got sadder and sillier, thinking no one was around.

Here’s what I got when I followed mh directions. Thanks mh.

Nice picture.
The bucks around here are acting all squirrelly. Seen two nice ones dead by car and others moving around in broad daylight on the roads.

I had been thinking this and drafting a post for this site for a while. Once I was confident Justice Kennedy would retire, it occurred to me history had turned to vindicate Clarence Thomas and establish his judicial philosophy as triumphant.
But I procrastinated, Kavanaugh was nominated and now Steven Hayward beat me to the punch.
He even stole my headline: THE VINDICATION OF CLARENCE THOMAS…
Thomas waged a quiet war of ideas against twentieth century liberalism — and he won the hearts of a legion of conservative law students. Many of those former students are now old enough to be judges. As of this writing, fully 20 percent of the judges Donald Trump appointed to the federal appellate bench are former Thomas clerks.
The Left has always dismissed Thomas as the intellectual errand boy of Scalia, but anyone who paid attention over the years saw numerous times when the two Justices disagreed and dissented from one another’s opinions.
And this, coming from John Podesta’s Center for American Progress is shocking:
…a similar article from Ian Millhiser, who writes about legal affairs for the Center for American Progress. He, too, thinks Thomas defines the center of gravity for conservative jurisprudence, calling Thomas “the most important legal thinker in America.” No one on the left would have entertained this thought about Thomas 25 years ago.

I was vaguely aware of this important piece of history, but I didn’t know the backstory.
Gail Heriot posts this at Instapundit:
THE TRAGIC BEGINNINGS OF MODERN FIRE SCIENCE: On this day in 1949, the infamous Mann Gulch Fire claimed the lives of 13 young firefighters.
Lewis & Clark had stopped by Mann Gulch and given it its name on their westward journey in 1805. One hundred and forty-four years later, its location in the wilds of Montana was almost as remote as it had been then.
The fire had been spotted by James O. Harrison, a college student working over the summer as a ranger and fire lookout for the National Forest Service. Harrison had been a smoke jumper—a firefighter who leaps out of airplanes to stop remote wildfires—the previous year, but he had decided the job was too dangerous. Once Harrison alerted the Forest Service, a crew of elite smoke jumpers was dispatched from Missoula to fight the fire.
At first, the fire didn’t seem that impressive. Fifteen smoke jumpers, led by 33-year-old Wagner “Wag” Dodge, parachuted out of a Douglas DC-3 into what had become one of the hottest days of the year. Harrison was already on the scene to help. Despite the wind and heat, with their backs to the Missouri River, their position seemed relatively safe as they moved in to bring the fire under control.

The Institute for Justice publishes Short Circuit, a weekly compilation of legal rulings around the country.
Samples from this week:
Stripped of his ability to prescribe narcotics by the Arkansas State Medical Board, doctor places grenade near then-chairman of the board’s vehicle. The explosion seriously injures the then-chairman. By chance, city workers find 98 grenades buried near the doc’s home. Police find 76 machine guns in the doc’s home. Gov’t tries to forfeit the guns. District court denies forfeiture but orders the guns sold at auction because the doctor, now a convicted felon, cannot lawfully possess them. Eighth Circuit: Affirmed. Proceeds from the auction go to the former chairman.
Facebook meme depicts various firearms and uses for each. Gun control proponent comments in response, “Which one do I need to shoot up a kindergarten?” Screenshot finds its way to Jackson, Mo. police, who arrest and charge the proponent, leading to several days in custody. (All charges dropped.) Qualified immunity for the officers? No, says the Eighth Circuit, because even minimal investigation would have revealed the comment was not a “true threat.”
Allegation: Fully aware of the dangers, San Jose, Calif. police force a crowd of Trump supporters to exit a rally directly through a crowd of anti-Trump protestors. Violence ensues. And the constitutional violation here, says the Ninth Circuit, was so obvious that qualified immunity would be inappropriate.

We went to see Equalizer 2 last night, in Regal 19’s recliners! Very good movie, as is any film with Denzel Washington. I didn’t see anything particularly political about it, unless it was secretly about all the dead bodies in the Clinton’s trail.
-
#56 – Court order the sale of 76 machine guns? And city workers just accidentally found 98 grenades? This story still has a few holes to be filled in.
Dems have recognized that the day would come when they would have to weaponize the liberal judges they had been appointing for decades, along with the mamby pamby milk toast eReps approval. That time has arrived, and they are using the courts to harass President Trump and to hopefully overthrow an election.
Todays weather forecast – hot and dry. Have a great day. -

I’d tend to agree. The mode of attack should have been more successful if it was a real one. Drones like that are fast, easy to control, virtually impossible to hit with conventional firearms, and there don’t seem to be any other countermeasures in place.

I guess I never got around to posting much about EQ2, but I was busy last week. I had read somewhere that it was criticized for being NON-PC, but the only hint of that was the tendency of the kid Mouse/Miles (?) to lapse into drug gangsterism.Hubs gave me the 1st 3 episodes of the old TV show The Equalizer to watch for comparison. I plan to watch #1 tonight.

I just heard Washington State Governor, Jay Inslee say that he wished we’d put more emphasis on promoting jobs in “Green Energy” and in his state, Green Energy jobs are growing twice as fast as any other job!…..Think about that, not one job in so called Clean Energy, isn’t subsidized, it wouldn’t exist without it,….So he is proud to provide Welfare Jobs in Washington? Yup, and he is proud of it….SAD

When I was talking to daughter the other night, we marveled at the fact that Midland Texas runs on pure unbridled Capitalism. She wondered what one of her college educated friends, that works at a zoo, would think of the young, Redneck kid, from Mississippi, that she interviewed in the dirty jeans and rough cowboy boots, especially if she knew that he made $190K last year.

In the move from one building to another, I threw away a lot of junk but I found a book that I received when I went to a Spectral Dynamics, Jaguar class in Minden, Nevada; “Random Vibration & Shock Testing Book by Wayne Tustin & Deepak Jariwala”. It is a very good manual and I planned to keep it but I found it on Amazon and it’s worth $2500 BUCKS!?!? Maybe I should sell it on E-Bay. 😀

Our innernet went down last Friday so we called AT&T out to fix it (mowers had cut the line). Anyhow I mentioned how slow the service was to the guy so he axed to look at my laptop. He said you need to get rid of Edge and use Firefox. I finally got around to it and man, what a difference!
Why didn’t you guys tell me about this?? Oh that’s right, you did. For years.

I’m still refusing to use Firefox on principle. Brendan Eich’s Brave browser is coming along nicely.

Journalists whine to the Newseum about t-shirts that read “You are Fake News”, saying it’s a smack on their 1st Amendment rights. To satisfy them, the Newseum decides the press’s 1st Amendment right is greater than our 1st Amendment right to freedom of speech.

I’m surprised that place is still open. The people that ran Newseum plundered the assets to enrich themselves and their comrades.
February 2018:
After years of financial problems, the infamous Newseum in Washington, D.C., is contemplating a sale of its massive Pennsylvania Avenue building, despite paying its board members fat six-figure salaries.
Executives from the Newseum are meeting with a real estate firm Thursday to discuss selling the building or moving it to a smaller and more affordable location, according to The Washington Post.
Such financial difficulties have been known for some time. The CEO of the museum’s top donor, Freedom Forum, stepped down from his position in August 2017 after failing to clean up the museum’s finances after the nonprofit put in nearly $500 million since 1997.
With hundreds of millions pouring in, the Newseum seemed to exercise little fiscal restraint. A third of the museum’s expenses were spent on salaries, benefits and payroll taxes in 2015. Top executives like CEO Jeffrey Herbst took in $259,108 in 2015 for only five month’s work. His predecessor, James Duff, earned $1.2 million the year before — all while the organization sustained losses totaling in the millions from 2011 to 2015.

Just heard Phantom 309 by Red Sovine on the radio.
WKCR is the public radio station at Columbia University in NYC. Sundays are devoted to country music – real country. Hank Williams, Dottie West, Buck Owens, Hank Snow, George Jones, Mickey Newbury, Ray Price, Jean Shephard…
I don’t know who does the playlists, but they are great. The weird thing is listening to these young Ivy League kids with their accent-less, perfect Yankee diction as the DJs certainly born decades after any of this music was recorded.

I’m hearing all over that the media is upset claiming that Trump has declared “the media is the enemy of the people.” As usual of course, they left out a word or two to convey a different meaning from what he actually said. This is his quote “The FAKE NEWS media (failing @nytimes, @NBCNews, @ABC, @CBS, @CNN) is not my enemy, it is the enemy of the American People!” What makes it so ironic is that he is disparaging “fake news” and what the media is complaining about is in fact “fake news.” What a bunch of miscreants.

Two weeks ago, I picked up a bouquet of flowers at Kroger and as usual, the wife whacked em off and feed them plant food, changing the water often and sometimes tossing the wimpy ones. They always look the best after about 7 days, and some of the flowers don’t even bloom until the middle of the first week. Anyway, she left on Thursday and the flowers were looking kinda’ sad, so I culled them, whacked em off again and put the good ones back, now the bouquet is about half as big as it was. I took a picture and sent it to wife and daughter and daughter said that was a natural florist and that they looked real good. Well, I’m sure she may have been patronizing me a little, but hey, that’s her job.

You tempt the Fates more than I do. I won’t leave a flame burning in my house when I go out, even for a few minutes. And with my dogs, I lock the valve on the gas stove whenever I leave.
I walked in the house after I had been gone about 45 minutes a few years ago and smelled gas. I walked straight over to the stove and one of the burners had been turned slightly to release a small stream of gas, but it was enough to be alarming. I left an empty cast iron skillet on the stove top after cooking some meat and the dogs tried to reach it. Fortunately, I hadn’t left the house to be gone for the day.

It’s typical for comments to fall off in the summer. It’s understandable given the season and long daylight hours.
However, 159 comments on an August Friday is pretty unusual or on a Friday any time of the year. It must have been that black & white portrait of Monica.

Thank God for the self-restraint that prevented me from having a Twitter account so I didn’t spend the last few valuable years wasting my time mocking and humiliating the fatuous MSM imbeciles.

#91 Texpat, I almost never leave something on the stove, but I’m here by myself, dawg was with me and the Damn cat was outside, and besides, I knew that leaving the old Griswold, covered up, on as low it would go, the beer wouldn’t cook out of the Kraut in an hour. I was away for 20 minutes tops. That said, your point is well taken.

Oh, and just for the record, I did get enough Cayenne in the Kraut, dayaam it was warm, but outstanding.

Someone may have pointed this out earlier, but the windy city weekend shooting totals about 60 so far with 8 dead, including youngsters. City fathers are blaming hot weather – that’s right, not the perps, not the gangs, not the corrupt politicians and the corrupt police, but the weather. And the victims reportedly dindu nutin and dinsee nutin. They know if they tell the police anything the police will rat them out to the gang member and they will be next. A failed city.

I watched episode 1 of the tv show The Equalizer from 1985. Not bad. I found it a little difficult to keep track of a plethora of suit-wearing characters, as some of them were McCall’s previous bosses trying to get him to un-resign from his “007” type spy job. And others were high-level bad guys who were blackmailing a Senator. I’ll definitely watch the other 2 episodes I have on DVD.

#95, Don’t know how but have had it for 3+ years. Kind of like a radio or TV on in the background. There is always noise, one just learns to ignore some of it. When someone behind you starts talking they get lost in the ambient noise. If you are looking at the speaker tis not hard to concentrate and hear them.

But going to live shows has not made it worse.

It’s the invisible spy ducks, whistling in your ears and talking when your head is turned away. Mine is at least. One ear everything sounds like a broken speaker, the other ear still hears OK.
