I had something else planned altogether for today, then this happened and if anyone missed it, here is a chance to see it. Congratulations, Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

Yup the Turtle Got R Done! Up until a few weeks ago I wouldn’t have believed it.
Mornin’ Gang -
I’ll bring this over from last night since at was almost 10 PM.
Yes I know I’m late but Judge Amy Barrett may very well be the most qualified Jurist on the Supreme Court. No bias, No BS, just the facts ma’am. I so much liked her speech where she pointed out that a certain female Senator had every right to pontificate about her “preferences” BUT as a Judge she had to go by the Constitution, not by feelings/preferences. Sadly, one Republican and EVERY Democrat voted against the most qualified candidate to come before the Senate in some time, STRICTLY because of Politics!….. ~SPITS~

Had another bad sleep night, so I’m sitting here in my PJ’s, coffee in hand, and setting up the new Roku device for the living room. The other one still works, but I have to reboot it by un/replugging it every time. I’ve also found that on Pluto TV the app crashes, especially when I’m trying to watch “Midsomer Murders” on demand. I got the Roku Express, because something with too many bells and whistles would confuse him.
So, I’m loading all of the channels that I want, weeding out the ones I don’t (because Roku tries to help me during setup by loading channels based upon my general preferences). I figger that by the time I finish my coffee I’ll have our most used channels toward the top of our home screen.
Our cable provider actually has “all of those streaming channels” on their system, as per the cable guy. I’ve found some of them, but I can’t figure out how to do anything other than live stream; not on demand.
I’m saving the old one for future, or travel, use.

Only in Alabama, last week the guy that built my back porch, not a deck anymore, stopped by and handed me $84 bucks in cash. He also had a receipt from Townsend for the return of 2 sheets of OSB Board, 1 Pressure treated 2″ X 6″ X 12′ and 2 white siding panels. I had noticed the extra material on his trailer but had no idea he’d credit me for it. I told him that anytime he wants to give me money, drop by and he said it wasn’t my money. FWIW; He is giving me a quote on my 40′ X 30′ X 10′ Garage/Barn/Playhouse. 😉

Wow, I’d forgotten about all these movie channels. I have a lot of streaming channels that I haven’t seen yet or in a long time. I need to go exploring, but between Pureflix, Newsmax, Tubi, Pluto, and Youtube, I haven’t had much of a need to go much of elsewhere in the Roku universe.
The TED channel can be very interesting, especially when I’m feeling more intellectual. I have some arts & crafts channels, but they’ve been a general disappointment, but I should dive back in and see if their projects have improved. Cafe Noir is one that I thought I’d watch more often, along with Goose Creek Drive-In. I’m saving the cartoon channels to share with my grandkids some day. Let’s see what else I have loaded up…
….do y’all have any favorite streaming channels that I should look at?

Morning gang. Pretty chilly up here in Big D this morning, and not expected to warm up much at all. I slept very soundly last night, presumably because I had watched Justice Amy sworn in. All the accolades you have heard about her are true, but in my opinion, the most important thing she does is to take the obnoxious and weasely Chief Justice Roberts out of the “swing vote” seat, effectively neutering him and his grand ideas of his legacy. Planned ahead of time, or merely a by product of the luck of the draw, it works for me. He’s now merely another liberal justice who will be on the losing side most of the time.
Tonight is World Series again. I’m sort of for Tampa Bay, but if LA wins I can go home tomorrow – if TB wins, I stay another day. I got a little grouchy yesterday, and BFF did not hesitate to straighten me right out and get my mind right again. We have some wonderful intellectual discussions and debates, but sometimes she doesn’t appreciate my desires to go off and do something stupid even when I know better. Narrow minded.
OK, I think I just about got all my chores done while I’m up here, so today may be a slow day. You all have a good one, and don’t let the harrycaine get you. I hear that some Gulf Coast residents may be doomed this time. More later.

#11 – Since I have no terrestrial TV or cable type hookup, everything I watch comes off the Roku. I watch a lot of “how to” stuff on YouTube as well as some of their WWII movies, etc. I usually get parts or all of the Fox News evening lineup shortly after the show is broadcast. CBSN is pretty good for mainstream news if you feel compelled to watch that sometime, and the Roku Channel itself carries ABC and NBC news casts. You Tube always has numerous sources for the live events such as Trump rallies, Senate hearings, and the like. About the only thing I miss is live college sports. One of my foundational principles is that I will not pay extra to watch something on TV. Now by default, I get the Amazon Prime stuff, but I seldom turn to it anymore, and I fired Netflix over a year ago. Have fun with you Roku channels.

I just talked to Hubby – and we’re canceling our Netflix account.
Between all the other channels, we just don’t need it. I don’t mind paying Pureflix, because I support Christian and family shows. Hubby hasn’t used Neflix in a while, and neither have I.

I’ve heard that joke, but it was set in Mexico.

Joseph Curl on how it really is at SCOTUS everyday.
Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett is the newest member of America’s highest court, and while she will have the weight of the world on her shoulders, she’s got three other jobs as the junior justice: note-taking, answering the door, and sitting on the court’s cafeteria committee.
ACB may be opening that door for a long time. Gorsuch and Kavanaugh got lucky in that respect.
That’s right, the junior justice takes all the notes and answers the door. When they’re all in the conference room — which Justice Elena Kagan calls the “real inner sanctum” — there are two doors. Kagan said there are no exceptions to the rule of who answers the door.
“Literally, if I’m like in the middle of a sentence — let’s say it’s my turn to speak or something — and there’s a knock on the door, everybody will just stare at me, waiting for me to open the door,” Kagan told The Washington Post. “It’s like a form of hazing. So, that’s what I do, I open the door. Pronto.”
plus,
The court watcher said: “Kagan brought us frozen yogurt, while Kavanaugh brought us pizza.” This past July, the Wall Street Journal ran a piece headlined “Supreme Court’s Junior Justice Has to Run the Cafeteria. Don’t Eat There.”

The nine justices are operating remotely via some software like Zoom right now. I was wondering how they will handle the swearing-in ceremony at SCOTUS for Barrett. Amy Howe, who used to run SCOTUSblog, posted this:
#SCOTUS announces that Chief Justice John Roberts will administer judicial oath to Amy Coney Barrett in a private ceremony at the Court tomorrow. After she takes that oath, she can begin work. Formal investiture to follow at a later date.
-
#21 – Hey, Breyer is 82 years old or so. That spot could open up at any time.
And Sotomeyer has real bad diabetes I hear. There are still reasonable possibilities.

Amy Howe writing from the Supreme Court Building on November 8, 2018. It was the historic investiture ceremony held for each new justice.
Many (if not all) of the judges of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, where Kavanaugh was a judge until recently, are in attendance, sitting in the front row of the public section. The group includes Merrick Garland, who was nominated in 2016 by President Barack Obama to fill the seat that Gorsuch now holds.
Sitting several rows ahead of Garland is Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, who famously refused to hold a hearing for Garland. McConnell is accompanied by his wife, Elaine Chao, the Secretary of Transportation.
Senator Lindsay Graham, a staunch defender of Kavanaugh during Kavanaugh’s Senate confirmation hearings, is also in attendance, as is former White House counsel Don McGahn.
Two of the more interesting and notable things that happened that day.
Shortly before the ceremony begins, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders is escorted to one of the seats normally reserved for lawyers. Sanders, whose relationship with the press has sometimes been contentious, does not follow the example set by her predecessor, Sean Spicer, who sat with reporters in the press section during the Gorsuch investiture.
I don’t blame Sanders. I wouldn’t want to sit those creeps either.
Kavanaugh’s investiture ceremony differs from Gorsuch’s in one other way: It is a lovely fall day in Washington, but Kavanaugh did not make the traditional walk down the front steps of the Supreme Court building. In a statement issued last week, the court’s press office indicated that there would not be any opportunities for the press to take photos today; according to Bloomberg’s Greg Stohr, Kathleen Arberg, the chief public information officer at the court, said that the decision not to include the walk was made out of an “abundance of caution due to security concerns.”
The Left ruins everything it touches.

The penalty for shoplifting is a “nonviolent misdemeanor” that carries a maximum sentence of 6 months. But in most cases, for simple shoplifting, the criminal is simply released with conditions.
The customer, who lives a block away, said: “I feel sorry for the clerks, they are regularly being verbally assaulted. The clerks say there is nothing they can do. They say Walgreens’ policy is to not get involved. They don’t want anyone getting injured or getting sued, so the guys just keep coming in and taking whatever they want.”
When the Chronicle went to visit the store, they noticed “aisle after aisle of near empty shelves” and said that beauty products seemed to be a favored target. While the Chronicle was in the store, a man with a mask on walked in, emptied two shelves into a bag and walked out the door.
When they asked a clerk where all the products were, the clerk responded: “Go ask the people in the alleys, they have it all.”
Walgreen corporate commented: “Organized retail crime in San Francisco has increased the challenge for all retail, and Walgreens is not immune to that.”

Florida State University’s student-run Supreme Court has ordered the student senate to reinstate its former president Jack Denton, who was ousted for expressing his Catholic beliefs in a private group chat.
After Denton sued the school in September, a U.S. district judge ruled that the university was under no obligation to reinstate him to his role. But the student Supreme Court—whose decisions are binding on the student senate—decided to reinstate him anyway, saying that Denton’s ouster violated the senate’s own First Amendment policies.
“The essential question for this Court is whether a violation of [Denton’s] constitutional rights has taken place,” the court’s decision reads. “We hold that it has.”
Who knew Florida State had a student run Supreme Court with that kind of authority ?

This is one pathetic looking guy.
Cunningham has avoided the media since his disastrous virtual press conference on October 9, in which he repeatedly refused to say whether or not he cheated on his wife with more than one mistress. “I’ve said what I’m gonna say about it,” he said, awkwardly. “I’ve answered the question.” (He hadn’t.)
According to the same website that broke the story of Cunningham’s affair with Arlene Guzman Todd, the candidate isn’t even hiding out in his own basement these days. Cunningham’s wife, Elizabeth, appears to have kicked her husband out of their family home in Raleigh—where Cunningham had sex with his mistress in July—shortly after that embarrassing press conference.
He’s living with his sister and campaigning alone without any family.

All the Left’s worst characteristics wrapped up into one individual thug.
Joseph Brady, legislative director for New York state assemblyman Peter Abbate Jr. (D.), allegedly assaulted the young woman at his residence on Saturday after sending her 16-year-old boyfriend to purchase drugs. The FBI and local authorities searched Brady’s home and said they found narcotics and materials they believe could be used to build a bomb.
Brady joined Abbate’s office after working under former New York City Democratic mayor Mike Bloomberg as a legislative staffer. According to the Times Union, which first reported his arrest, Brady works with local union officials to develop and implement labor legislation.
Law enforcement officials said this weekend they added Brady to a watch list last year after suspecting he was involved in the disappearance of a 42-year-old man, whom they now presume was murdered.
The New York Post reported in 2013 that Brady had used a loophole in state law—while working as Abbate’s staffer—to participate in mixed martial arts fighting, despite the state’s prior prohibition on professional brawls. Brady evaded the law, designating himself as an amateur fighter. The staffer is also allegedly involved in a motorcycle gang connected to the Hells Angels.

Hubby was regaling me with his encounter with Big Customer’s henchman, who was complaining about the placement of the meter boxes. Hubby had to explain why they were located where they were, and why they couldn’t be located where they weren’t. Henchman eventually gave in. As Hubby says, “Everyone knows this is the last job I’m doing for them, so I don’t care if he’s wissed off.” Turns out however, that the plans given to the city don’t match the plans that the GC is using, and the pipe material that is running under the street doesn’t match.
Ouch.
Hubby’s glad we’re not involved in that mess. He’s done what he can do today, and we’ll just have to wait for revised plans to be agreed upon so we can finish.
-
Another problem they’re running into on this job involves the underground water retention “pond”. For some reason, they were unaware of what Hubby calls “sugar sand” in the 13 foot deep excavation area. Hubby’s run into this before, and that stuff doesn’t cake up solid, it just flows like sugar.
It’s running out from under neighboring buildings: a dentist’s office, townhomes, etc.
Holy cow, I can’t even imagine the lawsuits down the road when those foundations shift. So glad we’re just dropping the tap and getting the heckouttathere.

I think one of the best things to happen from this

Good afternoon Hamsters. Light rain here off and on for the past several hours is most welcome. Started up again with some vigor a few minutes ago; currently 63 and breezy, with a murky overcast that seems likely to stay a while.
Plumbers left a few minutes ago after checking out a leaking faucet in the sink in our master bedroom bathroom that was dripping into the cabinet beneath and eventually running out under the door onto the floor. Discovered that yesterday when the rug in front of the cabinet got wet. Must go off to Ferguson’s plumbing supply and get a new faucet for there and for a matching sink in the dressing area next to it. They should be the same. Also need to replace a faucet for the sink in the laundry room that has handles on either side with a single faucet handle that’s much easier to use if you’ve got your hands full. Can turn it off with your elbow if need be. 🙂

Sugar sand is fine if it’s all you have and it is deep and sitting on a solid layer with nowhere to go. Bad things happen when you have sugar sand intermingled with other clay soils where it runs in and out of clay crevices and pockets. If you’re going to build on it, you need to drill some deep piers down to stable strata.

That was quite a performance, and nicely done. 🙂 Who says conservatives are a bunch of old grouches? Besides the Dems and other Lefties, that is. We all know what howls would ensue if The Donald did something like that, how un-Presidential, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. What would be the take if Joe Biden did something like that? On his side, that is. We know what everybody else would think/say, for instance, Where’s the guy with the net?

Somebody get Hannity an inhaler.

I was struck with Bobulinski stating that he had a former Seal Team guarding his family. He said he’d travel for the next few years, alone, if that’s what it took. The man knows the threats against him, and fortunately he has enough money to do what it takes to protect his family.
-
I went to Newsmax to watch the Trump rally.
Hannity would drive me nuts right now.
-
I just finished watching Tuckers show interviewing Tony Bobulinksi. All I can say is MERCY! Scary stuff, the scary part is that none of the Lamestream media will report on any of it. At the end Tucker asks Bobulinksi if he is worried about his or his family’s well being and he said; it’s not about me it’s about this country and my family name being smeared but he did say that his family was not staying at home AND he has a former Seal Team watching out for them. YES! you can bet that he is NOT worried about Arkinside.

Terrestrial radio here is the pits, ONE, yes ONE FM station that has Rush and sadly has Hannity. On Sundays FOR GET IT! Anyway about ever 30 minutes they have a news break and the two different gals that do the news are very enthusiastic, ending each report with “All your news from around the world and around your state, this is the Alabama News Network! Yesterday one of the gals reported, (more than once) that Doug Jones had said that he wouldn’t vote to confirm Amy Barrett because the republicans were pushing her through for strictly partisan reasons and then the gal said, the vote is Constitutional NOT partisan! Now what she said is 100% true but can you imagine any reporter anywhere else Fact Checking what an Idiots says?……Only in Alabama! 😉
