That guy is a nut! But he’s right.
Mornin’ Gang -
From yesterday;
As I look back on my history of presidential votes (Reagan twice, Bush twice, Dole, Shrub twice, McCain, Romney, and Trump twice) I regret all of them but Reagan and Trump. That’s a pretty sad statement on the Republican Party.
I agree but what are you going to do? I held my nose and voted for McCain and Mittens because I couldn’t risk the consequences of Obama. Some hold on to their principles and just not vote and while I understand and respect their opinion I just can’t do it, still can’t. BTW; Both parties know this and after the Deep State anointed the Wooden Dummy for President they knew that they had 40% or so of the electorate sealed. Beg, borrow and steal the rest. ~SIGH~
-
Four years of Bush 41 gave us eight years of Clinton (and nearly four years of his corrupt wife). Eight years of Shrub gave us eight years of Barry. So we ended up losing anyway.
If the Never Trumper Republicans nominate another Jeb! candidate I will not vote for them. I will vote for a suitable third party candidate.
Oh, I have a correction to make. I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016. I voted for Darrell Castle of the Constitution Party. I felt Trump was an unknown quantity and knew that he would carry Texas without my vote. Within a couple of months after inauguration I threw my support behind Trump, then gladly voted for him in 2020.
-
In 2016 I walked into the polls with the intent to vote for the Libertarian Gary Johnson. For some reason at the last minute, I selected Donald Trump. The only time I voted for the third party candidate was mister big ears himself, Ross Perot.
Note: Do not confuse Big Ears with Jug Ears.

Re: my last post from yesterday
Yeah, I figgered it’d be weird. The link was sent to me by a friend who’s son-in-law has, I believe, fostered in her a belief in chemtrails and other things similar.I was highly hesitant to watch the video, but when I hit that “this is how you count COVID cases” – I thought that part was true. We know that hospitals have been counting hangnails as part of their WLR counts if at all possible.
-
I voted for Trump because I have a visceral hatred for that EVIL Witch Hillery. I think I’d have voted for Al Sharpton instead of letting her in the White House. That said, I did like what Trump was saying but wasn’t sure I could trust him since he was a New York Democrat or I assumed. He turned out much better than expected, he tried his best to keep his promises something unusual for the DC Swamp.

Coffee & Covid ☙ Monday, September 27, 2021 ☙ Injections and All-Cause Mortality
Happy Monday, C&C fans. Today’s roundup includes a personal report from the front in the mandate wars, New York teachers get a short reprieve and are headed for a full injunction, The Times reports an unsurprising but still disappointing development from Harvard, Uttar Pradesh has reached Covid Zero, but not in the expected manner, we look at a shocking statistical analysis of all-cause mortality from Great Britain that compares the injected to the un-injected, developments in Florida case counts, Canada reveals Covid plans for … 2024?, and I share one of my favorite tweets.
*********************
*COVID NEWS AND COMMENTARY*Our victory last week against the City of Gainesville’s loathsome injection ultimatum has, as we expected, sent shock waves around the state.
In one of my favorite headlines reporting on our lawsuit, Reuters marvelously mentioned one of my most cherished words right in the headline: “Cops, firefighters challenge Gainesville’s ‘odious’ vaccine mandate.”
Read the short article. Reuters unexpectedly played it straight and even explained my arguments without mischaracterization, unlike some others: https://tinyurl.com/u48pjdkb.
Over the last few days, I’ve received countless messages, videos, and comments of thanks from people around the state who don’t necessarily oppose the injections, but are steadfastly against MANDATES. One told me that he’d been fully injected, but is grateful for all the un-injected folks who are holding the lines against overbearing government pressure to comply. These messages of gratitude and hope are the most encouraging thing about this job. Honestly, while we’ve helped lots of folks over the years, nothing I’ve ever done in my career has been anything like THIS. It makes me profoundly grateful to be a lawyer who COULD help at a time like this.
Life’s been kind of surreal since the order came down. Just over the last few days, I’ve been asked to give dozens of interviews with local media and podcasters from around the country, including such far-off states as Wisconsin and California. I have two more interviews to do just today, and more through the week. I’ve also done three interviews with international media, including an Australian documentary producer. But no U.S. national media. Isn’t that weird?
But even more importantly, I’ve been assisting other attorneys fighting the mandates in other places throughout the state, like Rachel Rodriguez, the attorney representing Orange County firefighters. After our hearing with the City of Gainesville last week, Orange County’s mayor took the “termination” option off the table, reducing that county’s mandate’s consequence to a write up in the employee’s file. It will affect future promotions and so forth, so it is still pretty malodorous. The new Orange County injection policy is also coercive, and therefore unconstitutional, but it’s something we can undo later. [Finally, an army of lawyers I can feel good about!]
If schools and counties really wanted to address the “spread” of the virus, they should focus on improving indoor air quality instead of mandating masks and drugs. I spoke recently to the owner of a fantastic local 80,000-square-foot gym who implemented anti-viral air handling techniques. He says the health club has never had an outbreak. Not one. Even the injections don’t work that well. So. The focus should be on things the local governments and employers CAN control. They need to stop trying to control people and control the work environment instead.
But it’s CHEAPER to boss people around than it is to buy virus-killing equipment for air conditioning systems. That’s the problem.I — and my clients — are indescribably grateful to all the outpouring of hope and encouragement from around the country.
***************************************Reuters reported Friday that New York City school teachers got a brief reprieve from a federal court so that they can head for a full injunction hearing over the City’s vaccine mandate for school employees. Late Friday, a federal judge gave the teachers and employees a short temporary injunction through this Wednesday, when it will fully hear the teachers’ motion for a normal temporary injunction. Tomorrow would have been the original deadline for the teachers to be fully vaccinated.
The four teacher plaintiffs challenged the vaccine mandate on September 15 in a civil complaint filed in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn, arguing they stand to lose their jobs, benefits and seniority if they refuse to be treated like cattle. “Such an ongoing, draconian punishment shocks the conscience, violates constitutional rights, and not only should not be permitted, but must be restrained immediately to prevent irreparable harm,” they argued in their injunction motion.
*********************************
The New York Times reported that Harvard’s organization of chaplains just elected an atheist as its new president. Make sense. He’ll counsel all the Harvard believers using … um … things and stuff. God-denier Greg Epstein says he identifies as a “spiritual atheist,” whatever that is. I can’t wait to hear his opening prayer as he takes office. It’ll be awesome. [I wonder what kind of “prayer” an atheist can/will give? Will he “pray” to himself? Who thought an atheist would be a good chaplain? Oh, we’re talking Ivy Leaguers….I just answered my question. Money does not equal common sense.]
******************************
Uttar Pradesh, a gigantic state in India with 241 million residents — about two-thirds of the U.S.’s population — is now seeing Covid cases (only 172 of them) at effectively zero given its population. Covid ZERO! Success! It’s not because of any lack of testing — Uttar Pradesh has a massive testing regime. Oddly, only 5% of its population has been given Covid injections. The Indian state has also been completely open since June. There are nearly no Covid patients in its hospitals.
The only thing I can think of to explain this Covid zero success story is that, despite objections and criticism from the W.H.O., Uttar Pradesh has been quietly pursuing a policy of Ivermectin prophylaxis. You don’t think THAT could have anything to do with it, do you? Never mind, stupid idea.********************************
Our World In Data’s Covid-19 Explorer reports this morning that Israel — with the highest vaccination rate of any major country — is at the TOP of the chart for daily new cases per million residents. It’s not even close. Israel’s rate of new cases, 1,891 per million, is three times the US’s rate of 606. The next highest compared to Israel is Mongolia with 1,119 cases.In late August, the New York Times reported that in Mongolia’s capital, 97% of the adult population has had at least one injection and 68% are “fully” injected.
So. The Covid injections are working great. Well, that is, if great means “not so great.” The data suggests that Covid appears to be spreading faster in high-injection countries. Much faster.
[Does anyone know of a country that is encouraging pharmaceutical treatments such as HCQ/Ivermectin in addition to the jab? I’m curious to see how those numbers fall.]
Had there been ANY highly-injected country that was doing well, we’d be hearing about it in wall-to-wall, 24×7 media coverage. So we can safely assume that such a country does not exist. We’ve seen this before; during the mass mask hysteria of mid-2020, we waited impatiently for the mask success stories to land. They never did. So, where are all the injection success stories? Lost in the mail? Fell into the couch cushions? Were they accidentally left on the car roof when the reporters drove off? Maybe the reporters should try remembering the last place they had them. That works for me sometimes.**************************************
Two UK professors, one a Risk Management specialist and the other a Statistics professor, recently published a paper titled “A comparison of age adjusted all-cause mortality rates in England between vaccinated and unvaccinated.” It’s not good.
When they examined “all cause mortality” for British residents, including ALL people who’ve received a Covid injection, regardless of how many doses or WHEN they got the jabs, they discovered an alarming trend. All-cause mortality appears to be rising among the injected group compared to the un-injected. They state: “It turns out that, even using this age adjusted mortality rate, the death rate is currently higher among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated.”
Ruh-roh.
Analyzing all-cause mortality bypasses the problem of defining what constitutes a “case” or a “Covid-related death.” The authors point out that, if Covid is as dangerous as claimed, and if the injections are as effective as claimed, we SHOULD have seen many more all-cause deaths among the un-injected in each age group. In other words, the count of all-cause deaths should be higher among the un-injected, confirming that the benefits of the Covid injections outweigh the risks.The professors included some helpful charts.
The first chart shows “that, over time, the weighted mortality rate for the vaccinated has steadily increased and by week 16 (23 April 2021), surpassed that for the unvaccinated.” Oh.
see his original post for the charts
The second chart shows “the pattern for the vaccinated is completely different [from the un-injected]. From week 24 onwards the mortality rates for the vaccinated and unvaccinated appear to be converging as summer begins.”
********
The third chart shows “the mortality rate, for week 26, up to 2 July, for the unvaccinated is around 25 deaths per 100,000. But there are big differences between the mortality rates for the different categories of vaccinated deaths. For example, for those after 21 days of first dose, the comparable mortality is around 89 deaths per 100,000 people (a number which has drastically increased since January), while for those vaccinated with two doses there were approximately 15 deaths per 100,000 in the same July period.”
********
So … 25 deaths per 100K for un-injected versus 89 deaths per 100K for folks 21 days after their injections. That seems like a big difference.
*******
The professors identified an alarming trend: “The trends for the different vaccination categories are also concerning. In contrast to the unvaccinated, the mortality rates for the vaccinated have increased from very low initial values, but then have increased, whilst that for the unvaccinated has decreased.”Seems like those numbers might be headed in the wrong directions. Just saying.
They concluded: “Since 19 March, the double dose vaccination mortality rate has increased week-on-week more or less consistently. The mortality rate for those more than 21 days after first dose increased drastically in the spring (at week 14) and remained high thereafter.”So. It’s going great. Thanks, experts.
********************************************************
Cases in Florida are now down -75.3% in just forty-five days, and are well below the national average. With zero change in statewide policy, mandates, or new interventions. So. Weird.
************************************************
Canada’s oily prime minister who survived a black-face expose — Justin Trudeau — announced yesterday that, “We’ve reached an agreement with Pfizer … This deal includes options to add 30 million doses in both 2022 and 2023, and an option for 60 million in 2024.” Note how the number of doses DOUBLES in 2024.
2024! That’s over two years away. I wonder what they’re expecting to happen?
*********************************************
Just for fun, this favorite tweet keeps popping up in different places in my feed, so I thought I’d share it for you non-Twitterers. Note, of COURSE this is a parody:
> “My son woke up with a scratchy throat today and I’m really angry about it because not many people are wearing masks and nobody is wearing well-fitting N95s people are so selfish and it went away after breakfast and he’s fine now but do you know what we’ve been through”

…and we still have hundreds, if not thousands, of folks abandoned in Afghanistan.
Never forget.

Over the past 70 years the public health establishment in Anglophone countries has issued a number of diet rules, their common thread being that the natural ingredients populations all around the world have eaten for millennia – meat, dairy, eggs and more – and certain components of these foods, notably saturated fat, are dangerous for human health.
The consequences of these diet ordinances are all around us: 60% of Britons are now overweight or obese, and the country’s metabolic health has never been worse.
Government-led lack of trust in the healthfulness of whole foods in their natural forms encouraged us to buy foods that have been physically and chemically modified, such as salt-reduced cheese and skimmed milk, supposedly to make them healthier for us.
No wonder that more than 50% of the food we eat in the UK is now ultra-processed.
Uh-oh !!!
How embarrassing, then, for government dietetic gurus, that a major study of 4,150 Swedes, followed over 16 years, has last week reported that a diet rich in dairy fat may lower, not raise your risk of cardiovascular disease.
This Swedish study echoes the findings of a 2018 meta-analysis of 29 previous studies, which also found that consumption of dairy products protects against heart disease and stroke.
A body of research also suggests that consumption of dairy fat is protective against type 2 diabetes.

Ed Driscoll posted this 2008 link as a followup:
IN 1966, the price of eggs rose to a level that President Lyndon Johnson judged, God knows how, was too high. There were two culprits – supply and demand – and Johnson’s agriculture secretary told him there was not much that could be done. LBJ, however, was a can-do fellow who directed the US surgeon general to dampen demand by warning the nation about the hazards of cholesterol in eggs.
Johnson, the last president with a direct connection to Franklin Roosevelt, was picked by FDR in 1935 to be Texas director of the New Deal’s National Youth Administration. Two years later, Johnson came to Congress, a rung on the ladder that led to glory as Egg Czar. Today, with Washington experiencing a Roosevelt revival, Johnson’s spirit, too, goes marching on as the federal government permeates the economy with politics.
Hah ! Fooled you. You thought it was all about science.

Follow the money – Pfizer, Moderna to make billions off of the booster shots.
Instead of allowing the virus to mutate down into something like the “annual” flu – it could still kill, just like the flu, but it would be a manageable and highly survivable virus – they want to keep pushing its evolution with constant “boosters”.
Fill those coffers! And coffins!
And our immune systems will be systematically made less able to fight off the WLR as constant “tweaks” are made to our systems.
I consider events like the Spanish flu, which wiped out millions but which were overcome. (Sunlight was a big part of that treatment, btw. There are pictures of cots out in the sunshine, allowing the patients to absorb those healing rays.) We didn’t have the instant, inter/national media back then. I’m sure there was considerable fear back then, but how much has our social media technology affected our behavior this time around?
I’m talking about the screening out dissenting voices. Suppressing facts and information that don’t toe the party line. Hiding data that would hurt the liberal establishment. And the stoking of fear by constantly having the metaphorical screaming in the country’s collective face about how WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!!! if you don’t get the shot. Because we haven’t been told anything other than “the shot will save our lives!” and nothing else will work.
How would the Spanish flu have been handled, had they had Tech Overlords in charge of their information flow?

Morning gang. Done with coffee and ready to start the work day here shortly. I’m going to go ahead and drill wall hole #2 and hopefully get the second set of electrical generator connectors installed. I tested out the #1 installation this morning by connecting the extension cord to the new installation, and there was no sparking, no smoke, no buzzing, etc. and the shop light that I had plugged in to the new outlet and hung in the window lit up, so that’s good enough proof for me that it’s operative and safe. Once I finally get going on hole #2, look out ’cause I think I know what I’m doing this time.
In other news, I’m pretty well blocking out everything else these days. Just to top this all off, I’m still trying to set-up and learn how to use an obsolete, cheap smart phone since they obsoleted my faithful flip phone that has served me so well for many years. That’s what I’m studying in my spare time right now when I take a break from real work.
You all have a great day, and more later as it develops.

HEADLINE: The Symptoms of Our Insanity
Think for a minute.When did we become a nation of socialist AOCs wearing “Tax the Rich” dresses to $35,000-a-ticket celebrity galas, without mandatory masks, while being served by masked servants—a now tired script from the Obama birthday bash crowd to the grandees at the Emmys?
When did we discover that we must listen to oppressed billionaire Oprah from her $90 million Montecito estate commiserating with a billionaire Lebron or royal Meghan Markle about the racist white establishment? Is there anyone in the recent Washington intelligence and investigatory hierarchy who has not lied or feigned loss of memory under oath—a low bar that nevertheless excludes, among others, John Brennan, James Clapper, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Robert Mueller, or Peter Strzok?
Victor Davis Hanson is always worth the read and the above is no exception.

Whew. Been cutting on that hole in the brick for just over an hour now, and I’ve got just about “that much” left to go. I’m thinking that I’ve just about worn all the abrasive off the cheap azzed bit that I’m using, but hopefully it’s got enough teeth left in it to go that extra 1/8th inch or whatever it is. Afraid to just hammer that last little section out because I don’t want to crack the entire brick. But my arms are tired from holding that drill, and my feet are tired of holding my fat azz up on that ladder, so all that adds up to break time. Every time here lately that I decide to gut it up and work through it I wind up screwing something up, so I’ve finally learned to listen to my body and sit down when it tells me to. So, a big glass of ice water and a big sit down it is for now.
When I put the new door on a few months ago, they buggered up the exterior frame a little bit, so I need to paint that frame. I’ve been putting that off in search of more moderate temps, and the moderate temps are here, so that paint job goes on the todo list now.
Just keep reminding myself that drilling in brick takes time, use plenty of water to keep the bit cool and help it cut better, and let it happen. I’ve always heard to let the tool do the work, but I tried sitting in here drinking water but that tool just won’t do anything without supervision.
-
OK, to quote Mike Patey, back to work.
-
OK, went back out all refreshed (well somewhat refreshed), watered down the brick and the bit, started drilling again and broke through in about 30 seconds. Another 30 seconds to change bits and punch a hole through the insulation, and the hole is complete. How about that, and it’s even straight and true. Now I can start on the delicate procedure of wiring. But first, more water.

That is an interesting essay. After a quick read/skim I can’t say I agree with all his conclusions, but he makes some compelling arguments.
It is really nice to have those 27 pages of COVID links all in one place though. I’m definitely saving it for reference.

I’m in the same spot as y’all on it. Good reference, but he does veer off into the weeds with the graphene oxide stuff (for example). I wish people could just leave well enough alone with presenting facts and stay away from the sensationalism. Especially in this case truth is stranger than fiction.

More SCIENCE ! OMG, we’re all going to die !
Underneath reactor 4 there is still nuclear fuel that is active and which will take around 20,000 years for it to deplete. The uranium is too radioactive for anyone to live in the city and since the incident, the European Union had created a shield around the reactor which should not allow for the radioactive rays to come out.
However, many other parts around Chernobyl have also been affected due to prolonged exposure, some more than others, and many of them have not been contained as they were not presenting any major radioactive activity until now. Neil Hyatt, a nuclear chemist from the University of Sheffield had mentioned that there is a possibility for the uranium fuel to reignite on its own.
Hyatt also offered a simple explanation on how this is possible, just like charcoal can reignite in a barbeque, so can nuclear materials that have once been ignited. He as well as a handful of nuclear chemists have mentioned previously the possibility of the uranium from Chernobyl to reignite, but the scientists from Ukraine that are responsible for managing the nuclear activity within the vicinity never really listened, until now.
Hunter Biden has got to be involved here.

#17 Is a wealth of information. Information that the big gov’t lefty moonbatschizzle drones will not like one bit.
I would love to believe that there will finally be an awakening such that people will realize that the federal govt does not care one whit about ‘the ‘rona’ or the health of the people. They only are using WLR as a vehicle to strip our freedoms and aggregate power unto themselves. Ditto that with the global cooling/ global warming/ global climate change. Ditto that with acid rain, spotted owls can only nest in old growth trees, the delta smelt, wetlands, the food pyramid, etc.
Whenever the govt is actively promoting something 2 things are happening:
1) A well connected group is going to get very rich
2) Freedom for the people will decrease
3) Taxes are likely to go up
4) Power to unelected bureaucrats will increase
5) The supposed target of the activity will not be changed -

Why (he asks rhetorically) is the Spartacus letter being taken down so quickly? Are the evil slimelords who foisted the WLR on the world starting to feel a bit . . . . .exposed?
What is happening in Australia is frightening, the cops are shooting rubber bullets at the backs of those running away, stealing phones from the elderly who are recording the abuse of the police, and basically installing the totalitarian tyranny over the populace. -
Done for the day on the electrical project. I didn’t leave myself enough wire length to operate like I normally would like, so I’m going to have to start fresh with a little delicate touch to get the outside properly wired. Once in place, the wires are not tight or stretched, but I would normally like to leave a little more operating room in there.
After all this effort, I’m seeing that Amazon has a 30 amp twist on outdoor steel, waterproof box for $30. Everything I’ve got is all 15 amp, which is why I’m having to do 2 generators and 2 receptacle boxes, etc. If I were starting from scratch, I think I would go with one of the larger generators (Harbor Freight has a new line of Predator inverter, clean sine wave generators that are high powered, and I would most certainly be looking in to one of those if I didn’t already have all this older stuff. Of course, with the 30 amp set up, you need a special cord (not cheap) and more advanced wiring than I’m capable of. Betcha Dave can do it though.
Anyway, I’m pretty satisfied with the way this set-up is going to turn out, and if the next owners want to convert it, it will be simple enough to remove my installation and use their stuff. Cutting the holes was the hard part. BTW, long as I’m on this topic, Let’s talk about placement of these devices. I sit on top of a little hill up here, with the front of the house facing due south and of course the back of the house facing due north. Prevailing winds are always prevailing up here – almost like living right on the waterfront. SE at 15 or so most of the year, NW when the blue northers blow down. The foundation is pier and beam with a raised floor and underneath crawl space. Why does any of that matter you ask? Well, I studied up on the carbon monoxide emissions, and concluded that if I placed the generators on the north side of the house, there would be a risk of CO collecting underneath the house in the crawl space and seeping inside. I really don’t expect to need to drag all that stuff out during the spring, summer and fall months, and my best point of entry for limited extension cord use is on the westerly facing end of the house which is where the kitchen and a store room are located – shortest distance to the refrigerator and freezer if you get my drift. So by placing the generators on the westerly side of the house, the winter winds should blow the exhaust directly past the house and into the atmosphere to the south, without risk of collection of CO at any point. And if I have to use them when the winds are from the SE, the westerly side is protected from the winds and the CO will just dissipate without being directed toward the house. I did not take in to account the Coriolis effect, the possibility of a pole shift in the Earth’s magnetic fields, sun spots, climate change, or the possibility of contracting COVID in my analysis like Dave and TexMo would probably do. So I’m retaining my amateur status for sure.
I feel a nap coming on. More later.

Good evening fellow Hamsters,
Just slogged through all of the Spartacus Letter. Agree with Texpat’s view. Most interesting piece that one could benefit by having a Master’s Degree in human chemistry to fully compute what is written. But there is indeed intrigue in there, and if even half of it is true lots of somebodies are in deep trouble and could be sinking fast.

If I quit serving potatoes around here, Fay would be out there on HWy36, leaning against her walker and thumbing a ride to Lord knows where.
Showing a little leg.

Some people out there need to be eating lots of potatoes and lots of ice cream and such. I’m just not one of them. Sort of the same with alcoholic beverages. A lot of people out there can imbibe without a problem. I’m not one of those either.

The only time potatoes get eaten around this place is when I get weak every eight weeks or so and go buy hamburgers and fries at Five Guys. Otherwise, they don’t show up in the menu here.

Well I’ll be.
Someone mentioned rice.
I could live without potatoes as long as I had rice.
But Fay isn’t fond of rice.
And see #52.
33 years of having to beg for rice. So sad.
-
I ate anything and everything I ever wanted my entire life until I turned 55 and then it was like a breaker kicked on my metabolism. My life and diet changed that quick.

#52 #62 That could be
meus I love rice and taters but the wife is a smashed tater junky, she likes rice but not like I do. She does love my Spanish rice though. -
Speaking of Zebco 404’s I got my wife a 33 for her birthday next month, don’t laugh it’s a durable little reel that is EASY to use, she has trouble with a Mitchell open face. That said, she has decided that she likes a cane pole.

Shannon and I grew up in the golden era of rice production in the Texas Coastal Bend. Rice was a staple in most homes. Rice pudding and rice with brown gravy at our grandparents’ home was a regular thing. Uncle Ben’s and the other household brands all came out of Houston in those days and spread across the country. Rice consumption in America has diminished from where it used to be and would be worse if not for immigrants.

I love rice but nobody around here wants to eat it except me.

For many years there was an interesting store in downtown Sealy. Kind of a combination gun store, general store, hardware store, army surplus. The little old man who ran it spoke broken English because he probably grew up in a home where it wasn’t spoken. Czech, Polish, or German. Or a combination.
He sold the finest old cane poles that money could buy. Relatively expensive. But the real deal.
Then his supplier died or the supply dried up altogether. They were from out of state. I vaguely remember doing some research on the loss of this particular strain of poles.
Anyway, it’s an early memory, standing in that classic, dusty old store, looking up at all those poles in the rack hanging from the ceiling.

Getting about time for me to turn in. Been plowing through all my junk trying to find my chisels. I’ve got a pack of them somewhere, but not certain where they are. Guess I’ll probably find them in the very last place I look eventually.
Meanwhile, you all have a good evening. Nite, nite.

Those poles were heavy. When new, a ten footer would be too heavy for a small boy. They’d last for years just lying outside.
Longer if barn-stored.

Ah. The ever-elusive cold chisel that you used fifteen years ago.
Super Dave’s are all organized by descending size on the peg board on the wall. In those special chisel peg holders. Clean too.

And sharp, of course.

I had a chisel once. It made for a crappy screwdriver, so I tossed it.

I remember that place well. There was another similar hardware/dry goods store in Hempstead back many years ago.

Yeah. You really need to use a fine wood chisel for a screwdriver. -
Time to turn in for the night at our place. Purrscilla kitty has her treats and dry cat food to hold her until breakfast. And this is one of those nights when we miss going out the the barn for bed check and giving the two mares their hay for the night. Those remembrances steadily come fewer and farther between but pop up every so often. Good night all.

OK, it’s Tuesday time to get moving.
Mornin’ Gang -
I’m up and at ’em this morning. This may have been posted before, but if not, enjoy – if you’ve already seen it, enjoy it again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmJ0HDbZi5M&t=200s

Mornin’ El Gordo, That’s funny right there.

Izzit still Monday?
I would like to formally register my disapproval of having 2 Mondays in one week; one is enough!
-
Texpat, if you are around and so inclined, would you be so kind as to make a post of all 27 pages of links? I did not get to download that part of the article. Perhaps this would be a good side-bar post so that they would always be readily available.

Agree that one Monday per week is plenty. On the non-keto front, any rice in our house is just about guaranteed to be Doguet’s. Mrs. Dooood grew up in Beaumont within walking distance of the mill, so we like to support local any time possible.

Tuesday thread is up. Don’t know why it didn’t pop up at midnight…

I like the long grain and wild rice mixture. Add butter to a pot and caramelize onion in it over medium high heat. Add the rice and stir until the grains start to change. Slowly add chicken stock, just a little at a time, stirring constantly making sure that the pot is deglazed. Once about half or 3/4 of the stock is added, dump the rest and cover until done. Be sure to check a couple of times and add some water if necessary.
DO NOT LET THE RICE STICK AND BURN ON THE BOTTOM OF THE POT
It takes a very strong will power to not get seconds of this rice.
