That old boy is Floyd from Yellowstone he’s a great character but I don’t know his name. BTW; I love the 54 Chevy Truck. 😉
Well we have some rain heading this way, finally we need it. We’ll a a little, off N on today but the front will come thorough about 9 PM and it should be a thunder boomer.Mornin Gang

SuperDave – it’s dripping here in the woods so there is still rain to be had… Oh – Good Morning Gang!!!

So Mr Correa agreed to a 13 year $350 mil contract – too bad it’s with the SF Giants….

Spotted over yonder; U Tube Certified Master Mechanic.
My comment;
Took me a second but my boy got certified with them. 😀 The motor mount went out on his His Cadillac CTS V and the dealership wanted about $1K to repair it with factory components, He bought Moog motor mounts for about $200 bucks, cheaper and better than stock. He watched U Tube and started work. 6 hours later and a coupe more quick views he was done. He saved $800, had better than factory mounts, was quite proud of himself and so was I. 😉

Thinking about putting a couple of Bambi Round steaks in the Crock Pot today. I bought Russet taters yesterday so smashed taters would go good with the gravy. I usually have some sort of taters in the pantry but I don’t cook them as often and sometimes have to pop the sprouts off them so when I run out I usually wait until I need them to restock. They are still reasonable but that’s at 3 times pre-COVID prices.

Tucker Carlson: “[Elon Musk] now has control of the most significant trove of secret information ever to reside in private hands.”
If you didn’t see Tucker Carlson last night, this was the most important thing he said last night. The war against Elon will become much more furious because he now holds an Ace High hand and he’s playing for keeps. May God bless and protect him.

I hear the Journalist Grant Wahl, who died suddenly and unexpectedly in Qatar, had an aortic aneurysm.
So, it wasn’t the jab. I haven’t hear of aortic aneurysms being a side effect. Those things run in my father’s family. I get sonograms when I can to make sure I don’t have what killed Grandpa and my uncle. I’m all good.
So, RIP Mr. Wahl.

Got my pre-op appointment set up. I think I’m almost through my pre-op checklist. Little things, like getting easy slide glides for the two chairs I think I’ll be using, to make it easier to move them without engaging muscles I shouldn’t be engaging for a few weeks. Getting “easy” food in place for Hubby. Putting together my after surgery care box, including large dressings, tape, etc. Making sure I have enough waist high surfaces around me so I don’t have to bend over. My grabber for things I drop on the floor. I ordered a device to help me with personal hygiene on the toilet. I also ordered bleach wipes for Hubby to use in my hospital room.
There was some guest host on Rush’s radio show years ago – Lucy Ann? – who’s main focus was reducing hospital infections. Her point of using bleach wipes on every surface in the hospital room stuck with me. Her statistics were that doing that reduced the chance of post op infection by 94%. When Hubby was in the hospital with a gnarly knee infection for several days, the first thing I did (after kissing him, of course) was to wipe down everything in his room: bed rails, TV control, bedside table, EVERYTHING in the bathroom (with special care to every handle and grab bar), the door handle to his room. Excepting the floor itself, it all got wiped down. Every time I visited him over the next few days.
So, I have some packages of bleach wipes, and I will be giving Hubby the evil eye until he repeats my actions when it’s my turn in the hospital bed.

The next time I hear some woman whining in public about the “sexual objectification” of women, I will begin laughing uncontrollably. It seems these days as if every former starlet and celebrity female over the age of 50 is parading online in the nude or near nude in desperate pleas for attention. Heidi Klum, Elizabeth Hurley, Elle McPherson and many others including now Monica Bellucci.
Everyday, Britney Spears pathetically appears now on some social media platform without any clothes running around the internet like some 2 year old casting off her clothes in glee. The rest of the Hollywood Glitterati Girls are strutting down red carpets at endless gala events in g-strings and transparent excuses for gowns when they’re not working the casting couches. The younger generations of women are either on TikTok in various stages of undress or going for cold cash on OnlyFans. I’m almost embarrassed for these people so don’t they dare to lecture me or any other man about being objectified. No one can take them seriously. The sanctimonious lecturers look like foolish idiots.

Good Morning Hamsters,
Very breezy, overcast, and the 62 at 6am has dropped to 61, so the front is passing through. Millions more leaves are flying about, some acorns flying also and hitting the roof of the garden room, which is metal and makes a loud thunk when acorns hit it.
It appears that Mr. Musk’s acquisition of Twitter is bearing fruit in all its juicy behind the scenes info that Democrat/Socialists who used it are now in great panic mode over. Mr. Musk is a patriot, so lead on, sir. He is giving Americans a marvelous Christmas gift that apparently will keep on giving for some time. 🙂

Morning gang. Got up a little late this morning and had to run right out to the TOK. Nice group there this morning. Good conversations but no real newsworthy items to report on. I’m thinking that today will be another cabbage soup preparation day. Got all the fixin’s yesterday, so it’s just a matter of chopping and sauteeing and chopping some more and cooking, etc. I prefer making everything in the Instapot, but the volume has grown to the point that I have to cook the final product on the stove in a big dutch oven. I can then freeze smaller portions for later use as needed. This stuff sounds bad when you list the ingredients, but it tastes surprisingly good. I’ve got some chicken legs thawing that I will pressure cook and debone to add to the mix toward the end. Cooking them straight from the freezer in the Instapot is no problem, I just leave them in the pot a couple minutes longer than normal. And of course the left over broth goes into the soup as well.
Bright and sunny but cooler day out here today. The bright sunshine still bothers my eyes, so I’ll be staying in to the extent possible. I need to refill the bird feeder and the water trough today too. You all have a great day. More later.

Glad to see you did not scroll around in that story and see the Madonna gross out.

12 Squawk
I saw that link early this morning and refused to click on it. Since she first showed up, I considered Madonna to be a serious moral nuisance. I’m no prude and unapologetically admire a beautiful woman like any normal, heterosexual man, but Madonna took white trash bad taste and turned into a mini-industry. She’s just disgusting. I don’t have any patience for entertainers who build their careers on trashing and mocking their own family’s religion.

I’m leaving to go back up to Ramapo Mountain and oversee the plumbing project this afternoon. Hopefully, they’ll finish it up by the end of the day because tomorrow and Friday are rain, sleet and maybe a little snow.

I’m making a cultural and moral observation about the state of our society. I don’t understand what “looking without looking at them” means or has to do with what I wrote.I was commenting on the fact that they parade around, wanting folks to look at them while acting offended that people are looking at them (objectifying them).
As a man, you are supposed to see the sexual parade while pretending it doesn’t exist (not looking at them).

Today’s C&C:
INFLECTION ☙ Wednesday, December 14, 2022 ☙ C&C NEWS
Childers is all giddy over DeSantis finally beginning to call for accountability. I suppose all of those volunteer C&Cers helping him create that database will finally see their had work being used.
Today might be the most important day since the pandemic leaked out of the Wuhan lab. Florida just shifted Covid Accountability into high gear.
It’s here! Today is the day we’ve spent two years praying for. I couldn’t possibly exaggerate the significance of what happened in Florida yesterday.
/snip
In case you missed all the hoopla yesterday, and somehow overlooked the ultra-rare C&C Breaking News alert (shame on you), yesterday Governor DeSantis hosted the scientific roundtable we’ve been fervently praying for. The short version is, Florida is about to do four incredibly significant things:
- Convene a statewide criminal Grand Jury to investigate crimes and fraud committed against Floridians related to the covid-19 vaccines. I am NOT making that up!
- Establish a “Public Health Integrity Committee,”… In other words, we’re not slavishly following the CDC anymore.
- Work with medical examiners to study autopsy results of all Floridians who died suddenly after receiving the covid-19 vaccine. …..
- Introduce a new bill over the next few weeks designed to protect physicians’ independent judgment, their First Amendment rights, and their independent right to dissent from orthodox narratives.
Here is the link to the round table discussion: https://twitter.com/GovRonDeSantis/status/1602683363994705920?s=20&t=SYNbLP9MhTo6SrkjN6G7FQ
The folks being included in the discussion are doctors and professionals that have already been tested against the media and have held to their professional ethics in caring for their patients. They are listed in the C&C. You may recognize some of the names.
First, let’s talk about the “roundtable with scientists” format. Governor DeSantis has used this technique at least three times before (as I recall)…. Each time the roundtable set the stage for a major departure from the narrative.
I’m pretty sure YouTube promptly deleted all three of the Governor’s roundtable videos….
So this time, the Governor used Twitter.
The roundtable technique is brilliant and effective. Using the technique, the Governor completely immunizes himself from any accusation that he’s engaged in “anti-science” or conspiracy theories….
/snip
DeSantis is a lawyer. He gets it. His strategy relies on the fundamentals of defamation law….
It’s very, very difficult for a public figures to prove defamation.
But it’s completely different for PRIVATE FIGURES. It’s much, much easier for private figures to prove they’ve been defamed. More importantly, if a private figure proves that a newspaper even IMPLIES they aren’t qualified for their chosen profession, then damages can be ASSUMED.
/snip
THAT is almost certainly why DeSantis picked the group that he did. These scientists are all respected, credentialed scientists — who arguably are NOT public figures. Therefore, the corporate media can’t make the story about THEM.
DeSantis skillfully pulled corporate media’s bloodstained vampire fangs. Now they have to compete on level ground, if they try to compete at all.

Well, the bag of 15 beans has been par-boiled with baking soda (as my Mama taught me for ALL dried beans), rinsed and placed in the crockpot liner with onion, a can of chopped tomatoes, beef broth and a “hoop & 1/2” of sausage cut in thickish slices… After it’s had a chance to turn to soup, we’ll figure out if it needs anything else, and what 😉
-
More from C&C:
Dr. Fraiman also noted that none of the agencies or pharma companies have ever provided “patient-level data.” Meaning, researchers can’t tell who is being injured by age, race, pre-existing medical conditions, and so forth. Those are pretty important facts.
It looks like the guv and his experts are going to do it, doing the work that our “experts” refused to do.
The petition for a grand jury can be found here.
The petition lists the “promises” of the “vaccine,” etc. So much fraud. Jury pool candidates are requested to be pulled from central Florida counties. Perhaps someone more familiar with the demographics of Florida can explain why this is important?
-
More C&C:
Now let’s discuss some implications of all this.
Over a month ago, I promised there WOULD be accountability, and I outlined a four-phase timeline for getting to “real” accountability for the pandemic.
/snip
So Coffee & Covid and a couple dozen plucky volunteers started working on the Covid Accountability Project, to help gather all the evidence together in one easily-searchable location. As I write these words, that project is well underway. That’s Phase Two.
What I did not expect — I doubt anyone expected this — was for Phase Three to begin so quickly. Because, make no mistake, in a swift, bold, and politically electrifying maneuver, Ron DeSantis just became the world’s political leader of the Covid Accountability movement.
/snip
Notably — do NOT miss this — the Florida Grand Jury will be a CRIMINAL grand jury, which can issue indictments of people and companies, can issue criminal subpoenas to people and companies, require witnesses to appear and testify under oath, and can publish a final report summarizing its evidence. It can also recommend civil lawsuits. The Grand Jury will operate for a full year.
… it seems certain that the pharma companies WILL, finally, have to go on record and explain — under oath — how the vaccine messaging got so garbled, and whether they ever ACTUALLY said the jabs would reduce transmission or not.
All I can say is – about time! It’s good that Childers was able to predict/hope for this day and begin preparing for it. I’m sure things are kicking into high(er) gear, now that DeSantis is pushing onward with accountability.
First, as exciting as these developments are, everyone should be prepared for it to slip off the rails somehow. I don’t think it’s likely, but the forces arrayed in opposition to accountability are powerful, highly-motivated, and nearly infinitely-funded….
But here is the thing. The Governor’s announcement yesterday just threw open the Overton Window with enough force to break all the glass…. People who’ve been blithely assuming that the safe and effective vaccines were completely insulated from criticism or scrutiny, are now wondering what side they want to be on.
In a miraculous confluence of events, the Governor’s roundtable won’t be yanked off the internet this time, because Twitter is now being operated by Elon Musk’s team. …
Second, if we want to increase the chances these new Florida programs will succeed, and we DO want that very badly, we will need to support,…the Governor….
Third, I could write an entire post about what this development means for federalism and states’ rights. The idea that a state would organize its OWN health agency, competitive with the federal CDC, is something brand new. [emphasis mine]
That last point is huge. HUGE. It’s about time the states began asserting their rights.

Tedtam; “As a man, you are supposed to see the sexual parade while pretending it doesn’t exist (not looking at them).”
That is exactly what I thought you meant. I think about this often when you see a Gal dressed to show off whatever attributes she has or thinks she has and then feigns a disgusted look as in; “What you looking at?!” When if she didn’t want you to look she would have dressed more modestly. Besides, often times her dress or outfit wouldn’t be all comfortable. This goes especially to high heels with their toes stuffed/cramped into their shoes.

I fixed a couple of Mater Sammaches for lunch and man were they good. Simple and good, the wife loves these and so do I. Just a little Dukes Mayo, maters, a little salt and lots of black pepper.

Got the cabbage soup simmering on the stove for a while. In addition to the usual veges and the boned chicken legs, I found about half a thing of sour cream in the refrig left over from T’giving, so I melted that into the mix as well. A quick taste of the liquid did tell me that it altered the taste somewhat, but for the better rather than the worse. Soup is always there to mix up all the leftovers anyway, isn’t it?

BTW, did anyone ever wonder why the crypto freak got hisself arrested in the Bahamas just in time to preclude his testimony in front of a Congressional committee? What a coincidence that he was muted that way.
-
Guess we’re all about to find out if he spread enough walking around money among the Bahamian constabulary to avoid extradition.

Apparently having that guy arrested was a bi-partisan affair – neither side wanted us to hear out loud how much money he was spreading around DC.

It is usually the father who gets hosed in family courts around the country, but this is the other side of the story involving a judge who ought to be thrown off the bench.
A Louisiana mother who claims she was raped at 16 by a 30-year-old-man has been ordered to give up custody of their daughter sixteen years later – and pay him child support in a cruel legal twist.
Crysta Abelseth, now 32, claims that John Barnes, now 46, raped her in 2005 after she accepted a ride home from him from a bar where she had been drinking with friends. She was 16 at the time and had been in the bar with friends.
Six years later, she says he found out about the baby but did nothing about it until 2015, when he suddenly requested 50/50 custody.
She then filed a police report, alleging the rape ten years prior, but he was never charged – even though Louisiana has clear statutory rape laws that apply to anyone under the age of 17.
Now, Abelseth has been ordered to relinquish custody of the now 16-year-old girl and pay Barnes child support, telling local network WBRZ of her peril.

You and I think alike on that topic. That was the first thing that ran through my piddly liddle bwain.
-
Speaking of walking around money…
Looks like Mr Barnes above has either done a lot of that or has pictures of several local “leaders” in compromising situations involving barnyard animals.
it seems that the crime is a slam dunk to prove. They know when the daughter was born, they know how old the mother was, they’ve got both a paternity test AND not only the father’s admission he’s the father, but his very vocal announcement of it, culminating in the award of child support and custody.
Shouldn’t he also be on the hook for 16 years of child support plus whatever damages the mother can get, which he should pay before he goes to prison?

WarmingA friend of mine who used to live here and now lives in Palm Desert, CA. just called me to cancel the dinner we were supposed to have tonight in New Jersey. He was supposed to take an early commuter flight from Palm Springs to Phoenix and then connect to a direct flight to Newark. When he arrived in Palm Springs the flight was delayed for a couple of hours because it rained, sleeted, froze last night and the plane was covered with ice. It took them forever to de-ice the aircraft because they don’t even know what ice is in Palm Springs. My friend has been stuck all day in Phoenix and can’t get a flight out to the east coast until late afternoon. Instead of getting here at 6 PM, he’ll arrive around 11 PM.

Soup’s on. I decided to go ahead and sample a cup. I added a little too much serrano peppers I think. It’s got more of a bite than I intended – certainly well within tolerances though. Maybe the thought of Colorado blizzards and the like subconsciously caused me to drop in too much peppers. Oh well, I’ll be eating on this batch quite a while since I made about a wash tub full.

I just heard on the radio we could be in the twenties on Christmas morning?
I’m gonna hafta send Hubby out before then to collect all my green ‘maters. I just checked and I have a few more starting to blush. The others better hurry the heck up, or I’m going to have to find some green ‘mater recipes.

I just heard on the radio we could be in the twenties on Christmas morning?
That’s why, day-before-yesterday, I brought up Denver possibly hitting their all-time low of -29° on Christmas Eve. If that big Artic mass gets that far south, we’re possibly in for some really cold air.

It all depends the jet stream.
And as always, the opposing Gulf air mass.

Dave on KHOU started talking last week about the possibilities. He’s a maniac about monitoring and predicting those jet stream movements. And it makes good graphics. :).

Currently “only” 66 out here on the moors of the Brazos at Richmond. What a nice change. And it is sunny but quite windy. Much more December here.
One more place left to decorate in the family room is the place that hosts the Nativity scene, and then Christmas will be ready to be enjoyed. I have looked at numerous boxes of Christmas things in two closets that will not be opened this year. Fortunately several years ago I labeled what was in each of the many boxes. Enough is out already, and some are winter decorations that can stay out until Valentine’s Day. For that which is out now must be put back in boxes….
-
#36-39 Most importantly, it makes for good scary forecasts to let everyone know that theey will probably freeze to death unless they watch tv or listen to radio. And of course, there’s always to climate change to deal with too. It gets cold in the winter – how about that?
BTW, what has our Republican state government done to beef up the grid since the great freezing power outage? Nothing substantive that I’ve seen – just shuffled the deck chairs on the Titanic.

Well, I did enjoy my prayer time outside today. I decided to take some real slow time to be with God today. The weather was gorgeous, I got to move around and enjoy nature, and was able to quiet my spirit.
Because I’ve not been very quiet lately, with everything going on.
And if the weather turns, it may be the last time I get to enjoy being outside for a while.

From TexMo’s wife……Saw my babe today. More awake. Shannon is doing better. Rosy cheeks. He feels better.

Actually, Dave Paul isn’t a fear-monger. He does it pretty straight up with the known facts and forecasting to the best of his knowledge.
In fact, the guys on the other Houston stations are pretty straight up, too.
It’s the national network people that insist on making everything an Armageddon.
-
I guess Hubby is going to get with the electrician while he’s at home caring for me, so we can finish getting our generator hooked up. We were waiting for his busy season to not be so busy, then we had a vacancy in Bryan.
So, this would be the perfect time to get it done – between surgery and Christmas cold.
-
I will agree that the non-weather people on the local newscasts gleefully fear-monger about potential weather catastrophes and minor weather damage/events.

This is not the best written article and in fact it is poorly done. However there are discernible facts in there that you probably won’t see anywhere else.
The politics, censorship, government corruption aside, Twitter was a flaming disaster management wise and was constantly teetering on the knife-edge of disaster. There seems to have been virtually no controls over technological and production and security was amazingly non-existent. There were 7,500 employees and 5,000 of them had complete access to the operational array of production on Twitter. There were no security controls over individual employees, any of whom could walk in and stab a memory stick into any USB port in the whole company.
My take is the hackers didn’t take the whole platform down because it was such a rich site to steal vast amounts of supposedly private data and information. It was a cyber hog’s trough. Unbelievable.
My son-in-law and I spent two hours trading examples today of how the world is truly run by idiots. Mharper’s letter from Schlumberger is just another example.

Been watching me some Clint Eastwood on TV this evening. Taking a soup break again for now. Did not get a nap in this afternoon, so as soon as I talk to GF in Philly this evening I’ll be turning in. Dang, the cooler it gets outside, the better this spicy soup tastes. I may add the sour cream in the future as a standard ingredient. It makes for a pretty tasty whatever you call the liquid part of soup.

The physical therapist was here yesterday, and we walked up and down the driveway about 15 times before I got a bit tired. We have a long driveway. She said since I’m doing so well there will only be two more sessions before I am discharged from needing their help. Therapy sessions originally were to continue into January. I am to keep on walking around the driveway until after Christmas and then try walking on our road with spouse.
Our small subdivision has only two roads, and the view from them is quite good to see any vehicle coming from a distance. The entry road into the subdivision splits into two roads at our front pasture. There is little traffic other than residents, visitors, or deliveries. So it is quite popular with some residents of neighboring larger subdivisions with smaller size lots than ours and more traffic to come over here for walks or jogs or bike rides or to bring a leashed pet dog along for the exercise.
And to the surprise of many county employees, our roads are Fort Bend County roads, put in decades ago to replace our gravel roads in an experiment to see how a new method of installing asphalt would work for county roads. A neighbor was responsible for that because he asked our county commissioner to look into paving our roads. This was almost 40 years ago, and it has been repaved only once and is still holding up well. That sold the county folk to use the new paving method. 🙂

This was almost 40 years ago, and it has been repaved only once and is still holding up well. That sold the county folk to use the new paving method.
I wish you could get the Fort Bend Road & Bridge folks to come up here and teach the people in New Jersey how to lay down an asphalt road. They’re still using the same old methods I saw as a boy in Texas and that’s why New Jersey ranks year after year as having the worst roads in America. Yes, worse than Mississippi or Arkansas.

The world’s first methane-fueled rocket to be launched toward orbit has failed to reach its goal.
The Zhuque-2 rocket, developed by Beijing-based company Landspace, lifted off Wednesday (Dec. 14) on the first-ever orbital mission of a methane-fueled launcher and China’s first liftoff of a commercially developed liquid propellant rocket. Despite the high hopes for the historic mission, it appears that Zhuque-2 failed to reach orbit and lost the 14 satellites it carried.
Methane ?!!!
Are they capturing off-gassing from hog farm manure piles for rocket fuel ? They lost 14 satellites doing this.
Sheesh.

The media/entertainment industry assault on American children continues unabated.
The first annual Children’s & Family Emmy Awards took place over the weekend in Los Angeles to honor TV programming geared towards children up to the age of 15. But the ceremony ended up being dominated by LGBTQ messaging and talent, including co-host JoJo Siwa — the YouTube star who identifies as “pansexual” and “queer.”
Early in the show, Siwa referred to herself as “a gay icon,” according to a MRC Newsbusters report, while the Emmys tweeted out a photo of Siwa wearing rainbow-themed apparel to promote the show.
and,
Another winner was Kristi Reed in the category for Outstanding Voice Direction for an Animated Series for her work on Netflix’s CentaurWorld. In her speech, Reed reportedly talked about being a “queer kid from a small town” and said: “We have the power to create programming that elevates all voices, erases generations of hate and tells the bullies of the world to suck it.”
Earlier this year, Reed tweeted her support for “more queer characters” in animation shows.

Salena Zito has written a very nice story on Mike Rowe and his family. It’s a cool story and it involves whiskey.
All of us, in some way, try to keep alive the memories of the people who came before us who led remarkable lives just by doing unremarkable things. What mattered was the way they loved and cared for us, what they taught us, the examples of duty and hard work they lived by, and the humility in all the ways they practiced it. Television host, narrator, and champion of the working class Mike Rowe is no exception. Nearly 20 years since his grandfather Carl Knobel died, Rowe keeps Knobel’s memory alive in just about everything he does, from dedicating his Discovery Channel “Dirty Jobs” show to the man he called Pops to naming his venture into the spirit world (whiskey, that is) after him.
and,
When he put Knobel Whiskey out exactly a year ago, he signed 10,000 corks, went on Facebook, and said: “Look, we don’t have a lot, but we put together this gift offering and threw some swag in it and really put it up as a fundraiser.”
It sold out in two days.
