Seems like things get too serious sometimes around here. To lighten things up a bit I figured we could delve into the architecture

”How long does the shingles vaccine last? Studies show that protection remains higher than 85% within the first four years of vaccination. While protection from the shingles vaccine gradually wears off over the first five to eight years”
I think the Shingrix vaccine is good for 10 years. But I don’t have to keep track of that, my PCP will do that.
Thanks for the tip on the shingles vaccine. Had them a couple of years ago, but I think it’s time to reload.
In other news, night all.
Yeah that’s the version I should have done. I just had to have this one re-shingled. Original bast*rds didn’t do it right.
Good for you SD. Bout time you left the salt mine for a break. Buen viaje.
GJT is pretty sick about the OC porch thing.
🙂
Yep, that’s ol’ Max.
Last Fall my pharmacist advised me that I should hold off on the shingles vaccine because rumor had it that Medicare was going to cover the entire cost after the first of the year.
Glad she told me. It is now covered 100% by Medicare. Saving me over $400.
Thanks, taxpayers!!!
Not that anyone is interested but I’ve got the old GMC loaded up for a “Road Trip” to Clear Lake and then on to Bastrop. The good news is that my wife is going with me, she’s attending a Hen Party on Friday night (in Clear Lake) and I’ll be heading to Bastrop Friday afternoon after having lunch with my… Read more »
#36 Tedtam, I caught that, warmed my heart and give me a little hope for this old world. Remember most of those in attendance were young folks.

Cooling down all night long out here and then not going back up tomorrow. Greenhouse is still standing despite the strong winds today. Rose bushes, all in large pots, are still hanging on. Hedges are showing no signs of putting on new leaves at all, but they may just be late bloomers – or they may be dead. I’ll know… Read more »
I got a call from my church tonight. It seems Fr. Felix wants to move forward on a rosary apostolate and they are looking for someone to teach a rosary making class. Guess who’s already got class notes well under way, beads are being counted out, and shopping lists put together? The lady on the end of the phone was… Read more »

Tucker’s about to talk about the revival in Asbury, KY. It wasn’t planned, totally spontaneous, started by students, and now folks are driving in and it’s been going for over 100 hours and shows no sign of stopping.
Worship, praise, and conversions are happening. Sounds like Heaven.
I’m sure there are some lefties absolutely seething. Too bad. Their loss.
Literally.
February 13, 1924 – Forest Oil adopts Yellow Dog Logo- Forest Oil Company, founded in 1916 as an oilfield service company by Forest Dorn and his father Clayton, adopted a logo featuring the two-wicked “yellow dog” oilfield lantern. The logo included a keystone shape to symbolized the state of Pennsylvania, where Forest Oil pioneered water-flooding methods to improve production from… Read more »
Everybody petered out on this blog tonight.
Lol, that’s funny.
More balloon hijinks from our British pals They burst their bubble. UK pranksters have been accused of trying to start “World War III” after flying a “spy” balloon over the Chinese Embassy amid the alleged “balloon espionage” scandal between the US and China. Video of their helium-filled fact-finding mission has racked up nearly a million views on their TikTok channel,… Read more »
#29 – Actually it is just outside the greenhouse. That green plastic is the front of the greenhouse. Got lots of bluebonnets all around this year, but this is the first little bloom trying to pop out. The rest of the plants look good and healthy though since they’ve had a little rain plus a water assist from me as… Read more »
Another icon of our era is gone.
But her pinups will last forever.
El Gordo’s; First bluebonnet in Texas that I’ve seen.
Looks to be in the little greenhouse?
If you are interested, I posted the first bluebonnet in Texas over yonder (At least the first one that I’ve seen. Bring it over if you like.
Then there is this. Each year, around 60,000 high-flying balloons are launched just by the National Weather Service, the agency said. They rise into the stratosphere, a layer of the planet’s atmosphere that extends to a height of roughly 30 miles. The balloons used by the Weather Service are designed to rise 20 miles up — far higher than the… Read more »
I didn’t know this until a couple of weeks ago. I’d like to watch one of these launches. The balloons stand taller than the San Jacinto Monument when they are launched from the NASA facility in Palestine. And by the time they come down somewhere in West Texas, Texans from as far away as Sulphur Springs in North Texas and… Read more »

Looks like “isolated thunderstorms” for my neck of the woods this afternoon, so I scrounged up some cutting tools and did a bit of trimming off the ligustrum bushes in the front yard. The limbs I wanted to remove were dead, so they came off pretty easily. Just about every limb or even twig that I left on had lots… Read more »
The former miniature Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich, made the usual fool of himself on Twitter. Amy Swearer of the Heritage Foundation gave him the intellectual beatdown he deserved. Sample: Chicago – not the Greater Chicago area but just within the city limits – has less than 1 percent of the U.S. population but is responsible for almost 8 percent… Read more »
IIRC, the GoFu**Me folks took down the account that was raising money for the rancher, too.
GiveSendGo should have an account. Maybe I’ll go look and see.
Update: GiveSendGo does have a fund for him:

GSG doesn’t do the politically correct litmus testing that GFM does.
#20 – Yessir seen this YES
What I saw on ACE was the most extensive I’ve come across…………..YMMV
#18 Katfish, not to be rude but this has been all over the news since last week, is this the first you’ve heard of it? That said it’s certainly worth posting.
Dick Morris, the strange little dude, has some opinions on Joe, Barack, Michelle and the Hillary. Former President Barack Obama has been something between the architect of Biden’s presidency and its puppeteer. He has designed Biden’s programs and political decisions and has put his people in all key administration jobs. Former chief of staff Ron Klain’s departure eliminates the main… Read more »
*Hat Tip* JJ Sefton over on ACE A 73-year-old Arizona cattle rancher, George Alan Kelly, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder for allegedly killing an illegal immigrant from Mexico who trespassed on the rancher’s private property. The alleged killing took place on January 30th. Mr. Kelly is in jail, unable to make the bail that was set at an… Read more »
Wind was blowing before daylight this morning as I headed out to TOK and has only gotten stronger as the day goes on.
Morning, gang. I have things to do today, but hardly any motivation. We’ll see as the day wears on… I’m still eating breakfast cereal right now.
Wonder what the put options look like?
timtom got into the wheed again (ref: #10).
One guy said he knew a guy that had a grill on his boat, ran tubing that would collect the heat from the fire, then run that tubing through the seats. Theres a chem plant up in the panhandle that has some navy surplus cauldrons they use for different social events throughout the year. They had a line run from… Read more »
Well, I’m about to make an eggery run. We are into our last dozen from my shopping trip pre-surgery. I had one of them this morning, and the yolk was still fresh.
Oiling them really seems to have helped with the long term freshness.
I have a long treatment session scheduled with a clinic today. Maybe I’ll discuss my history with the mRNA “vaccine” and its effects when I return, if I feel like it.
There are millions of people’s pension and IRA accounts taking a hit on this disaster in Ohio. Norfolk Southern Railway is 42% owned by Vanguard, Black Rock, JP Morgan and other investment and mutual fund operators.
The stock is down over 5% so far and I’m sure it will get worse.
9 Tedtam I’m assuming there’s been research into getting us all spiked, even the ones who refused the jab. Oh, they’re trying very hard. In the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, mRNA vaccines hold great promise because of their low risk of insertional mutagenesis, high potency, accelerated development cycles, and potential for low-cost manufacture. In past years, several mRNA… Read more »
#3 Bones I’ve been following this topic on Twitter for several weeks now and I’ve seen many of the video clips in PJW’s piece. It is absolutely ridiculous. This really is a case of the boy who cried wolf. All across social media, there are clips of people in gyms. Many are “how to” videos and the presenter is modestly… Read more »
And finally, Tennessee leading the way to protect our food sources: The Epoch Times ran a forward-looking story Monday headlined, “mRNA Vaccine in Food Products Could Be Banned in Tennessee.” Tennessee Republicans filed a proposal in the state’s general assembly that would prohibit the manufacture, sale, delivery, holding, or offering for sale of any part of livestock or meat food… Read more »
From the Suddenly & Unexpectedly Department: Whoever Taylor Lorenz is, she is tweeting out to her lefty friends about so many young people she knows just dropping dead. Well, I guess the masks were interfering with her seeing what was going on. But she’s finally getting a clue. God bless her little heart. More importantly, a string of her lefty… Read more »
Yeh, That’s Cletus’ place over in Arguta and his wife gets mad as hell in the springtime when he takes her front porch Crappie Fishin’ on Lake Eufaula. When he gets back she has to clean up the fish scales and beer cans out of the pontoon boat. 😀

Next up, more Biden family shenanigans: ….the Daily Mail UK broke a story yesterday claiming that yet another Biden has been selling access around the world. It was a family enterprise.
