The Lovely Mrs. Bonecrusher, Headcrusher, our 2 dogs, Meathead and Turbo, and I took T-Bones from Yummy over to Ma and Pa’s house for a lovely meal. I took 4 – 2″ thick steaks and we could only eat about 2 1/2 of them. I left one that was not cut there along with a couple of frozen chuck roasts and a couple of 1 lb chubs of burger meat. NO pictures, but believe me it was good.

When I have to get up super early because “someone” has to take the car in for servicing, I tend to look at Pinterest for recipes/meal ideas… “someone else” in the family is less “constructive” with his time… 😉

Pffffttttttt

You’re getting more eloquent by the minute over there.

Yesterday was the first time I noticed the “Banana Republic” flag in the heading, how long has it been up there?
Mornin’ Gang -
My sister came over yesterday afternoon but in the morning, her and her neighbor pickled 9 quarts of quail eggs! How many little eggs is that you axe? Well there are 4 dozen (48) per quart X 9 Qts = 432! They did have about 50 cull eggs that didn’t make it out of the Quail Egg Peeler because they weren’t cold enough. And NO Texpat I’m not buying one of those. I have enough trouble trying to peel a half dozen cackle balls, I didn’t think I want to try quail eggs. FWIW; There’s a lady in Enterprise that makes Deviled Quail Eggs for a local caterer and if she’s not charging $100 buck a dozen I can’t see her making any money. Who has time for this?! 😉
-
My @ 7:29 AM, Tedtam & bsue, you can purchase a cheaper version of a Quail Egg Peeler at Home Depot. You’re welcome…… 😀

Spotted over yonder;
If you look up “gaslighting” you’ll see this video from MSNBC.
FWIW; There is no video just a Screen shot.
Saying that Joe Biden has a “higher bar” to jump over than Trump is ludicrous. I think we all know that if Joe doesn’t $#!t his pants on air, is able to stay upright the whole time, and screams at us like he did for the State of The Union, the media will claim it was a stupendous success.

I know this got a lot of play, but just incase anyone missed it…
A black pastor told presumptive 2024 Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump Saturday that former President Barack Obama and President Biden “never came to the hood” in Detroit.
Trump held a roundtable discussion with several black community leaders in Michigan, according to the Detroit Free Press. Lorenzo Sewell, senior pastor of 180 Church, told Trump that Obama and Biden “never came” to the west side neighborhood where Trump attempted to court black voters.
“President Trump, I’m so humbled that you would be here,” Sewell said, “President Obama never came to the hood, so to speak, right? President Joe Biden, he went to the big NAACP dinner, but he never came to the hood. So thank you.”
“Thank you, pastor. Really nice,” Trump said as attendees erupted in applause. “Thank you, my honor.”

We should all read the article; those on the left really need to read it so that they might get a sense of what is happening and why.

When I posted a comment about the old 1983 video of Rodney Crowell and Emmylou Harris recording his hit Till I Gain Control Again, I forgot to include the link.
Sitting quietly playing lead in this session was the famous, durable Albert Lee, the British guitarist who has played with almost everyone everywhere it seems. From the Everly Brothers to James Burton of Elvis fame to Deep Purple to Emmylou Harris’ Hot Band along with Ricky Skaggs and Crowell. What a resume for an 80 year old guy who really wanted to play country music since he was a boy.
Footnote: Roseanne Cash is sitting in the background because she was married to Rodney in those days.

Yeah what is it about wives they cannot appreciate the cost savings by using the stove to bake the powder coating? Sheesh

Not to be out done Super Dave has an upcycled Massey Ferguson tractor cowl coffee table.
-
That’s pretty neat and I’d guess that is an early 60’s model.

Reminds me of the first Massey I got to ride on as a kid. Just about 81 or 62

When I was a boy in the 1950s, there were small March of Dimes cans with slots in the top to drop in dime contributions. They were in many, if not most, homes, schools, churches and retail establishments. Then along came Drs. Sabin and Salk with the miraculous new polio vaccines. I suspect most folks thought March of Dimes would go out of business. Think again. Yet here they are 64 years later…
The US is facing an urgent maternal and infant health crisis—but together with our partners and supporters, we can end preventable maternal health risks and death, end preventable preterm birth, and close the health equity gap for every family.
What happened to the end of polio ? John Tierney writes about the March of Dimes Syndrome in modern America.
In the spring of 1979, a few weeks after the partial meltdown of a nuclear reactor at Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania, more than 65,000 people marched on the United States Capitol chanting “No Nukes, No Nukes.” As a young reporter at the Washington Star assigned to cover this new movement, I interviewed march organizers and noticed that all of them had previously organized protests against the Vietnam War. This struck me as curious: How had they suddenly become so passionate and knowledgeable about nuclear power?
and,
So activists have moved the goalposts once again. It is no longer enough for conservative Christians to tolerate same-sex marriage—now they must be legally required to bake cakes and design web pages for the weddings. It is no longer enough to protect gay students from harassment—now these students must have access in elementary school libraries to how-to manuals for anal sex. Public schools must encourage prepubescent students to explore the many possible gender identities without their parents’ knowledge. Biological males self-identifying as females must be allowed to compete against females in sports. These new causes have been wildly unpopular, arousing opposition from homosexuals as well as heterosexuals, and have led to a decline in public support for the gay rights movement. But however much the backlash has hurt the original cause, the controversies keep activists in business.
plus,
By the 1990s, virtually nothing was left of the Klan to sue, so the SPLC pivoted again. It changed the name of its “Klanwatch” project to “Hatewatch,” and began issuing reports listing a growing number of “hate groups” and “extremists” across America. Scholars, journalists, and nonprofits have repeatedly denounced SPLC’s blacklists, noting that its tallies include many “hate groups” that don’t exist, or are harmless (such as a Confederate memorabilia shop that made the list), or are mainstream conservative and Christian organizations that simply oppose progressive policies. The SPLC’s lists of dangerous “extremists” have included respected conservatives such as Charles Murray, Rand Paul, and Ben Carson. As Tyler O’Neil observed in Making Hate Pay: The Corruption of the Southern Poverty Law Center, the SPLC could itself be called a hate group, given how its irresponsible tactics have smeared political opponents and inflamed partisan rancor. But the organization’s scaremongering, however damaging to public debate in America, has been remarkably lucrative. The SPLC’s appeals to combat a “rising tide of hate” have brought in so much donor money that its endowment has soared above $600 million.

Just got in from gardening. Another whole mess of green beans, a good handful of them found on the 2nd and 3rd pass. Sneaky beans. Some of them have succeeded in avoiding being picked before hitting the “I’m just gonna let you go to seed for next year” phase.
I’ve seen a lot of moths and butterflies lately, and my plants are showing it. My chard looks like Swiss cheese. I made my harvesting pass, my second “what did I miss pass,” and then a 3rd pass with the bT spray. I need to that every week now.
Handsome Son came over to borrow the lawn mower yesterday, and I invited him to stay for dinner. I managed to finagle his help in trying to put up some kind of shade for my plants. I’ve lost about half of my leaves from my best green bean tub due to the heat. In the process, I managed to give myself a big ouchie on the inside of my left knee. (Yes, I did something stupid.) When Hubby saw the huge bruise when I was changing the ice pack on it, he told me he plans to build me a proper raised bed garden so I don’t have to struggle with the makeshift stuff I have right now. He doesn’t want me to get hurt any more.
He lubs me. He really lubs me.
I’m waiting on him right now to get back from buying a tool for my car. Then he’s gonna tote me to the store and bank, then back home.
-
The car saga continues:
We both thought it was the transmission. Not.
Mechanic friend suggested low fuel pressure. Hubby bought a tool to test it, but it’s not showing any real problems. MAYBE under certain conditions, but even then it’s borderline. Hubby replace the fuel pump anyway.
No change.
Hubby came home very frustrated last night. He was happy that I’d washed all of his towels for him, had one of his favorite meals ready, and that Handsome was going to join us for dinner. While we were waiting for Handsome to arrive, he said he now thinks it might be a timing chain problem.
So, that’s what he’s working on today. If this doesn’t work, we may just throw in the towel and get a different car. I just don’t see spending so much money for a different car if we can get past this hump. I like my current car, and as I was researching “reliable used cars,” my car model & year was on the list. /scratching head
I don’t know that I want a new model car. Too much electronic crap to go wrong. Hubby won’t be able to work on it. I like the idea of Hubby buying a 1990 truck. It’s not subject to all of the emission restrictions and he can work on it himself. He may even convert the electric windows (not working well right now) to manual. He doesn’t mind cranking the window at all.
-
I changed out the electric window motors on a car and a truck and it was a lot easier that I thought. It does take 2 people because you need 4 hands.

I have time to put up the C&C roundup for today:
Good morning, C&C, it’s Monday! Coffee & Covid is safely back in the satirical saddle, and we have a terrific roundup of the weekend’s essential news: Biden meanders all over the globe and controversial clips constitute a compelling advertisement for elderly care homes; critically important bodily autonomy bill winding through Ohio’s legislature; democrats turbo charge the draft and delete offensive sex-based stereotypes; and a fabulous Lousiana federal court decision puts brakes on Biden’s gender-bending school rules.
***
I’m wondering if Texas, Lousiana, and Florida could secede and form our own country.
-
We’re back, $200 in groceries later. I had the foresight to ask Hubby to strap my little cooler to the back of his truck; it came in handy.
We talked about the car issue on the way. “Even if we can get the car going again, do we want to keep driving it or get a new one?” he asked. I responded that the longer it takes to fix it, the more of a question that becomes. He agreed.
Then we turned to me finding a low-mileage recent year model vs. brand new. He’s actually leaning towards brand new, because he wants the warranty coverage. He has a point. He said we may have reached the point in out lives where we change cars every x years just to keep the maintenance cost issues to a minimum, even if we have to spend more on the car notes and insurance.
It’s something to ponder.
-
College Buddy’s aunt owns a Honda dealership in College Station. Hubby has it on his to-do list to contact her to see if we can get a deal on a new car. He also knows a guy who works for Enterprise Rental Cars, and he’s going to ask him about the viability of buying a used car from them: what kind of condition are they in, year model limitations, etc.

And for those of you who need the weather report for Houston: Jungle.
Just…”Jungle” Simply thinking about walking outside again makes me break out into a hot sweat.
DC isn’t the only place that has a swamp like atmosphere.
-
It is both hot and humid; I have first armpit knowledge of this fact.

-
Just like meeting the Queen of England, there are protocols. Things like not touching without being invited to do so, much less a needless intimate nose to nose encounter.
Of course, if it’d been me, I would’ve thrown up in pachapapa’s lap.

More from the C&C:
A heart-rending clip making the rounds this weekend showed the halting testimony of a covid vaccine-injured pharmacist. Former pharmacist. He’s 100% disabled now. Mike Yoha testified last week before an Ohio house committee considering the fabulous Conscientious Right to Refuse Act, H.B. 319:
https://x.com/VigilantFox/status/1801781505829531934
Mr. Yoha represents the jagged tip of a bloody iceberg of pain, disability, and tears. I encourage all Ohio C&Cers to ceaselessly lobby their legislators to pass this critical bill, which would be a first in the Nation and an example for all right-thinking citizens in other states to follow. In short, H.B. 319 would award attorney’s fees and treble damages to any Ohio employee experiencing discrimination for declining a mandated medical intervention.
Yes. Yes. Yes.

Well, we ARE in a military recruitment crisis, so draft the ladies!
Congratulations, ladies! You’ve broken through the military’s Kevlar ceiling, and you can now enjoy fighting Russians in Ukraine for America. Drafting women was inevitable; it only makes sense. Well, it makes sense in the same way that explaining the logistics of how Santa’s sleigh flies makes sense. Since nowadays the military recognizes gender by self-selected identity, we can’t afford men getting out of the draft by identifying as women.
That would be absurd.
It’s also practical. It’s about making the numbers. Representative Houlahan — herself an Air Force veteran — offered the plain logic, “It ensures the Selective Service System is able to provide the DoD with all the sufficient numbers of personnel with the necessary skills in the event of a national mobilization.”
The idea of my granddaughters at war makes my blood run cold.
-
An interesting comment from the C&C:
The reason why recruitment levels are so low is because people are realizing that being in the US military isn’t about possibly fighting for your country, it’s about fighting for your government. They’re not the same.
True dat.

RE: our swampy weather
I told Hubby in one of our conversations today that we are wimps today. Our pioneering ancestors were clearing land and farming in this kind of weather, without air conditioning and with all of the mosquitoes and insects that accompany the subtropical climate.
I would’ve never made it.
-
maybe they had little harnesses for the huge herds of mosquitoes to help with clearing the landing, and filling in the swamps 😉

Mr. Childers has great news about the injunction against Bidet’s order to overthrow Title IX protections for women in sports:]
Judge Dougherty was ungentle in his conclusion, explicitly calling Biden’s new Title IX rules “an abuse of power,” and quoting ancient wisdom about tyranny. His simple, straightforward conclusion needed no editing:
V. CONCLUSION
This case demonstrates the abuse of power by executive federal agencies in the rulemaking process. The separation of powers and system of checks and balances exist in this country for a reason.When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same
person, or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no liberty;
because apprehensions may arise, lest the same monarch or senate
should enact tyrannical laws, to execute them in a tyrannical manner.
Montesquieu, The Spirit of the Laws (1748).But the order’s final sentence was perhaps the best of all. Judge Dougherty — co-opting the left’s ceaseless refrain but using it properly — put the capstone on his order by correctly labeling executive overreach as a “threat to democracy:”
The abuse of power by administrative agencies is a threat to democracy.
Accordingly, and for the reasons set forth herein,
IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that the Motion for Preliminary Injunctions [Doc. Nos. 17 and 27] filed by Louisiana Plaintiffs and by Rapides is GRANTED.An appeal to the reliable Fifth Circuit will no doubt be forthcoming. From there, it will leap to the Supreme Court, which has, since 2020, been in the regular habit of striking revolutionary agency rulemaking like this 453-page monster.
Progress.

If Trump wins it will be all out war in the courts and the bureaucracy. It is going to be ugly and tough. Be prepared and don’t get discouraged.
Michael Walsh, veteran commentator, author and journalist at the New York Post:
Via its institutional mouthpiece, the New York Times, the American and international far Left has laid out its battle plan for the 2024 presidential election and beyond: “The Resistance to a New Trump Administration Has Already Started.” Written by a hard-core trained cadre of ideological reporter-editorialists, including Trump frenemy Maggie Haberman, Charlie Savage, Reid J. Epstein, and Jonathan Swan, it is an open declaration of war on the rest of us. In many ways, this is the prequel to Molly Ball’s infamous explainer, “The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election,” which appeared early in 2021.
and more here from the New York Times call to arms to the Left,
A sprawling network of Democratic officials, progressive activists, watchdog groups and ex-Republicans has been taking extraordinary steps to prepare for a potential second Trump presidency, drawn together by the fear that Mr. Trump’s return to power would pose a grave threat not just to their agenda but to American democracy itself.
“Trump has made clear that he’ll disregard the law and test the limits of our system,” said Joanna Lydgate, the chief executive of States United Democracy Center, a nonpartisan democracy watchdog organization that works with state officials in both parties. “What we’re staring down is extremely dark.”
The early timing, volume and scale of the planning underway to push back against a potential second Trump administration are without precedent. The loose-knit coalition is determined not to be caught flat-footed, as many were after his unexpected victory in 2016.

Visegrad24, the European news site, reports the following on X:
Foreigners committed 77% of solved rape cases in Paris in 2023, according to data from the Paris Police.

I just heard Carl Higbie make a point about the muted mics during the upcoming debate (if Biden doesn’t back out):
**It’s not that we won’t be able to hear them with the microphones off, but they will be able to hear each other.**
It won’t take much to knock Joe off his rocker.
Right now the debate rules are standing for 90 minutes, with two breaks, and no huddling with advisors during breaks. I told Hubby that even if Joe is hyped up on drugs, it won’t take long for the effort to stand and be alert for more than five minutes will be a challenge for the meat puppet.

Hooray – my encounters with the Physical Terrorists this week are tomorrow morning (BEFORE the storm is suppose to get here) and Friday, after it should all be over but the shouting and/or clean-up
-
How long and loud will the shouting be?
-
Who knows – whatever they are predicting ain’t good but, in reality, who knows… I’ve been thru ones where the manhole covers were bouncing on top of the water boiling up out of whatever they were supposed to be covering, and those where at the height of the storm, I could stand in front of the ambulance barn and smoke a cigarette…

There’s three things you can count on until November 2024 and beyond.
1) The so called debates are fake and will be rigged to heavily favor the shuffling wooden cadaver vis-a-vis 2 Goebbels media moderators and the dummy vs 1. Heck they may enlist Hollywood to substitute a body double in place of the shuffling wooden cadaver.
2) the steal is already on and well into production.
3) you’ll never catch a sternly worded letter faxing groupofCons republican’t politician ( think of the Texas Cornhole and the phony speaker preacher) singing, whistling or humming this song and if they did they’d remove the word no from the chorus.
-
I’m not so sure that the debate(s) are going to happen at all. Bidet is trying to change the rules at the last minute. I expect Trump to go along just a little then say no ‘we debate according to the rules we agreed to’ at which point Bidet will declare Trump as unreasonable and pull out.

Lol, loving the Sternly Worded Fax line.

I’m guessing the SCOTUS is about to hand down decisions that won’t be popular with the tolerant, inclusive crowd. Fences are going up.
Because, fences are actually a workable solution. For the right people. Only.
Fences are being assembled around the Supreme Court today.
Big decisions coming on the cooked up Enron obstruction felony used against 300+ J6 prisoners, and President Trump.
Also the decision on Presidential Immunity.
