HA!
Mornin’ Gang -
I talked to the Boy last night and he was excited about his trip to the California Tactical Academy, gun range. He went with another AVP that is a Gun Nut, come to find out that there is a large Gun Culture out there, even with the crazy gun laws. This doesn’t surprise me, as there are a lot of normal Californians, they just have to put up with all the BS that comes out of Sacramento. His buddy has a Ruger American, in 6.5 Creedmoor, that they shot on the long range course. My boy hit a steel plate at 800 yards pretty regularly with it. If you didn’t know the 6.5 Creedmoor is a fairly new, 264 caliber round that is real popular for long range shooting. The heavier 264 rounds are long for their diameter and have a high BC, for flatter shooting, with out much recoil. Of course the 6.5 will not do anything that the 264 Winchester will not do better, but that is another story. So now, the Boy has to have a long range weapon and his first choice would be mine. A Savage® Arms Model 10T-SR Tactical Bolt-Action Rifle. It is an accurate no-nonsense rifle at a very reasonable price. I, of course, would opt for a 338 Laupa, but the Boy wants a 6.5.

It just dawned on me that I’m missing a holiday, Columbus Day was one of those obscure days that we got @ the Rocket Ranch, along with Flag Day. Since last Friday was Flex-Friday and today, a holiday, I might have taken a Road Trip. 😉

1953 GMC 9314 – Canadian production GMC
I went many a mile in a 52 Chevy just like this one, even the same color. How I’d like to have it now.George Disney’s ’53 9300 is parked on a roadside near picturesque Pitt Meadows British Columbia not far from Vancouver, BC. George has painstakingly restored and attended to his GMC for many years and it shows. Canadian GMCs in ’53 had identical bodies to US Production, but used 216 Chevy motors.

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The Trump campaign has unveiled its 2020 campaign strategy of airing unedited footage of speeches and press conferences by far-left Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and that other one.
GOP commercials will air the footage around the clock. The speeches will not be edited in any way. Rather than pushing their own policy proposals, Republicans will just remind the nation of just who it is they’re running against. -
Good morning Hamsters. Waiting for some rain here and the arrival of the next cold front to chase away today’s relapse into late summer. Currently 73 here and a miserable change from yesterday morning’s 57.

That seems to be a smart policy to stand back while the Dems make fools of themselves and show it often. Let the thing speak for itself. 🙂 -
Well, the cold front might have showed up here, it is sprinkling rain and 62 degrees down from 65 at 4 AM. The front was supposed to come through tomorrow afternoon with a 80% chance of rain late in the day, 15% chance today. I do hope we get rain, the last measurable rain was on August 27 and my turnip patch looks real sad, less than ¼ of the seeds came up even though I’ve been watering them. 🙁

As seen over yonder; Fox News, One down Juan to go.
Actually, I’d like to see them get rid of the lying, racist, Pig, Donna Brazile. -
It just dawned on me that I’m missing a holiday, Columbus Day
No one but government agencies and their contractors have ever gotten that holiday. If the evildems ever get power again it will be banned and old Chris will be stricken from all history books except to teach that he was the root of all evil perpetrated against the benign and saintly
people of colorcolored people.Meanwhile, back at the ranch …
Columbus’s fault, no doubt.

Morning gang. Suffering a little Astros hangover this morning after inadvertently staying up until the last dog was dead, I still got up on time this morning – I foresee a nap in my future today. It’s a bit cloudy out here this morning, with a chance of thunderstorms this morning, which of course means no rain today. Need to get some chores done this morning, or at least sometime today, or tomorrow if I don’t get to them. Wednesday is looking like a travel day back to Big D for some baseball with BFF. OK, you folks have a great day, and I’ll be reporting back later if something important happens. More later.

Well, they can’t use dogs or roosters anymore.

I spoke too soon, the rain petered out and now it is sunny and warming up fast. Oh well, I wanted to get the Mean Orange Machine out to do some trail work. I also need to push up some more topsoil onto my pile down by the barn….Later,….

Doood, still out there? What’cha playing?
Thanks for the YT subscribes y’all. I’m kinda scarce lately and band stuff has taken a back seat, which leads me to this request: please keep Mrs. Dooood in your prayers. Recent cancer diagnosis and she’ll be going through chemo/radiation over the next 6 weeks then surgery a few weeks after that. Good prognosis but worrisome nonetheless.
-
Dooood
keep Mrs. Dooood in your prayers
You got em and I am going to get my church prayer warriors on this.
“The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26

It’s now “Indigenous People’s Day”.

Prayers launched for Mrs. Dooood’s return to health. And for your and her strength to see her through this exhausting time until she is well again. -

Nope, it’s Leif Erickson Day. He and his Vikings got here 500 years before Christopher. 🙂 -
Prayers up for a successful treatment and speedy recovery, Dooood.

#19 – I’m with you on this one. I appreciate all the hard work that goes to whoever gets this blog up and running every morning without fail, and I know that I am one of the most chronic complainers about assorted OC pictures. Given that, I had decided to keep my mouth shut on the topic today and just try to grind through without complaint – but since the topic opened up, I just can’t hold it any longer. Anyway, hopefully a strong group of insightful comments will more than offset the inconvenience of plowing through the start of the blog.

Things the peaceful “Indigenous peoples” of the New World had long before Columbus sailed the ocean blue:
- Slavery
- Genocide
- Human sacrifice
- Cannibalism
The last two were not present in Columbus’s Europe.
-
B-b-but they lived in idyllic harmony with Mother Gaia.
-
A merry, cheery, and happy Columbus Day to all you Couch Critters.
I notice Google didn’t mention it, not even as Indigenous Peoples Day.
-
You still use Google?

Just got my annual

Yabbut I was just being a horses patoot. Saw an opening to yank Texpat’s chain for the heck of it. Even I realize the value of that abomination. without the occasional “holy moley” like the one above picture we could become inundated with cute kitties 24-7. (SHUDDER)

Hey Wagonburner
Ya got a loincloth thinks I can borrow for Ingenious Persons Day? Man I could really get the message out in my neighborhood if I was wearing one of those injun things. Seems my speedo has lost its clout.
-
A big fat whiteguy with a beard wearing an injun loincloth? Whoohoo that’ll gets peoples attention fast. Gotta find me some Birkenstock Crocs to wear with it.
-
Yup.
The produced, growing, living, or occurring natively or naturally in a particular region or environment peoples just smoked the peace pipe all day long and called everyone they met kimosabe.
Nary was heard a discouraging word and the skies were not cloudy all day.
It was their version of Mayfield sans the Eddie Haskell type Indian and Mrs Rayburn.

Prayers and best wishes for complete demolition of your wife’s disease.
BTW – I’ve read that fsating before chemo reduces the side effects and may even make it more effective. Check with your doc because I can’t remember the source of my information.
Cancer sucks.

I do, because I like some of their doodles.

That reminds me, I need to look into changing my OS before January…

The Astros game went very long last night I understand. Nothing in the Chron on the outcome of course as their deadline must have been long before the game ended. Likewise nobody here has mentioned it yet
in the comments. Spouse tells me they won. Yea! It must have been this morning in the wee hours that happened. So now they go off to NY for tomorrow afternoon’s game.And yea for the Texans yesterday. It appeared that Mr. Watson had more protection yesterday as he seemed to be standing upright much more than flat on the ground this game. And he scored 2 TDs himself.

Beginning to get some sprinkles here at Chez Harp…

So I goofled images of people named Gaia. The first result was some guy with a man bun. Had he a mullet man bun I would have shown ya. I would have thought wimminz would have been the first in the results.

I had it licked till I got to number 6. Most of my ancestors inflicted injury, not much healing going on with that group. But I wonder, can moonshiners be considered as a medical herbalist?

But I wonder, can moonshiners be considered as a medical herbalist?
Moonshiners are primitive refiners and chemists. Moonshiners make what people want. Some moonshiners even participate on erudite blogs.

#40 – Ms. Adee – far be it from me to offer advice to a wise sage such as yourself, but sometimes, in order to keep up with the entire thread, it’s helpful if you check out the late night posts from the previous day and bring that forward. Then you would have discovered the Astros score right up front. Just a suggestion.

erudite
I think if that lasts more than four hours you gotta go see a doctor.
-
Praying for y’all, Doood.
-
Nope. Shannon, not shaman.
-
Prayers on the way Doood, I hope it all comes out OK.

“erudite”
Every time I hear that word, I think of Sheila Jackson Lee. She used it out of context once and Michael Berry used to play her quote. I Googled it but couldn’t find anything, bummer!

My #51,…I think my facts are accurate.

#51, the gift that keeps on giving;
“Don’t condemn the gangbangers, they’ve got guns that are trafficked, that are not enforced, that are straw purchased and they come into places even that have strong gun laws. Why? Because we don’t have sensible gun legislation.”

#51,….
Today, we have two Vietnams, side by side, North and South, exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. I would look for a better human rights record for North Vietnam, but they are living side by side.

My bad. I usually check on posts from late the day before but didn’t do that today.
🙁 -
Queen Sheila always comes to the rescue of our boredom with her comments when we need some humor. Totally unintentional, but useful anyway.

Hefty rainfall in the barrio.

BAWHAHAHAHA! You can’ make this crap up; Mike Bloomberg keeps talking to allies about running for president as Joe Biden struggles against Elizabeth Warren.
I say, go for it! You’re certainly as big a loser as the rest of them…That said; and you didn’t hear it from me, but who thinks that Trump wins in a landslide? I don’t want to throw a wrench into the works, but DAYAAM!!! Do you think that ANY of these CLOWNS could be elected President, Lawd help us if they could. -
After 2016 and 2018 I’m sticking to my guns and NOT making ANY predictions for 2020. Nothing will surprise me.
I will predict that Ratboy Turner won’t get over 50% and will be forced into a runoff. He may not even make it to the runoff.
-
OK, this is knida’ neat, I was checking my game camera, down by the creek and it had the usual Doe, Squirrel and Feral Hawgs, but it also had a pair of Grackle Hens, Pileated Woodpeckers, for you folks in Rio Linda. I do love seeing these huge birds, one day, about dark, I saw a big bird flying over the house with a distinctive silhouette and at first thought it was a duck, but the wings didn’t look like they were on his hind end and seeing the beak, I knew that it had to be a big Grackle Hen.
-
I’m thinkin’ a road trip to see SuperD and his loverly should be arranged. So’s we can fully appreciate
histhe wild life. -
#61 Hamous, I can’t argue that, but there are a bunch of normal folks that show up at the Trump Rallies and a lot of them are PI$$ED! I know, I’m jinxing the whole thing but DAYAAM. Can a halfway normal person vote for Fauxahontas, Crazy Bernie, or Plugs?,…I guess that Plugs could be considered normal even if he is stupid…..SIGH
-
Apparently finger guns are a felony.
-
#63, Tedtam, Come on Down! I murdered a squirrel this morning and we’re having fried squirrel, grits N gravy, in the morning. We’ll also have some biscuits and eggs over easy, to go with it of course.
I’ve not had time to go fishing, but if you can catch-em, I’ll clean-em and cook-em. 😉 -
The ok symbol is a hate crime and finger guns are assault. The only rational response to this rash of symbolic violence is to start chopping off digits of the offenders.
If you made a pew-pew sound while making a finger gun would that be considered aggravated assault?
-
Dang, I gotta’ go stab the cat, (I got new insulin today) and feed the crazy Lil’ Dawg, remind me to tell you about the feral composting in the game cleaning sink, it hasn’t been used since my Daddy died and the leaves, made a 2″ layer of compost in the bottom of sinks!!!

Rain check.
I’d love to visit. I may even do it before I get my glampervan.

Yankees will win vs Astros in 7 so the league can make gobs and gobs of money
Then on to the WS where the league would rather see a Nationals or Dodgers vs Yankees series to make gobs and gobs more money.
That plate umpire made two horrendous calls in a row last night and he’s just getting warmed up to become the lead decider in the outcome.
-
It’s gonna be a…..

Or Cardinals vs Yanks.

Sarge collects weird things and has started a recording career because

It’s money that will make the monkey dance
-
How’d you like to make some of that easy money?
-
Nats are leading the Cards 4-0 in the 4th. Nats and Yanks in WS might be my new pick, which started with the Astros v Dodgers. Dodgers got wiped out by Nats, and Cards are not looking very good right now Astros don’t seem to have the drive, grit, and determination that they showed last year. The Yankees are just plain good – they don’t need any extra adrenalin or anything. So, for now it looks like Nats v Yanks. Keep in mind of course that I’m still scoring virtually 100% wrong on all my political and sports picks.
-
78 Keep up the good work!
The 2017 AL championship series went seven games with the same two teams. Only difference is the Astros have to win at least one game in New York this year.
-
#16, Will do.

I made it back from Arkansas this evening, unpacked, and then went to visit our CPA. 2018 Taxes are officially filed with one day to spare. Our tax situation is considerably less complicated than in the past. I do not really have a need to procrastinate anymore. In fact the CPA suggested we get everything to him by March 1st next spring. I know I’ll take him up on it because a mistake we made last year has been carried over to the first 10 months of this year which means Uncle Sam owes me a big refund next year too!
-
Bloomberg? I ain’t worried about him jumping in. Who y’all oughta be worried about is the Wookie. She would be the best the evildems could choose in 2020. I wouldn’t be surprised to see her jump in at the last minute.
-
Dooood, prayers for your wife.
-
I’m really surprised Harris trails so far behind Biden and Warren. She was my pick… what a year ago? Good grief. One year in and another full year to go.
-
Nats leading Cards 8-1 in bottom of 8th.
-
I’d love to see Wookie getting involved. Or hiliary. Or Oprah. Or that fat loudmouth gay girl – Oh yeah Rosie is her name. Plenty of options out there. Liz Warren has been taking arm swinging lessons from Beto and screeching lessons from hiliary looks like. Thank goodness for baseball so I don’t have to watch the demons debate tomorrow nite.

See #85 for final score. Night all.

It was an exhausting game to watch tonight between the Packers and Lions at Green Bay. Temp at game time was 40 degrees with an overnight low expected to be 36. Not quite see your breath temps. That Alaskan cold front obviously got there, so everybody in the stands was bundled up and many of the players were wearing long- sleeved shirts.
Packers won 23-22 in the last minute or so, A. Rodgers having perfectly managed the last few minutes to give Mason Crosby the honor of kicking the winning field goal in the last few seconds. With that win they have already defeated the other three teams in the NFL North Division and are currently 5-1 for the season. Quite a different position from that predicted by sports gurus who said they would be only a so-so team this year. Certainly a very nice start to the season.
