I want to say this to every snowflake who says words are violence and who can’t handle opposing viewpoints.
Whenever they want to cry about how hurt they are that they are facing some kind of mental or emotional opposition….

from earlier this morning:
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.

This Tuesday Thread
The WP dashboard log says this OC post was published at 12:01 AM Tuesday. It didn’t show up until after 8 AM. I checked the dashboard last night and it was set to publish at 12:01 AM.
-
The Biden junta is probably fixin’ to shut down any blog or site containing unapproved content. Only half kidding unfortunately.
-
TexPat, this is for your consideration:
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.
-
Texpat – I had to go in and remove the scheduled date and push for an immediate publication.
I sat there looking at the “12:01” time and just wondering….
-
I question both the efficacy and methodology. The ingredients are also kinda iffy IMO.
-
Dang, there is a big black guy in the master bathroom with a Sawsall! Film @ 11.

8. I’d liked to see how she obtained the magic potion. From a distance.

#10 Musta’ did it VERY carefully. 😀

I still had the PDF tab open last night and tried to copy the 27 link pages, but it wouldn’t let me. I think I saved a page or two before it went to 404.

The crazy eyes tell the whole story.
-
Ummm…
12:01 is noon.
00:01 is midnight.
-
I punched in 00:01 for the time. I always do.
How it made it to 12:01….I don’t know.
-
Morning gang. I posted earlier on the old page, but I saved my morning greetings until the new OC came up. So, have a nice day. I went to coffee, and now I’m waiting for the mailman to deliver my gaskets to complete my outdoor part of the electrification of the store room after that arrives.
I need to paint the door frame as well, and I may go ahead and do that while I’m waiting on the mail, but I don’t want to distract from the hole in the wall project since it is forecast to maybe rain sometime this evening or tomorrow. No local news worth reporting. Progress reports may come is as time and progress allows.
-
I always make it for a random early morning time.
-
This guy copied the whole Spartacus letter, but unfortunately did not include the attached 27 pages of links.
-
I think I’ve decided to keep my Kia and forego the Suburban.
It’s the mileage and the ease of parking. Sometimes getting into a parking space at Annunciation can be rather tight for a bigger car.
I’ll save the gas money and maybe get my glampervan some day. Some. Day. /sigh
-
#8 – Well, I guess it takes all kinds of people to keep the world interesting. I am curious to know how she determined that it was bear urine versus some other person or animal.

US State Dept “diplomacy” is horrible under Blinken and John Freaking Kerry is no help whatsoever. The US State Dept is riddled with America Hating Leftists and needs to be flushed like the over-used toilet it has become. Fire Everyone. Start over by picking names at random from a US phone book.

12:01 is one minute afternoon after noon.
12:01 AM is one minute after midnight.
All of your recent front page post times are logged as 12:01 AM by WordPress. It requires you to schedule the post in military time, but records the published time as standard time afterwards. In other words, 00:01 becomes 12:01 AM in the archive.
Why ? I have no idea. Why not stick with military time and be consistent ?
-
Anyone who is interested:
I have 4 pages in Word of links I was able to save from the Spartacus Letter reference link pages. I copied from the PDF to Word so there are no hyperlinks and everything is run together. It’s decipherable, but it will take some patience. Let me know if you want a copy and I will email it you at the address you registered on this site.

Morning, Hamsterville ° !
Seems humid this morning, and I’m hoping for some rain today.

Rain and thunder in the Barrio

The general settings were configured to use am/pm for display. I changed it to military format.

Here is a PDF of the Spartacus letter, with links.
Clickable links.
The Wayback Machine doesn’t even have the original page. The internet scrubbing has been fast, furious, and thorough. Must’ve hit a nerve.
-
I saved it to a thumb drive.
Because, y’know, gubmint.
-
Typed this before I saw TT’s post above, but the offer stands.
I found a .pdf of the letter. I don’t want to link to it (see #5 if you don’t understand why). I will, however, be happy to email it. Maybe the easiest way would be for me to send it to one of you regular couch critters for further distribution. The email will be coming from a Protonmail account. Volunteer? Let me know a good address where to send.

Waaaaay too long. Create a separate post and take it out of the comments.

I’ll do it

We have precip at Chez Harp!

Use Tedtam’s list after it gets posted on the front page. It’s in much better shape.

Someone send me the list. I’ll clean it up and update the post this evening.

UK and Dutch benchmark natural gas selling for $29 per mbtu. Oh, and the Russians just dropped supply 57% without warning to the Yamal-Europe pipeline that goes to Germany. Major industrial operations shutting down in Europe for lack of gas.
Louisiana Henry Hub natgas selling for $6 per mbtu. Thank your frackers every single day.
-
TexPat and TT: Thank you. A hard copy has been made and it is saved on my work computer.
I would suggest that all here do the same; it is much harder for the Feds to grab hard copy.
If I was really hard core, I would print the text of all the links – you know, just in case. -
Raining hard here at Buffalo Speedway and Westheimer.

Good morning Hamsters,
Dark clouds have moved in, and the wind has picked up considerably so Old Glory is getting a workout on the front porch. No rain yesterday as had been predicted, but today looks to have some–or a lot. Rain just started and is quite vigorous now. Temp is down to 78.
Spouse and I had the #3 Covid booster last week and the seasonal flu shot yesterday. When we got home spouse read in the newspaper that it was safe for both to be given together, no need to have them separately. We prefer to have them separately anyhow, as if either one causes issues, keeping them separate solves the problem of who did it. Both of us had moderately sore arms as we did with the previous two, and the first night they were sore enough to encourage not sleeping on them. Each day afterwards the soreness was less and today it is essentially gone.
-
#38 TP: What a great opportunity if someone had an LNG tanker. Buy the gas at $6, cost might be $10 or less to ship, keep the balance of $13+ as profit. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
QUESTIONS: Is the LNG facility in Lake Charles operational yet? Can Germany receive LNG shipments? -
#38 Texpat
Anyone have a guess how long it will take for Ole Biden to order Keystone to open again after the uproar amongst the populace gets loud enough?
-
If I was really hard core, I would print the text of all the links – you know, just in case.
Not a bad idea, if I get time after putting out the fires nipping at my legs right now. I have plenty of thumb drives.
It’s 1984 all over again. The whole “Ministry of Truth” editing history and censoring news, and all.

Wasn’t it “Frarenheit 451” where the freedom lovers had to memorize works of literature to preserve it, since the government had banned books?
Sounds more familiar every day.

HEADLINE: 3,000+ Doctors, Scientists Accuse COVID Policy Makers of ‘Crimes Against Humanity’
Something tells me that this whole Covid Crapola may wind up being the straw that broke the socialist, big government camel’s back. As more and more people realize that the hysteria and blocking of treatments was just a vehicle to gain power – they are going to get really angry to the point that they may reconsider their own ideology.
What other disease in modern history would “the experts” order that you do nothing to treat early with proven safe, efficacious drugs and, only when you become critical do you go to the hospital where they will probably kill you?!? Then, for those whom they have not killed using the above non-efficacious regimen, use extreme pressure to get you to take an experimental, DNA altering, non-sterilizing ‘vaccine’ in the midst of a pandemic thus disrupting the natural course of viruses to be less lethal over time? If one were trying to kill and maim as many people globally as possible, this would be a great way to do it.

Now pounding rain and thunder! (at Chez Harp)

Remember the 66 yard field goal kick by Justin Tucker for the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday ?
He was born in Houston, graduated from Westlake High School in Austin, played for UT, but wasn’t even drafted in the NFL. He was a music major in college and is the most accurate kicker in NFL history.

#49 TP: I have a nephew who sings that well or better. Definitely a treat to hear.

Ok, this is freaky. Last week I posted a Star Trek clip and compared the Aspergers chick to the kids in that episode.
Does Greta read Hambone? Blah blah blah.

#52: Why does anybody, other than her parents, pay any attention whatsoever to her mindless drivel?

For the last week Amazon thinks I need to buy Riga sardines and a Rand McNally large scale road atlas.

You’ll be getting the bear urine ads soon….

I already bought the road atlas, tell em to turn it off.

The generator #1 input outside and output inside are complete. The rubber pads came today and I cut out gaskets to seal the mounts, got the mounts on the brick (more drilling through brick and using those plastic anchors to lock it all on, got the electrical wiring all proper, and screwed it all down tight. Plugged in an extension cord outside and my shop light tested every outlet – they all worked. No smoke, no sparking, no static on the radio – good enough for a shade tree electrician like me.
Generator #2 is virtually complete. The mounting board is anchored to the brick and I just need to mount the exterior plug, connect the wiring, screw it all together, test it, and I’ll be done. But my arms are worn out from having to use my heavy duty drill to make the anchor holes, and they were already tired from drilling the 2″ holes yesterday. I was able to work in the shade all morning, but Mr. Sol is now tipping over to the west side, so the shade is gone and it’s getting hot. So I’ll take a break until later this evening to wrap this up. The hard parts are done.
I’m not really sleepy, but my muscles are old and tired, so I do need to rest them up a little. Be a real shame to get out there right now and screw something up because I was too sore and tired to pay attention to what I’m supposed to be doing. Looks like the paint the door jam job will just have to wait another day – or few. Break time, but probably no nap – but that nap monster has a nasty habit of coming around and catching you off guard. More later.

Re: Ave Maria
1. Beautiful voice. What a blessing to hear that!
2. I understood every Latin word of it. 😉
3. When I was preparing for my wedding, I was told my boss used to sing with the USO. He said he would sing for my wedding. I was in the bride’s dressing room, so I didn’t get to hear him sing “Ave Maria” (which I really wanted), but I was told afterwards that it was a beautiful rendition.One wedding gift that I didn’t get to enjoy.
-
My nephew is the youngest and he sang it for his oldest brother at his wedding.
Singer nephew then proceeded toget completely trashedhave a great time at the reception. -
I was under pressure this morning to sign multiple legal pages/contracts.
My ink was running out while I was trying to manage the emails and phone calls.
Pulled out the replacement cartridge – WRONG ONE! DANGIT!
I pulled out the existing toner cartridge and shook it, managed to squeeze out a few more pages of print. I’ve actually been shaking it for about a week now – a trick I picked up some time ago. Shaking the toner cartridge will give you quite a few extra pages, but you may have to shake it more than once. I think I reached the final shake this morning.
So, finally got the documents signed and digitally signed, copies made…then ran to the big box office store to get a new cartridge. Next up…ordering the cheap ones, making sure I get the right cartridge number this time.
But it’s been a bit stressful today.

I’m very skeptical about conspiracy theories. Most often they’re just a lazy copout for more complex series of forces and events. But I’ve come across these two items and they got my attention.
#1 Mastercard’s Plan to Create Digital IDs for All Australian Citizens
They’re using an anti-pornography campaign to create this and sell it to the Aussie government and we know what those thugs are all about these days.
#2 Davos World Economic Forum 2020 Master Plan
This is a video of a guy in Israel demonstrating to his American friend the deep links into a very broad, complex plan for reorganizing and controlling populations through political, communications, biomedical methods. It is truly bizarre. This may just be the fantasies of globalist fascists, but there are a lot of very influential and powerful people involved in this project.
Both links are disturbing and bring up all kinds of questions and potentially evil consequences.
-
I can remember guys dropping boxer 6 engines from a Corvair into VWs. That was an easy swap since both engines were air cooled. The Subaru boxer is water cooled so that presents a challenge.
-
Another bad month for Booger Eatin’ Joe. The Generals are calling him a liar, and the Left Wing Extremists that have taken over his Party are about to torpedo his signature legislation.

Getting pretty dark looking out to my west, which is my default view from my work station here in the kitchen. Radar reflects a nice size line of storms moving mostly SW to NE but also drifting in my direction. I hole in the wall is still not plugged since I was abducted by the nap monster shortly after sitting down and just now was able to escape. Oh well, I doubt the house will fall down if a little rain water gets in there. Whatever it takes is worth a little rainfall, so bring it on.
-
Wind is blowing, thunder in the distance. Radar says this thing is coming my way. Can’t tell you how many times we’ve seen these can’t miss rain storms just split up at the City Limits sign, pass by, and then reform on the east side. We really need just to wet our beaks a little out of this one. Hold your breath.
-
Temp was 91 a few minutes ago – now 81 and still dropping.
-
And it’s raining a little bit finally. Nothing quite like that smell of fresh rainfall on a dry parched lawn. Don’t get that smell in the city when it rains.
-
Temp now down to 69 degrees. Loss of 32 degrees in less than 30 minutes.
-
I’m very skeptical about conspiracy theories.
Not me.
Whenever the propagandist media labels something ‘a conspiracy theory’ it’s then that I know it is not.
Jan 6 being staged was labeled a ‘conspiracy theory’ by the lying media.
The Wooden Dummy stealing the election is labeled a ‘conspiracy theory’ by the lying media.Dr gain of function Fraudci and his creation labeled a ‘conspiracy theory’ by the lying media.
They be wrong, bruddah.
-
I’m with phil on this one.The Dems diirty tricks department has no bottom limit, and the death of a few children or other citizens is no problem for them when they are trying to make a point. Shooting up a school – no problem; a Jewish synagogue, no problem; gay bar – no problem. You get the drift. Invading the Capitol building, no problem.
-

I never said I didn’t believe in all conspiracy theories, just most of them. And I have another question:
If a conspiracy requires it be executed in the dark of night, in the shadows, does a grand level fraud conducted in broad daylight like the criminal theft of a national election in the United States of America with millions of citizens screaming about it as it goes down qualify as a conspiracy or an outright coup d’état ?
Does the creation of a rogue, autocratic regime by unelected public health bureaucrats before the very eyes of the nation fit the definition of a conspiracy ?
I think not. I think we have allowed ourselves to be ruled by thugs, thieves and impudent morons.

Whenever the lefties push hard in one direction, you know the opposite is the truth.

Nice shower passed through but did not last long. The sun is now setting, and I wish I had the gift of words of description like Ms. Adee does, but this sunset is magnificent. There are scattered dark storm clouds, white cumulus clouds outlined in numerous shades of sunset orange, some turquoise blue sky in some places which fades to lighter blue as it reaches the horizon. To the east a huge rainbow that ends right over yonder, just out of reach. I should go look for that pot of gold. It’s now dark outside my north and south doors but still shining to the west. I think I’m in what’s called the terminator. Or maybe the Twilight Zone. Anyway, a different picture to see tonight, and awesome more than usual.
And a spectacular 69 degrees outside.

It’d be funny as hell if the press vultures hounded her and Manchin until they both started chanting FJB! and switched parties.

I don’t know about Sinema. She’s always been loose as a goose. She originally ran as a Green Party member, then an independent in Arizona and finally realized she would have to suck it up and join one of the two major parties to be elected. She was a big LGBT supporter and ran for US Senate as a bisexual ? whatever. Sinema doesn’t strike me as someone who gives a s**t what other people think or as someone who wants to spend the rest of her life in the DC swamp. She’s a Wild Card.

Look at us now all European cosmo with our 24 hour time stamp on the blog posts. Next the key holders to the Executive Washroom will be reporting temperature in degrees Centigrade.

How can you tell the difference between an Arizona Democrat and Republican?

My goodness and where was my invite? Did you lose my #? FWIW; I’ve been seriously thinking of a fish fry for a few days now but was waiting for cooler weather so I could catch some fish at the pond. That said; the weather here has been real nice all this week. I just have to find the time. 😉
-
I’m just fine with the 24 hour clock.
I’m up most of it anyway.
If you’re confused you need to review your 12+ tables from third grade.

But the wallet took a hit on the Catfish.
Last I saw it was $4 bucks a pound frozen BUT mullet is about $2.50 fresh whole, head/eyes on.

Ninety Nine! Teeing her up!

It’s early, at least I think it is since I’m not used to using military time yet, Bits and pieces of the cool front still hanging around, and coupling that with the rain, all the hard work I put in earlier today, and whatever other reasons you might dream up, I’m thinking of turning in early. I’ve still got that hole in the wall to deal with tomorrow, and the paint project is on indefinite hold until the emergency electrical installation is complete.
Anyway, I’ll go in there and watch a you tube video on refrigerator repair or shrimp farming or something in an effort to not go to bed before 10, but I just may not make it that long tonight. So you all have a great evening, and more later when I’m up at 3AM wondering why I went to bed so early.
Wow, I hit a first and a hunnert on the same day.
-
Catfish fillets still 7.99/lb at HEB for the last month.
I was so mad this time that I bought some.
🙂

So you all have a great evening, and more later when I’m up at 3AM wondering why I went to bed so early.
Give me a call.
Stupid dog will be waking me up at that time.
-
I’ll have to get reacquainted with military time, it used to be automatic as I worked for years when the time clock was set on military time. All’s I remember for sure is 17:00 was beer time but I never got off that early.
-
Gotta admit, that’s the first Evinrude I’ve seen in a hotrod.
Back in another life I was going to spend my retirement years building a Rotorway Helicopter from a kit and back when they first started out, they needed a small, lightweight but powerful engine and chose the Johnson/Evinrude 99 CID 115 HP V4. They came up with a way to water cool it and used it for a while until they found that the odd firing V4 would eventually shake the chopper to pieces. After that they designed their own pancake 4 air cooled engine much like all general aviation AC engines.
BTW: Thanks for the memories, I’d about forgot about Rotorway and didn’t know if they were still in business……Huumm maybe after I get the new barn/shop built I can get right on that. 😀 -
When pan frying catfish, the chef saves back the thin pieces near the tail and overcooks them to perfection at the end.

I think Sinema is a regular old opportunist and likes doubling her odds on getting laid or she just likes being the center of attention and I believe it’s the latter.
Or maybe that pretty little blond always trailing her in news photographs is her lover.
What the hell do I know ?
-
If you’re confused you need to review your 12+ tables from third grade.
I am all good. I actually prefer military time. My cell phone displays military time.
I use the 24 hr clock too because I deal with people in Mumbai. Whenever I set a deadline, I quote the time in military time with the time in both CDT and IST. Sometimes they have a habit of working until 22:30 their time which is 12:00 our time. That’s well and good except when I want something by 08:00 CDT.

Meanwhile, when Pelosi spoke to Congress today, she made a pretty big slip when she spoke about the Build Back Better bill. She said that there was a requirement to pass the bill and “keep government open.” “We have to do those imminently,” Pelosi stuttered. “More imminently to fully address the full Obama agenda of building back better.”
The full whose agenda, Baby Jane?
And that cat’s outta da bag.
-
I cannot believe catfish is $8/lb.
I never bought it in a store and, in fact, was never a big fan. The only time I recall truly enjoying catfish was when Shannon and I had some fresh out of the stock tank 4 to 5 pounders in the early spring. We hung them from a tree at the ranch and skinned and filleted them right there. Lean, no fat and little oil, end of winter catfish. We took them straight into the kitchen and fried them and that was excellent. Didn’t taste like catfish at all.

As I hit post comment for my #113, I looked at bar at the top of my phone and it said 9:50. It did a software update last night. I can’t imagine why it would change the time format on my phone.
Hey Phil, can I borrow some tin foil? I must have some gaps in my hat.

Tomorrow, our father would have turned 95 years old. It’s a long way back to Electra, Texas on the W.T. Waggoner Ranch in 1926.

With Tin foil you get a better signal.

I think my exposure to catfish was similar to what you describe there. I liked fried catfish when I was a kid in Sweetwater. There was a lake and it was fresh-caught catfish and then cooked before the sun went down. Move to Midland, no lake, no catfish meals that I ever recall. Later, in Austin, I had fried catfish at a restaurant and I found it barely edible. Nowadays, I’m much too chicken to try. (I do like Gorton’s fish sticks, wild-caught pollock according to the label.)
