Roofing woes, and various things.

 That was a weird dream. I would have still been dreaming except I was "awokened? awakened? jerked out of my sleep? by an incoming text.

Roofing guy wanted to know if I was ready to make a move on getting my roof replaced.

Not only no, but hell no. He came to the house to give me a quote in a BMW. Who the hell does that? Wasn't in construction clothes but some kind of office wear. The other two guys looked like they did roofs, and drove up in semi old pickup trucks. And the bmw guy didn't have a tape measure, he used an app on  his phone to get a sky satellite to measure the roof.

That kind of stuff doesn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Then I had to call his office to remind him I wanted the quote emailed, about 2 days after he said he would send it.

Then several items in the quote said we will provide this much, but if we find more problems it's gonna cost you more money. And he left out a couple of things.

I don't do business that way. You tell me what you are going to do for how much money, and that's it. And we agreed on that while he was there. I don't want to hear we need more money for this, or this is going to cost extra. Fuck that.

I would do this myself except: I need it done in a timely fashion, and I ain't timely these days. I got up on that roof just to put tar paper over some leaks. Up there about an hour and I thought I was gonna die. I mean I just about didn't make it off, I was so pussified.

And now my right knee is giving me fits. Swells up one day and then goes to normal, and hurts at the most inconvenient time. My left hip gives out while I'm walking and I have to watch out I don't go down.

I tell ya I almost feel like I'm a damn democrat.

Wheat Cents

 Now that the .gov is no longer minting pennies, what are we gonna do?

Is everything now going to be priced to the nickel? The dime? The ten dollar bill?

A lot of folks, me included, have save pennies over the years, and I guess now would be the time to take them to the bank.

What about wheat cents? I got a bunch of those laying around, some my wife collected, and some my grandmother gave to us. The ones she gave to us gotta be pretty old.

I was looking around and found a website that supposedly has the values for wheat cents.

Here is the link:  Wheat Cents pricing.

Apparently this is the white guy who planted a pipe bomb on Jan. 6th.

 Looks like this guy, brian cole, has been arrested for planting a pipe bomb on Jan. 6th. But now I am thoroughly confused because I thought that last month a white female police officer was identified as the person who did that.

The J6 Pipe Bomber Story Is About to Get Memory-Holed.

Trump Terminates All Biden Autopen Actions

 According to a 2005 memo from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), a president need not personally affix his signature: he may direct a subordinate — or a mechanical device such as an autopen — to sign on his behalf. With the president's authorization, the mode of signature is immaterial.

Well Ho Lee Fuckin Shit.

Judge heads start exploding in 3 2 1.

Better expect a hurricanes worth of federal judges sayin: YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!!

Well I agree. A goddamn president CANNOT sign shit unless he does it with his own two evil hands. Jesus how can they not understand this shit?


You can't use an autopen to sign shit! And you can't designate someone else to sign what the goddamn president of the united fuckin states of america is supposed to sign. I don't give a flying fuck if he DID authorize it OR if the goddamn law allows it. If you don't sign your own goddamn self it AIN'T LEGAL!!!

How goddamn hard is it to understand this shit?

Found This Article in My Email.

 “Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom — not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS,” the DHS chief continued. “WE DON’T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.”

This was called a Judicial Watch News Link. I got no idea how they got my email, unless they bought it from somewhere. If they did, wheres my cut?

I hope this lady actually means what she says, it would be good if somebody did.

This is the kind of prank I can totally get behind.

 

This is interesting.

 I hope they do one about where WTF came from.

We Need More of This

 Nigga Gets Street Style Justice

Apparently this guy has been spitting on white women and he only spent one day in jail.

A couple of youngbloods decided to take matters into their own hands.

It's an interesting video.

Hope blogger doesn't delete this.

Report illegal to ICE, Get a Free Beer. Nice!

 Liberals are Raging After Idaho Bar Offers Free Beer for a Month to Anyone Who Helps ICE Identify and Deport Illegal Aliens

If I was anywhere even close to this place, I would go there and spend a few just to help support this guy.

If any of you readers are in this area go by and let us know about your experience.

Maybe if .gov would implement an incentive program of this nature, we might be free of illegals in just a month or so, maybe even just a couple of weeks.


Anne Murray ~ Snowbird (1970)

I joined the navy in 1970 and by the spring of 72 I was stationed on the USS Enterprise, at that time still labeled as CVAN65. It became CVN65 soon after I got there.
I remember first listening to this song on a jukebox in a little cafe on the end of the pier right by the parking lot.

Working When Sick

 I remember those days. Sick time? Uh Uh no way jose. I need that bill money too bad to take off work. If you're sick drink a few hot toddys and hope the chp don't catch you driving to work.

In 1991 my boss, his layabout nephew and me were doing some work at yosemite park on the cafeteria boiler. I was so goddamn sick I couldn't hardly move but I was there, boy, doing what I could. The nephew was also sick but not like me. I think I had quadruple newmonia or something.

The nephew was whining about having to work. Boss said look at him he ain't staying in the room. That made things nice didn't it.

Insurance Can Go to Hell

 Don't ever make the mistake I made by ignoring my goddamn insurance company.

Those ignorant fuckers won't renew on a small rental home I have. Because of some non existent tree limbs hanging over the roof.

I submitted pics of the roof showing no tree limbs. They sent out a 3rd party inspector who said tree limbs were hanging over the roof.

Lyin cocksuckers.

I have been calling  trying to get other insurance but a blue million of these fuckers don't supply it for california.

And now I am getting fucking bunch of calls from a call center for a place called Freeway Insurance. I called them ONE time, and now I am getting deluged. 

There is a tree company advertising on the radio about insurance companies canceling because of tree limbs overhanging the roof. He says let  us inspect  your trees.

Pretty bad when a tree company feels the need to advertise like that.

NEVER Use These 11 Gasoline Brands (& 5 That Protect Engine)

I am a little on the fence with this one. The brands of gas this guy mentions I have used most of them at one time or another. And never had an issue. Never heard of Murphy's though. I use Valero in my vehicles, and it meets these so called top tier standards.

What brand of gas do you guys use?
