Almond Trees in Bloom

 These trees are located on avenue 12 about 2 miles east of hiway 99 near madera, california. About 5 to 6 miles from my house.

You see the white stuff on the ground? Those are blooms that have fallen. Sometimes there are so many that it looks like snow has fallen.

Scam Callers

 Do scam callers actually get away with it? Do they really think I'm gonna give them ANY of my information?

I have, in the last 3 days, received numerous calls from people who can BARELY SPEAK ENGLISH. I mean, english as in their 14th or 15th language. As in BARELY.

I would love to get the free gas and electricity for seniors they are offering from my provider PGE.

But am I gonna sign up for that over the phone when my phone says scam likely? 

I don't think so Tim.

I know PGE is NOT Likely to provide me with anything free. Especially since they sent me an email a few months back saying rates would go up in the next 5 years by 4.5 billion bucks.

I mean, who would you believe? The one saying it will be free, or the one who says I am gonna bend you over and shove those transmission cables up your ass?

Is This Real??

The Fictional 2026 Rio Bravo Reimagining

A website, NIWSZONE, published an article titled "🎬 Rio Bravo (2026) – Loyalty, Courage, and the Law", which describes a fictional reimagining of the classic 1959 Western.  This article lists Kevin Costner as part of an all-star cast that includes Tom Selleck, Sam Elliott, and Jeff Bridges, directed by a fictional "John Miller." The site presents fake details such as a 9/10 rating, release date (February 14, 2026), and streaming links, but no credible studio, production news, or cast confirmation supports this. 

This appears to be AI-generated or satirical content, possibly designed to mimic real movie news. As such, the claim that Kevin Costner is starring in a Rio Bravo remake is not factual.

Louisiana Highway Department employees stopped at a farm and talkedwith an old farmer. The man in charge told the farmer, 'We need to inspectyour farm for a possible new road.'

The old farmer said, 'OK, but don't get out in that pasture over there.'

The Highway Dept. employee flashed out his identification card andsaid, 'I have the authority of the State of Louisiana to go anywhere I want.See this card? I will go wherever I wish.'

So the old farmer went about his chores.It wasn't too much later when the farmer heard loud screams and yelling.
He looked over and saw several Highway Department employees running for their lives and right behind was the farmer's huge prize bull. The bull was madder than a hornet's nest and was gaining on the Highway employees at every step.

The old farmer yelled out, 'Show him your card, Smart Ass.... Show himyour card!!

A man follows a woman out of a movie theatre. She has a dog on a leash.

He stops her and says, "I'm sorry to bother you, but I couldn't help but notice that your dog was really into the movie. He cried at the right spots, he moved nervously in his seat at the boring parts, but most of all, he laughed like crazy at the funny parts. Did you find that unusual??"

"Yes," she replied, "I found it very unusual ... because he hated the book!"

There were two evil brothers. They were rich and used their money to keep their ways from the public eye. They even attended the same church and looked to be perfect Christians.

Then, their pastor retired and a new one was hired. Not only could he see right through the brothers' deception, but he also spoke well and true, and the church started to swell in numbers.

A fundraising campaign was started to build a new assembly.

All of a sudden, one of the brothers died. The remaining brother sought out the new pastor the day before the funeral and handed him a check for the amount needed to finish paying for the new building.

"I have only one condition," he said. "At his funeral, you must say my brother was a saint."

The pastor gave his word and deposited the check.
The next day at the funeral, the pastor did not hold back. "He was an evil man," he said. "He cheated on his wife and abused his family." After going on in this vein for a small time, he concluded with, "But, compared to his brother, he was a saint."

I like Rubio. He doesn't seem to play around much. He always seems to know what he is talking about.

And so far I haven't heard of him getting rattled by anything.

As for the WHO, fuck em. 

Personally, I think the marines should have videoed the entire exercise and made our leftwing media play it nonstop.

Can you envision the exploding heads of cnn etc???

Transmission

 I am having some transmission issues. Got a couple of codes, some shuddering issues. 

First step for me was to get a trans fluid filter replacement and fluid refill at my oil change place. I figger what the heck, can't hurt, maybe it will help.

I am thinking dirty fluid could cause the problems I am having.

Except they do not do that. Can't afford to stock all the filters they said.

Wait a couple of weeks. Today I called 2 trans repair shops and asked for a quote on a transmission fluid flush with filter replacement. Neither shop will do that. Drain and fill only.

I called a garage and they basically said I was stupid. Not in so many words. He said you do that and you will burn out your transmission, guaranteed. He also said no need to replace the filter, the flush will clean the filter.

So looks like I will have to diy a fluid/filter replacement. I am SO looking forward to laying on that cold hard concrete.

What are your thoughts on this subject???
