I don't know why most people think a dog's life is so easy.
Every time I come home from work, I ask my dog how his day went.  He always says, "Rough!"

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!"

"How can I ever thank you?" gushed a woman to Clarence Darrow, after he had solved her legal troubles.

"My dear woman," Darrow replied, "ever since the Phoenicians invented money there has been only one answer to that question."

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."

Hey, Did You Guys Hear About This??

 Marines Remind the WHO You Don't Keep What Doesn't Belong to You


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???

The Zombies - Time Of The Season (with lyrics)

Good morning. Have some good old fashioned music.

I Like This Guy

 

Ibuprofen is my Friend.

 Yesterday I went crazy. I actually did some work.

Changed the oil in my grandson's truck. He is transferring to germany soon and brought it home to keep here while he is there.

Anyway. I don't have a lift to raise it up or a pit to walk under it. What I do have is a pretty good floor jack. So I raised it up and crawled under it. On the cold hard concrete.

Been tossin and turnin all night,  my lower spine is killing me. Finally gave up the ghost and took 4 ibuprofen about 30 minutes ago, around 4:30 AM.

It seems to be easing up a little.

I decided to do it myself because it costs up to $80 to let someone else change it for you. That's worth it. Except I'm trying to cut my expenses down some. Prices on groceries and gas are sky high here and not looking to come down soon.

I bought valvoline restore and protect 5w-30 oil in a 5 quart bottle. Cost $38.99 for the jug. Now get this. Same oil in a 1 quart bottle is $11.99 per quart. 5 quarts of that is $60. 

I have a bunch of oil filters for the truck already, so I didn't have to put out for that this time.

I have watched videos about this particular valvoline oil. They all have good things to say about it, so I am giving it a shot.

What oil do you guys use???

Good Morning

 So. I just rolled a joint.

I bet you're jealous.

Don't be. It was my ankle.



That car has one hell of a strong window.

 Watch as these guys try to break that window.

Thoughts for Today

 Siri, why do i always mess it up with women.

Welllll, to start with, I'm Alexa asshole!

Today I learned that PornHub is a canadian company. I bet if they blocked it in america, this whole trade war would end permanently.

I can't dance to save my life. But when I step in dog shit, I can moonwalk better than michael jackson.

I wish we had stopped at Standard Torx

Okay, I can see why the torx was invented. But doggone it, why the hell did you need to make MORE of these godforsaken drive styles?

Wasn't one enough? How many sets of Torx do I need to keep in  my toolbox?

Yesterday I wanted to change a turn signal bulb. T8 torx to remove the screw. Well guess what? It's not a torx but some version and now I gotta figure out which one and go get a set. It's not the security set, I tried that. All I know is T8 didn't fit and none of the others did either. 

 "There are several distinct  styles, each designed for specific applications and offering different levels of security or torque capacity." 

 The main types include:

  • Standard Torx (T): The original six-point star-shaped design, commonly used in electronics, automotive, and industrial applications. Sizes range from T1 to T100. 

  • Security Torx (TR): Also known as tamper-resistant Torx, these have a pin in the center of the star pattern to prevent unauthorized access. Sizes range from TR8 to TR60. 

  • Torx Plus (IP/EP): An improved version introduced around 1990 to increase torque and reduce wear. It features more square lobes. Sizes are designated as IP (Internal Plus) from IP1 to IP100 and EP (External Plus) from EP1 to EP42. 

  • External Torx (E-Torx): Used with socket wrenches or ratchets, these have the star pattern on the outside of the fastener. Sizes range from E1 to E100, with E8 equivalent to T40. 

  • Torx Paralobe: A further development with 6% longer flanks, providing up to 20% more torque than Torx Plus and 50% more than standard Torx. 

  • Micro Torx (MR): Smaller versions like MR0 to MR5, used in delicate electronics such as cameras and laptops. 

  • Torx Pin-Head (TP): Very small, used in internal devices like laptops and cameras. Sizes range from TP000 to TP6

It's Gettin to Be Time to Start Running These Protesters Out of the Country.

 Free speech. That's what this guy is doing. As long as he doesn't physically interfere with this LEGAL operation, he will be fine.

Three shootings in a month. If biden and the damn democrats had not ILLEGALLY let these assholes into our country, then this rodent removal would not be necessary.

Let ice do their job. Stay out of their way. Problem solved.

BREAKING: New Video Shows Moments Leading Up To Fatal Shooting Of Alex P...

This video shows the altercation and moment this guy got shot. I don't know what happened to cause the agent to draw his pistol. But it looks like the agent saw something that did in fact make him think Pretti was going to use a weapon. Draw your own conclusions after watching the video.

Here We Go Again

 Jesus H. Christ.

For about 3 decades now I have been predicting the Civil War 2.0 was going to erupt any day now.



And I have been obviously dramatically wrong. 

But now these democrats are going so goddamn fucking stupid I am thinking once again Civil War 2.0 is right around the corner.

But not started by our side. No Sir, it is being started by these crazed lunatics who hate Trump so bad that they love illegal alien criminals more than they love their kids.

They hate Trump. And that is the crux of the whole goddamn thing. 

They hate Trump. They don't give a flying fornication he is the only prez since Reagan who actually gives a shit about the country instead of politics.

And they hate him so bad they are pushing this country to the brink of war, and I think they are just one stray red hair away from going complete bonkers, even more so than they are now.

It is time to start filling your coffers even deeper than you have been.

What Goes Around, Comes Around

Shit like this:

Arizona attorney general suggests SHOOTING ICE agents under state's 'stand your ground' law 

Is why shit like this is happening:

Armed Man Shot, Killed by Federal Agents in Minneapolis

If biden and you asshole democrats  hadn't elected to splurge on illegal aliens in this country, then we wouldn't have to be yanking these fuckers out to ship them home.

It is time to arrest some people. Arrest Walz, Frey and whoever  this arizona ag is. Hold them accountable.

When will it end?

 

Things like this is why I only buy vehicles from private party.

Good Morning

 There was a safety meeting at work today. The guy asked me: What steps do you take in the event of a fire. I guess fucking big ones was the wrong answer.

Back around 1985 or 1986 I worked at a boiler company. My work truck was a dodge kary van, a big box truck. It was gray gray gray, couldn't hardly see it in the fog. One of my job was maintaining the heating system on several chicken growing ranches. A large crew of illegals did the work of getting the individual houses ready for baby chickens. I came into the ranch a little hot one day and slid to a stop in front of the boiler room. All of these guys were illegal. As I jumped out of the truck all I could hear was La Migre La Migre as they hauled ass out of there. Took almost 2 hours to get em back to work is what I was told as they asked me not to do that again.

If you've ever said I'll do that when hell freezes over, good news. You're scheduled to do that this week.

I would like a hardback copy please.

 

Are you guys ready for the storm coming your way???

 A major winter storm is forecast to impact the South and Southeast this weekend, bringing a mix of rain, snow, and ice to areas unaccustomed to such conditions. Cold air from an Arctic blast, now locked in place, will interact with a moisture-rich system moving from Texas and Oklahoma, creating hazardous travel conditions. 

  • Ice and freezing rain are a primary concern, particularly for cities like Dallas, Oklahoma City, and Little Rock, where the track of the storm system will determine the severity. 

  • Snow is possible from northern Texas to northern Georgia, with Atlanta potentially seeing a wintry mix. 

  • Temperatures across the South will be 20–30 degrees below average, with daytime highs in the 30s and 40s, and wind chills dropping into the teens as far south as Alabama and Georgia. 

  • Travel disruptions are likely, especially on elevated surfaces like bridges and overpasses, where even light freezing rain can create dangerous icy conditions. 

  • Confidence in the forecast is growing, but timing and precipitation amounts remain uncertain—monitor local forecasts closely for updates. 

Preparation is key: Ensure vehicles are winterized (check battery, tires, antifreeze), and keep emergency kits stocked. Stay updated through local meteorologists as conditions evolve.
