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.

Does this video illustrate how the republicans and democrats operate??

Goddammit. Thats just about enough of this shit.

“We’re Here to Arrest a Child Sex Offender!” 

What's that old saying: Enough is enough!

I don't know what act, order, or whatever President Trump has to put in place, it is time to send in the military to Minneapolis and the  rest of minnesota.

And I'm not talking a measly/paltry 1500 troops either. I'm talking 100,000 troops on the ground.

It's time to arrest frey, walz, any police who will not act to maintain the peace. Why the hell should normal people follow the law when the police refuse to do their job?

It's time to arrest ALL of these damn agitators. They stormed a church service by the  way. Why didn't those parishioners get up and beat the livin shit out of them?

President Trump should send in the US Marshalls, the fbi, the national guard. Hell, Ft. Riley Kansas is not too far from there, send them in.

I mean jesus h christ, enough is enough.

Senator Hawley Wants to Know: Can Men Get Pregnant?

 

@cspanofficial Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) pressed Dr. Nisha Verman, an obstetrician-gynecologist and fellow with Physicians for Reproductive Health, during a Senate hearing Wednesday on whether "men can get pregnant." "I am a person of science, and I'm also someone here who's here to represent the complex experiences of my patients and I don't think polarized language or questions serve that goal. I don't think they serve the American people," she told the senator, who then cut her off.   "It is not polarizing to say that there's a scientific difference between men and women. And I want this to be clear and for the record. It is not polarizing to say that women are a biological reality and should be treated and protected as such," Sen. Hawley said.   "Your refusal to recognize women as women and men as men is deeply corrosive — to science, to public trust and yes, to constitutional protections for women as women. And I think it's extraordinary that you would sit here and advance a political agenda that has been thoroughly discredited and rejected by the American people."   #cspan #senate #joshhawley ♬ original sound - C-SPAN

Well, I think I would too. What about you?

 

Thursday Good Morning

 I was talking to a cute lady the other day. 

She said can you list two structures that hold water.

I got all embarrassed cause I couldn't think of any. 

All I could say was Well, Dam.

I was abducted by aliens last night. They made me wash my hands, brush my hair, straighten my clothes, and eat my vegetables.

Turns out I was on the mothership.

The next time someone upsets you, just tell them to F.O.C.U.S.

Fuk Off Cuz Ur Stupid.

Why was E the only letter in the alphabet to get a Christmas present?

Cause the rest of the letters were naughty.

 Reuters: US Military Action Against Iranian Regime May Start within the Next 24 Hours

Why?

What possible good can come of this?


Todays Rant

 Well I am happy to announce my old pickup passed smog today.

Yesterday I couldn't get the O2 sensor heater monitor to set. Had to let it sit overnight, and then this morning it ran the monitor. All I had to do then was drive it about 20 miles and the remaining monitors set okay.

Still has a slight rough idle, but the misfire code isn't setting, so I gained a little on that.

Now if I can get state farm off my ass about the bushes at a small house I rent to my grandson. They told me they wouldn't renew the policy. Then they called and said they will renew the policy when I send them photos of the trimmed bushes.

Just did that. Hope those effers are hap hap happy. But just in case, here is nice photo for them to frame.

Vacuum Gauge

There’s nothing more basic than the fact that an engine is just a big air pump 

I have been diagnosing/troubleshooting/not having any success my 99 dodge dakota 3.9l engine.

It failed smog in november by 5 ppm hydrocarbon and I am just now getting a round tuit.

It has had an intermittent misfire for a few years. As in it works just fine for a long time and then comes back. And now it's got a rough idle.

Anyway in the course of working on it I found the above article and I thought it was good enough to share.

Enjoy.

State Farm Sucks Ass

 State farm insurance sucks balls. They wanted photos of a rental property I own.

Sent the photos then they said they sent a "third party investigator" to my house. Based on that they said I have dead treelimbs hanging over the roof(no tree limbs overhanging) and 3 bushes that touch the house.

So based on that they said they will not renew the insurance.

Today my socalled agent called. Wanted me to submit photos I had trimmed the bushes.

I asked why because state farm has already said they won't renew.

Oh yes they will renew.

Can I get that in writing?

No.

Holy Crap! It's already Jan 7???

 Which is easier? Invade venezuela and arrest the socalled president and his wife? 

Or kidnap a kid from a somali daycare center?

 This Is The Part Of The Story That Leads To War With Russia And China

I sure as hell hope this doesn't happen.

If it does we are gonna find out if the phrase a gun behind every blade of grass is gonna be true or not.

With at least half of this country in love with russia and china and the way they do things, I don't know if the other half of us can hold the line.
