Firewood

Firewood BTU Ratings Charts for Common Tree Species 

A friend of mine and his wife, Jorge and Karina, delivered a cord of wood to me today. I didn't really need it, but I decided what the heck.

I have the money now, and the way our government is going they might shut my social security off if I refuse the jab. Which my wife and I have both refused.

So, that brings me up to about 3 cords or so of wood, and with the mild winter I am expecting, I doubt if  we burn much over a cord this year.



It is almond wood. I have tried other woods in the past, and I have decided I prefer the almond wood. I paid $250 delivered and stacked, which is about the going price around here. 

Plus, I get to help a friend out, and visit with them for a while. All in all I thought it was worth it. 

That rubbermaid shed in the background, on the other hand, was not worth the money I paid for it. The entire shed has lasted okay, but the doors started coming off the second year I had it.





Our Descent Quickens

 Our slide into 3rd world status recently has accelerated. And this article with video attached shows part of it.

Now don't get me wrong, it is about time our side started yelling back at these assholes. And I would have loved to see them start throwing punches. In order to get better, punches on the floor of congress need to be thrown.

But I would love to see a return to some semblance of civility mixed with compromise.

Mayor Told School Board to Resign

 An ohio mayor threatened a school board with criminal charges if they didn't resign. Here is a link to that:

Mayor calls for Ohio school board to resign over material suggesting kids write about sex, drinking

I have been looking for info on this to see what happened, to see if they resigned, but can't find any. 

Does anyone else have info on this?

A Good Joke

Got a good joke in the email. I thought I would share it:

An elderly gentleman was giving a newlywed some advice.

"We have been married for seventy-four years and we never fight" he informed the young man.

"The key is to take your bride to a romantic location on your landmark honeymoons. In fact, I took the Mrs to Paris for our fiftieth anniversary."

His curiosity pricked, the young man asked "What are you going to do for your seventy-fifth anniversary?"

"Well, I am considering going back and getting her."

How to Test Golf Cart Batteries - Troubleshooting Batteries

I have been searching the net and youtube for info about testing battery electrolyte with a hydrometer. Simple procedure. 
But. I get 2 different numbers if I sample by doing one test only, or if I mix up the electrolyte somewhat by drawing 2 or more samples and mixing it back in. 
Does anyone out there know anything about this?

Building the Wall

From Common Cents Blog--Texas takes matters in own hands - Texas Will 'Quickly Work To Begin Building That Border Wall' GOV ABBOTT VIDEO (donate) 

When a state government has to take over and do what the federal governement is supposed to do and protect our southern borders by building a wall to try and stem the tide of illegal immigration, then the federal government has ceased to exist.

Ho Harris is supposed to be in charge of this crap. Well where the hell is she? Nobody has seen her in a while.


Grocery Prices Today

 My wife and I dropped in to the local State Foods grocery store, which we lovingly call the High Dollar Store.

She wanted to get some green beans, and I decided to click a few pics.

I can get food cheaper at other places, but I have to drive a minimum of ten miles in either direction to get there. My wifes foot is still problematic after breaking her big toe last friday. She tripped on a cord I had strung out from the garage to outside so I could use a drill motor.

We have a fridge and a freezer out there and she was accessing the fridge, and didn't lift over the cord well enough.

The color of her toe and foot was kind of a mixture of black, blue and purple. Ugly color.

I somehow deleted a pic of a loaf of Oroweat 100% whole wheat bread at $5.39 loaf. And on a display on the way out of the store was scotts paper towels. They were the choose a size. You know how on the pack it will say 6 rolls equals 12 rolls? This pack said 6 rolls equals 11 rolls. Funny strange.

Anyway, here are the pics.

Have You Checked Out Older Car Prices?

 74 Ford Bronco, $35000. Are you Kidding Me?




1985 Chevy Silverado, $16,500. Is this for real?


1995 Chevy Silverado, $14,800. Nice truck, but damn!



In other news, looks like I left the front windows open all night. Fortunately we didn't wake up with our throats cut.

I am rather glad I retired when I did. I have been noticing of late that I am getting supremely drifty in my old age. Forgetting things like, I left the garden hose running in the flower bed for several hours. Normally I set my phone timer but oldhimers seems to be taking up residence and I keep forgetting.

This one is to Ben and Jerry's ice cream about their gay ice cream. 

It is sexually explicit, so be warned.
