Night Light

 I used to keep lots more lights on at night than I do now. So in an effort to have a little more light during the night I looked on amazon for portable camping lights and I found and bought these:

FLRONGSUN Solar Bulb Light 350LM Solar Powered Portable Camping Light Led


They come in a set of two. I have been hanging one in my kitchen and one in my hallway at night. With the remote I can place the bulb on low setting, and it makes a wonderful nightlight to help me wander around without bumping into furniture. You know, when I go to the fridge and dig out a beef frank and a few Claussen pickle spears. Put salt on the pickle. MM MM good.

The set needs to be placed in the sun during the day for recharge. Or at least I think it does, I haven't tried running it two days in a row. I have gotten myself into the routine of setting these outside soon after I get up in the AM, and so far so good.

I am contemplating buying a couple more sets of these to use outside. I have a motion detector light mounted on the garage to deter nighttime visitors in my driveway, but the doggone motion detector defies my attempts to get it adjusted so it turns the light on when I want it to.

So I thought I might put one of these at the end of the driveway. The remote has a setting for on at dusk and off at dawn. 

At the very least maybe I can provide light for the brigands stealing my broken down truck.





They are trying to stepup their game.

 Will We Be Seeing Blue Helmets in the US Sometime Soon?

If these blue helmet bastards actually try to take over, they might could be on the right path to being a few feet underground.

As many people have stated, blue helmets make a very good aiming point. 

And after them, their masters.

The Recent Scotus ruling apparently had fake facts submitted

 In fact, until he received a call this week from a reporter from the magazine, Stewart said he had no idea he was somehow tied up in a case that had made it to the supreme court.

How the freaking hell does THIS  happen. 

The guy who supposedly initiated the whole lawsuit doesn't even know he's in it??? And it makes it all the way to SCOTUS???

This is that colorado thing about the website designer and gay weddings.

You got some splainin to do Lucy!!

Kamala Did It!!!

Blame it on the (almost) Black. 

That's RAAACIS.

I gotta tell on myself.

 Looks like I gotta fess up. I'm getting old blind and senile all at the same time I guess.

I know I need to change the oil in my truck. I'm not gonna do it anymore so I got this place I take it to, but I have been lazy and haven't been there in a while.

So about a month ago I started my truck, and the check gauges light came on. Turns out it was low oil pressure.

So after a few rounds of WTF is this, I pop the hood. Pull the dipstick and damn if it ain't full. Which is a good thing.

Start the truck and the oil psi comes right up to snuff. 

So this goes on for about a month. I don't see anything wrong with the oil sending unit, and the dash gauge appears to function correctly.

So yesterday it happened and I decided to check the oil again. 

Sonofabitch it was 3 1/2 quarts low. Now I KNOW that damn thing was full. But I put the oil in and lo and behold my oil pressure problem goes away.

And today I smelled hot oil so I gotta crawl under it and look for a leak.

But I guess I have to start paying closer attention to what I'm looking at from now on.

Now this is interesting. Makes me want to buy a Toyota Hilux

 The Best-Selling Vehicles in the World By Country

Sent in by Johno.

This is an interesting thing. The US and Canada appear to be in love with ford f150. I would have thought dodge ram had the number one spot that seems to be all i see here in central california.

But what really caught my eye was the southern part of africa. Know how in all the shows that feature warlords in that area? How all the fighting parties seem to have one of those pickups with the big ass gun mounted in back? I think those are called technicals. 

Those trucks gotta be toyota hilux, which is what I have always heard them called. Toyota hilux appears to be the brand favorite for that part of the world. And check out what the favorite truck in panama is.

Maybe because big ass guns are easy to mount in them?

I gotta get me one of those, complete with the big ass gun.

I can see it now, pull up to the range, go to check in, the guys say whatcha shooting today and I pull out this belt of ammo. Hah!!

You can tell I don't know shit about those guns.

If you don't love it leave it. And don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

 

Personal Solar for your Truck or Car

 I think solar for private use is a great idea. The guy in this video seems to have a good idea. Use this idea and create your own use for the trailer.

Build a trailer like this to power your house. It's portable for emergency use when the breaker panel at your relatives house fries due to earthquake or something. Or whatever use you may need.

Say cutting lumber at the house you are building.

You know those memes that have the electric car pulling a generator?

Good Morning

Today is July 5. Hope we have another July 4 next year.

 We May Get Our Own Chance Yet.

Phil  has a great post up at his place.

I urge you to go read it. Read all of the comments too.

You may agree or not agree with some or all of the items talked about, but I believe it will get you to thinking.

At least I hope it does.

I've been sayin this.

 Gordon Chang: China's 'Shock Troops' Now Inside U.S.

The link is from It Ain't Holy Water.

Joe Biden needs to be frogmarched into prison for doing this shit, and I mean right goddamn now.

THIS is what I have been saying for years now. THEY ALREADY HAVE AN ARMY HERE!!

And it isn't just the chinks, it's EVERY country out there that hates us.

All of south america, all of asia, all of africa including south africa, almost all of the middle east.

Every one of those damn countries has been putting sleeper agents into the good ole usofa and that sonofabitchjoebiden and his hoe kamala and every goddamn democrat is complicit in this.

They think they will be left alone when the balloon goes up? Think again dorothy, there ain't gonna be no ruby red slippers this time.

If you folks don't have a trillion rounds of ammo laid up it's time to start laying it up. Time to get some alternative power set up and some longterm food. As Josey Wales said, It's time to get plumb Mad Dog mean.

Man it's hot

It's hot today, so I am lazy.

 I am  staying inside my house. Got all the drapes closed, all the lights off, the air is on, fans are on. 

I'm just chillin. Supposed to get to 106 today. Got the freezer in the garage defrosting. Note to self: when I buy a freezer make sure it has automatic defrost if available.

So I'm sitting on my couch reading a story at Paw Fiction on my phone.

This is a story about government gone bad. The locals have to go and get rid of the femanazi people. So when they get there, the main character throws two skunks into the house to get the femanazis to run outside. And they do.

But this makes me remember. When I was working for the boiler company in the 1980's I was called out to a local chicken ranch to get the hot water boiler started again. It wouldn't run and the poor little chickies were getting cold.

So I'm working away and the ranch manager is talking to me and he starts relaying a story about a skunk getting into a chicken house last summer. Now bear in mind these chicken houses are about a football field long and about 50 feet wide.

So this skunk was leaving mayhem and dead chickens every night.


So this manager stays up with the chickens one night and here comes this skunk out of a hole in the wall. When the skunk sees the human it turns tail back into the wall. I asked the guy what he did then?

He looked at me and said I engaged in Hand to Gland combat. I tore that wall open and went in after the skunk. Couldn't get my body in there but I got enough in to grab that skunk.

I don't remember the story after that, but I do remember laughing my ass off at him. And at the satisfied look on his face as he recounted the exploit.

Do you think any of those america hating bastards in congress will support this?

 Republican Rep. Wesley Hunt Proposes Making July ‘American Pride Month’

If february can be learn to love a black person month, and june can be learn to love a queer month, then by god July can be Learn to Love America month.

This is a concept that is long past due.

Piss on black people who hate america and piss on queers who hate america. You people can go to france and join in the love going on over there.
