Winter?

Not according to these critters.

Will you get your shit together?

Gettin' ready to hit the road! Nate makes some last minute adjustments.

Again with gmail

March in Kentucky. You never know from day to day what you'll get.

Big Fish

That's a big assed striper my pal Jamie caught at Lake Cumberland this morning.

This pic and message was blogged from the greatest smartphone ever developed: the Palm Treo!

Treo blogging!
Nate and I will be heading for Gulf Shore's and other interesting locales soon. Now if only sprint had not blocked MMS.

Oh where, Oh where can he be,
With singles in hand and a peep in his teeth,
Oh there, oh there will Nate be.

Y'all seen Nate? There he is! Shoulda known. Always look in the peep seats.

Real Security and Major Geek Factor

This is a KGB locking device used in embassies, security officer's document safes, submarines and such. I read about it in Tower of Secrets years ago and hoped I would get to see one someday. The craftsmanship is exquisite and serves notice to just how serious those folks were about State Secrets.

Watch the video. He takes it partially apart. Damn!

Here is some further disassembly Made my palms sweat waiting for a spring or something to come flying out of there never to be seen again.

Bear in mind these are professional "safe technicians" and the videos were made for an organization which is a governing body for lock picking competition; sort of the locksmith version of a hacker. The guy doing the disassembly starts freakin' at the prospect of getting the parts out of order even though they are taping the process. There are supposedly only three of these in private hands.

They didn't actually get into the guts of the keyed section. I would be lookin' at x-rays before you could say, "lead jacket".

I have a suspicion the key and lock were manufactured at the same time by one person fitting the pins to the key. According to the book referenced above they were fitted to the .001" with fit failure resulting in locking the key into the mechanism.

Call the Department of the Treasury!

This has to be a federal crime:

29 N.J. Students Punished After Using Pennies To Pay For Lunch

Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tender" states: "United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues."

Forgive Me, Spacebunny.

I am normally pretty much neutral on the prevalence of dumb blondes, however.....



To her credit she says, "I thought europe was a country." They seem to think so, too.

Seperation of Church and State My Ass

One of the things that gets me about the average mush brains of the "progressive" persuasion is the kind of blindness they have about this sort of thing.

This is the sort of thing those who invented the "separation of church and state" bullshit wanted. Please tell me how the state investigating a church function has got the two separated. Right the first time! It's not so much "separation" as it is "control".

Read: progressive
Think: authoritarian

Two Things You SHould Worry About

When I say "worry about" you should think "prepare for":

As Vox reported, the US Northern Command as inked a deal with the Canadians to provide support to the US in event of domestic "emergency" to "save lives". Bullshit.

Next, you need to be keeping an eye on what is going on with the decrease in diversity of our food crops and the power to inhibit dispersed independent production of our food supply. When agribusinesses holds the power to have farmers prosecuted for growing food crops and can legally harass them for not using their products we got problems both with centralized control of production and the old saw that it is unwise to "mess with mother nature" applies in spades.

Recommended reading for those who wish to prepare:

Read Unintended Consequences by John Ross

EP says" Never Bring a Knife to a Gunfight."

I guess he got riled over that pic with his belly button showin'. Y'all just try and fergit that image of the pregnant man in overalls. I figure you've been clawin' out your minds eye over it anyhow.

It's On !

Vox and EP are gettin' set up to butt heads over the Reformation. EP already has his initial position up here.

I have warned told EP to not let Vox get him pissed off as that wil lock his brain up, and I told Vox that he would be required to refrain from soccer gamesmanship, i.e. scratching, hair pulling, and shrieking "bitch!".

Perhaps some fur will fly....

EP, send me a pic without your belly shining.

Men's Holiday

A little something popped into my mailbox the other day from Roli. Thought I'd share.

Mark your calendar.

Spread the word.....


Every 14th of February you get the chance to display your fondness for your
wife or girlfriend by showering her with gifts, flowers, dinner, shows and
any other baubles that women find romantic.

Secretly...guys feel left out. That's right...left out.

There's no special holiday for the ladies to show their appreciation for the
men in their life. Men as a whole are either too proud or just too
embarrassed to admit it.

This is why a new holiday has been created.

March 20th is now officially 'Steak, Blow job & Shut the F#$* Up Day.'

Simple, effective and self-explanatory...this holiday has been created so
your ladies can have a day to show your man just how much you love him.

No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town the name of the holiday
explains it all...
just a steak, a BJ & shut your mouth for the rest of the day! That's it!

This twin pairing of Valentine's Day and Steak, Blow job & Shut the F#$* Up
Day will usher in a new age of love, as men everywhere will try that much
harder in February to ensure a more memorable March! It's like a perpetual
love machine.

The word is already spreading, but as with any new idea, it needs a little
push to start the ball rolling.
So spread the word, and help bring love and peace to this crazy world.

MK Ultra: Myth or Reality

The stars are aligned and the stage is being set for the next president and our democratic congress to start in on gun owners. Looks like this is part of the US conforming to UN type globalist standards. You and me, we're to go to work, pay taxes, and bend over for those in charge without being scarily armed. We need to be controlled for our own good. We are on the path folks.

First a chicago mall shooting.
Then a St Louis City Council meeting ends in a blood bath.
Now we hear a fella was on his way to shoot up the Superbowl over some city council issues.
Update: Another shooting in Gun-Free illinois! On a Gun-Free super ultra safe campus


The thing that everyone is going to miss is that the city council shooting is what we have the second amendment for. Somebody with a little political power lookin' to give a fella a rough time should be lookin' over his shoulder.

The chicago thing must be a complete fabrication; everyone knows chicago has a gun ban.

I bet the St Louis City Council meeting has a sign on the front door prohibiting firearms from the building, so that is obviously a fabrication, too.

Obama and Hillary are gonna need political cover to get on the anti-gun bandwagon to secure their nominations.

Update:
Seems Mr. Thornton did have a beef with the St. Louis city council.

He has spoke on it as best he could in the courts, and they denied all rights to the access of protection and he took it upon himself to go to war and end the issue,” Gerald Thornton said.

Video Link here.

The reporter, toward the end of the piece, says she wants to know if there weren't any metal detectors at the door or anyone "checking for guns". What an idiotic bimbo! Dude shot a cop first thing in the parking lot you moron! What the hell does she think metal detectors do? Set off the freeze ray or maybe the killer intent on murder and mayhem will simply wait after the alarm sounds for the police to cart him off to jail?! I can hear it now, "I came to kill everyone inside, but that metal detector stopped me in my tracks. It's illegal to bring a gun into city hall, you know."

If Only the Japanese had Invaded

We could have let them keep Berkeley.

"It's a symbol, but there are consequences to symbols," he said. "A lot of people think we're anti-Marine, but there's a difference between the warriors and the war. This is an attempt to clarify that."

These sonsofbitches hate anything to do with the military all the way down to each individual mother's son be he Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, or Coast Guard. As usual, they got a little outa hand listening to each other in an echo chamber and in their enthusiasm to make themselves feel superior to the unwashed portions of this country the odor of some of excrement they spew leaked out into the clean air. They are covering this shit as fast as they can like a cat in a litter box.

"I still oppose the Marines recruiting in Berkeley because it's one way of protesting this wasteful war," she said. "Our military policy is a shambles. But we're not in opposition to the Marines; we oppose the policy that directs the Marines."

They just forgot to add, "But we support the troops!" to the end of their little protest. These are scum not fit to shine the boots of a man willing, right or wrong, to offer his life for his neighbors.

I say we offer this shithole to Japan in fair exchange for the base we have there. Not that they would be dumb enough to take it...

Anyone think California independence is a good idea? Maybe we could get them to declare war on Texas....

Meet Ranger, Lilly, Abigail, and Gracie.



This breed is called Gypsy Vanner. They are bred by Gypsies (duh) to pull their wagons and are a compact, though powerful, draft horse. The people taking the video are the owners, they would say "parents", and the video is taken on their farm. These are their first horses and I still don't understand what made them pick Vanners, but they are learning rapidly, caring concientiously for their Gypsies, and continually upgrading their facilities (I expect to be working in a heated/air conditioned barn soon!), and absolutely spoiling the shit out of these critters.



They imported two pregnant mares and had foals within a couple months. Both foals arrived as healthy fillies, but within a few months one of the mares succumbed to a previously undiscovered digestive injury. These folks were absolutely heartbroken, but they got busy bottle feeding the orphan and caring for her. She is doing great and gets lots of extra attention! (spoiled rotten)



The latest edition to the herd is a gelding named Ranger. He is a show winner and, to my eye, the best looking of the bunch.
