  • Sure looks peaceful out there

    Sure looks peaceful out there

    War in Israel, war in Yemen, war in Ukraine, Terrorism on the rise, a proxy war with Iran, a proxy war with Russia, China eyefucking Taiwan, our border fully unsecured. Was a time the biggest concern was mean tweets early in the Am.

    There’s music for such a situation

    when the good times come back around, maybe then people will appreciate them a little bit more than what they may have otherwise.

    Sipping a coffee, I was just informing the ratdog, dog, I never thought one day I’d a grumpy old USMC Veteran, his response was like ” well bossman, here you are killing it”.

    Yeah well, things could worse, I could be looking like an sea dog and put in charge

    speaking of sea dogs

    Watch your six Ladies

    There are bad people out there training to do bad things to you

    what are you doing today?

  • All is not lost

    All is not lost

    When was the last time you were in an indoor ice rink, that’s how if feels outside right now, dress proper, you be fine. Taking nothing away from thier accomplishment, they reminded of another time and place. Something good is always welcome in these times of turmoil.

    On Friday, The USA men’s junior hockey team completed its quest for gold at the World Junior Championship in Gothenburg, Sweden. The gold medal game was very competitive for the first two periods, before the U.S. pulled away from Sweden in the third, with captain Rutger McGroarty icing up the gold medal on an empty net goal with just over three minutes remaining.

    It was the sixth time the USA men have won gold at the championship and the 15th time they have medaled. The team finished with a 7-0 overall record in the tournament, with one win in the preliminary round coming in overtime.

    Those kids saved the best for last

  • What makes a great library

    What makes a great library

    A great library has something in it that will absofuckinglutely piss of everyone, equally! When they first floated the idea of mixing a food source with an energy source, what a dumb idea,

    unless your motive was greed.

    Amagine being an 11 year old girl, with having food on the table and hearing news reports about a far away place. Gramma had a garden, grampa was good hunter down around the Cumberland Gap. She shared many stories, down the road some she spoke of a family, family of 3, she went over there to play with that girl, when supper came around, the mom put a carrot on the table, that’s all they had to eat. She also told of that family got scarlet fever. Some people came around later on and burned the house down with the bodies still in it. No one had seen the family for weeks prior, they did hang a sign about the fever outside so people knew to stay away. Terrible dreams for a long time she had. I know many stories from here side of the family many of them, most of them are about hard times.

    Watching WEAK men create Hardtimes should piss you off , it does me.

    You and yours are the carbon they want to reduce

    Holodomor

    While hearing this fella, a scene came to mind, in the film April morning, the father played by Tommy Lee Jones was asked by his son, “why you always so hard on me, always riding me?”.

    Tommy Lee holding a pitchfork, leans on it and says

    Because I won’t always be here

    Here’s a 2-fer for ya, expensive? what the hell isn’t expensive these days

    Patriot Foods, Inc. | West Olive, MI

    Put your money where your mouth is, blueberries on sale, what the hell you gonna do with that many blueberries? Surely within your group the cost and the berries can shared.

    Let them suit up

    That way we ALL can have a good laugh

  • She usta say

    She usta say

    The world has gone to hell in a hand basket.

    I probably shouldn’t share this bit of family history, if knew she I did, she’d turn her ring around and find the back of my head. Grampa served 2 years after WW1 for running moonshine, ma had a job a job at the time, a legit job, which was cover for her real job, haul the shine to work, after work, bring back the empty jugs. If one thinks the goverment cares about you, read up on how many were killed when they poisoned illegal alcohol.

    Meanwhile in the basket

    Ever wonder where all this hate for America started, I don’t.

    When I say, you cannot save everyone, there’s some that are so far gone, don’t waste time or materials.

    Something else she’d say when something went wrong,

    ” if you don’t know where to start, you start at the beginning”

    TJ, you’re up!

    The Last Lion, it’s a good read

    Only real difference from then & now, it’s our turn to Stand or fall

    I really do need more shelving around here, was moving some stuff around, opened a journal, looks new on the outside, been there for awhile

    School of hard knocks starts early, how early, well that depends on the home you grew up in, my parents both would have enjoyed this Man’s company, for he spoke thier language.

    You hungry, after all that, I’m hungry

    Life is fragile, handle with prayer

    along with firearm safety taught early on, some prayers were taught as well.

    “Our Father be our guest, let to us this food be blessed”.

  • A Trifecta of sorts

    A Trifecta of sorts

    Sips coffee, I was telling ratdog how normally I offer 2-fers, I must be feeling generous today. I’m not always in such a mood so take advantage while you can. When preparing for whatever that may come at us, I’m telling ya right now in no uncertain terms, I won’t be eating my boots like they did at Valley Forge, what happened at Morristown was even worse. Something else I won’t be consuming is G’damn bugs. You preppers out there, save yourself some dollars, those survival foods are ok for the lazy, I may be many things, lazy isn’t on that list. Why those items are so damn expensive? shipping can be a reason, the containers and packaging adds to the cost. Printing on the packages also adds to the price. They talk about 25-year shelf life, well that’s cool, now tell me something I don’t know. Something you may not know.

    Depending on the machine you buy, you can also seal jars without a lot of the canning process. That’s not a Malar bag, one time use only. Get the big bags, custom cut to your needs. Whether you’re sealing beans, bullets or bandages those clear bags work just fine.

    Some machines can run well over a thousand bucks, you don’t need to spend that of money, there’s good machines well under that amount and work just fine. “When the power goes out, never to return, what ya gonna do then Chance hmmm?”. What I was taught, I’ll count my blessings, then I’ll go out to the front yard. Late in summer, that lake doesn’t get above 43 degrees, deeper you go, the colder it gets, PVC pipe is waterproof, comes in different sizes for your needs. Use your environment wisely. “well wonder if I go full FJB an cannot remember where I put stuff?”. Engage the KISS effect.

    Keep it simple stupid

    A very old form of communication works, a tree marker for an example

    It’s this way joe

    Say there’s a pile of sandstone, who would pay a attention to a quartz rock laying by it. a marker could be anything. Your funds, you keep your funds all in the same basket, no?, survival items should be viewed the same way.

    Be honest now, do I or do I not, have the best MRE’s?.

    The original MRE, easy to do, so much better than health bars in wrappers, wrappers come with problems, they make noise, if on the move

    noise is not your friend.

  • A clear & present danger

    A clear & present danger

    I was telling the ratdog, yaknow dog, I’m a hero of sorts, yeah, there was this cow farting to much, destroying the enviro, so I turned it into jerky.

    While you drool, wanting some, chew on this:

    The reporter see this as entitlement. I see this as a military threat.

    That’s not coming from a beggar who thinks he should get a handout. That’s coming from a warrior who is planning on slitting your throat.

    You had better start wrapping your head around the idea that fighting men are crossing our border. They didn’t come here for a handout. They are here to rape and kill and soon enough you are going to find out who they are.

    This warrior is right in telling the reporter that he is not smart enough to understand who he is. The reporter is not smart enough. I pray to God that you are smart enough to know who he is. I did make mention of what she said, she wasn’t wrong.

    Some stuff is worth more knowing than other stuff

    That doesn’t mean the other stuff is worth knowing, such as

    Male bees die after mating, that is basically their life

    I summarize for those in the back eating breakfast

    Honey. Nut. Cheerio

  • Long in tooth

    Long in tooth

    I watching that eagle sipping a coffee, I’ve been waiting to see a cardinal if you understand my meaning. Seeing the eagle every morning is pretty cool to.

    Don’t know if you know this, so I’ll help you out. I got a free!, pocket size copy of the Constitution from Hillsdale College, those folks take not one G’damn penny from goverment. Offer much they do if one wants to learn stuff, stuff worth knowing. As the whole G’damn planet knows my flag was destoyed, flag pole was looking rather naked, it’s then I remembered a gift I was given while in South. If one reads the Constitution, they’ll notice something if they have reading comprehension. you will not find anywhere, the right not to be OFFENDED.

    It was a gift, I’m keeping it

    Biscuits and gravy yes, collared greens, um noo, no thank you

    Human-trafficking, rather fancy word for slavery.

    Those young boy’s faces speak loud

    Strange it is, so many are looking in the rear-view mirror, for they are not going that way

    Interesting little interview

    The mayor of Realville was wrong in one area, He spoke of the left not being able to sustain Hate, they’d burn out.

    Hate feeds on Hate

    Hate also begats Hate, as in

    don’t you just hate looters, of course any rational thinking individual would

    International affairs:

    Keep a smile on your face, for it confuses them, it also might be your last oppertunity

  • Just like Woman

    Just like Woman

    At 30 below, it’s quiet, real quiet. Something you may not have noticed, you have seen pictures of the front through the seasons, (moods).

    The climate nutballs are worried about ice forming on the great lakes, unseasonable late. They are wrong once again. Ever notice when your woman, no matter her mood, she’s still beautiful, say she’s mad at you for something stupid, she’s carrying on as you can only smile, why, because of her beauty . Selective hearing is a side effect of her beauty. Say you was to take your woman out for dinner or a gathering, some take more time than others to get ready, why is that, it’s because Woman is on her own time, there’s no changing that. They don’t take that time for others, they spend their time for you. understand… ” I think so”. Now that the finer things in life have been taken care of.

    I did call ole Pete asking about where the hell I could find some titty cheese, and yaknow he knew exactly what I was talking about. He did apologize for not knowing where to get some, said it’s been a long since he had some himself, he hung-up. Today would be a good for some onion soup, it’s easy to make, need cheese though, 3 kinds, Sharp, Mozzi and the Provalone, smoked of course. Cheese melts at 99 degrees, I didn’t have to worry about that.

    It’s a lil chilly out here and stuff to do, I’ll leave you with what I been watching and knowing President Trump kicked ass last night.

  • well that caused a smile

    well that caused a smile

    As normal, I was outside early having a coffee, there’s a radio out there, newsman was talking about Dallas freezing at -3 degrees, that’s when I smiled before sipping a coffee. It was like 7 below as the sun came up. Just think Dallas, tonight, the wizzards are talking 30 below, at that temperature, believe you me, it’s not all burritos & strippers my friends.

    Pro-tip from one who knows stuff

    and another thing Texas

    I’d rather eat crumbs with you bums then steak with snakes

    we’re good

    speaking of snakes

    “you will own nothing and be happy”

    I call B.S. on that Having my own relics room, I still have some reel to reel, 8 tracks, cassettes, cd’s, in there, hell, grampa’s old (old) record player is in there with thickass vinyl.

    Real Media is a thing

    This isn’t my grampa on mom’s side, a lil something about mine, he made beer, jumbos = about 4 beers, you drink one glass you’ll swear you drank 4 beers, yeah , he made good beer. If he was with us today, he’d be sounding like grampa.

    Much truth seen here

    Here’s a lil something to go with your coffee

    God I said before sipping coffee, why you taking me through troubled waters?

    “Because your enemies cannot swim”.

    Ok

  • Outside

    Outside

    That there is a perfect representation of the term “sonofbitch”, so instead of cussing on Sunday, I’ll insert that gif.

    opened the curtains (yes, I have curtains)

    Right then and there, I wanted to brain someone, install or remove, don’t matter, whatever works. I knew straight who

    Flashback 2000: ‘Snowfalls are now just a thing of the past’ – ‘Children just aren’t going to know what snow is’ ,ole doc david viner. I have a paper on the wall, means only one thing, I went into that world of so-called higher education, then got fuck out. People on the east coast, weird bunch to say the least, I’ve said plenty. Don’t believe me eh, those massholes in Assachusetts are being asked to house illegal aliens, don’t be surprised if they do, like that’s really gonna work in their favor.

    First word (term) after seeing my flag

    Yesterday at my desk, I wrote a letter, short note, proper spelling and punctuation using cursive, took the flag inserted in a plain vanilla envelope. I’ll mail it out on Monday, weather permitting. I suppose you are curious about the note, ok, I’ll tell you exactly what I wrote.

    You

    “Owe me a flag”, during the conversation on the phone about buying it, I was told, ” it’ll hold up” 4 months, four G’damn months. Those flags ain’t cheap man”.

    One look at my winter smoker is all it took

    You don’t understand so I’ll help you out, I like smoking stuff, cheese included, i was watching a video about how regional cheeses are made around the world, and was shown a type of mozzarella called zizzona (the z/zz pronounced like the ‘zz’ in ‘pizza’, with a ‘tz’ sound), which, yes, means “mother’s breast”. Thought I would experiment by smoking some titty cheese. I’ll have to ask ole Pete the Italiano where the hell can I get some titty cheese.

    Ever hear of trees being RACCCISSSSS, I read about that, some more that need to be brained. When I say, I see more trees than people, believe me

    I do carry note in my jacket,

    whoever is reading this, know that I’m dead, please take my rifle and knife, give them a good home, they have served me well.
