U2 UB!!! Don’t be a stranger!! We enjoy your company and look forward to your appearances!

People here illegally should NOT have all the same rights as those here legally! Humanitarian protections should be in place, but the right to bear arms, free education, government subsidies and government funded healthcare, (not including emergency medical care) should be reserved for legal occupants of the nation. Those not here legally should be properly sheltered and promptly transported to the border or, at their option, sent back to where they came from! Too many immigrants have gone through the process of meeting the requirements for naturalization and sworn their allegiance to their new country to be disrespected by allowing illegal immigrants to bypass the system with real or imagined impunity!!

I don’t think I ever watched twelve consecutive minutes of MTV!! I mostly listen to music. I seldom watch it except for live performances and then in person.

Potential Opportunities!!

PLEASE SEE MY PREVIOUS POST!! The catalytic converter DOES NOT completely eliminate CO, even under perfect conditions!! It is not very good at all when the engine/system has not reached optimum operating temperature!

Catalytic converters are highly effective at reducing CO emissions, but they don't eliminate it completely, and a failing system or leak can still make a car deadly in confined areas. They also don’t work well on startup when the engine/system is cold! The catalytic converter does greatly reduce CO emissions when heated up and in good working order, but never completely eliminates CO.

Should never have been a question of whether it’s legal or not! Still a matter of whether this applies to the rest of the state.

A thorough explanation of what is at stake in the upcoming decision to grant or not grant certiorari in Trump v Barbara, and what possibly could come from a decision if certain. is granted. I have my own opinion on this and I’ll just say that it all hinges on the applied definition of “citizen”.

Good news! Hopefully, this will survive the legislative process.

On the surface, this sounds pretty good! A more specific definition of what is considered a law abiding citizen should be required. Much of what Dhillon outlined is very positive!

I’d bet that they agonized over this for half a second! One would expect nothing less from them!!

A blessing and a curse!!

I TAUGHT him because I didn’t want to waste time or material and he didn’t want to fool around with a bunch of messed up stuff! Anyone who doesn’t seek advice and knowledge when it’s readily available shouldn’t try to do something that they don’t know anything about! That’s especially true when something or someone’s safety depends on doing the job right. We make a living repairing things for other people and their convenience and safety are our primary concerns. For those who want to fiddle around on stuff that’s not essential or not as important safety wise, it’s all well and good! Some of the things we do and work on are used in situations where life or limb can be lost or damaged. I learned to weld by doing it. My dad was there to supervise and critique. He critiqued my work with a hammer!! There were no books or classroom. When I figured out that I wanted to use the things I’d learned, I went and found knowledge and honed my skills.

BUT!! I taught my son to weld on a MiG welding machine! The only major difference is the hiss of the gas when you pull the trigger and that you don’t have to go back and chip slag. When I learned to weld, MiG and TiG were new and almost unheard of, if they were even available! Learning on modern equipment is quicker if you understand the principles and have someone to get you started. I’d trust my son’s welding as much as I trust my own. He hasn’t ever used the old buzz box. I might orta teach him about it sometime.

Rooster!! I have fired .45 Cowboy Special from my 1860 Henry replica. Cartridges loaded properly in .45CS will very closely duplicate the original .44 Henry cartridge!

I have my dad’s ol Lincoln buzz box! It’s one of the originals with all copper winding and wiring! I learned to weld with it. It sits against the wall in my shop and I break it out when I need to weld cast iron. I have two antique MiG welders that do most of my work and I DON’T have things often break when I weld them. I can also TiG and torch weld, braze and sweat solder! My dad originally taught me how to weld and I took classes in shop in high school. I did my first successful welding when I was about ten years old! As far as sound goes, bacon frying is good, but a faint whistling sound gives you great penetration and super clean welds.

Sadly

And nailed down!

More like OOOGLY!! It DOES have a bit of a steampunk look to it! I wonder what round it’s designed to fire!!

That’s exactly how I handle shopping! If I go into a store, it’s BUYING!! I know what I’m after and I get in and get out as quickly as humanly possible!! I can stop at a convenience market for Schoolmarm to pick up a candy bar and it’ll take her twenty minutes to get in and maybe get out and about half the time she will have forgotten the candy bar! I drop her at the door of whatever store she wants to go to and I park where I can see her when she’s leaving. I have thousands of songs on my playlist and I set it on random and kick back! I try to park where she can see the car because she’s liable to take forever and I might doze off! 🤣

Got the results from Schoolmarm’s doctor visit last Friday. Came by text last night. No malignancy and no other serious issues. She was worried after seeing a preliminary report that she might have developed celiac disease. Big false alarm, but we had to put up with her trying to change everything she eats! She’d shown no symptoms, but she went into panic mode!! I had my last foot doc appointment for the year on Tuesday morning and met my new physician’s assistant. She’s competent and thorough. Clean bill of health and no need to go back for three months!! I don’t have any more medical appointments at this point until February!! I don’t think I’ll know how to act, not having to fight downtown traffic and hauling my a$$ to town two or three times a week!! I guess getting myself in some kind of shape is the next hurdle!! I’ve set a goal to shoot the first of the month match at Wartrace on January 3rd. That’s a little over three weeks away WE’LL SEE!!

Just go make some more!!!

Whitey!! Hope it works well for you!! See ya’ after Christmas!!

One’s a hole in the water! The other’s a hole in the pavement! You can dump money in those holes from now ‘til doomsday and never fill ‘em up!!

Shore line!
