Yeah,
I was in one the other day, there were six boxes on the otherwise barren shelves. Three 100 count 22 or Mini Mags & three 50 count 22 WMR Maxi Mags.
Had to leave the 22 WMRs, there was a three box limit.

The van, under a covered carport was 109. But it's a dry heat. AND killing the ponderosa pines, we have left.

High of 68 and scattered showers today. Forecasters are threatening 88 and sunny next week. We'll see.

If anyone was curious, this is Stampy. When we bought her she was about the size of a quarter. That's just about the size of her eye, now.

22" in length is a bit misleading if you dont know just how tall & wide she really is.

[Irving]

I was wondering, thanks. Took me a minute for the name reference.

[ChickNorris]

Yup. She would head butt everyone else when she shared a tank. Suited her then & now.

Yeah, I had a Red Pacu when I lived in TX, before they were made illegal to own. They're more pumpkin seed shape than the Tambaqui. Nice fish, CN.

We bought fresh cherries tonight to encourage her & see if she was ready to eat. She was. They are her favorite.

Tangentially related: she really likes pumpkin seeds too

My wife made me laugh pretty hard a few minutes ago....I was leaving the kitchen and heading back to the garage and the Ingram show....and she said,

They wanted me awake, to tell them is there was any discomfort, or what i felt. Once they hit the prostrate. Discomfort? Yeah i have a middle age woman stretching my penis out while she S L O W L Y inserts a tube. That feels like a pressure washer, blasting my urethra . Even worse, they didn't validate my parking.

The windmills also use a somewhat toxic epoxy, that gets applied to the blades. Vestas required their workers to wear PPE along with respirators. The leftover epoxy is considered hazardous waste.

Hey, great news ! Four out of five of my biopsies came back negative, which means I'm not as fucked up as I could be. Now I just gotta deal with the multiple hand surgeries and possible foot and nerve problems.

They're professionals....which is why it would be funny in the first place.

If I stuck cameras up peoples asses every day, and saw some funny shit like that, it would at the very least make my day if not the whole week.

You can't think about yourself all the time, and it's compassionate and diversely inclusionary to think about others instead.

Larson won the third Nascar Cup race in a row, and placed twice recent. Clearly they've found some gray area that tech hasn't found yet, and good for them.

I'm also happy that the Vegas Knights tied their series up tonight, next game (5) is in Vegas tuesday evening. They beat up the Avs, it would be nice to see them play for Lord Stanley's Cup.

helpful hint. Buy a pair of dishwasher gloves. Water proof and with some painters tape on the end, will keep the stitches on your hand dry.

Bidets are a lot more affordable again. Mine has heated seat + heated water + heated fan dry. You only have one life, might as well have a solid luxury like this...

[ChadAmberg]

I'm rather bummed. My neighbor, a really nice lady who was only 34, died last week. Mom to a 7 year old boy too. Had a seizure, then was in a coma for a week until she died on Thursday.

We'd always chat out in the alley behind our houses. She was single though the dad was always good about everything and he only lived a couple miles away and helped her out a lot. My wife and I were recently helping her figure exterior colors to paint her house.

Her dad owns the house she was in, I wonder if he is going to keep it after this. In that situation I'm sure I would sell the place, but the parents live like 2 blocks away and would still always be going by here, so that has to hurt. I guess it helps that she wasn't home when it happened.

Going to the funeral on Wednesday but this rather sucks. She was a good person.

Just make sure you light it from the ground, and not from a flood light installed on the gutter that just blinds all the other houses on the street. Unless you don't have anyone across from you.

Hell's built on Regret

[Hummer]

We just had fifteen minutes worth of a rare drenching rain at our Central Orchard Mesa farm east of Grand Junction. I've been pump irrigating for three days but the brief rain matches the effort and is far more widespread in effect. All the plants and animals will get a boost from this. Insect life will burgeon and the birds and other animals will benefit in turn. Water is life in so many ways.

This afternoon I watched a juvenile Mockingbird bathe in the water basin outside the kitchen window. A Blue Grosbeak was calling on territory from the greasewood along the canal below, and Lesser Goldfinches were singing while feeding on thistle in the yard. Four days ago American Kestrels, America's smallest falcon, fledged four young from the nest box on the house. The whole family group is now hunting the farm for mice, lizards and large grasshoppers. Gambel's Quail which have suffered mightily from the drought and local feral cats were here calling from the brush pile in the yard. More rain, please.

At Safeway today, I was in the lot and walking towards the entrance.... Mongo had just rounded up the carts from the return bin, and I was passing an old woman unloading her shit.

I said Hey, I could use a cart, mind if I help you unload your stuff in your car. She was happy to have the help, and I reminded her to not forget her purse. The store didn't have all the shit I needed, so I had to go across the way to the Nazi regime that calls itself "Walgreens" to get hosed over there. In the checkout line I was about to get totally fucked over because I don't have an "SS" card, the customer at the register next to me punched in her code for me.

The purchase that would have been $45 without the card of the racist party, was then the $11 dollars that the tag on the shelf indicated in the first place. I thanked her very much.

Ours are closely related, I get them in the house all the time. Or I should say, used to. You can get UV flashlights at harbor freight or lowes cheap. I started exterminating them in a broad area around the house and it solves the problem. Over 145 killed last year. Only at about 14 so far this year. Usually just pack a hammer and the UV light.

Well, it's a few more things than that, but it's the idea that they'd charge you that much more money for a purchase just because you weren't in their collective. $11 if you're part of the Borg, or $45 if you're "just some asshole that needs something".

It's been 3 years since I took booster shot. I am debating I should take it every 9 years. I fear of tetanus.

After the initial tetanus series, booster shots are recommended every 10 years. If you experience a puncture wound, it's best to get the booster shot regardless of when you had your last tetanus shot.

Got a Cortisone shot in my right knee today prep for the next treatment. Feels worlds better already. Like they pulled out the icepick. I might actually get some sleep.

Next up, 3 weekly(ish) rounds of jello shots in both starting in 3 weeks.

F'kn right knee cartilage is 80-90% gone thanks to osteo in them. Left holding at a solid 50%. Sports (when young), the Mil, and age sure have taken a toll.

Curious why they're doing the jello type so close after a cortisone injection? Even cortisone shots should not be done, less than 3 months apart.

have either of you been measured and got orthotics? Not the Dr School or other otc stuff. If you're a veteran, the VA covers the expense. One insurance should cover them, as well. if not they run about $2-400. Well worth it.

I haven?t checked into orthotics, although I probably should, as I have bad feet due to previous (untreated) injuries, I have really good insurance, so it would likely cover them, I?ll have to investigate.

That's what he did last time and the gel was good for WAY longer than he even expected. I trust this guy. Last saw him like 6 years ago.

First ortho guy, one that scope my left knee about 10 years ago did NOT do Cortisone first and the gel didn't take well or last 6 months.

I'm kinda screwed already with the arthritis and age.

My knee was bothering me starting when I was 22.
I could still run often till around 2008.
I was not able to run up and down stairs at around 2011.
2013-2017 I could not even walk well.(gained 65lbs ish).

I could start running around 2017 to 2019 and developed some fibrosis during panamic due to no physical thearpy nor rec center diy therapy.

Put it off+ slow damage+ minor injury on top of it and it will easily lead to TKR surgery.
I think people who've met me between 13-17' can recall my condition.

[Great-Kazoo]

while it sucks everyone has health issues. I'd do almost anything (legal) outside gay porn. To have 2 legs . The porn i'd have to think about. Depending how well the new leg worked. BUT I'm on top ;)

I've inquired about a leg transplant. Said since there's face, heart and other organ replacements, even penis enlargements, and removals for the trans crowd. .

Why not a leg transplant? Was told too many nerve endings to reattach, getting replacement leg to mesh with current bone structure. Minor things. BUT the real issue is . IF a transplant was done. I'd have to be on anti-rejection meds for some time. Which for some reason, lowers your immunity to almost zero.

Screw that.

It's bad enough i'll be on some meds till further notice, for the heart.

[OtterbatHellcat]

I think your card just went up in value as well.

[Gman]

I hear you, Jim. I tell myself, at least I can get around well enough without a walker or a cane. I'm pissed that the first surgeon, a neurosurgeon, did such a poor job with my spinal nerves. I wish I had gone to the 2nd surgeon, an orthopedic surgeon, first. I'd have a much more normal life.

I have to appreciate that the nerves connected to the bottoms of my feet work and that I can still drive. I just have to be super careful walking on uneven surfaces. Once one of my feet rolls to one side or the other, it's rolling all the way and I'm going down (hence the broken ankles). Over the past several years I've taken several hard falls that fortunately haven't broken them again, but have banged me up pretty badly, particularly my right knee. The situation sucks, but I still have both of my legs. Much of the nerve feedback isn't there anymore, I have constant irritating nerve sensations (almost like a burning sensation), but I have enough feedback to know that they're there and that they're mine.

[MrPrena]

my issue is severe fibrosis(scar tissues) on my joints after surgery.

My orthopedic guy and few fellowship guy and residents said they have never seen this much in their lifetime.

I do not think orthopedic guy will strongly discourage me to do a removal surgery but maybe I can convince him to do another MUA (manipulation under anesthesia).

So I got a new computer a few years ago and paid out the nose for it. Within the first month a speaker went out. Then about a year ago, the other speaker went out. Then a dead pixel on the screen. Turns out I fortunately got a warranty. I just had everything replaced today and am happy that my stupid expensive computer is finally working like it's supposed to.

On the speakers though, looks like having it in the garage wasn't a great idea. That's all metal shavings stuck to the laptop magnets. I know I didn't have it in the garage before the first speaker went out though. Anyway, watch what you put in the garage, especially if you paid 3x what you should have for it.

Yep, my wife said the same thing, so I made sure to ask the repair tech if they made a respirator for laptops. I've breathed in WAY more than whatever this computer has been around.

The kid running the dyno in the lane I was in pulled the car in front of me onto the dyno without disconnecting the gas cap machine from the vehicle. Jerked the whole machine away from the wall when he ran out of hose and ripped the gas cap off the car from it?s little tether.

There were signs saying they?re hiring. $14 an hour. I guess the people too stupid to get a $15 an hour at a fast food joint must go to work there.

If you do the drive by twice before 60 days ( to allow for the emissions computer to align with the DMV computer) of the expiration of your tag, and pass both times, your renewal notice will state ?passed roadside emissions? and then you are free to renew online. But waiting until you get the renewal, it is too late for a drive by.

Weed killer. This might be helpful or of some use to those willing to try it.

Homemade organic style that is effective on even nightshade, which is hard to get rid of:

1 gal white vinegar
2 cups of table salt
1/4 cup dawn dishwashing soap



The other one is nowhere close to organic and has been touted as the "H-bomb" for weeds and anything you want dead on your property.

Diesel fuel mixed with a herbicide called Remedy Ultra mixed at 3:1 respectively.

[Irving]

Would you use this next to other plants, or say in your grass to get rid of a dandelion?

Or better for weeds on the driveway and in rocks?

[Great-Kazoo]

Would you use this next to other plants, or say in your grass to get rid of a dandelion?

Yes driveway & rocks.

I would not use it anywhere you have trees, grass, garden, etc. The vinegar and soap work, actually any liquid dish soap will do the trick.

. Adding salt, on the rocky areas is good. BUT....anywhere you use the salt, has the potential to sterilize the ground. And or make it difficult to grow anything. We used that mix on rocky areas to kill weeds. Any that was around grass, killed it, as well.

That mix will give you a year or 2, of weed free ground, depending how hearty the weed was.

[Irving]

I figured with the salt, but thought I'd check.

[Gman]

I just have the servicing dealer do it. Costs more, but the service record is easy to account for if I want to sell/trade it. Most importantly it keeps me off the garage floor.

[Hummer]

Changed oil and lubed the John Deere today, a lengthy process made worse by the paper wasps that nest in the loader bucket arms through various drain holes. Nasty buggers, I used most of a can of wasp spray on them. I manage to get stung two or three times a year but they didn't get me today, yet.

Yesterday, I drove I-70 across the state and squeezed through less than 5 minutes before they closed the road through Glenwood Canyon. It was closed on the possibility of flash flooding in the areas denuded of vegetation by the fire last year. It's still closed and may be indefinitely if there's any chance of rain. It looks likely Glenwood Canyon will still be closed when I head east next week. The alternate route is north through Craig, Steamboat Springs, Kremmling and back to I-70 at Silverthorne, a 4.5 hour detour! I think we'll be dealing with Glenwood Canyon road closures for the next several years.

paying for a tool, isn't the objective. It's having the tool available, when YOU, need it. The lift, lathe, welders, mills, saws and other misc tooling will never pay for them self. Wandering ou to the shop anytime, day or night, is where it pys off.

Strange shit,
Yesterday I got stung by a yellow jacket on the side of my right hand about midway between the second joint of my thumb & the wrist.
I barely have a blemish like a gnat bite at the site of the sting, but the muscle just below the outside of my elbow is so swollen it looks like I implanted a Half of a hand ball under the skin and is hot & aching.
I?ve never had a remote reaction to a wasp sting like this, they have always swollen up at the sting site and never as much as this.
Go figure ? Am I developing an allergic reaction to wasp venom or what ever it is called when it comes from a stinger.

paying for a tool, isn't the objective. It's having the tool available, when YOU, need it. The lift, lathe, welders, mills, saws and other misc tooling will never pay for them self. Wandering ou to the shop anytime, day or night, is where it pys off.



besides, 1 time laying on the ground in the winter, because you have to. Will be more then enough payment wise, for the lift.
I would have to invest in building a shop, which would involve excavation, foundation, structure, electrical, etc. Then comes the bill for the lift. I would never get enough use out of it to justify the expense/s.

[OtterbatHellcat]

In comparison to the cost of the building, the cost of the lift would be insignificant.

I want a new shop with a lift.... and it would give me a woody to have it. Not in my future though, I'm going broke.

Yes, wasp venom does cause an allergic reaction and it can get more severe with subsequent stings. I use Benadryl (diphenhydramine) topical cream and take a Benadryl antihistamine tablet asap after the sting.

New flagpole is installed now, kinda happy about that. The solar lights that I was planning to use aren't effective enough to do the job I expect. Got a pole mounted led spot light coming though and it looks like it's gonna do what I want.

The Owl perched up on the dead tree again tonight, he's huge.... he boogied before I could get the binoculars on him this time.

That sounds pretty sweet. I have a place in the front yard where I want to put one in. Fortunately, I have an outlet not too far from the location to use for lighting. The one thing holding me back right now is that the location isn't far from the master bedroom. Not sure how much sound the flag will make popping in the wind at night. I guess if it's that bad, I probably should take it down anyway.

Do a solar powered light. We have something similar to this.

Having an outlet out there in the driveway area would be nice, but I can't justify the expense to get it done.

This is the light that we chose...

I'm not a fan of the UFO over the flag look.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Got that flag light today, and it does come with ground mounting spikes and it might be bright enough to go that route. Need Mr. Sun to charge the panel up enough to find out. I'll use the brackets for the pole if it's a more desirable effect.

I'm a sucker for the Stooges and the Marx Bro's. There is a beauty in the humor for the era in which they were made, and it will always be funny. It's like badass music....timeless.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Well, in 16 days....I'll have the first hand/wrist rebuild.

I hope this shit works. Then the other hand and then off to Flag to find out if I need back surgery to fix my jacked up feet. This getting old thing blows ass.

Had my first class with the local Citizens Police Academy last wednesday. The Chief here is a pretty cool guy and I look forward to the rest of the classes...maybe I can get an inside edge to work for the town in some kind of support role, that would be cool. Met a lot of cool folks attending the Academy.

I'm kinda pissed off though, my procedure is three days prior to the shooting simulator day. Fvck. Offhand training should still make it fun.

I did attend the Academy in Brighton some 15 or so years ago, and I had a good time there as well. I really like this little community and it feels good to participate with the local law enforcement this way. Like I said, it also might open some doors for me as well.

[OtterbatHellcat]

If you've never experienced a police shooting/training class, I would recommend taking advantage of that if you have the opportunity to do so.

Where's Mazin?

I hope he's doing alright.

It's not really a simulator. You're in a scenario where it's shoot, or don't shoot, in real time. Unless they changed it, due to someone complaining.

If you have the same response team guys we had. You'll really like what they have to say.

Oh man, you haven't heard?
