I downloaded the report & will poke thru it at my leisure. Just wanted to grab a copy before it gets memory holed like so many other documents. You can lead a horse to water, but the majority are content being told they aren't thirsty. Lincoln said the only way this nation could fall was by its' own hand. Sure looks like he was correct.

Made me hungry, and I just ate.

Brake lights come on AFTER plowing into the other car, at an intersection, with red lights......d'oh!

It's a sad thing to view, that's for sure. joey was never a sharp ball, and seeing his cognitive testing in real time is embarrassing. Ringo is the same age as joey, yet he plays for hours on end & can remember the words to every song, and he's still witty. Yessir, there comes a time when you should step back from the heavy lifting, because age comes to us all.

Drooling joey doesn't have an oar in the water. He'll sign anything his nurses put in front of him, so yeah, all bets are off when it comes to portable wealth.

The Lewis family, Dad, Son, & Son-in-Law took first, second & third. They're hard core, tungsten paste, custom graphite filled wheels, & a test track in their garage. I entered for the food & fun, but also ran on our track @ LKCS, and put my car on the conveyor for a few hours. Here are their cars, sorry I didn't snap a pic of the winners, I was holding onto a Modelo and a shredded beef.

The owners of the company I work for are members of the local Rotary Club. They put on a fund raiser pinewood derby event, and it sounded like a wonderful waste of time. I bought a ticket & kit car a couple of days before the event, so I had to throw a car together & test in one day. Toe Pincher is the result, and it taught me two things, aerodynamics come into play, even within 44', and money wins races. My car was first out of the gate every time, but got creamed on the straight away. Fun was had by all, and the Silver Dome in DePue, Illinois was packed tight. At least they let you step outside with a beer, nobody gets shook up in small towns.

Cuff one off for communism Spank bank for socialism Choke the chicken for gaia Rob, you're a dirty thread stealer. Keep up the fine work.

Sorry, been working long hours this week. Somebody has to pay into this crippled system. It boggles me that the industrialized powers took so long to come to this decision. Why pay a third party a pseudo-tax to conduct business between clients? The USofA has nothing to do with transactions, but washington gets a cut of every transfer, because they're in dollars. Why does the world deal in dollars? Hey, after the Russian/Ukraine debacle, why bother with greenbacks? These people are run by a cabal just as corrupt as anyone elses', so why cut them in? Bingo, the world realizes we don't matter.

Been talking about this for many years. You can't print wealth, or make it up digitally. That takes agriculture, manufacturing, and mining. All of these things have been uprooted, regulated out, and diminished in the US of A. The last thing remaining was the good faith & trust in the government, but the world has voted on that for real, not by mail or dominion. The US produces nothing the world needs, and the world has responded by dumping the dollar. Hang on to your britches, because it's going to get real rough, real fast. Enjoy your banana bread & circus show in New York, because they won't tell you what's really going on, you might not like it. $30 trillion in debt on paper, over $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities, and a pile of dumb-asses that still believe they can coin money & sell treasury bonds to cover their game of monopoly.

Who needs conspiracy theories? Turn the news on for 30 seconds & you can see all the disasters coming in to play in real time. White house that claims drag queens are the soul of the nation. China buying up third world nations by sinking them into unpayable debt. The two most industrialized & populous nations ditching the dollar & doing deals with their own currency. Summit of "democracy" openly laughed at, because nothing but dictators attended. End of Western civilization as we once knew it. The rotary oscillator has only just begun to sling shit. Keep your powder dry, and sharpen your knives, it's going to be bare survival time shortly.

Hate your butt nades Opto

Do Leopards change spots? Skunks suddenly smell sweet? Water stop being wet? Based on the amount of FU's dished out by Sourtap, I'll wait & see.

Nice pic of the Binder pickup.

had to delete this after posting, before hitting this.

Simple courtesy is completely gone in anyone under 25. They all want to jump in and lecture, but have no ethics or morals to lecture from. You can't learn how to be civilized from tik-tok or facebook, that takes actual parents. https://www.businessinsider.com/chick-fil-a-pennsylvania-bans-unaccompanied-minors-unacceptable-behavior-2023-2?op=1 and so goes the end of western courtesy. Nice while it existed.

Rewriting deceased author's works is blatant thought control, & a lame attempt at changing history. Not going to have a happy outcome, but none of this will. Reality will win, because it won't be denied. When man becomes so arrogant to believe he can be God, and make rules that defy nature, the final result is collapse. Happens throughout history, the elite get slapped upside the head, along with a great proportion of the population. Get in dm3 Rob, & I'll hand you another arsekicking

Won't let me pick both

The Beast during a summer burn. Saturday night I had a regular petting zoo. Deer walking by, raccoons chirping, possums strolling past, & coyotes howling on top of the old mine.

120 gallon LP sphere I welded a stack on & cut the opening. Filled over half way with ash, figure 70 gallons-14 5 gallon buckets, 20lbs per bucket, 280lbs of wood ash spread over 3 acres. Yep, makes a warm one when it's roaring.

Cleaned out my fire pit 2day, lost track of how many buckets of ash I heaved on the yard. Nice new fire & cold Blue Moon to break it back in.

Meanwhile, in Illinois
