Especially For Ali

This is a repost especially for ALI of the Cool Drink Of Water fame. She allowed she had a hankerin' to see what Little Sister aka "DON'TGOTDAMIT" looked like and I told her would repost this just for her. So, heah ya go Ali. See ya in a couple of months.

Still Pimping My Truck

I took the White Ram in to a trailer place this afternoon and got the electric trailer brake controls installed. I have an appointment with the Thursday to check the wheel bearings on the Jayco...gotta drag in to them and leave it. I figure the bearings are okay but I am going on a trip that will put about 5000 miles on the Jayco and damn if I wanna be going down the road and see a wheel come rolling past me...better to be safe than sorry.

DAMN

And it ain't gonna get better for a long time! The soonest will be when we get rid of the socialists in congress and the White House. Business that is still functioning in this economy cannot afford to hire with the cap and trade bill and the various health bills hanging over their heads which they KNOW will cost them money. Moreover, the Bush tax cuts are do to expire and Obama is still talking about spreading the wealth. All I can say is that I hope you unemployed folks that voted for the commies are having fun in the unemployment line...and I give you a guarantee that if ya got an Obama sticker on your bumper and there is a lay off at your place of employment ya might just be one of the first on the list...and should be.

But...but....

But, but but but but but....the emperor promised us transparency and that we would be able to see what congress was voting on....

CONCUR

I concur with Charles Krauthammer...without tort reform nothing that government can do is gonna fix the health care system. But in any event, here's the problem with the health care bills:


They didn't want it good, they wanted it Wednesday.

DAMN Govmit!

Y'all might want to take a look at this. Congress knows that passing this shit will cost them their jobs so I expect that they will try to include it on another bill...then each that votes for it can claim they didn't know...they have already told us they vote without reading the bills. Time to clean house...and senate and get some new crooks. Tell ya one thing...I ain't gonna register a damn one...I'll hide 'em first.

The new Florida Fishing License requirement does not effect me...I got one of those life time old farts papers to hunt and fish. Problem in Florida any more is that you do have to HUNT for fish and if you are one that fishes for the frying pan the salt water regulations make it kinda tough. The slot limits and creel limits on snook and red fish do make it tough to catch dinner. But although I do like my fish I salt water fish more for the fun of catching than I do for the pleasure of eating the fish. I fish for that adrenalin rush when a monster snook strips my reel of 100 yards of line before I can blink my eye and when I work a big red fish up close to me time after time on six pound line only to have it take off again when it sees me. And, there are still ample supplies of sea trout and other eatable species if one just wants to take home a mess of fish.

I was not one in favor of a fishing permit for on shore fishing. I figure such is more to gouge the public for more money than it is to protect the fishery. But if it does in fact protect the fisheries maybe it will be worth it.

I have not done the math on it (hey! I am a History/poly sci major...I can't count) but somehow I keep getting this feeling that congress is just blowing money again.
How much money have these sumbitches spent on this damn stimulus plan thus far? Seems to me that it have been better to have just divided this money up and sent each registered voter....who voted... their share. Yeah...just the voters. Those who pay taxes but don't vote might then be encouraged to get off their butts next time. And of course a lot of the democrats would really make out on this plan...yeah...I am talking about those who voted several times. And you would probably see some real nice grave yards in the democrat areas, huh? Lots a flowers and new grave markers.

Ya know the first thing that jumped out at me when I read this about the states having to cut back on Medicaid? The price of those compression stockings.
DAMN! I get pissed when I gotta give a couple of bucks for some tube socks. Somehow I get this idea that someone is getting rich off Medicaid...especially those who sell those stockings. Now I always believed that a fair price was whatever the market would bear and no item was worth a damn nickle more than what someone would pay for it. But when the government is paying there are many who figure what the hell....nobody is looking so hi-jack while they can. Hmmmm...maybe I should start importing compression stockings from China and get me a Medicaid contract....naaaa I still gotta look myself in the mirror once in a while...other wise I would still be selling used cars.

Quiet as usual on sweetthing's half acre. The weather quacks sent me the usual summer forecast...hot with a chance of rain. I need to get out and gather peas and okra this morning and if we don't get some rain sometime today I gotta turn the water on the sweet potato bed. Grass needs cutting again...damn! Seems like I just mowed it...hell I did...Monday. Gotta get me a grass eating varmit of some kind...thinking about a mule. Goats would just eat my flowers. The jumpstart is hot and strong and sweetthing is sweet and strong. She gotta be to put up with me I reckon. Y'all come, heah?

Heh

Well, back from da Dodge House. They found a short in the 4X4 electric motor in the transfer case and have to order a new one for me. Ain't modern technology great? When it works...

Bloggin From Da Dodge House

In't this wi-fi stuff great? Heh...right now it is slower than my fingers....and that is damn slow.No idea how long this is gonna take this morning to get the White Ram fixed...or even if it will be done today. Just found out there is a recall on it so I reckon I'll get it done while I am here.

Well, it took a while but the Feds finally got ex congressman William Jefferson convicted. Now the question is how much time will he serve? The sentencing is not until the last of October and ole Bill Jeff is out on bail...with a lot of friends in Africa. Naaa...he ain't gonna run...he also has friends in congress and the White House. I am surprised that he ain't already been pardoned and figure that if was still in congress Nancy would have protected him. By the way people, although you can't find it in the Times article, Jefferson is a democrat. Imagine that! A democrat caught taking bribes....what is this country coming to, huh?

The more I read about Obama and his health care scam the more pissed I get. Looks like he is going to get in bed with the drug companies. I smell a rat and have an idea that if we don't stop this commie soon there ain't gonna be no stopping him outside of a civil war.

The emperor allows that the country's policy on detaining immigrants has gotta be changed. Hmmmm.I just reread the yahoo piece. Maybe the first change in the policy is to just call them immigrants, huh? HEY YAHOO! These are criminals we are talking about....ILLEGAL ALIENS !!!! Immigrants come into this country legally and have ths thing know as a green card....illegal aliens break the laws of the USA just by being here. And when you, YAHOO, refuse to refer to them as illegal aliens and use the word immigrant to describe them you are inferring that these people have a right to be here. I gotta an idea on how to treat these YAHOO immigrants...send the food bill to YAHOO. I for one am tired of paying it with my tax dollars.

I gotta take the White Ram back to the Dodge house this morning at 0800...it has a multitude of "ignert lites" one of which is a "service 4 wheel drive" light. Well, the fucking light keeps coming on and off. I had it in a couple of weeks ao for the same problem...they changed a black box and it was fine until the next day...heh. Modern technology is great huh? As long as it works.

This ain't one of my better days...woke up like I had been run over by a John Deere combine and thrashed. Checked my blood glucose and it was at a gotdam 47..."DANGER WILL ROGERS!" But a bowl of quick grits and some jumpstart fixed that...now I am in that lackadaisical stage...don't know if it is a lack of physical energy or mental energy...heh. I have not tried exercising either function enough yet to find out. I gotta get me some more jumpstart and then get outta here...y'all come back, heah?

Rose of Sharon

I finally have got more than one Rose Of Sharon bloom at a time now...lots of buds also. I have high hops for this stuff next year.

Probably

heh...sweetthing wants to know if they give Bill a blow job on the way home....I told her probably...after being in that N. Korea slammer they probably would do anything Bill asked and Bill is known for asking.

Got's me Some Peas

Sweetthing says "Whut ya want fer dinner?" And I says some black eyed peas and okra and she says "ya gotta pick da peas cause the bugs in 'em make me itch." And I says like I always do to sweetthing...yes dear..

We put in two beds of peas this year...about a month a part. The first did GOOD! But the second one is doing even better. I got these from a 4'X8" raised bed that I filled with a foot of cow manure compost and top soiland mixed in maybe six cubic feet of peat moss. The bed is yielding this bucket full about every four days provided I keep the pesticide on it about every two weeks. Aphids are bad this year as well as another flying leaf eating varmit.




Looks like enough for dinner today and leftovers for a couple of more meals. Gotta give ya a warming...blackeyed peas are high in calorie/carbs...a cup of em is about 360 calories but a cup of shelled peas is a lot of damn peas! I figure a half cup for a meal along with a dozen pods of okra. Fills me up and ain't bad on a rabbit food diet.

As I said yesterday, Sotomayor's confirmation is a done deal. She may be an activist but she is not stupid...the republicans who do have the balls to ask the tough questions are getting spin and will never be able to pin her to the wall, I do hope that the voters remember the RINOs who vote for her come election time.

No doubt some of the left wing will be moaning about this death of a Taliban leader's wife. Fuck 'em. Civilian casualties are not only part of war but at times the way to bring a war to a hasty closure...remember Japan and the nukes? Some how some way over the past sixty years the American public has gotten the idea that no one should be killed in a war....especially civilians. Well, people, there ain't no such fuckin' thing as a nice clean war except maybe on a video game. In war people die...the bad guys and the good guys and the idea is to kill all the bad guys and the bad guy's families and friends that ya can kill before the sumbitches can kill MY family and friends. Yeah, it is ugly...and whoever said that it was not ugly lies like Obama's mother under the back porch! Do I celebrate her death? No...not unless it brings this fight one step closer to a finish.

You know? The rest of the world says we are a dying...capitalism is dead...a failed economic system...but when it looks like there is even a hint of economic recovery the sumbitches jump in to get a piece of it! Tell ya something else...this economy was doing pretty good until the greedy bastards started pricing energy out of reach. Yeah, there was a lot of other factors that caused the economic bust and most of them were the fault of democrat congresses over the past couple of decades...and GOP presidents who were really dim-a-crits in drag. But with an ample energy supply with a static cost the economy of the USA will once again boom regardless of what Obama and hos commie friends do. Hell, our MBAs and CPAs are the smartest on earth...they can hide the money where Obama can't find it and confiscate it. But without a dependable energy supply not much is gonna happen...Obama can blow smoke up your ass and tell you things will get better but he lies...if he really wanted it better he would open up the whole country for drilling for oil and natural gas and tell the enviro nuts to go fuck a three peckered toad from or a horny owl.

It is raining heah on sweetthing's half acre this morning. Need the rain plus it gives me an excuse to just be my normal lazy self. I gotta good book....trashy light fiction...the kind I read and five minutes after I finish it I can't tell ya the plot. But there is lotsa violence and bedroom acrobatics..hell..I think some kitchen floor acrobatics. Anyway, I gotta second mug of jumpstart and I'm trying to talk sweetthing into some grits and cackleberries for breakfast...so far no luck...she keeps saying sumthin about a piece of dry rye toast. Y'all come, heah?

Sweetthing Ruined My Redneck Image

Got the stitches outta my knee this morning and on the way home sweetthing says "ya gotta get a haircut!" And I say but I been cultivating what hair I got left and this beard just to enhance my redneck image!" And she says "if you don't get than beard trimmed and your hair cut yore redneck image gonna be sleeping by itself!" And I argue just like I always do with sweetthing...I say "okay dear."

Heh

heh. Ya can put a redneck in a new shirt but he still looks like a redneck, huh? Well, Linda...ya asked for it and ya got it! Little Sister is sitting there trying to figure just WTF I am doing...

So call me a cold hearted sumbitch but people, playing with fire can get ya burnt! The three that the Iranians arrested for illegal entry were playing with fire. Sure, they might have been innocent young people on a hike...but they damn sure picked a dangerous place to take a hike. I have an idea that they are part of the American left wing who just couldn't believe that the Iranians were bad guys. Don't get me wrong...I KNOW that the Iranians are bad guys and I hope that diplomatic efforts will get these misguided Americans freed. But I also hope they learned something from their experience...namely stay out of places where ya ain't welcome.

Which brings up another question? Why does the US of A not do the same thing as Iran with those entering the USA illegally? GOOD GAWD GIRTY WHUT A GASH! Instead of arresting them we give them chicken pluckin' jobs and enroll them in our social programs and the dim-a-crits are trying to convince the rest of us that these law breaker should be given citizenship and the vote. HEY! Maybe Iran has the right idea!
.....................................................................................

Looks to me like Sotomayor's confirmation is a done deal. There are not enough republicans left to stop it and of what there are some are rolling over for the emperor like the trained (or bought) dawgs they are. The senate debate will be a farce unless some senator has the balls to ask the hard questions in such a way it will expose her for what she is...a activist commie racist.
.....................................................................................

Now THIS IS AN IDEA! I hope it sells in the projects. Maybe in the future when the greenhouse gas tax hits us all we will get credit for not having a kid...I can see the government adds now..."wanna eat more beans and fart more? DON'T HAVE THAT KID!"

Which brings up another question..when the Obama kool ade drinkers get their flatulence tax passed how is it gonna work? Will we all have to wear a fart meter? Will the tax be based on volume? Noise? Odor? Will a loud but odorless fart be taxed less than one of those oozy smelly ones that make the dawg cover her nose? Whut about my dawg? Will they tax her farts also? Damn...I might have to take out a mortgage on the south forty if they do.

.....................................................................................

OH MY GOODNESS! Can ya believe it? Government motors is gonna have to lay off some more people! Yeah 7500 more people. Looks like the government and UAW ain't saving the jobs after all, huh? And that is what happens when unions and the government run a business...and to think some people want the government to run YOUR health care!

When will the public wake up and see whut the fuck is going on? We are getting nothing but spin from most of the media and all of government telling us that because the rate of fall has slowed thing are better! So the public grasps at this straw and feel better about going fucking broke? Excuse me while I go puke.
.....................................................................................

Okay...I'm back. Thank you...whut? Got something in my beard...excuse me again...must be some puke. I'll be back.

There...did I get it all. Sorry I'm a slob but sometimes when I throw up it splatters...

Kinda quiet on the home front this morning. Sweetthing still has a migraine headache but says her dope is making it some better. I told her, "I didn't do nothing to make it better." and She say,"Not you you dope, the pills." heh. Then she says, "Don't make me laugh it hurts." So I Just hugged her and tell her I love her anyway and hope she feels better soon...

I gotta go to the bone cutter this morning and hope to get the stitches outta my knee. One cut has a tiny bit of white puss stuff in it...and that is unusual for me. Hell, I ordinarily heal fast without infections. Good thing...I wear shorts nine months out of the year and my legs stay scratched up from working outside because I am a clumsy old fart. I don't think this infection is anything serious and nothing that a balm of Corona won't take care of...

There is some thunder rumbling in the distance...ain't looked outside to see where it is coming from but suspect there is a storm in the gulf headed our way. I reckon I had better go cut the okra before it gets here. Or maybe just sit here and scan some blogs and finish this second mug of jumpstart before I get ready to go see da sawbones. Y'all come, heah? I'll treat ya to a sweat bath on sweetthing's half acre this afternoon while ya help me finish cutting the weeds.

Best Read of The Day

My friend Terry out on the desert sent me this link and I thank him for it. It is the best read of the say and quite possibly will be the best of the month! The writer doesn't throw low blows to the emperor...he swings a KNOCK OUT PUNCH! OUTSTANDING WORK! Do yourself a favor and read the whole piece.

I think I gotta better idea than the emperor do on what to do about the ragheads we got in the Gitmo slammer. Ain't no way I would bring 'em into the homeland...I would load 'em up on a big jet plane and hire a skyjumper pilot....tell that pilot to aim that big airplane at a tall mountain and tell him to wave good by to the ragheads and tell 'em it is Allah and GUYK's will as he jumps out the hatch. Fuck 'em.

People, these people in the Gitmo slammer are POWs...assholes caught shooting at American troops during a time of war and not even wearing a uniform when they were doing it. It takes a vivid stretch of the imagination to think the ragheads are protected under the Geneva convention rules...hell they should have been just shot after the interrogation. Why should we play by any fucking rules when the people who are trying to destroy us refuse to do so?

The Washing Post allows that the emperor is walking a tightrope and "Amid signs that the economy is stabilizing, President Obama and his aides are moving to take credit for the gains" What the Post should have written is that Obama continues to blow smoke up our butts as the economy continues to weaken and unemployment numbers continue to rise. Obama could give a shit about what happens as long as he can turn the nation into a socialist shit hole with him sitting at the top of it. If he really wanted to see more people at work he could get 'er done very easily...just fucking resign! The people who create the jobs ain't gonna do so when they know that when they start to produce again their profits are going to be confiscated by Obama and given to the non-producers. Anyone who ventures much capital in a new business start-up under Obama needs their head examined...and if they are that gullible I have some shares is this device that tracks and directs hurricanes to where ya want 'em to hit that I will sell...they ain't cheap but I will sell....

It ain't so good around sweetthing's half acre this morning. Sweetthing has one of those migraine headaches that attack her on occasion..the kind that make her puking sick. And there ain't a damn thing I can do except just rub her neck and tell her how much I love her. She says she has taken the migraine headache dope the quack gave her last time and maybe she will get over it. I'll just walk on tippy toes until she does...

We had an enjoyable day yesterday. We drove up to see some friends who live in the country out of Bell Florida...and they are always a lot of fun to be around. And did I get LUCKY? My friend has been on a pretty strict diet because of health problems and had a closet full of shirts that had outgrown him. All new that his lovely bride had bought for him and he had never worn. And he put them in my pickup! Wow, twenty or more new shirts that fit...ya know? If my Mother was still alive she would make me give all but eight away.She would allow that ain't nobody needs more than eight shirts...one a day and one to wear when the rest are in that ringer washing machine. Only got one problem though...all of these shirts are those classy shirts and I ain't sure what people will think when they see this redneck wearing them with my bib overalls. And to add to that luck my friend has a 100 round box of .45acp what he didn't have a pistol for...sold 'em to me for cost. WOW...first .45acp I have been able to buy in a couple of months.

It was the first time I had the White Ram on the road for any distance...it performed well...used a quarter tank of fuel for the 200 mile trip...guessing about 10 gallons..dunno yet but I will fill 'er up after while and get an idea of the gas mileage. Anything close to 18 will just tickle the fool out of me...well, not really..it would take a lot of tickling to do that.

There is some thunder rumbling off to the west and probably a storm headed our way. I need to get out and do some farming before it rains. Y'all, heah?

Sunday Morning Coming Down

So the emperor says it is gonna take many more months for the economy to recover. Yeah, well I think he is blowing smoke as usual. Look, this sumbitch is trying to get bills passed that will kill the small business people and as well as take a bigger hunk out of the income of the extremely rich...the ones who have the money to spend right now. And he says it will take many more months for recovery? How about at least another year and a half...I betcha when we kick the left wing sumbitches out of congress the economy will pick up and when we kick the commie out of the White House the DOW will jump 500 points! Might even sell some of my lead and invest in energy when that happens.

I hope I am wrong but I figure there will be so much more of THIS after the American and allied troops pull out of Iraq that it will become so common that the media will not even cover it. Especially the left wing media who by covering will be admitting that we who said it was gonna happen were right. Personally I don't really give a shit any more...if the Iraqi people want to be free from terror then they will have to stand together and fight the terrorists and forget about who is a Sunni and who is a Shiite....and maybe hang the fucking mullahs which would be a giant step towards peace in the area. All I want now is for my brothers and sisters
in arms to come home safe....and get ready for the big one.

Is the TIGER BACK? He has been having a rough year....but then maybe he just needed to relax a bit. Ya know? When you are on top there ain't but one other way to go and that be down. In any event in my mind he is about the best if not the best that has ever played the game. I admire the man's self discipline...on and off the golf course. He has what so many black (and white) athletes lack....CLASS!

The NFL season is just around da corner, huh? And the Tampa Bay Bucs may have a tough time even getting around a corner...but da Cadillac says he is ready once again. You gotta admit that Carnell Williams has some heart. The kid gets hurt...does the rehab and comes back just to get clobbered again. DAMN! But when he is healthy he ca damn sure run, huh? Now if the Bucs can get him some help...ya know like an offensive line that knows how to do some run blocking? And a quarterback who can complete a pass or two once in a while? And a receiver who could outrun his granny would help...if he could catch the damn ball. Looks to me like it is gonna be a long season for Buc's fans and one of those years when we sigh in relief when the season is over...end the misery until next year.

Sweetthing and I are gonna take a little road trip after while up to see some good friends who live out of Bell Florida. It will be the first time I have had the White Ram on the highway where I can drive at highway speeds for any distance to speak of. I'll get a chance to check the gasoline efficiency of that Hemi...it is supposed to be efficient at highway speeds...but then 400 or so horses takes a lot of oats. Heh.
But here's the deal folks...if ya gotta worry much about how much gas a truck burns and the cost of operating one ya best buy ya an Obamamobile that runs on Obama bullshit. There be plenty of that kinda fuel.

Gotta hit the shower and clean up my face and put on some glad rags. See ya later. Y'all come, heah?

Yawnnnnnn

Me and Little Sister (aka "DON'TGOTDAMIT!") was sacked out on the couch and think I was cutting some zzzzz when a clap of thunder stood me up and Sister went to barkin' like there wuz a stranger in the house. DAMN! I looked out the window and the sky looked like it had been in a bar room brawl...purple and black with just a hint that it was once baby blue. Looked on across my backdoor neighbors place and there was a tall pine tree smokin' a bit...reckon lightning paid it a visit.

So, I got up and kept waiting for some more skyworks...I like to watch that lightning flash across a bruised sky but so far just a rumble that sounds kinda like my belly after a chili and hotdawg lunch...and not enough rain to get the top layer of sand dust wet. DAMN I wuz sleeping good too...

We Did Good!

We got 25 pints jarred up from that batch of peaches we got yesterday...and I reckon I did good...every jar sealed perfect!

I did these a bit different this time...I didn't use as much Splenda and cooked the peaches down to where they were damn near jelling. Then I added some more peaches and cooked until they were falling apart and then jarred them. They are good...kinda like a jar of preach preserves but not. Go good with a slice of light bread and just a sprinkle of cinnamon on a day when I gotsa a sweettooth.

Today be August first...do you know where the word came from? Latin. Yeah that's right...got sumthin to do with "marked by majestic dignity or grandeur" according to this old beat up Websters keep handy to translate redneck think into somewhat readable English. "WTF! GUYK," you say, "Why do you write such shit first thing on a Saturday morning?" Because I got one of those 'blond mornings' and can't think of nothing else so I figured I might as well give ya some of that edumacation whut the emperor says ya need.

Did ya ever have one of them mornings when ya think ya would have been better off if ya just stayed in bed? Ya know ya wake up barely...stumble into the pisser and pull out a hair and pee on your foot...those kinda mornings. Sweetthing hugged me first thing and then handed me the GOTDAM NEBULIZER! Two sucks on the sumbitch and I gagged and had to put it down. Then she brings me a mug of jumpstart...hot and strong but I ain't thinking and took a big drink to wash the taste of that fuckin nebulizer horse piss outta my mouth...then I had to go look in the mirror to see if I still had a tongue DAMN! That jumpstart was scalding hot....and now I gotta coffee stain on the carpet. Well, wtf...needed a new carpet anyway...heh.

Well, then I sit down heah...my hidey place and comfort zone...and click on e-mail. Some asshole bypassed my spam blocker and the mail room is full. Oughta be a law. Took me a while...just went down to people I recognized and read and then gotta a copy of a few threats...especially the one from the sumbitch whut keep saying he gonna fuck "DON'TGOTDAMMIT"...sick bastard...then deleted the whole gotdam mess. So, if I don't answer something ya sent me I am sorry....blame the sumbitch who fucked with my spam blocker. Had to pull up security and reinstall...damn.

Anyway, ya might guess I ain't in the best of moods this morning. And I gotta fire up the tractor and cut about a half acre of grass that is now about knee high...and no doubt hiding a copperhead...and I don't mean a copperhead coin. Neighbor on the hill above me called last night and say he killed one in his yard yesterday...all this rain is running the sumbitches to high ground...may just carry my shotgun with me on the tractor. Done it before...that's why that one neighbor keeps telling everyone I am an ex-centic...heh. But her little boy slips off and comes to talk to me when I am in the yard...he is a curious little fuck but good kid. Say he gonna grow up to be just like me and get a beard and gun..that boy is headed for trouble....huh?

Okay..I done enough for ya to read. My jumpstart has cooled off and maybe even better tasting now I ain't got no hair left on my tongue. Y'all come , heah?
