Hey it's Friday !!

Well I'm recovering from my slip and fall quite nicely.(feeling very lucky)
A buddy did the samething and fractured the ball in his shoulder,,,six weeks off,,gotta take it easy. 

Easier said than done.

We got between 8 and 10" of snow.
Okay, Let's call it 9". What do ya do with 9" of snow ? (Hope it melts real soon)
Rake some of it out of the way,,but where to ? Somewhere else in the way ?

Thankfully...Mother Nature blessed us with a nice warm day,,,it was 4 degrees this morning, but got up over 45 degrees this afternoon,,,and the sun shined brilliantly.

The Princess and I raked some from behind the house,,,where the sun never shines (ha)
from around the autos and off her car.Threw snowballs at one another
Cleared from the porch, to the cars...and we was wore out. Thanks Mo =)

The TRUEST TRUE Definitions of tools....


DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the 

workbench with the speed of light . 

Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time

it takes you to say, 'Oh shoot !'

SKILL SAW: A portable cutting tool used to make studs too short.

PLIERS: Used to round off bolt heads. Sometimes used in the creation of blood-blisters.

BELT SANDER: An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs

into major refinishing jobs.

HACKSAW: One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... 

It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt 

to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

VISE-GRIPS: Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. 

If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

OXYACETYLENE TORCH: Used almost entirely for lighting various 

flammable objects in your shop on fire.

Also handy for igniting the grease inside the wheel hub out of which you want to remove a bearing race.

TABLE SAW: A large stationary power tool commonly used to 

launch wood projectiles for testing wall integrity.

HYDRAULIC FLOOR JACK: Used for lowering an automobile to the ground after you have installed your new brake shoes , trapping the jack handle firmly under the bumper.

BAND SAW: A large stationary power saw primarily used by most shops to cut good aluminum sheet into smaller pieces that more easily fit into the trash can after you cut on the inside of the line instead of the outside edge.

TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST: A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of 

everything you forgot to disconnect.

PHILLIPS SCREWDRIVER: Normally used to stab the vacuum seals under lids or for opening old-style paper-and-tin oil cans and splashing oil on your shirt; but can also be used, as the name implies, to strip out Phillips screw heads..

STRAIGHT SCREWDRIVER: A tool for opening paint cans. Sometimes used to convert common slotted screws into non-removable screws and butchering your palms.

PRY BAR: A tool used to crumple the metal surrounding that clip or bracket you

needed to remove in order to replace a 50 cent part.

HOSE CUTTER: A tool used to make hoses too short.

HAMMER: Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.

UTILITY KNIFE: Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.

SON-OF-A-BITCH TOOL: (A personal favorite!!) Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling 'Son of a BITCH!' at the top of your lungs. 

It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.

Hope you found this informative.

I'm not going political on you, I don't know if it's even a true story or who wrote it.

But somebody cared enough to put it in a email, so I'll share.

SOMETHING WE ALL NEED TO KNOW

     We need to read this very carefully and think about what is being said here !!!

          . . I remember asking dad about Castro when I was about 9 years old.

I asked , "Is Castro a good guy or bad?"

Dad said he couldn't tell!! This was about 1955.

 

We were living in Louisiana at the time. Dad was in the army there. 

Cuba was fairly close and in the news a lot.  The Cubans were asking the same question!

Ike was president.

            This past July, we had the pleasure of sharing a summer barbecue with a refugee from Cuba . 

Our dinner conversation was starkly different than most.

 

This refugee came to the  United States as a young boy in the early 1960s.  

His family was more fortunate than most as they were able
            to bring a suitcase and $100 when they fled Castro's newly formed revolutionary paradise.

            Our dinner consisted of all-American fare: hamburgers, potato salad, 

watermelon and fresh ears of sweet corn.  

This is a menu shared with family and friends nationwide, while celebrating the 

birth of our beloved America on the Fourth of July.

            We began with a simple discussion about our country and the direction it has taken

since Barack Obama came to power.

  

We shared the usual complaints about the sour economy and liberal social engineering 

emanating from the rulers in Washington .

            But then he said it.  The sentence came naturally.  I assume it was unplanned. 

But it carried the weight of a freight train.  

 

"You know when Castro took power, none of us knew he was a Communist."
            We sat stunned.  He continued,

"Yes, we all thought he was a patriot, a  nationalist.  Before the revolution he didn't sound like a radical."

            The comparison at this point was easy, and I interjected, "You mean  just like Barack Obama?" 

He responded, "Yes, just like Barack Obama."

            He continued, "We were all shocked as the government just continued to grab more power.  First they said the revolution is over, so please turn in your guns.  We all complied."

            "I remember my uncle saying after it started, 'Castro will only nationalize some of the big industries, he will never come and take our family hardware store.

 

'But that is exactly what happened, 

Castro started with the sugar mills and the large industries, 

but they eventually came and knocked on the door of our family hardware store.
            My family had run this store for generations.

 

They said we now own the hardware store, you work for us.  

And that nice, large four-bedroom home you own, it is now our property also, and you can move yourself and five children into two rooms of the house because others are moving in with you."

            The lesson learned from this discussion is a lesson most Americans refuse to hear. 

 

Political leaders can lie about their agenda and once in office they can take totally unexpected turns.
            If you had asked us three years ago if we thought General Motors would be nationalized, 

we would have never believed it.

  

We could never  contemplate a country where the rule of law, the most fundamental  building block of a justice society would be evaporating just like it did in Castro's Cuba in the early 1960s.

            But the news of injustice keeps increasing.  Black Panthers are not
            charged with wrongdoing by the U.S. Department of Justice because their crimes are against whites. 

The bondholders of GM are stripped of their assets without due process by the government.  

Governmental leaders are bribed in full daylight only to have all 

investigations of the crimes stifled by the Attorney General.

 

The  U.S. borders are overrun with crime and illegal activity and the leaders in D.C. act as if it is important to protect the lawbreakers while the innocent are killed and overrun.

            When local communities attempt to enforce the law,

they are ridiculed and threatened as racists and bigots.  

They are sued by the very administration entrusted with enforcing the law.
            Without the rule of law the U.S. Constitution is a sham.

  

Without the rule of law our beloved America is swiftly becoming a country where
            only the well connected and politically powerful will be safe. 

As  Michelle Malkin has so eloquently explained in her recent book, 

a culture of corruption has replaced honest government.
            The only way this problem will be fixed is by massive citizen action.

            All honest citizens that want to be treated equally must come together and demand that the favoritism, the bribes, the uneven enforcement of  law end now.  And yes, it can happen here.
         And may God save the United States of America !
             

IN GOD WE TRUST!

Did you know a barnacle's penis is 30 times its body length ?? that's right 30 TIMES !!

Relatively few barnacles reproduce sexually, but those that do have a hard time. After all, they can't move - so their penises, up to 30 times their body length, wave around in currents until encountering a female.
"Just lettin it ALL hang out"

The surprises of animal sex.
