Ha on VB living there....

So what was the diagnosis on the Tomato? hopefully its a cheap fix if there is anything cheap these days...

Biden blaming the grocery stores for ripping us off... he is more than clueless....

these are the times that try men's souls Guru's..... but...but... it could be worse....

Very well stated Thomas.... your patriotic fervor is like a breath of fresh air.... it's not our fault about the past right? Many men died so the slaves could be free... and the demoncrates owned most the slaves.... no really they did...

high of 58 today... I see several Mocycles out and about... not me dude.... gotta be better than dis.... show some love today Guru's......

They do heal up Tommy... I have had several of those... takes a couple of weeks at least... I have learned to catch them early now so they can freeze them or cut them off easily... I do not expose my arms to sunlight in the summer by wearing long sleeve shirts... I have always worn jeans outside for work so my legs have no had the years of exposure...

Nice here again today... snow is slowly receding... more later... enjoy Guru's....

Amen to dat Brother Teeb.... anything but more of what we got.... the more they try and destroy him the stronger his numbers get.... the demoncrates are not to bright...

very nice here today... Doc down wid da Vid 19 or so the home test says.... home from work today.... I'm staying away....

be nice today Guru's...

..I'm voting for truth and the American way.... so that would be the Trumpster.... we had it good when he was in and now we have it bad because he isn't.... and the fact the socialists are so scared of him tells you something... right?

Clear here and mucho work to do.... always lean right Guru's

geez...now you're making me hungry.... you had me at pan dripping gravy....

We are having more sunshine and blue skies.. warmer also...it is not getting old...

worked on the 56 intermittent brake light problem...sometimes it works sometimes not... have addressed it before... the car has LED brake lights which I like.... so changed the passenger side out for a new one thinking that would fix it.... it did for about 2 minutes then started up again.... did I ever tell you I hate F'n wiring......

so then thought it might be the brake lite switch under the dash and while under there found a loose ground wire and worked on it and TA DA.... now the rear lights are all working..... geez..... anyway it's a hobby right? Keeping 60 year old cars running.... gotta love it....

go out and bask in the sunlight Guru's....

Haha.... sunshine in Huskerland with no wind and warmer temps... I went and stood on the back deck and marveled at it all..... no bitching here today.... on weather anyway... plenty of other bitching going on....

got Carmen Electra Glide back and they fixed the small chip in the paint on the tank and changed the oil and gave it a once over for tolerances... did a detail on it also... looks like it did brand new.... only $395 bucks this time.... feels like I robbed them...

Be happy Guru's.....

Morning Guru's.... got back from Colorado last night and was good sleeping in my own bed... drove in dense fog for the last 100 miles.... never my favorite...

looking forward to the weekend.... oh yeah... keep rocking Guru's

I'm out in the wild west at a farm show... 50 and sunny yesterday.... partly cloudy and 50 again today.... will not argue with dat....

What up with the Tomato Gris... easy fix hopefully....

Make sure you wear masks when in the house Matt....

have a prosperous day Guru's....

no rain here.... just snow and ice.... better temps today and improving thru the week... we may be over the worst of it...

Got some new Optics for my Springfield Armory Saint AR-15... I went with the Sig Sauer Romeo 5XDR Gen II for the Red Dot and the Sig Juliet 5 Micro Compact Magnifier for the long range shots... The Juliet flips up out of the way for close in shots... looks nice and would like to post a pic but you know how that goes.... I will bore sight them first and then hit the range this spring.... I have had the rifle since probably 2017 and been using the iron sights so thought I would try some optics especially for the 100 to 200 yard shots....

other than that not much going on.... be cool, be kind, be careful out there Guru's

Ha....was -17 this morning when I let the dog out.... he did not spend a lot of time out and about....

I see we have reached the pinnacle of being $34 Trillion in debt... that means we have spent $34 Trillion more dollars then we make.... don't try this at home.... Interest on the debt is a mere $2 Billion a DAY.... or 730 Billion a year... damnation... we been sold down da river ya.... hope everyone enjoyed the free stuff because the day is coming we will regret it.... buy gold and silver Guru's.....

they say low taxes are partly to blame.... hey hey aren't they taxing the rich like they said? What do you mean the rich all went offshore wid der bucks? Imagine that.... I sure hope I can pay 50 to 60% of what I earn to help them out... sunsabiches..... lock and load Guru's...

try and have a nice day Guru's.....

-6 this morning but really going to get cold tonight.. -15 below....hope its real windy also.... geez.... warm up coming next week with temps in the 30's.... very nice!

Carmen Electra Glide made it to the HD store before the blizzard hit yesterday... they called and let me know baby was ok.... all part of the service... there will probably be a charge for it..

Just passing thru Guru's....

Had to get the snowblower out to dig out the back garage door.... needed to get the FLH HD out so the dealer can pick it up and take it in for service.... had not started snowing yet but its coming down now ya.....

No Charge on the HD pickup and return.... beats having to dig out my trailer and haul it in.... the HD dealer is being extra nice since they closed down another dealership 45 miles to the west of me.... Started out with 8 in State dealers and now down to 3.... do not understand their corporate mentality on less is better....

keep rolling dem bones Guru's....

only 7 degrees this morning.... actually walked out to the mailbox it was so nice.... up in the double digits now... it's just a trick though...back to -15 overnight this weekend...

I'm scouting out some Wilwood brakes for da fiddysix... need more whoa... still has the drum brakes on the rear... will be wanting to stop on a dime...

get some go Guru's..... then worry about the whoa...

...only -10 last night...this keeps up we may have to dig the Weber out of the 4 foot drift its in on the deck....

Outstanding pic Gris.... that was even before they had color photography...

Matt I remember I once had a job that started at 8pm in the evening and I got off at 6 am... hated it... another was from 11 pm to 7 am..... first one was delivering gasoline to stations overnight and the second one was stacking 50# bags of sugar in huge square stacks for GW Sugar Co.... no heat in the warehouse...you had to ride up and down the conveyer belt to get on or off the stack.... the guys I worked with were all Latino and American Indians.... they would smoke dope and Hash all night..... great job....

hope your job is better then dat....

Sun is out so just putting one foot in front of the other... think spring Guru's....

...aw...they are so pretty....

You know its been cold when you go out at -1 and think...hey this ain't half bad out here.... had to scoop out the path to the Propane tank... they won't deliver if they can't get to it.... work goes on..as we continue on our quest to sell fertilizer.... it helps that the farmers are trapped inside...

it is snowing here now.... we are in the guts of winter...

dream of warm places and happy faces Guru's..

...add a 0 behind that Gris and that is what we woke up to... nasty business.... dog went out and set of record for doing his business... I could not keep my hand on the storm door handle... F'n brutal out there ya....

Rogers Pass Montana had a low of -70 in 1954 which still holds the record...Alaska has recorded an -80 below temp wid no wind chill.... put a 20 mph wind on that and see how you like it..

Coldest here in Cornville was -47 degrees.... Arkansas was -29 so you are toasty compared to dat VB.... Hawaii was 12 degrees and Florida recorded a -2 in Tallahassee in 1899.... that would ruin a day at the beach....

Time for some Oyster stew wid the little round crackers in it..... and some football...... do some jumping jacks if you are cold Guru's...

...hmmmm.....neighbor dog may have to mysteriously disappear some night....can't have no killer dogs in da hood mon...

Tip of the hat to Teeb... you are all league in our book...

-12 outside with a 25 mph north wind.... that would feel like -35 if you were out in it..... I got out early this AM when it was only -5 and got the snowblower going which I fixed... seems the shear pins broke.... I installed a couple of grade 8 bolts which should take care of the problem.... hell maybe I can use it as a tree branch chipper now....

I made a pot of Oyster stew and it's a balmy 73 in the house with the fiber optics internet streaming all our favorites...

roll with it Guru's

Blizzard #2 is still raging.... it is worse than the first one.... went out to work on some of the bigger drifts with my Toro snow blower and it no blow no Mo....... something broke in the blade tranny so the secondary blade stopped working.... My wife said it is time to get serious on snow and mow equipment.... she's talking John Deere serious.... like 15 to 20 large serious.... yikes... she says if we are going to live here as we get older we gotta have machines that can make that happen.....

I'm thinking a 65 Corvette would be just what we need....

county roads closed as is the interstate I'm sure....

I'm thinking it would be a good day for some oyster stew....

thing positive thoughts Guru's

Ya...next five days we will hit like -1 to 0 for the highs and minus -15 to -17 at night.... time to huddle around the fireplace and put warm bricks in the bed to warm it up...

when it rains it pours Gris.... seems like we go along for awhile with no problems then 2 or 3 things hit at about the same time.... just goes to show ya, it's always something...

keep your cards close to your vests Guru's....

some snow tomorrow but we are headed into the deep freeze.... 17 below over the weekend.... Saturdays football game in KC is supposed to be at -5 degrees.... I love those ice bowl games...

start bringing in the wood for da fireplace Guru's.... it's warm somewhere....

ya Gris...and they recharge in like an hour.... I'll see if I can find the link..... Mmmm... link like in link sausages... Ima having dat for Bfast tomorrow....

Get up and get the chores done Guru's.... very cold out who would have thunk it for January....

I see they are testing a new EV battery that will go 300,000 miles before it needs a charge.... now I may look at EV's if that comes to pass...

never look back Guru's......

....don't worry Matt...I won't forget my BFF's... Had a travel day so left early before the Blizzard got wound up and got far enough west to outrun it and had blue skies when I got to where I was going. They did close the Interstate behind me after the wind picked up... don't worry I showed Doc how to get the snowblower going...

just keep charging around like you know what you're doing Guru's.....

....I'm thinking more along the line of living next to you guys.... and taking your how to gamble and win classes you hold in the evenings at the Casino....

....and why do you think we spend so much time out in the greenhouse during the winter... Nitro-Mag for Nitro-Weed...

...you will know if it pays off when I show up in our new StingE....or E Ray or Grand SportE..... I like that Cacti color... like mint green.... green like money....

I'm supposed to head to western Nebraska this week so better watch the weather.... that is why they made 4 wheel drive though right?

thanks for the kind words on the Nitro-Mag spot... we have a world class marketing team which is something I have never had the luxury of working with in the past... and yes Doc got several new blenders... one that only works if you are making Margaritas....

Soon we will have a signature blender for give away at the shows we go to... I will sign them and they will be almost priceless after dat.... right?

today I better do some laundry and work out some..... have a really swell day Guru's

....thought you might be interested in this... I was thinking they should have Brad Pitt or Stallone to play my part.....

This is the new fertility product I came up with about 6 years ago..... sales are brisk....

I am up and headed to meetings.... cold, cloudy, looks a lot like winter... but hey the days are getting longer right?

keep your cool Guru's

....Icy is the word for the day here in the Heartlands.... freezing fog.... trees are beautiful though.... icy wonderland.....

Cannot get Christmas stuff down until the weekend... made me chuckle about the band Matt.... you gotta go to watch the band... RR#1 will be looking for you in the crowd.... before you know it there will be an empty house with just you and your bride and lots of time to see the sights....

get moving Guru's.....

...not much going on here.... sunny out.... so there is that... writing a new paper on sciencey plant stuff.... need more coffee.... more as it happens...

..speaking of timeless.....

soooo.....this is what the future feels like.... seems a lot like the past so far......

everyone has vamoosed from the home 20 and are back at their lives... took the ornaments and lights off the tree and will wrap it so the dried needles will not get all over..... then to the recycle dump where you feel better about your dead tree being used for good.... they probably all end up in the land fill but it's the thought that counts right?

a rolling stone gathers no moss Guru's....

Happy new Year Guru's..... only the best for you all.... I have been thinking back to the past years and we went through some rough times in the 60's and 80's and so on.... so figuring it will get better or it won't... I will do what I can do to ride out the storms.....

went to bed at the usual time last night and was awakened by fireworks at midnight.... or it may have been semi automatic weapons now the we can get ammo again..... I fluffed the pillow and went back to sleep....

The body will not go where the mind has not gone first.... so think happy thoughts and be hopeful for the future Guru's...

...it's to bad you hate F'n plumbing so much...since you are really good at fixing it...

Part of the tribe left and the heir to the throne is still here.... Doc made her famous 4 B's tomato soup from the 4 B's restaurants in Montana and Wyoming.... damn good soup!

I'm done with the Holidays also... time to gear up and get to work in 24.... get out the door in 24 Guru's....

...I'm loving the Spoonful.....

...yeah....Go Go Girls....

wishing and a hoping and a praying..... Christmas has returned to our house as the Star City kids show up for food and presents.... Doc out making up way more food then we could eat in one day... I'm thinking enough for a thrashing crew...

Yes I did the floors..... and they do look good... cold and cloudy here today..... I better get a fire going in the fireplace.... make it more cheery....

stop and take it in Guru's.....

Got kids coming in tomorrow so it's time to do the floors... not really into it but will get er done...

clear and cold here today.... do your best Guru's

..no go on da sunshine here... thin overcast and damp cold... blah.... My wife says we should buy a car that appreciates not depreciates... so there you have it... that is why she is the Doc... I am not buying a C2 or C3 until I can write the check... F borrowing money.... debt free living is the only way to go at our age....

keep paying that Social Security Guru's..... I'm needing it..

Thought for the day...... The U.S. Government is bankrupt.

..good luck on the sales Tommy... time to move on.... when I get back in the Corvette game it will be a C2 or a big block C3... going back to my first loves....

sun is out over the vast whiteness of winter...it is cold out but nice in the house....so I better stay in....

I see it took 36,000 gallons of water to put out a Tesla that caught on fire recently... it's like a little Nuke meltdown... some are recommending burying the car in dirt till it burns itself out..... 500 to 1000 gallons to put out an ICE car fire on average.... just saying.....

get ready Guru's....

..thanks for passing that along Teeb..... I would like to do that.... wish I had more from my folks history and their folks....

Yep the blizzard is over so the digging out commenced... had to go out and get the snowblower out of the mow shed because we live by the motto... do not be prepared......

It is funny when you expect a machine to start that has sat for a year without being touched... I at least had put Sta-Bil in it.... took a bit of getting the choke just right but it finally started and away we went.... worked up a good sweat getting the driveway all cleared off....

I'm watching a show called For All Mankind on Apple+ TV.... It is good especially if you are into Sci-Fi... It starts in the early 60's when NASA is working to get to the moon and are shocked when Russia beats us to it by a month. From there on it is revisionist history as NASA and America continued to concentrate on the space race and colonization of the Moon and eventually Mars.... early on there are a lot of Corvettes in the show because that is what the Astronauts all drove, right?

have a day of rest Guru's

Merry Christmas Guru's...... this is the first Christmas since 1986 that Doc and I have spent alone. Family celebration coming up next week. We are grateful that we are able to be together still....

Enjoy you all.... all the best for the coming year...

...finally went and did some shopping and attended church at 4 this afternoon.... all back home and wood brought in for fireplace.... the blizzard cometh they say..... bring it I say.... got the oyster stew simmering and the internet humming.... Merry Christmas to all....and to all a good night!

..I suppose I better go get some gifts.... makes it simple if you wait until the last minute because there is hardly anything left....

not bad here... thin overcast... may hit 58 degrees..... way to warm for end of Dec..... something is not right....It's....AAAAAAAHHHHHH IT'S GLOBAL WARMING.....AAAAAAHHHHH.. everyone buy EV's to save us....

enjoy your people Guru's

...better get some ammo also.... you know...just in case...

My sons girlfriend had her Hyundai stolen for the second time a few days ago.... no one can find it so she is taking insurance settlement on it... I been helping her try and find a different car as they are sheep to the slaughter when walking into a car dealership.... geez....

was going to tell them I would come down and hammer out the deal wid the stealership... but thought they got to do this on their own... so I am giving them instructions and turning them loose.... it's a scary thing....

I am officially off until after the new year....

Ho Ho Ho Guru's

damnation and a pox on them thieves .... sunsabiches.... you really want to have all alarms functioning.... I have had the shop and office alarms deactivated but may reconsider with all that is going on.... I got a lot of stuff in here ya...

Had my last meeting until after the new year... that is ok wid me....

VB how bout a road trip down the west coast of the Sunshine State in search of the sun? Hell Ft. Meyer is always sunny right? Or even Clearwater and St. Pete should be good....

nah forget it I just looked and its cloudy and rain from sunday all the way thru next week..... at St. Pete....

We will stay by the fire and binge watch something...

Enjoy Guru's
