A Work Weekend

A Work Weekend

Have We Ever Been Busy...

This post is late, mostly from last week, I was sure I'd already published it... So hold onto your hats folks it's a Long'in




The two cars were covered in pollen on Friday when we went to pick up Jason, he's helping us out for the weekend,  we cut up a downed Sumac tree that had fallen over, it was blocking the road to the boat, we'll try and free the boat from the collapsed carport this weekend too. We cut down several cherry trees, some Pine branches that were down, a Poplar, and several Russian Olives that have overgrown the road to the boat and trimmed the Forsythia bushes that got crushed by the last good snow we had a few weeks back.  So much tree damage here, you look into the woods and it looks like a bomb went off.

Jason and I managed to get two pines cut down in the vine encrusted mess along the road, we got a chain around them and pulled them out using the Tucson hitch. We dragged them out behind the burn pile, on the way back I decided to use the chain and the Tucson to pull the carport back up, so far so good, it righted without any real issue.  Then we pulled the boat trailer out, still good, I pulled the trailer and boat around the corner over a hummock, and "oh, no" car got stuck in the wet ground, the boat cover had 200+ gallons of water in it, I hooked up the bilge pump and pumped the water out, 30 minutes later we disconnected the trailer and got the RAV4, I connected the chain to the RAV4 frame and was able to free the Tucson, ugh, what a pain... The boat is still in the field for the time being until things dry out some more. 

Rose raked up 5 or 6 piles of branches over at the pines, we picked them up using the tractor trailer.

Fishing season is coming soon,  New Hampshire’s managed trout ponds starting on the fourth Saturday in April, and this year’s opening day is April 22.  Freshwater Fishing licenses are up to $45.00 this year, you need to be 68 to get the cheaper $7.00 license. We go to French Pond in Henniker, and Mount William Pond in Weare for trout. We need to go up to Concord to straighten out the boat registration, it lists a much larger gas motor, all we use is an electric trolling motor on the ponds around here...

The damned ticks are back on Friday, Jason, Rose and I each found a tick on us. It's spring so tick checks are mandatory. With all the Deer, squirrels, mice, chippy, woodchucks, and fox we're bound to see a few. It's looking like we may need to put bug stuff down more than once this year. We generally see a few in the spring, and after putting bug stuff down they're rare for the remainder of the season, time, and weather will tell I suppose. So the Bug B Gone we use to control them will go down maybe Sunday, Saturday we were beat... It's supposed to rain early Sunday morning that's helpful as it gets the bug stuff down into the soil. 

We did our taxes, we only owed $370 this year, yay! 

MickeyD's Big Mac combo meal is now selling for $16.89 in Connecticut.  I was telling Jason you could get a hamburger, small fries and a coke for $.99 back in the day, LOL  gettin' old...

We can guess your education level quiz...

Rose let the dogs out on Saturday morning early, out they went then she smelled Skunk, oh, crap! Out she went with a flashlight calling the dogs back into the house, no one got sprayed tonight!

Bear cub meets fawn 

Sunday Jason and I went down to get grain, hit the bank, and got Rose's car washed, Jason and I put air in both tractor trailers, both had low pressure, one had already rolled off the rim so a ratchet strap was used to get it back on the rim and pumped up. Jason put down the Tick stuff on the lawn where the Dog's can't get to it. 

Later Sunday evening Rose, Jason and I stopped over to Mom & Dad's house for Mom's B'day, they didn't want to go out to dinner, so Dad made his Shrimp, Orzo, and Tomato dish with Carrots and Spinach, it was very good! Who knew Dad could cook?  I set up Voicemail on Dad's cell phone.

Lisa, I picked up the soil test kit you dropped off at Dad's, Thank You!

We're back to see the Vet for more tests with Hannah, on Monday. Her numbers were much better with the meds, she's eating, playing and drinking better too.  We'll keep her on the meds another week and then cut the dosage in half to see where her numbers go.

Rose saw the Barn Swallow last week, he was fighting over a birdhouse with the Tree Swallow.

The grass in the field is growing like crazy now with the rains on Sunday and Monday.

Our Daff's and Hyacinths are blooming too!

We had 10 Deer come in the other night, there were four big does last night before dark


Saturday 4/22

  • Rose and I cut 6-8 dead Elms, a couple guys from up the street stopped their truck and asked if they could help push the big 8-10" trees down so they fell on my property and not into the road, they pushed while I cut.  Amazing to have great neighbors, never met them before, just a neighborly thing!
    • Two big trailer loads later we were done. Mostly...  The road in the field is still mushy, but we made it through without incident.
    • Wild roses, pucker-brush, and grape vines made the endeavor treacherous at best.
  • Cleaned up the last of the suckers under the weeping cherry.
  • Maybe get the boat moved out of the field to a better location. Maybe
  • Maybe pickup our fishing licenses, it's opening day today! 
  • We won't be putting in a garden this year, we'd like to have a summer...   Well maybe I'll just put in one or two tomato plants and see what happens to them.
  • Lots of maybe's...

Something got to the suet feeder, opened it and took the suet, don't think it was the bear, if it was the bear he was quite gentle about the theft... And the grain barrels are still upright, LOL

Rose moved the feed barrels out to the field by the deer yard.

One more stump Rose wants out in the front yard, it's off we go...

Spring on the farm is a never ending list of wanna-do's, and have to-do's

 



 

 





BIDENS MESS 

Drop and Roll how the 2020 election was stolen, worth the watch...

WSJ editorial board says Biden shouldn't run in 2024: 'His decline is clear': The Wall Street Journal editorial board said President Biden was too old to seek… https://t.co/tAeYqCg9fT
 

I honestly cannot remember the last time that the Federal Reserve actually predicted that a recession would be coming.  Normally, the Fed is wildly optimistic with their projections because they want us to have faith that their policies are working. But now even they have thrown in the towel.

Biden’s Broken Border: New Study Shows Illegal Immigration Costs American Taxpayers at Least $151 Billion Each Year. For those of you who haven’t yet gotten sick of counting, we’re now at more than 6.3 million illegal crossings.

And then there were the ones who didn’t have to follow the rules. The members of a class who reigned, as from Olympus, to whom the rules and limitations did not apply. The ones who ate steak while everyone else pretended that crickets were steak. The ones who controlled The Algorithms instead of being controlled by them. 


WRONG AGAIN on Climate...

Prediction: 1989: Back to the same doom predictions of global warming:

A senior U.N. environmental official says entire nations could be wiped off the face of the Earth by rising sea levels if the global warming trend is not reversed by the year 2000.

Fact: the predictions were 100% wrong because they were just made up. 

Prediction: In 2000 we heard predictions that there would be snowless winters.

Fact: The predictions were 100% wrong.

Prediction: In 2005, after hurricane Katrina hit, we were told that global warming would cause more frequent and more severe hurricanes.

Fact: The predictions were 100% wrong because they were just made up. We actually had a very mild ten-year hurricane period after Katrina. 

Prediction: In 2008, ABC predicted great disasters by 2015 because of global warming

Fact: The predictions were 100% wrong

Appearing on Good Morning America in 2008, Bob Woodruff hyped Earth 2100, a special that pushed apocalyptic predictions of the then-futuristic 2015.

Prediction: John Kerry and Al Gore told us that the ice caps in the Arctic would be gone in a few years

Fact: The predictions were 100% wrong. Why do media outlets treat Kerry, Gore and others as experts when they just make stuff up that is always wrong?

Prediction: In April of 2022, it was predicted that the winter of 2023 in California would be dry again, continuing a climate change-caused drought. 

In April of 2022, the Los Angeles Times featured a front-page article warning me and the rest of the state that we would have another dry winter. Super dry. The Times warned.

Fact: 100% wrong. The winter of 2023 has been extremely wet, snowy and cold. Records have been set.

If the ‘experts” can’t predict the climate nine months out, why should we believe what they tell us the temperature will be 100 years from now?

The prediction in March of 2023 by the UN is the same as what we have heard for one hundred years and they have been wrong for one hundred years. Yet, the media just repeats all these made-up predictions as if they are factual.

Earth to Hit Critical Global Warming Threshold by Early 2030s - The New York Times (nytimes.com)

Earth is likely to cross a critical global warming threshold within the next decade unless drastic changes are made, a major U.N. report said.

It is no wonder young people like AOC and Greta Thunberg just repeat what they have been told their entire life. Like most journalists, they do no research and ask no questions.

And it is not just climate change where they pretend predictions are facts:

Prediction: In 2009, when they were trying to pass Obamacare, they predicted premiums would drop substantially.

Fact: the prediction was 100% wrong. Prices skyrocketed. It is obvious that when the government adds massive mandates, when competition is reduced, and people are forced to buy something, that prices would go up, not down.

Prediction: If the government took over student loans, they would make enough profit to help pay for Obamacare.

Fact: The prediction was 100% wrong. The costs is massive to the government and taxpayers.

Prediction: In 2016, while Mark Zandi, of Moody’s was supporting Hillary, he put out garbage predictions about how Trump’s policies would harm the economy.

Fact: the predictions were 100% wrong

 “If Mr. Trump gets precisely what he’s proposed, then the U.S. economy will suffer meaningfully,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics. “It will result in a lot of lost jobs, higher unemployment, higher interest rates, lower stock prices.”

When Democrats want to pretend they have an independent economist to support their policies, they frequently use Zandi.

Prediction: In 2017, Trumps’ tax rate cuts would cost trillions.

Fact: The prediction was 100% wrong. Revenues have risen substantially, as they did under Reagan and Bush when they cut rates.

The CBO routinely underestimates the cost of government spending programs and underestimates revenues when tax rates are cut. The CBO, after all, are part of the deep state and benefit as the government gets bigger.

Prediction: In 2017 they predicted that prices would soar if the individual mandate disappeared.

Fact: the predictions were 100% wrong. Prices stabilized. When you take away mandates, increase competition, and stop forcing people to buy something prices are more likely to go down, not up. It is a simple concept.

Prediction: In 2021, we were told that inflation would be transitory.

Fact: The prediction was 100% wrong. All people must know is that Biden’s energy policies caused prices to rise and energy prices affect everything we buy or use.

Government policies should clearly be based on facts, not made-up predictions.

We certainly should not allow un-elected leftists to intentionally destroy industries that directly and indirectly employ tens of millions of people, and have greatly improved our quality and length of life.

It is a complete dereliction of responsibility when people posing as journalists just repeat what they are told to push an agenda instead of doing research and asking questions.

I would love to see Kerry, Gates, Gore, Biden, Obama and others be asked to show one piece of scientific data that shows a correlation between temperature and our consumption of oil and coal. Hint: there is none, which is why journalists won’t ask the question. 

The current climate lie is so laughable, I can't comprehend how any sane person can fall for it. And #chemtrails are fine but cows farts and now Rice are gonna kill us all!🤦‍♂️#ClimateScam pic.twitter.com/fOEA4ICE23

Its the GUNS!

It’s become virtually impossible to find reliable data or polling on gun violence these days. A new Kaiser Family Foundation report being shared by virtually every major media outlet this week offers us a good example of why. The headlines report that “1 in 5 adults” in the United States claim that a “family member” has been “killed” by a gun. And, let’s just say, that’s a highly dubious claim.

There are 333 million people living in the United States, and somewhere around 259 million of them are over the age of 18. Twenty percent of those adults equals nearly 52 million people. There were more than 40,000 gun deaths in 2022, and around 20,000 of them were homicides — a slight dip from a Covid-year historic high that followed decades of lows. So, according to Kaiser’s polling, every victim of gun violence in the past few years had hundreds, if not thousands, of “family members.”
 
 
“Make no mistake about it. The powers that be don’t believe they can do CBDC and complete transaction control, steal all your property unless they have gun control”

GAS PRICES GOING UP AGAIN

Trump sees what’s going on.

Gasoline has just hit a 5 month high. Now that Biden has emptied the Strategic Oil Reserves, which should never have been done, here we go again…And so unnecessary. I had oil and gas at long term Record Lows – And NO INFLATION!

WHAT THE HELL???

UN Issues Report Pushing for Normalization and Decriminalization of Pedophilia

The United Nations is now declaring that pedophilia is a human right and this so-called human right should not be criminalized or prosecuted.  They are clearly saying that minors can consent to sex with an adult.
