It's JUNE Already!

IT'S JUNE ALREADY!

 

Toilet Paper - The official US Patent documents show it going over the top/hanging down the front. If it's good enough for the patent application, it's good enough for me.

SpaceX Inspiration4 launch made of multiple telescope tracking shots.

It's been 14 years since the film UP! was released...

The Catbirds, Oriels and oddly enough Sparrows are eating the grape jelly.

We hit Tractor Supply to pick up a Deer block, we should have fawns soon enough, our two smaller deer will need something to eat after the larger does kick them out of the deer yard because of new fawns, Rose thinks we have two pregnant does.

We picked up a bag of Black Soldier Fly larvae yesterday instead of meal worms, we'll see if they like them the same as the meal worms, cheaper too. We'll try them out after our open bag is gone, all the birds seem to love the meal worms.

Saw the downy woodpecker yesterday

Saw another article that as much as 90% of the grape harvest was ruined by the frost a few weeks ago.

The ticks seem to have calmed down the last couple of weeks since Rose's last trip to the Lilac bushes, not sure if it's the mowing or what. We haven't seen a tick in weeks now.

Rosie and I cut out all for the Plum tree suckers growing up to 40' away from the main tree, hundreds of 'em. talk about a tree made for drought conditions, it's roots growing that far out.

Gathered the tools to replace the upstairs faucet and drain, almost broke my glasses in the basement, banged my head on a low board, did you hear me cussing? 

 

We hung up another whirligig, getting the accumulating spring junk out of the kitchen...

Four men are in the hospital waiting room because their wives are having babies.

• A nurse goes up to the first guy and says, "Congratulations! You're the father of twins." "That's odd," answers the man. "I work for the Minnesota Twins!"

• A nurse says to the second guy, "Congratulations! You're the father of triplets!"  "That's weird," answers the second man. "I work for the 3M company!"
• A nurse tells the third man, "Congratulations! You're the father of quadruplets!" "That's strange," he answers. "I work for the Four Seasons hotel!"
• The last man is groaning and banging his head against the wall. "What's wrong?", the others ask"  "I work for 7 Up!"

“Being Old is Not Easy”

• I’m at a place in my life where errands are starting to count as going out.
• I don’t always go the extra mile, but when I do, it’s because I missed my damned exit.
• My goal for 2023 was to lose 10 pounds. Only have 14 to go.
• I just did a week’s worth of cardio after walking into a spider web.
• Senility has been a smooth transition for me.
• I may not be that funny or athletic or good looking or smart or talented. I forgot where I was going with this.
• I love being old, I learn something new every day and forget 5 other things.
• Just remember, once you’re over the hill, you begin to pick up speed.
• Having plans sounds like a good idea until you have to put on clothes and leave the house.
• It’s weird being the same age as old people.
• When I was a kid I wanted to be older . . this is not what I expected.
• Life is like a helicopter. I don’t know how to operate a helicopter.
• It’s probably my age that tricks people into thinking I’m an adult.
• Never sing in the shower! Singing leads to dancing, dancing leads to slipping, and slipping leads to paramedics seeing you naked. So remember. . . . Don’t sing!
• If 2023 was a math word-problem: If you’re going down a river at 2 MPH and your canoe loses a wheel, how much pancake mix would you need to re-shingle your roof?
• I see people about my age mountain climbing; I feel good getting my leg through my underwear without losing my balance.
• So if a cow doesn’t produce milk, is it a milk dud or an udder failure?
• You don’t realize how old you are until you sit on the floor and then try to get back up.
• We all get heavier as we get older, because there’s a lot more information in our heads. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

Perspective...

A young couple moves into a new neighborhood. The next morning while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hanging the wash outside. "That laundry is not very clean; she doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap." Her husband looks on, remaining silent. Every time her neighbor hangs her wash to dry, the young woman makes the same comments.

A month later, the woman is surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and says to her husband: "Look, she's finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?" The husband replies, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows." And so it is with life... What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look.

Thursday evening Rose went out with the dogs and heard the bear huffing loudly, a warning maybe over on the property line between us and the neighbors. I went out and we shined the flashlights over in that direction to no avail. 

The Black flies seem to have abated somewhat, they're not too bad here now, I'm guessing the Mosquitos will be coming soon though..

It's Friday, Enjoy the day, T-Storms later today possibly they said

We finally have a female Hummingbird, we saw the male hummer doing his courtship dance yesterday, zipping up and down over and over by the feeder, this morning he and his mate were both doing the courtship dance.

We had a Downy Woodpecker at the Grape Jelly feeder yesterday, he stayed eating for a while.

Saturday I replaced the bathroom faucet, everything in an old house takes way longer than you think, I got the drain out of the sink as the drain tube crumbled in my hands, yikes, then onto removal of the faucet, the water lined disconnected without any issue, then onto removing the faucet itself.  Removing the nuts that hold the faucet proved to be a lot more difficult, it's a small cabinet, smaller than me and uncomfortable to get into.  Finally got them loose after taking a hammer to the faucet that loosened it enough that I could remove the two nuts, yay!  Got it all back together water lines connected & testing it, water poured out around the drain, WTH?  I ended up sealing the lower gasket with plumbers putty to resolve that issue.  Done...

Sunday was wet too.  Four deer out tonight around 8pm, the biggest one was chasing the smaller does out of the deer yard.  Rose says she definitely looks pregnant.

 

 

 

Our government has spent almost $32 trillion more than it has taken in – about $95,000 per person or $250,000 per actual taxpayer – and there’s no way it will ever be paid off. I don’t say that because it’s impossible mathematically, I say it because it’s impossible politically. Only a handful of Members of Congress even pretend to care, fewer still actually do, and none of them are in a position to do anything serious about it.

 

We are witnessing our nation now being destroyed by the powerful Democrat demons and betrayed by the pitiable weakness and cowardice of our Republican champions.  Unless the Republicans, the Patriots, the Conservatives, the lovers of our Constitution, quickly rise up and display backbone, this great American experiment may well perish from the earth.

 

We have reached a time in history when control over what you say and what you believe is going to become increasingly restrictive.

Our society is rapidly becoming the exact opposite of what our founders intended, and previous generations of Americans would vomit all over the place if they could see what we have done to the nation that they sacrificed so much to give us.

 

Outrageous! A Children’s Choir Stopped Mid-Performance While Singing National Anthem at US Capitol, Capitol Police Claims it is a Prohibited Form of Protest, What is wrong with the current occupiers of the white house???

We had these, Lawn Darts, throw 'em up in the air and run...

Democrats love to refer to America as systemically racist. Most of us on the Right do not believe that.

 

This is exactly what mind control looks like

Meanwhile, it was revealed throughout this process that CISA has categorized people’s “thoughts” as being part of the government’s infrastructure – meaning the government believes it owns whatever activity takes place inside your head. 

State Farm said it will no longer accept new applications for home and business insurance in California because of an increase in catastrophic events and construction costs, the company announced Friday. “State Farm General Insurance Company made this decision due to historic increases in construction costs outpacing inflation, rapidly growing catastrophe exposure, and a challenging reinsurance market,” the insurance company said in a statement.

COVID

More than 300 COVID-19-related articles have been retracted — long after they’d done their damage — due to a lack of scientific truthfulness and ethical guidelines, according to Retraction Watch, a website that monitors retractions of science-related articles. A total of 330 COVID-related papers have been retracted thus far.

FACT-O-RAMA! The Lancet used fraudulent research when stating that hydroxychloroquine caused an increased risk of heart arrhythmia and even death in patients with COVID-19. This publication was eventually retracted but not until the Norwegian government and the World Health Organization (WHO) used this article as a reason to stop their research into the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine on COVID. Both have since resumed testing.

What's left of the economy

As many as 89.1 million American adults (or about 38.5%) were found to experience some form of difficulty in covering expenses between April 26 and May 8, according to Bloomberg, citing new data from the Household Pulse Survey. This is up from 34.4% in 2022 and 26.7% during the same period in 2021.

Imagine electric-powered rigs hauling goods across the country while reducing our carbon footprint. But like most every government mandate, this is another directive that’s too good to be true (or too true to be good). For one, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has mandated that trucking fleets operating in or near ports buy only zero-emissions trucks beginning in January 2024. By 2035, trucks in all fleets must be completely zero emission. 

WOKE

People infected with wokeness blame racism, white supremacy, homophobes, misogyny, religion, climate change, capitalism, etc. when things don't go their way.  They insist that a human is a man when biology proves, through DNA, anatomical bone structure, and genitalia she was born with, that the human is female.  And vice versa.  Woke has become a medical industrial money-making vehicle for transgender surgeries and lifelong hormones, starting in early childhood.  Body dysmorphia is a mental condition for which treatment is needed.  Just like anorexia.  Both may be fatal. 

The woke want to spread their ideology.  They attempt to control language through invented words and phrases.  They impose rules for others to use: pronouns, of their choice, for example.  If the pronouns they claim are not obeyed to their satisfaction, they may threaten violence due to trigger words, which they call verbal violence.  Or they may announce that someone hurt their feelings, and that person is therefore evil.

Too many of our fellow citizens, stressed and shell shocked by the blitzkrieg carried out by the former Democrat party, have been emotionally damaged and driven into hiding, along with their families, in the ruins of their homes, lives, and businesses.  The fires and intimidation of Antifa and BLM still smolder across the land, and every day new attacks are launched against our school children at every grade level, as we are lectured and harassed to accept, nay, welcome, their corruption, sexualization, mutilation, and indoctrination.  Meanwhile, those normative guardrails for any civilization to exist:  Law and order, safety, common values and heroes, trustworthy lawmakers and leaders, and respect for the sacrifices and gifts of our ancestors; these are all being dissolved in an acid wash of lies and propaganda.

 

That's All Folks!
