Going to go do something I haven’t done in at least 30 years.

Going with my son the electrician and the Grandson to make some memories.

I’ll be back later with some pictures so stay tuned.

Holy crap,

I didn’t know anything about it until my brother texted me asking about it. The LA Times and Reuters Both didn’t have anything about it. I looked up his name on Brave and found this,

Lindsey Graham

American lawyer and politician (born 1955)

lgraham.senate.gov

Lindsey Olin Graham (/ɡræm/ GRAM; July 9, 1955 – July 11, 2026) is an American politician and attorney serving as the senior United States senator from South Carolina.

Then the Wifely Unit got in her phone and saw it on NBC and the Washington Post.

Breaking news

Lindsey Graham, longtime South Carolina senator, dies after sudden illness, according to his office

Damn, there wasn’t anything about him being sick that I know of but apparently he has kicked the bucket.

Bibi Netanyahoo is going to be devastated, along with anyone connected to The Military Industrial Complex and Johnson and Johnson’s Sex lube department.

The guy was one of the biggest War Mongers we had in Congress.

This is freaking hilarious. The only thing that would have made it better would be the douchebag looking like a porcupine full of roofing nails.

It won’t let me download or embed the video so click on the link above, it’s pretty funny.

Get a load of all the evil shit all these other Presidents pulled, starting with the very first one!

Surprised?

I grew up with it!

I had to watch this a few times to savor it and let it all sink in.

Every POS politician, gun control freak, lawyer and bureaucrat should have to listen to this on a loop 24/7 for a week.

I also had to use AI to identify this beautiful soul.

Her name is Joanna Martin and she also writes under the pseudonym Publius Huldah.

She is a former Army JAG Corps Captain and retired litigation attorney who serves as a prominent conservative legal commentator and political activist. 

Watch this and enjoy every second of it.

More like it puts this clown into “I’m A Piece Of Shit, Raging DoucheBag” territory.

It’s blatantly obvious that they are keeping him on ice so that they can avoid a special election.

It’s evil genius and I love it.

Fuckin’ with the newbie, yeah buddy, make sure that anvil is greased up good!

I am SO proud of her!

I thank God that I was fortunate enough to be born in this country, before it went to hell.

I am part of the last generation to know true freedom and am fortunate enough to have been around for not only it’s Bi Centennial 200th Birthday but now it’s 250th!

There is still very much to be proud of but our biggest and most powerful resource is and always has been, it’s people.

As the rest of the world recently found out during the World Cup with people from all over the world coming to visit, Amreicans are the most generous people on the face of the planet.

We are a kind, friendly and caring people, no matter what anyone tries to say differently.

So be proud today. Celebrate the last bastion of freedom left and no matter what, be true to your heritage and take no shit.

And just in case you are a bit old and jaded, take a minute to look at this place from the viewpoint of someone who wasn’t born here but has come to love the place like we do.

I know it wasn’t just us.

Well this would take that to a whole new level!!

Caution, you may want to mute the sound. Some dumbass overlaid that Commie Pinko Faggot Bruce Springsteen over it.

But I was fascinated watching them build a crossbow from scratch.

This is freakin’ WILD.

If you watch close, you will see there was a guy who rode the mountain down when the hillside slid.

I finally got around to swapping out the Harbor Freight 4 X 36 belt, 6 inch disc sanders.

The Wifely Unit got me the newer model two years ago for Christmas and as soon as I made a mounting plate and bolted it to a Harbor Freight machine stand and went to use it I was disappointed.

The table for the disc is only supported on one side and as soon as you put any pressure on it, it droops.

I’m sure I could have messed around and made another bracket for the other side but that wasn’t the only issue I had with it.

If you look at the belt table closely, you will notice it’s not level.

There is no mechanism to make it that way either.

It just has a plastic bumper it sits on.

That is also irritating.

Changing the drive belt is also a major pain in the ass.

So I said screw that.

I got on Ebay and bought a used one of the older model.

Unfortunately I wasn;t paying close enough attention to what I was looking at before I bought it and found out the hard way that it was missing a bunch of parts when it finally showed up. So now I have a parts unit laying around in case I ever need it I guess.

Undeterred and stubborn as always, I got back on EBay a couple weeks later and found a brand new, old stock one, still in the original box and bought that.

The actual price wasn’t bad, basically what a new one cost before they came out with the newer model.

The shipping killed me though.

I wound up paying about $165 for a $90 dollar sander.

Between the used one and the new one I could have probably went and bought a really nice one somewhere.

Oh well, It is what it is.

I took the new one off the stand, made some brackets and reused the same mounting holes to attach the new/old one to the stand I modified for the old,new one.

I pinched it down instead of drilling a bunch more holes and bolting it down.

It’ll work.

I see my photography skills could use a little help, the whole picture is crooked.

Being the nice guy that I am, I just drove over to Portland and gave the newer one to my Son In Law because he has a wood shop he is putting together.

I also gave him a brand new in the box Harbor Freight stand and a hiunk of 3/8’s plate I had the corners rounded off with a laser cutter at work to make an adapter plate out of, just like the one I had it on in my garage.

I didn’t feel like building another one so he gets to do that but it will be perfect for his needs when he gets done.

So that’s one less thing for me to trip over out in my Temple of Tools that is overflowing out the door.
