Be Proud America!

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.

Out With The New And In With the Old

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.

I hope they don’t move here in droves…

According to reports, the euros have fallen in love with American fast food – this is the logical result. Mesmerized Europeans Begin Worshiping Bucc-ee Beaver.

Thnaks PS!

U.S. — According to sources, European tourists visiting the United States for the World Cup became mesmerized and bowed in worship to the golden statue of Bucc-ee Beaver.

Bucc-ee’s, a popular gas station chain based primarily in the American South, features a friendly beaver mascot that reportedly caused hundreds of Europeans to fall into a trance and pledge their lives to it.

Witnesses at multiple Bucc-ee’s locations reported seeing large groups of European visitors prostrate themselves before golden images of Bucc-ee Beaver and chant in strange tongues.

“I don’t know. It was German or Swedish or something,” said one concerned onlooker. “I guess they really like the Beaver Nuggets.”

A Bucc-ee’s spokesman said, “We are grateful to our European friends for their interest in Bucc-ee Beaver, but kindly ask that they please stop worshipping him.”

Although Bucc-ee worship is fairly benign in nature, sources said there remained great concern among local communities that it would quickly turn into a progressive form of Islam in which Bucc-ee Beaver is held up as a silent prophet who will impose strict judgment on infidels. The FBI reportedly designated European worship of Bucc-ee a cult and had begun investigating the practice as potential religious extremism.

At publishing time, Texas locations had dispersed Bucc-ee’s cultists by firing their guns wildly into the air.

Remember Who You Are

I saw this yesterday and promptly forgot about it because I was right at the end of my break and had to get back to work.

Leigh emailed me with it earlier while I was at work again but I remembered it as I just sat down after another ass kicker of a day.

Tom MacDonald knocked it out of the park and it’s shadowbanned on every social media platform.

Of course the Fuctard Liberals IMMEDIATELY lost what’s left of their minds over it and the threats started right away.

It looks to me like Tom can take care of himself if any of the ignorant motherfuckers actually get Froggy and want to jump.

My money says he packs heat because this ain’t his first rodeo with the Leftoids.
