It’s inevitable.

It didn’t even blow up!

I can say without reservation that I would wind up nailing myself repeatedly.

One of the joys of being a mechanic type is the constant pain in the ass of getting little metal slivers in your hands and fingers. It’s even worse for me now that I work in a steel production plant. It is almost a weekly thing.

I spent 3 days digging this little bastard out of the pad on the end of my right index finger.

It was basically a No Seeum.

I could sure feel the fucker though. I wound up using a lighted magnifying glass and that pointed sliver removal tool. As you can see, the tip of that was bigger than the sliver so I had to gouge a fucking hole in my finger and then lever the little splinter out.

I have been fucking with the gate to the side yard for several years now.

I even built and replaced one side of it myseof out of frustration a couple years ago.

It got so bad I basically had to jam the two panels together and then push them shut to get to close at all for the last year.

I was bitching about it to my younger brother a while back and he volunteered to come replace it last week.

All I had to do was buy the materials and he did the rest. he is a retired union carpenter so he has skills I do not and never will posess.

It took 2 long days and 4 trips total to Lowes but he knocked it out nicely.

We rent this joint and I complained about it last year when they did their annual inspection but from past experience, they will only fix anything when it finally reaches the point of total failure.

They are due to come do their inspection sometime this month and theyare going to be in for a surprise. I don’t give a shit what it cost, I just wanted a damn gate that worked. My brother delivered. he worked his ass off in 95 degree weather until almost dark both days.

I helped here and there and even that kicked my ass. My lower back and right leg were killing me all day yesterday but I did whatever was needed to help. It turned out pretty good. keep in mind my brother is 4 years younger and about 100 pounds heavier.

The fence posts were solid but one leaned North and in while the other leaned South so he had to bolt 2X4’s to them to get a straight framing surface to build on first.

He had to build it by measuring and building it just by eye.

There are some metal brackets that I had to clean, straighten and in 2 cases, weld up that go in the corners and they gave him some trouble but he knocked that bitch out of the park in my opinion.

He was beat by the end of it and so was I. I took a shower and went to bed early last night and now I have to go to work today. Since he is retired, he can relax and recover.

I couldn’t thank him enough for doing that for me. he said he was glad to do and it and pay me back for all the times I have wrenched on his shit in the past. It works for me.

Multiple states are now denying the purchase of things like soda pop, chips, candy bars and other snack items using EBT cards.

Shit like this is coming to a screaming halt,

My heart bleeds purple peanut butter over it.

As people have been saying, this is EXACTLY what I voted for.

You can expect all these items in these states to be behind locked glass in 3…2…1.

Because we all know what’s coming next.

As if they aren’t doing it already.

Something else that needs to be addressed soon,

Shoplifting laws.

You can call me a racist all fucking day long.

I don’t give a rat’s ass.

It’s a huge fucking problem and it needs to be dealt with because it winds up affecting everyone.

You better damn well know that fucker will be rockin’ before sunset.
