I hope you all had a chance to kick back and relax today.
I already know Rayburn didn’t, he sent me a video of a big 4 wheeler he’s has been rebuilding the engine on for a while now. Running like a top.
That guy amazes me.
I got my present yesterday.
The Wifely Unit got tired of my stubborn ass out here trying to keep up with the nightmare yardwork around this fucking joint and called my 3 kids behind my back.
They showed up with both Grandkids and I got a double bonus when my cousin from Texas showed up with my younger second cousin in tow!
Man did they go to town too.
They filled the back of my truck up 3 times with just yard debris. Trimming bushes, cutting down shit the wife wanted gone, raking and all kinds of shit.
It poured rain for about five minutes at one point but then it cleared up and the rain stayed away after that.
We couldn’t ask for more.
After the last load of brush and shit got hauled off, they filled the truck up again with a bunch of crap that needs to go to the dump, including that little chest freezer that died.
One of the two transfer stations around here is about a half a mile from where I work so I can just zip down there after I get off Monday.
Of course all I heard all day yesterday was “Sit Down Old Man” or words to that effect.
Drove me crazy but I still managed to get a few licks. The joke is on them though. I went out and mowed the lawn this morning and then dug my little mechanic’s stool on wheels and the pressure washer. I pressure washed the whole driveway and part of the sidewalk until I ran out of hose to stretch.
Sat down for that whole deal almost.
Still, that was more than enough. I’m pretty tired now and my legs gave out so that tells me I am done for today.
I want to thank everybody that came over and helped out. It was great to see you all.
I’m dead serious. It would have never happened without you.
Thank You.
So that’s it for me, I gotta get cleaned up and then I am going to sit here on my dead ass and surf the net for a while.
(Someone(s) have gone completely around the bend here.)
The Los Angeles City Council has decided to remove ‘No U-Turn’ signs from a gay neighborhood, claiming they’re homophobic.
In an era where ideologies should be advancing, it’s baffling that the far-left remains stuck in the past, misreading everyday symbols as politicized messages.
Who, in the year 2024, still believes that road signs like “No U-Turn” are covert directives aimed at the LGBTQ+ community, instructing them not to engage in wild sex in the streets?
I didn’t know that traffic signs were hurting feelings.
Messages like, “No cruising. No U-turns. Midnight to 6 am” were posted around the neighborhood in 1997, with the intent to curb gay men from roaming the streets to hook up.
For years the signs remained, even as the city’s leadership changed and the community grew — until this week. In a celebration with LGBTQ community members, District 4 Councilmember Nithya Raman and District 13 Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martinez retired the signs on Monday.
“Los Angeles has a rich history of welcoming the LGBTQIA+ community, but there has also been real and present homophobia— which at times has been inscribed into the city’s physical spaces, as with these no-U-turn signs,” Raman said in a prepared statement.
[…]
“I would completely agree that we need to do more to protect these spaces,” said Soto-Martinez. “It’s not just unique to Los Angeles…we’re all sort of facing the same very serious challenges.”
(My Bold, if this is what they consider a serious problem then I can’t wait to see what their homeless program looks like. Oh wait…)
Yet, this explanation doesn’t sit well with many who see the removal as a knee-jerk reaction to a non-existent issue. Critics argue that repurposing standard traffic control measures into an anti-LGBTQ+ narrative is a stretch.
One social media user expressed disbelief, saying, “How tf is a uturn homophobic? We have real-life issues happening, and these stupid fvcks defeated a uturn signal. You can’t make this up.”
Another user highlighted broader urban challenges, commenting, “There’s so much crime in Los Angeles but this is what they’re concerned about”
Another added, “Imagine having nothing better to do with your life than look for ways to be offended like these people are doing. It’s pathetic.”
Apparently they have finally run out of people to attack and now are just imagining inanimate objects hurling slurs their way.
And yet no one has the balls to tell them to STFU and go see a shrink.
Instead they cower and jump to any lengths to try and keep these assholes happy.
Here’s a hint,
it will never happen.
They are fucked up in the head and you are not only not helping, you are now affecting the safety of the general public trying to shut these assholes up.
Take a good long look at this and remember it.
This is what insanity looks like.
Here’s another hint,
eventually someone in government is going to realize this and finally step up and tell these freaks to shut the fuck up and go the fuck away.
I normally do not edit Phil’s post. I wanted to add this. No more brother wars. It will be whites banded together this time. We will not be swayed by the jew influence to kill our white brothers.
Ya feel guilty for not doing anything, even when you really don’t want to.
Off and on over the last few months I have actually got a few things done out in that garage.
Some I already posted about.
Last week at work was a killer but we finally got shit back together and running Thursday evening. Me and another guy plus two outside Millwrights who specialize in Cut To Length Steel flattening machines put the finishing touches to a big Gear Box and Mandrel that holds the big coils of steel so they can be unwound. We wound up working late and the other two worked even later than us to make sure it actually worked after we tested it.
Friday thankfully was pretty chill because I was pretty much wiped out.
When I got home Friday however, I was still pretty much wiped out and I pretty much went to bed after trying to sleep in my recliner for an hour or so.
I slept about 16 frikkin’ hours too.
I also felt like warmed over dog shit when I did wake up.
A couple of cups of coffee and a couple smokes later, I texted my buddy from work and let him know what was going on and to ask him if he felt alright. He said he was good but let me know that one of the two Millwrights, the one I worked next to, had been sick earlier in the week.
Fuckin’ great.
Nice of someone to mention that before we were working right next to each other.
I don’t feel sick, I am just wiped out tired and my whole body hurts.
I took a pain pill, washed it down with coffee and started in about noon.
One of the smoke alarms in the bedroom had started chirping about 5:30 this morning and the wife was forced to flee to the Kid’s room so she could sleep.
I slept right through it.
That meant I had to dig out a ladder, a bunch of 9 volt batteries and go around changing batteries in all of those fuckers, first thing.
After putting that away, I had to go put gas in the wife’s car because she had some running around to do and when I got back from that, I threw some Freon in her beastie like I do every Summer to get her A/C working again.
She’s too cheap to get it fixed and there’s no fucking way I can do that job anymore. Front wheel drive nightmare.
Gotta get some more of that Freon too.. I have to go to Portland now because the Commies here in WA. State outlawed the little cans.
Can’t have the Peons being able to put Freon in their own vehicles now.
Think of the environment!
Cock Fucking Suckers anyway.
So I got that shit done and took a break.
Still felt like death But Wait! There is More!
Decided to go out in the garage for a while.
Fixed a donated Dewalt angle grinder. I had 2 that were dead.
One donated a set of brushes to the other then went in the trash so I got a free angle grinder out of the deal for twenty minutes of messing around.
As I was sitting there resting and looking around, that Mill Drill I bought last year and have used a whopping 3 times since, as a drill press, jumped in front of me.
I had done some work around it recently but had never really cleaned that thing up.
It was rusty and dirty as hell.
So I started cleaning it up.
A couple weeks ago I had installed an air/oil misting system and had bolted a back screen down plus bolted the electronic speed control box for the mill to it too.
The little Air Brush compressor I bought off Flea Bay. It isn’t strong enough so I have to upgrade it soon.
The oil/air mist mixing system that got donated when a monster band saw got scrapped at work.
Originally it had an electric control solenoid but I yanked that and put a Ball Valve in instead.
All going to a small nozzle on a flex arm I bought two years ago off Amazon or Flea Bay.
I was going to put it on a lathe at the time but never got around to it.
All this while really not feeling too great.
My legs are so bad now that after an initial burst of energy getting something done, I run out of steam pretty fast and have to rest. The more I do, the longer the rest periods are and the less actual work gets done. Last weekend when I was doing yard work, it got so bad that I could only work about two fucking minutes before I had to sit down.
Still waiting on fucking doctors after over a fucking year now. I’ve been anemic since the first of the year at least. They won’t do a fucking thing about that until I have a colonoscopy to rule out internal bleeding. I finally have, GET THIS, a fucking ZOOM appointment on Monday. I have to take half a fucking day off, to do a damn pre screening question interview, over the fucking internet, before they will schedule an actual colonoscopy.
Something that could be done on a piece of fucking paper!
Hand me the questions, I fill it out and hand them back. But No, that’s too fucking easy and we can’t justify the outrageous amounts we charge for insurance that way. Plus we get to hire another flunky.
So SOMETIME this Summer, MAYBE, I will finally get some damn surgery done and some stents put in. HOWEVER, there’s always at least one of those, the surgeon WILL NOT TOUCH, any of the blocked arteries in my legs. Way too much risk of stroke they say.
In total, from just above my belly button down to my ankles, I have EIGHT blocked arteries.
Both Femoral arteries are 100% blocked at mid thigh.
What they want to do is go in at the creases in my legs at the abdomen, go up where the Aorta splits in two and eventually turns into the Femoral’s, and clean all that out. There are multiple blockages there and the hope is that by opening that area up, more blood will be able to magically find it’s way into my legs.
Whatever, just do something for crying out loud.
I can barely walk 100 feet at one shot before having to sit down.
It gets shorter and shorter after that.
So anyway’s this is already way too long but there is a brief glimpse into what’s been going on with me.
