The American Spirit Is Alive

I saw this guy pulling out of my neighborhood this morning on the way to work and I waved him to a stop in the middle of the road so I could take a picture.

I told him I was going to make him famous and gave him the name of the blog.

We shall see if he can find it.

I love this little unit .

It looks like it is literally being held together by BFYTW.

He’s got a good start on it.

He must have been working on it since last year because I had never seen it before.

Good Onya Dude.

I was going to send it to CederQ for his Trucks posts but couldn’t wait.

It’s Been A Long Week

They had their Big Money Maker break down Sunday night.

First thing Monday morning it was assholes and elbows and it’s been that way ever since.

I just walked in the door after 11 hours and I am seriously fucking whooped.

My legs, feet and back are all killing me.

They were starting it up to run after we tested it when I left.

Of course now tomorrow, we have to try and catch up on all the other bullshit that fucked up, the usual maintenance shit.

We’ll be playing catch up until mid week easy, IF, this fucker don’t break down again.

That’s why I haven’t been posting much.

Anyways, hit the Blogroll for some entertainment and we shall see how I feel tomorrow night.

Thanks for stopping by, CederQ and I both appreciate y’all very much.

20th Anniversary of Marvin Heemeyer’s epic drive through Granby, Colorado. June 4th 2004 with his 85 ton armored Komatsu Bulldozer.

Since I’m not a metalhead, I wasn’t aware of the “sludge” variant.

Self Cancelling Stupidity

Free Palestine Protesters blocking Philly Pride Parade

I don’t know if it’s just me but I think that there are WAY TOO MANY people in this country who don’t seem to have to spend most of their time having to work, pay bills, take care of personal business and put food on the table.

Instead they have plenty of time and money to find ways to interfere with those of us who do.

They are the very definition of Useless Eaters.
