I try to keep the blogroll updated, but keep running into things that should be here except I didn’t know about them. If you have an active blog that ought to be on the TUAK sidebar, please let me know … Continue reading →

…who reminded me that the blousing ribbons on those old BDU trous aren’t just for tripping over. I’m pretty sure we don’t have real fire ants here, but these were going for the title. Hurt like bad spider bites for … Continue reading →

I may have emoted somewhat. There was nobody around to hear, so it’s just between you and me. I had planned to spend this morning’s time at the site moving a few specific large/heavy things, just to get that out … Continue reading →

Dear Congress, Let's get this done. Thanks, The vast majority of Americans pic.twitter.com/23ND36tFFm — Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) May 20, 2016 Numerous people had fun with this yesterday. Though it seems perfectly consistent to me. Hillary doesn’t consider gun owners “Americans.” … Continue reading →

I’d just like to add my voice to the chorus and opine that the new Star Wars flick is a delightfully dumb movie. I know one doesn’t look for logic or consistency from SW, but at times this one plays … Continue reading →

Ah, the good old days… First lady Michelle Obama announced changes to food labels Friday that will require companies to show added sugar and will change serving sizes to reflect how much Americans really eat. The White House and the … Continue reading →

It’s gonna be a busy day, and anyway it seems today the blog is the only page Wildblue will let me open so I’m kind of stuck for morning blogfodder. So here’s a hint for keeping your life on track: … Continue reading →

Oh, dear. I’ve got a new paying gig. And as happens so often when I get involved in things like this, I’m wondering if I bit off (Cliché filter). Remember those fine folks I mentioned before, who moved away and … Continue reading →

Naw. More like Barack Obama, really incompetent totalitarian. But still, you could kind of make the case. If he were trying to spread gun rights in the face of leftist opposition, what would he do differently? Got to thinking about … Continue reading →

Now I have grown old, and it’s still kind of funny… San Francisco’s last gun shop will become pot shop Oh, grow a sense of humor. Have you been to Frisco in the past…I dunno, decades? They took the prettiest … Continue reading →

Guh, what a miserable day. Dark gray sky, on-and-off rain, about half the squalls come with lightning. I’m bored, the boys are bored, nearly June and it’s in the forties. Sucks. I’m going to post this and unplug the ‘pooter … Continue reading →

S’getting pretty bad when you can’t even hate on a pack of feral dogs. Yeah, the past couple of months the terror du jour has been a pack of dogs from the other side of the plateau that appeared from … Continue reading →

Some days… I give up. The good news is that my current download-limited woes have prevented a discussion of something Charles Schumer did. So maybe, I dunno, it’s a good thing…

Just out of the goodness of their hearts, too. So today I spent most of it on: 7 gallons of propane 16 gallons of drinking water 10 gallons of distilled water (actually this was paid for separately) 15 gallons of … Continue reading →
