Who was I trying to kid, off-loading that fridge myself? This morning it was aches and pains in the same order I moved that thing, worst being having to grip the corners. Now all my bass fingers hurt and that ain’t right. I’m going downtown to buy a tarp and some rope, but call it a day, after, of course, breakfast. Since I’ve been thinking about Texas, it’s fried butter sandwiches, this time with chopped chicken and refried beans.
For several months now (since JeePee passed away), I’ve been looking to locate two individuals to update my will. I’ve discovered that most places do this form of work will no longer take phone calls or accept e-mails unless they have your life history on file before they will even say if they will help or not. This is incompatible with my system. They want your ID on file even if you never use them.
Another factor, and you have to dig this info out of the bastards, is that these agencies will, if asked, tell the person you are seeking that you were looking for them. And that’s whether or not you hire the agency. The answer, of course, is to not give the agency your information in the first place. I have someone working on that. A person who is a fan of “Tragically Hip” and cannot believe I’ve never heard their music. I’m not a fan of slow music in general and I find that band is tragically repetitious. I quit playing songs consisting entirely of clichés back in my twenties.
It’s my muscles that are sore, not my brain. So I dug out that old NOR gate I built from scratch, here it is, date 2014. Oddly, I did not draw the schematic on the back. This circuit would not work no-how. Today, I believe I found the answer. It is what I said after the first six months of studying electronics. The real experts don’t tell you anything, the fake experts are all over the Internet. Usually the problem is these people leave out something so important that their advice amounts to lying. In this case, the circuit acts differently depending on whether the input signals (set and reset) share a common ground with the memory gates. Argh. Chances are I will just rebuild the whole circuit.
Did I post the old saying about deportations? It goes like, “I’m not saying deporting all the [insert group here] will solve all our problems. I’m saying there is only one way to find out.”
And now this. A $67 million fighter jet falls off the deck of a US aircraft carrier as it veers out of the path of a missile. The US, using billion-dollar technology to fight primitive Asians living in caves and tunnels. What could go wrong? As gas prices drop to $2.67 per gallon, Demodrat states are increasing their gas tax to hike up and are blaming Trump. But the Internet is exposing this age-old trick in real time. The Democrats are also complaining their arrested judge had to spend “hours” in jail before being arraigned. No mention they left the J6 people like that for years.
One more thing, the Canadian equivalent of the US Supreme Court has ruled that Alberta (and thus any province) can secede whenever they want. How odd, that it comes at a time when there is talk of joining the US. Financially, it makes sense for Alberta. Lower taxes, better market access, and more personal freedoms. That is important as Eastern Canada kind milks the west for tax dollars and has done so as long as can be remembered. Also, free trade is mostly talk, the fact is America has been propping Canada up since the NAFTA deal. If Trump tariffs end that imbalance, the entire Canadian west is better off separating. We shall see.
Here’s an interesting stat. Your chances of living to be 80 years old are one in five. Unless you are a Holocaust survivor. Then your chances become four in five.

My energy was expended finding the biggest tarp I have only covers the top half of the fridge. I did a rush job, knowing there’s a storm in the air. Stopping at Harbor Freight for some rope, I found the dandiest little tool box. Very well made with ball bearing trays powder coat finish. Magnetic locks on the drawers and a solid, heavy feel to it. I’m impressed. This thing is like jewel box.
JZ says nothing has changed since he let her move it, I know he had hopes. I didn’t. He was thinking because he provides a stable environment, that would allow her to stop all the day-in-day-out crap that goes on. He was dead wrong again, he says she basically took over the place and has him walking on eggs. She watches soaps all day lazing in bed, same as ever. I cannot imagine the past eight months Here is what changed this week. She had to go to Texas for some emergency with her daughter or something, the first time she’s been out of the house since August.
Of course, nothing will change but he now knows for sure living with her is out. No, he has never really had her there more than a few weeks at a time, usually between evictions. JZ has heart and blood pressure symptoms and he reports landing in the hospital three times since August. She also has a small dog, which she left with him. He has two options before she returns, first is the standing offer to say at his brother’s. This has never been a real solution in 25 years, but he’s super lucky that way. He has family.

If you can see the tiny speck in the lower middle of this photo, that’s the Mars Curiosity rover. This photo is from an orbiting satellite. Extending to the upper right of the picture is the rover tracks. All I got to say is that this photo is 40 years late. And add another fake concern to the climate change hoax. They are not saying we have “ocean current shutdown”. Here are my favorite replies to the question that if you won the lottery, what would you tell people you do for a living?

Nearest landfall is again the Cape Verde Islands. The southwestern-most is called Brava Island. Known as the “Green Gem”, it was the summer residence of Portuguese kings. Population around 5,700, most agricultural. What a tough way to make a living. The terrain is terrifically mountainous. Africa bills it their most unique country but there is no evidence of anyone being there before the Portuguese arrived in 1620. One look or listen tells you the place was never African.
The one city, Nova Sintra, is named after the summer residence of Portuguese kings. But no kings ever lived there, it never being all that wise to locate on an island 1,900 miles away from the people you tax.
