Michael Reid:
I am glad to hear you can still party! That is one of the things I can not really do anymore. I need good light and quiet to converse these days.
Just curious. In the past, I have often wanted to talk to someone off the grid about their experiences. Your electrical background is a nice asset to have when dealing with an off the grid power system.
About 20 years ago I considered whether I could take my cottage off the grid or not. At the time solar panels in Canada were still too expensive, like maybe $8 to $10 per watt. Today it is maybe about $2 to $3 a watt for solar panels. Then there was the issue of storage batteries. Since we don’t use the cottage during the winter, I would have had to remove the heavy batteries and store them inside the house on trickle charge to keep them from freezing and being damaged. Also with a wife and 2 young kids who were not into using less energy, I dropped the idea. It was probably the right decision. Now I am too old to reconsider the idea.
Are you off the grid because you are too remote?
Or is it just a personal choice?
Do you adjust the angle of the solar panels between winter and summer seasons?
How many batteries are you using?
Any idea how long these batteries last or may last?
Any idea of what your capital costs are per year to keep your power system operating plus replace any failing batteries?
Any critter issues?I think it costs me about $800 or more for hydro for the cottage each year. I should probably check again since they are always jacking up the costs every year!
I am sure there were some unexpected maintenance issues that have popped up from time to time. You mentioned cutting back busher/branches around the solar panels, probably not a big issue.
That Pastor sure gave the 6 police quite a sermon! Nice strong clear words too!
At all times he remained in full control of the situation.
I especially liked that he knew better than to try and engaged in a conversation with these idiots, otherwise they would have dragged the Pastor down to their idiot level and then beat him with experience!
It looks like if you are a Facebook user, your data has been hacked and released on the internet.
This data leak includes everything about you that facebook had on you.
Name, email, phone, address, age, etc. – “everything” including your Facebook rating/classification!
It is possible this hack was done for US domestic political reasons.
So far I have seen no msm coverage of this massive 600+ million leak.Michael Reid:
I posted a Newfie story late April 2nd for you and anybody else looking for a good chuckle!
Third last comment on page 3 – comment # 89.Do you live off the grid? Or are solar panels just a backup system?
V. Arnold gets the credit for comment # 91 TAE’s record breaker!
my parents said know:
I am jealous of your boat launching timeline! I have to wait at least another month to launch an expedition to the island cottage!
V. Arnold:
LOL! I knew you wouldn’t touch the stuff! Your Dad taught you well!
My Father’s older brother was a doctor. Same story! He hated drug company sales reps wasting his time. Took their samples and gave the good ones to his patients or the free clinic. Threw the rest out!
That brings up another childhood memory! Oh no, not another story! Yes!
When I was 6 or 7 or so, I stumbled upon a cardboard box full of old school books my Dad had kept. I opened the box out of curiosity. I quickly determined that they were my Father’s old high school books! Further I discovered that neatly at the top of the first page of each book were the final grade marks for my Father, his older brother the doctor, and their younger twin sisters.
The marks were all very high. But there seemed to be a slight problem with them! The first book i looked at, showed that my Father had gotten a higher mark than his older brother, the doctor! I said to myself this can’t be right, because everybody knows doctors are the smartest people in the world!
So I opened a second book! Nope my Father still had a higher mark than his older brother! In disbelief, I opened every book in the box! Not once had my uncle, the doctor, beaten my Father! This was impossible for me to believe! It just couldn’t be!
The twin sisters alway brought up the rear. I mean their marks were a tiny bit lower but still in the nineties! Nobody got anything in the high eighties!
Greatly perplexed, I asked my Father, when he got home from work, how this could possibly be true? Why was my Father only an lowly engineer, not a doctor?
A bit of background on my Father’s family. They lived in Saskatchewan during the depression. My Grandfather was studying to become an architect when the depression hit. Nobody was building anything, so to support his family he ended up working as a bank teller.
Growing up poor, my Father’s parents strongly impressed onto their 4 children that the only way to escape living in Saskatchewan was to get good grades in school. My uncle was told he was to become a doctor, my Father an engineer, the twin sisters, nurse and teacher. This all happened!
In answer to my questions about my Father’s having consistently higher marks, than his brother, the doctor, my Father told me about how this has all been decided for them by their parents, when they were growing up. They all knew what they were going to be when they grew up!
Then my Father said to me, thank God his parents had choosen his older brother to be the doctor, not him! I was kind of stunned by this answer! Then my Father said, no, really his older brother was really the smarter one. It was just that he was too busy chasing the girls to study, while my Father spent his time studying! And besides the fact, his older brother was a people person, the right trait needed to be a doctor! Dad really preferred dealing with technical issues, not people problems! His parents had really made the correct choice!
I think that was when I first figured out that there were different kinds of smart!
Later in my life I realized that extroverted people gain energy while around other people! These people, after dealing with people all day, are charged up and ready to party all night!
Interverted people, like me, tend to lose energy if we have to deal with people all day long. We just want to go home, rest, and recharge our batteries for tomorrow. Going to a party, full of people, is the last thing we want to do!Michael Reid:
You will probably get a chuckle out of this story!
In his younger days, my brother was working as a shovel maintenance supervisor for IOC in Labrador City. He had a dedicated shovel work crew. Electrican, mechanics, welders, etc. Well as you probably know, the electrician was the smartest of the bunch. (Must be some required to understand electrons or something!)
Well to spice things up a bit, the electrician would, from time to time, after the crew had forgotten the last rumor, would innocently start a new rumor.
Newfies are big Toronto Maple Leafs fans. This story happened sometime after Harold Ballard had traded Daryl Sittler(?) to Buffalo. Anyway, to be sure Harold Ballard was hated with a passion in Newfie land!
During a heated crew discussion about the Leafs, the electrician casually let it slip that my brother was Harold Ballard’s nephew! That day my brother immediately felt the wraugh of his crew. They all became cold and distanced toward him!
This cold shoulder treatment went on for several weeks! My brother knew something was up but he did not know exactly what was the trouble!
Then one day, when a shovel was down, my brother boarded the shovel, while the entire crew were eating their lunch in the operator’s cab. One crew member finally got brave enough and asked my brother if he really was Harold Ballard’s nephew?
My brother is extremely quick on his feet! He put 2 + 2 together = electrician!
Without missing a beat, h9e replied why, yes he was Harold Ballard’s newphew!
Of course he mmediately got an earful! How could Harold Ballard do this to the Toronto Maple Leafs? Trade their captain and best player to Buffalo! My brother played his role perfectly! His crew were properly outraged!
My brother eyed the electrician sitting quietly over in the corner, smiling to himself! This was turning out to be his very best rumor ever! Thanks to my brother’s help, he had once again, completely pulled the wool over the eyes of the rest of his coworkers!
With a very satisfied grin, the electrician let the crew know. No, my brother wasn’t really Harold Ballard’s nephew! He had just made it up!
My brother was immediately rehabilited by his crew who were besides themselves for yet falling for another one of the electrician’s rumors!
Zerosum:
No “yellow kitchen with day bed” memories during my childhood!
I guess I was deprived of such memories!
Maybe I just didn’t chose my parents carefully enought!
V. Arnold:
You need to take more Viagra! It is supposed to be good for you!
Unfortunately, I can’t take Viagra because it is “contra indicated” for anyone with Ushers Syndrome (combines RP with hearing loss – the eye and ear light and sound nerve cells are identical) like me! Not really sure why though.
Hey, you won’t believe this exciting news!
The drug companies have issued findings from a Swedish study showing that older men who take Viagra frequently, live longer!
Duh! Right!
Maybe men who have sex more frequently are likely getting more healthy exercise chasing their women around the bedroom? It is hard exhausting work trying to keep the women folk happy and content!
I don’t suppose it has anything to do with “enlarging” drug company profits?
Did you know you now can only “like” joe’s videos on all the big tech sites?
Yeah, you know the thumbs up icon if you like it!
9
The thumb ‘s down icon, if you don’t like joe, the most popular President “ever” shows no number beside it!
So, now you can’t “cancel” poor joe even if you want to!
Disliking joe is considered a “hate” crime now!I see the democrat controlled Phoenix, Arizona County election board has denied the Arizona senate access to their election ballets and especially to their vote counting machines, despite state court approval!
I am wondering what the Phoenix election board has to hide, if the official election results are on the up and up? Besides, what does it matter, the election is over! Everyone knows the most popular president ever, won!
I mean what is wrong with not allowing these ballots to be run through the vote counting machines, a second time? What could possibly go wrong?
Nothing! A corrupt democratic judge will accidently get stuck in the voting machine invalidating the recount!
I am rather amused that the main stream media are having a lot of trouble making their “white supremacy” narrative stories attacking the capital guarded by all those troops, stick these days!
Today some poor sumuck, down on his luck, rammed his vehicle into a police road barricade in Washington DC. Headlines “Terrorists attacks Capital!” Umm not quite! An African American and oh my God, a Muslim to boot. The poor sucker brought a knife to a gun fight! (We know how that ended!) We the press will all just skip those unimportant irrelevant minor details and push the narrative anyway!
Asian women viciously attacked by “white supremist”. Umm not quite! Sorry wrong color and recently paroled convict, so we will just sort of quietly drop that story and hope nobody notices!
White supremacy terrorist mass shoots a whole bunch of people! Umm not quite! Yeah lots of dead people but the narrative won’t work because uh well muslim so we will just not report that part!
I see President Trump has now been totally banned from Facebook and the other big techs!
You can’t post anything about President Trump!
None of his speeches, his answers to press questions, no written words, absolutely nothing about him even if second hand stuff!
President Trump has been totally cancelled!
I guess they are still afraid of him!
Michael Reid:
Well we definately share a common interest!
A love of fresh bread!Your kitchen queen wood stove reminds me of the many such wood stoves I encountered as a youth.
My Grandmother on my Mom’s side had a big kitchen wood stove which she used to cook meals on.
I can remember using an axe to cut splinters for starting the wood stove fire plus getting cut dried wood from the woodshed just off the kitchen. There was an axe and a wood stump for splitting dried firewood on the floor.
(My Father, told me, when he was courting my Mom, had to split wood in there, to prove himself worthy!) You know the traditional farm test of the day!Grandpa would cut trees in the winter from the farms wood lot and then cut them up with a big saw blade attached to various farm equipment. Then the cut wood was left out in the sun to dry before being put in a wood storage shed. I think it was a 2 year cycle. From there the wood made it’s way to the farmhouse wood shed beside the kitchen. Naturally I loved getting firewood for Grandma!
My Grandmother would prepare a big hot lunch (basically supper) for all of my Grandfather’s hired farm workers (3 to 5). He had about 4 to 5 farms (over 600 acres).
My Grandfather once said to me he couldn’t pay his hired help anymore than anybody else but he sure could feed then better, thanks to Grandma! Meals were always 3 course plus desert plus pies. Everybody then took a brief nap afterwards! Naturally Mom was a great cook too! I think Mom got Dad through his tummy!The other neat thing about the wood stove was it’s exhaust pipe went up through the upstairs floor through a very fancy floor grate. In the morning we often would often look down through the grate on the floor to see what Grandma was doing! Also we could feel the hot air rising on chilly mornings!
Basically everything about life on the farm revolved around that kitchen wood stove!
Michael Reid:
I should have guessed you were a Newfie! An Islander too!
While born in Montreal, the mine was located in Schefferville, Quebec for political reasons. The mine’s railway yards and many mining pits were located in Labrador, about a mile from town!
My brother and sisters were born there, so they are almost Newfies!
I was probably conceived up there, so I am claiming honorary Newfie citizenship!
My brother worked in Labrador City as a shovel supervisor, so he can speak real Newfie!I took exactly what you took at DeVry! I have also worked with DerVry grads. After graduating I couldn’t find a job in Canada, so I ended up working for a mining equipment manufacturer in Milwaukee. I had one big strike against me. I was hard of hearing!
My Mother said after moving from friendly Schefferville down to Montreal, when I was 10, I changed quite a bit. She said I started to became much more interverted. Schooling became much more difficult for me. I went from a small class of maybe 12 or 15 to suddenly dealing with four grade 5 classes of 30 students! Of course the peer competition was much tougher!
My parents moved because they knew I needed to go to a better school if I was going to succeed in life. My Father gave up his career as chief engineer so the move wasn’t taken lightly. Also I suffer from severe allergies just to add to my troubles! The family’s health was also a big factor in moving to Montreal.
I can say in Montreal I never really developed any real close friends like I had up north. I knew lots of people. Going to Ryerson, I stayed in a student residence for the first year. This forced me to meet new people which was good for me. I got mono just before December in my first semester. I didn’t know what was wrong with me so I kept studying harder but continued to fail every course. I went back home to Montreal telling my parents I had completely wiped out! Then I got my marks in the mail after Xmas. I had passed everything reasonably well! I knew nothing about Bell curving of marks nor that everybody else in my class was also failing every test! The mono hit me so hard and lasted for so long that I wiped out my 2nd semester. This put me out of sync with my year. Being too stupid, I kept going until they kicked me out!
Here is the strange part. So I maybe know something about electrons, but the firm in Milwaukee required me to do mostly mechanical stuff! You know like heavy welding, gearboxes, heavy metal construction, etc. So I learned all that stuff by work experience! Now mining equipment has electric motors and controls but you only get to test that stuff after months and months of mechanical stuff! The company’s problem was if they hired a mechanical engineer then once the machine was built they would have to send out an electrical engineer to commission the machine. Since they still had to teach the mechanical engineers how to build their machines, it made sense to hire an electrical engineer and train him on the mechanical stuff! However as I found out many mechanical engineers knew plenty about electricity, Anyway I got hired! Oh, yes the only other question I got asked by 6 different supervisors was did I like to travel? I knew the correct a swear to that question! Yes! But of course I didn’t know because I had never travelled alone before in my entire life!
I remember one ex-navy (Peal Harbor- 1st ship out of harbor dec 7th!) supervisor said to me. “Do you know what you are getting into? Look when you go to the washroom the middle of the night, you are doing it company time! Do you understand! We own you 24/7! He wasn’t kidding either! If you ever said “No” you were fired!
The job paid poorly but it gave me 3 things I badly needed. Work experience, forced me to constantly meet new people (throw him into the water and see if he sinks or swims!) in new places, and build better self confidence.
Oh, yes I finally learned how to write a sentance! I had to do detailed weekly service reports for 8 years. God that alone nearly killed me! God really had it out for me! I failed English every year! My Father just kept saying you will make a good engineer! (Little did I know then that in my second/third career I would become a technical writer! Just God punishing me for not being able to write! I did figure out a picture/diagram/CAD drawing is worth a 1,000 words!)
Now in my old age I can’t seem to stop writing! Sorry if I have bent your ear!
But I also want to say relationships with women never came easy for me either! The number of women I have dated can be counted on one hand! At 40, I married a hard of hearing/deaf woman with learning disabilities. We had a hell of a time having children as she was over 35. So we have had our ups and downs for sure. Our son shares his Mom’s learning disabilities but my daughter is wired more like me.
Then about 50, I was diagnosed with Ushers Sydrome, meaning I am going both deaf and blind! Naturally they took my drivers license away from me! Now I am only allowed to drive grocery carts but even those days are numbered! It is only a matter of time before some woman beats the crap out of me, after I T-bone her grocery cart, thinking I deliberately did it! I have already had you know those dirty looks only women can give!
Michael Reid:
I suspect there were many people from Quebec here in Toronto after 1972. I was born in Montreal but only because there was no hospital in the mine up north.
After finishing high school in 1972, I had to leave Quebec because I couldn’t get into any schools in Quebec to continue my education because we were English. All my high school classmates left Quebec for the same reason. I don’t think it was a matter of poor marks. Our high school was very good. Everyone I know of that left, did very well.
Both my brother (UofT & UW) and sister (St. Lawrence & Ryerson) went to Ontario too. It was a sad time for us because growing up in Montreal was great. I sometimes say my family ended up leaving Quebec as economic refuges. Quebec loss while Ontario gained.
That is why the family cottage is in the 1000 islands, half way between Montreal and Toronto. Expo ’67 completed the 401 to Montreal. My Father could see the writing on the wall and correctly predicted what would happen. Later in 1973 he got transferred to Toronto in the head office exitus.
So we can’t call it the China virus. Maybe because Dr. Fauci was financing the Wuhan lab experiments in gain of function? Clearly the CCP has invisible puppet strings tied to Dr. Fauci.
The 1918 flu started in the US but the Spanish got blamed for it! It was called the Spanish Flu because Spain was the only country that wasn’t censoring their media! See how that worked!
Since both China and the US are censoring their media, a country called Covid was blamed! The science helped by giving it a number! Covid-19!
John Day:
I bet our powers-to-be are still cursing Bismark to this day for complicating their job by introducing old age retirement pensions at the early age of 65!
Bismark was no socialist but he must have been desperate enough to achieve his political goals that he was willing to restore peace with striking working class German workers by bribing them with a pension most of the workers would never live long enough to collect!
If you consider the Matt Gaetz story to be strange, please learn to recognize the following constant narrative pattern occurring.
The State Dept uses CNN
The FBI/DofJ use the New York Times 《============ @#$%&€£¥₩
The CIA use the Washington Post.So the DofJ leaks to the New York Times, that Matt Gaetz is being investigated.
Ask yourself why would the DofJ leak that they are investigating Matt Gaetz?
In a real criminal investigation there would be no leak as that would jeopardize the criminal investigation!
Clearly this is the DofJ driving a political narrative.
A drive by gutter smear hit! Trial by media!
Matt Gaetz is to be tried and convicted by the media court.
Matt Gaetz knows this.
Politics is after all a blood sport.Again when reading these types of stories, please take note of who is given the job of narrating the story. Then you know who is behind it.
Michael Reid:
Well you beat me to Toronto by a year!
Your experience mirrored mine too!
I arrived in Toronto at 18 to wonder the halls of Ryerson alone in 1972.
The only people I met at school were fellow students from outside of Toronto!
Toronto ain’t exactly a friendly city.
That is why I avoid going Toronto these days.
I know I am not welcome there. They have made that plain!Left T.O. after Ryerson, working as a service engineer for 8 years before returning to 905 area..
At 40, I finally met someone from T.O. whom I married!
Live in Caledon now, about an hour north of T.O.
Strangely my daughter is 2nd year business at Ryerson.I just can’t wait until it is time to go to my summer river island cottage, so I can watch the world go down the drain!
Madamski:
In a typical mine, an electric mining shovel will easily move over 5,000 tonnes of rock per hour! That is filling only thirty 175 ton trucks in one hour. A very leisurely pace. It usually only takes a shovel 60 seconds (2 buckets) to fill a truck.
A shovel could easily fill 50 trucks in an hour except there are often not enough trucks available to keep the shovel 100% busy.
Ideally there is a truck on one side of the shovel being loaded while a second truck is backing up into position on the other side of the shovel. Efficient mining is very much a just in time business!
Building a sand causeway is really not very hard! The sand dredgers can easily clear pure sand very quickly with their large slurry pumps.
In Alaska they used dredgers to mine rocky river beds for placer gold that could suck up 2 foot bolders and spit them out a 100 years ago!
To the best of my knowledge most of Canada’s vaccine supply, ordered by Trudeau, are in a shipping container named “Blame”, on a container ship stuck in the Suez Canal. Right now Justin is blaming the PM who replaced his father! Trudeau is playing the vaccine blame game so ineptly his reward will be to get re-elected!
If they don’t get the Ever Given unstuck tonight with a full moon, it will be because they forgot to bring a wolf to howl at the full moon. This falls under laws propagated by Dr. Murphy!
As one of those ex-mining arm chair quarterbacks, who knows n’thing about moving big things, so far they have wasted almost a week trying to undo Dr. Murphy’s splendid handy work on the Ever Given in the Suez Canal.
What is the one thing they have in unlimited quantities in Egypt? Why yes, sand!
So with that much available sand, you simply build an artifical lake around the stuck ship! You build 2 causeways with sand across the width of the canal, one on each side of the ship. Then you build up sand banks along the canal shoreline between the 2 causeways. Then you pump water into the artifical lake until the ship re-floats. Then you use the sand dredgers to remove the sand in the canal.
By now they could have already done this. Can’t be done hat quickly you say? It only took the Israelis 1 day, in the middle of a war, to build a causeway across the Suez Canal 50 years ago!
my parents said know:
You know of course that the only difference between boys and men, is in the size and the costs of their toys! Girls verses women also comes to mind!
My esteemed friend and constant life time companion, Dr. Murphy, is currently busy working in the southern Suez canal. After successfully selecting the worst possible time and place for the right sized ship to block the canal, he is currently working overtime to frustrate every effort to free the nicely stuck ship.
Dr. Murphy is a true optimist!
Tonight there is a full moon out so the rising tide might give them hope. However without a wolf howling at the moon, I think Dr. Murphy will see another successful application of his law!!
If they can’t unstuck the ship by digging, maybe they should start by building 2 sand causeway, one on each end of the ship to create an artifical lake. Then pump in water into the lake until the ship refloats. Then they can dredge away the previously built sand causeways. Naw they won’t, because it is too simple and low tech!
I have a sneaky suspicion Venezuela’s oil exports are being laundered by Russia before being imported by the US. P.S. Just don’t tell anyone!
The only herd immunity I see being built up these days are to; the virus, lockdowns, masks, Dr. Fasci, the CDC, the WHO, corruption, censoring, being canceled, wokeism, BLM, google, facebook, twitter, the Fed, etc.
The city of Ottawa is asking seniors to help them out by signing up for the jab as they currently have over 38,000 open unbooked appointments available! Some of Ottawa’s seniors must read TAE!
The joe & kamala puppet show
Is it just my imagination that kamala is trying to bump poor joe out of the white house?
Yesterday joe’s meds started to wear off about half way through his presser.
Obviously kamala only gave joe enough meds to last for half an hour!
With all the political kaos, there just has to be a fight going on behind the curtains!
Could the fight be over the timing?
joe ain’t called slow for n’thing!
Heels Up kamala is in a hurry!
So we will popular puppet joe get replaced by unpopular puppet kamala?
Stay tune to the next exciting episode of joe & kamala!V. Arnold:
The so called journalists work for the rich folks who own the government!
And Americans are not as stupid as the so called journalists think they are!
joe & kamala:
joe orders chair lift for ramp to Air Force One.
kamala cancels order for chair lift as waste of tax payer money!
joe puts kamala in charge of southern border.
kamala refuses to go to southern border and stays in Washington!
joe says he is running in 2024 election.
kamala is with-holding joe’s meds!Clearly kamala is in a hurry but slow joe isn’t!
joe held a question and answer press conference today.
All media questions were submitted beforehand to the press secretary.
The media eagerly compiled.
Only certain questions were approved with unapproved questions not allowed to be asked.
joe had a cheat sheet with pre-written answers to the approved questions allowed to be asked.
The media only asked the approved questions.Americans are being played as being totally stupid!
The State Dept uses CNN
The FBI/DofJ use New York Times
The CIA uses the Washington Post.The DofJ prosecutors are giving interviews about their planned prosecutions of the horrible Jan 6th Capital Hill riot.
They are certainly busy extending their narrative of “white terrorists” attacking the Capital for as long as possible.
However all this narrative talking to the media would seem to be working to undermine any chances of successfully prosecuting any rioters.
But as some have pointed out, it isn’t justice the DofJ is seeking but rather it is about subjecting it’s choosen victims to the long and crushing “political justice process” that they seek.Ask totally innocent General Fynn about being tried by a kangaroo court judge while being dragged through the mud for political ends on trumped up fake charges. I don’t think you would like the treatment one bit.
After kamala canceled installing a chair lift on the ramp to Air Force One yesterday, as a waste of taxpayer money, today joe has retaliated by putting kamala in charge of the southern border claiming this problem started under Trump. Apparently 42 million South Americans want to come to the US. This should tie up kamala welcoming them for quite some length of time!
I wonder how long a line of 42 million people would be. I could easily answer my own question but a too lazy to exercise my brain’s math circuits!
Dr. CD. has much in common with Mr. Murphy!
Contrary to popular opinion, Murphy was an optimist!
Murphy knew his law worked!
Just ask the Suez Canal!HR1 is just congress legalizing their new methods for stealing federal elections.
Of course state rights need to be abolished to make Congress’s laws work!Being male, the closest thing to “heaven on earth” that I know of, is being inside my Wife!
I am waiting for England to declare vaccinations mandatory for all health care workers. I firmly believe the government is that stupid!
I see the birth rate has dropped between 9% to 15% in the past year or so in most developed countries. Who could have guessed uncertain women don’t want to produce babies? Maybe more negative interest rates would motivate women to have more babies? After all central bankers can solve every problem by printing more money!
I see joe is eliminating good paying union coal power plant jobs while supporting non-union green energy jobs! Just more payback by joe for unions supporting him! joe also sent Ford’s $1 billion in promised Ohio EV manufactoring and assembly jobs to Mexico too! More union payback! You just got to love how joe rewards his union buddies! Just joe building back America better!
joe is trying to get a chair lifter installed on the ramp to Air Force One. However kuamala keeps canceling the contract as a waste of money! Can’t be long now until the new boss, heels up, replaces the old boss!
Ever notice kamala’s inappropiately timed nervous laughter whenever she is lying in response to a question? No wonder no one gives her any credibility! She ever gives a honest answer!
Yeah, that guy in Boulder who accidentally shot 10 won’t be in the news anymore because he doesn’t fit the FBI’s “white terrorist” narrative. By the way the FBI knew all about the guy before the shooting. Just like the FBI knew before hand all of the previous mass shooters. There is no pattern here. If you see anything, Mark Twain will shoot you!
Madamski & John Day:
Thanks for the Johnny Cash “Everywhere” song link!
I had not heard of this song before.I listened to Johnny Cash’s “Everywhere” song with great interest as for sure Johnny travelled a lot!
However I couldn’t believe my eyes when one of the places mentioned in the song was my old home town, Schefferville, in northern Quebec! The place where I spent the first 10 years of my life!
Schefferville is where you go to go speckle trout fishing! Nowhere do I know of has trout fishing like Schefferville! We wouldn’t keep anything under 2 pounds! Six pounders were possible! What makes catching these fish so exciting is you are fishing in very fast flowing rivers where the fish can fight you by angling away from you into the river’s strong currents. Then of course they jump to shake the hook!
The one thing that is strange about speckled trout fishing is that they run hot and cold. They bite nearly every second cast for an hour or so, then suddenly they all stop bitting, as if on cue. Then you can fish for 2 hours without a single bite! Yes, the water is extremely cold! Yes, the black flies and mosquitos call this place home!
Here is something you should know. To breed, black flies need cold running water! Mosquitos need stagnant water, to breed. Schefferville has more of both than anywhere I know of!
If you are flying around in a float plane, and if you should go down, you have almost a 50% chance of hitting water! Also there is a military DEW radar station there too. Since the iron ore mine closed, only a few Naskapi and Montagnais natives still live there.
The other strange thing is the northern borders between Quebec and Labrador. The border simply follows the height of land. All waters that flowing into the Atlantic Ocean belong to Labrador. All waters that flow into the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Hudson Bay, or Artic Ocean belong to Quebec. This was a result of the wording of a treaty signed hundreds of years ago before anybody knew what the place looked like!
Another place mentioned in the song is Winslow, Arizona!
This place was made famous by the Eagles in their song “Taking it Easy”!
They sure captured the “essence” of the town of Winslow!
I am sure John Day would have passed through Winslow if he was heading to Flagstaff in the day!Some of the Eagle song’s lyrics:
Well I’m standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It’s a girl, my lord, in a flat bed Ford
Slowing down to take a look at meMaybe both John and I, left our hearts standing on that corner wondering about that flat bed Ford!
Madamski
I worked for a year in Singleton, in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, about an hours drive inland from New Castle, and a couple hours drive north of Sydney, Australia.
The first hotel that I stayed at was in town right beside the river that ran parallel to the main street. What was interesting was that the town had built up earthworks about 25 feet high all along the river bank. There were white markers along the inside facing the river, indicating each year’s high water marks for any exceptional high water level years.
While I was there the so called river more resembled a small creek that a small child could get their ankles wet in. In other words calling it a creek insults any self respecting creek!
The problem is the land suffers droughts that makes the earth surface rock hard like pottery unable to soak up a sudden heavy rain shower. So when it rains, the water quickly flows into all the low points creating flash floods everywhere.
When I worked in the Congo I experienced their rainy season. Again the hot sun baked the earth so hard that rain water quickly created flash floods because it couldn’t easily soak into the ground.
There was a small office bungalow beside where I was building a mining machine. Just before 10 AM and 2 PM, like clockwork, all the office’s outside doors were opened and held open with rocks. Then the same office’s inside doors facing into the central hallway received the same treatment. All the offices on the other side of the hallway had their 2 doors similarly opened.
Then we all gathered in one of the offices, sat in chairs with our feet up on the desk and read a magazine. Then right on time, the heavens would open up and then it would rain cats and dogs for 10 to 20 minutes.
The amazing part of this ritual was as the rains started, ⁷the muddy water would enter the office from the other offices across the central hallway and flow into our office. Slowly at first but then suddenly the muddy water would rise to about 10 inches high until we had a river flowing in and out of the office!
Then as suddenly as the rain came it would stop and the sun would come out and quickly dry the earth and we would go back to work as if nothing had happened!
You can imagine what it was like for me on my first day at work there! They motioned to me to come into the office, then motioned to me to grab a magazine, sit in a chair, and then put my boots up on top of the desk! Everybody else did the same! Everybody was non-plus busy reading! Nobody explained anything of what was about to happen!
I am like what the hell is going on here! Why is everybody just sitting there so relaxed? Well my eyes grew plenty wide as events quickly unfolded before my very eyes! What really got me was how uninterested everybody else was about all this muddy water flowing through the office! I couldn’t quite believed this could be happening!
Anyways, after the muddy waters stopped flowing, the janitors came in with rubber floor scrapers, quickly removing any residual mud and water, just like a window washer cleans windows. Man they were good and fast! Of course they got lots of practice!
Imagine any woman holding “Hillary” up as her “hero”. Hillary who’s father replaced Al Capone as Chicago crime family head. Great choice!
Why would one be surprised that after Obama took over the IRS in 2012, that rich people are no longer being auditied? Only conservatives get audited these days. That ia why all the rich are now democrats!
It should come as no surprise that the FBI (Obama) are investigating Cuomo. They want to get rid of him. Seven women and 15 000 dead seniors didn’t do the trick. Ogling pretty female reportors didn’t work either! The FBI is the police force used to carry out crimes the powers-to-be want done. We are watching a crime in progress!
US law trumps all international laws. So why shouldn’t Russian laws? Not the same.
So Chicago worried about air ventilation to beat the Spanish flu. Hospitals put patients outside in tents in the sun. We are so much smarter 8today aren’t we?
The bottom line with joe is he is viewed by many around the world as an illegitimate president.
So why should they take him seriously. We don’t! That is why he is weak.
Strong people don’t have to say they are strong. Everybody already knows.
If you have to say you are strong, then you are weak!
joe is weak of mind and body.
That is why I don’t bother to capitalize joe’s name.
