So, go ahead, have an open post. I’m currently rolling out and cutting fettuccine, so this is what you get.
Have fun!

I've got an idea! How about we just stick to the Constitution as written and then the government can leave me the fuck alone.
Eyes the lack of comments suspiciously.
I am, in fact, working because my boss is a bitch.
I thought you worked for yourself… oh.
Damn.

Better than Brochettaward….
I got some more spare mags in the mail today. I also got some dried scorpion peppers.
Shout outs to pepperjoes.com and gunmagwarehouse.com
I love Pepper Joe! (OK, back to the pasta….)
Can’t have enough magazines. What are these for?
92x compact (buy one!), scorpion, and ar.
I’m more of a big bore guy. 45 or 10mm Auto.
The only 9X19mm’s that have tempted me (for carry) are either the HK P7 or the CZ P-07. The Walther PPQ would be good too but I already have one in 45 ACP.
P7, P7M8, PPQ, 10MM, and multiple .45s around…
Just let me know if you are in the area.
(BIG-GRIN) I definitely will.
Which scorpion variant do you have?

No mags, but Springfield shipped my scope mount today. I will be here tomorrow. I can hardly wait.
I forgot, that is coming with a mag too.
How did your apple trees do, late frost and all?
My baby trees grew, look good, a few more years to go. Crab apple trees are in serious decline, sap sucker damage over the years. A few apples on one though.
I have two apple trees with two apple trees each.
I have one pear tree with 8 or 10 pears.
The trees are growing like weeds. I have pruned them twice in the last month.
The frost must have been severe, huh? Sorry to hear that.
Gunmagwarehouse FTW!
Ok, two votes in favor then. Too bad they’re now out of my magazines.
Well, I…..didn’t get the grill that was supposed to arrive today, and is showing delivery on Thursday (Fuck you very much Newgistics, and, ebay, for propping up Newgistics).
Nor have I received my The Tasteless Gentlemen shirts I ordered almost a month ago. And, no COVID bullshit, as I’ve ordered from them during this ‘demic without issue. Plus, they won’t respond to my inquiries about said order.
In fact, it has been textiles from China that have gotten to me lightening quick in the last month. Someone must be working at gunpo-….Oh, right.
/this is all on top of the shit-show that was my Monday.
You want to talk about it?
Yeah, but, I like being here better. It’s all little shi-…stuff, that added up.

What time is dinner?
8PM?
Supper’s ready.

Delightfully obscure! I know it, you know it but almost everyone on the planet is unaware.
Well, generally around 1930, local time. (I get too hungry for dinner at 8.)
I got a Cub Cadet delivered today, took 3 hours to get it out of the crate. The delivery guy left it at the end of the driveway. Had a helluva time to get it started, finally had to read the directions and that worked. Maybe read more tomorrow and get busy cutting grass.
is it one of the ones where you have to advance the throttle uncomfortably far past 100% to engage the choke?
/i miss my cub cadet
I’ll have to read the instructions, no visible hand choke on it. I have an old timer that chokes as you described.
Old Hans E******** rolled the summer camp’s Cub Cadet down the bluff and into the lake one summer. We pulled it out, drained all the water out, put fresh gas in, and made him mow the flat athletic field instead. Cub’s are great.
Lucky for me the lake is far enough away that that won’t be a problem. I’ll just get it stuck somewhere on a stump.
Old Cubs are great.
New ones aren’t all that.
In the 90s I had one with a Koehler gas engine. Simply refused to not run. Probably 20 years old when I got it, maybe more. Paid $250 for it.

The relationship between the severity of lockdowns and deaths from COVID-19. In a chart. The severity of lockdowns is estimated using Oxford University’s government stringency index.
So, no correlation.
That’s aggressive lack of correlation. That said, it really does need a multi-variate analysis, particularly with population density, weather and demographic info.
I want to see the correlation with one question: “How many people live in your household?”
Alright. Open post, so I hope/figure this isn’t too spammy, since I published it here first.
With wonderful assistance from our very own Ms. Mojeaux, I published the anthrax series as a book, rather than serialized. I rather like Moj’s editorial calls on the footnote convention, and I think she may have been right about adding brackets on the cover, NONETHELESS…!
Ozy’s anthrax book in Kindle (also available in print form from Amazon) – and other formats on smashwords.
Big thanks to TPTB for allowing my own personal Festivus (i.e. airing of the grievances!) here first in serialized form.
Congratulations!
That’s awesome!
Very nice. Will be gifted.
Congrats man! I enjoyed the posts here, I’ll check it out in Kindle form.
purchased.
I got my copy.
The U.S. government deliberately and remorselessly violates the Constitutional rights of the very people sworn to protect that founding document.
Mic drop description, Ozy. Bravo.
I wish I could take credit for that line, straff, but that was all Ms. Mojo.
(You’ll be shocked to hear I was struggling to get down from 350 word summary, then she took a hatchet to the whole thing and out came that back cover blurb. I think I moved a couple of words, but she deserves the credit.)
So you’re saying the lawyer-version was wordy?
I know you’re shocked by this.
I need to retire to my fainting couch.
Good to hear some good news on occasion, may it be Times Best Seller. Did you title it “Trump Stinks” so the Times would be pushing it?
I enjoyed the expose, So much of that sort of thing happening and no accountability.
Awww, man! Mojo was right – we definitely need better marketing skillz… like you, 4×20!
When I wrote it originally, I was pretty invested in it becoming widely read. Oddly enough, I don’t care at all now.
I just needed to record the events and put it in the public domain. I feel like a burden’s been lifted, more than anything else.
Sometimes all you need is a link to be able to point to. “Wanna know what I think? Go here.”
I use Ozy’s anthrax story whenever some idiot starts spouting off about how people should be required by the government to get the COVID vaccine when it’s available.
? Now I have to charge my kindle. Hell, I have to find my kindle. Where is that thing?
What’s a kindle?
Well, when a daddy Kind and a mommy Kind love each other very much….
It’s what he calls his German orphan.
Of course I was. But we can fix that, yanno.
If you allow me to pick nits, I’ll never stop, so Ima just live with it as it is.
But thank you.
Is there a delay in the print listing? I’m only seeing the Kindle version.
And congratulations! Even if reading the series here was a sickening experience and yet personally cathartic.
Yes, there is, Gustave. The paperback version is currently “under review” because they wanted my ISBN registry name to match the name on the cover art – i.e. I forgot my middle initial. So, I fixed that and hopefully now it’s all good.
Hurrah! Got mine!
Congratulations Ozy. I hope it’s a huge success.
Thanks, Chafed. I don’t know what I would even use as a metric, but I’m proud of it, regardless of how many copies it sells.
Success would be when Donny Two Scoops holds it up and say that this is why the CCPV vaccine can’t be mandatory.
That’s……not bad, actually.
$3.49 feels like an odd price point. How did you pick that one?
That was meant as a reply to Ozy.

I was mildly curious to see Tom Brady play for Tampa Bay. But I guess he has to make it to the Super Bowl first.
The phrase social justice infuriates me. The idea of justice as a collective concept, divorced from individual responsibility is the most evil thing I can think of. I almost wish I had not previously lost any desire to follow football so I could refuse to watch now.

Oh boy that sounds good. I might need to cheat on my diet soon. Who am I kidding, I cheated all weekend. #spineless
Saturday night for dinner guests was homemade butternut squash ravioli and a bunch of other stuff. We are really feeling like we need comfort food lately. And by “we,” I definitely mean “me.”
I may need to figure out what to make for some guests. That sounds delicious, but a lot of work.
Super easy. We make it in steps ahead of time. Assemble an hour or two before guests arrive. And my new rolling pin makes super quick work of the actual assembly.
Could even be made a few days ahead and frozen.
That’s a device I hadn’t seen before.
My rolling pin is this absurdly heavy marble one. It flattens things.
“My rolling pin is this absurdly heavy marble one. It flattens things.”
There is no need to brag, UCS.
I have 7 rolling pins of various styles, sizes, and purposes. This is just my latest acquisition. And it is fabulous. So fast!
All my rolling pins live on a wall-mounted rack over the counter where my mixer lives. It’s really supposed to be a towel rack for holding rolled bathroom towels, but it works perfectly. I’ll take a photo sometime.
Does it do double duty, as required?

After (can’t remember Glibs name and goes to box and feels shame) I am on a green bean, Hoisin sauce, and red pepper kick. I add them to all leftovers I have and they make all leftovers better. Ravioli sounds better. You could put used condoms in a ravioli and with the right sauce they would be good. I like me some ravioli.
Remind me not to eat at Westernsloper’s house.
Avoid the calamari too.
Probably a little chewy, though.
Move over, i can’t remember either and just about to make those green beans for dinner tonight.
Colored womenWomen of color hardest hit.Joe Biden
@JoeBiden
The hard truth is women — and particularly women of color — have never had a fair shot to get ahead in this country. That’s why today, I’m releasing my plan to make sure women can fully participate in our economy and country.
But Biden has gotten a head of many women/girls/etc in this country.
He’s gotten behind a few of them too.
Take THAT, Trump!
Oh, those replies….
“At least you didn’t call us housewives!!!”
/pffft….hausfraus, amirite?
I’m almost curious to understand in what way he thinks that “women — and particularly women of color — cannot fully participate in our economy and country”. Almost.
I still think it’s hilarious that they have a guy older than Trump, a guy who first came to the Senate in 1972, trying to wave the CHANGE THE SYSTEM banner.
That’s why I’m choosing Oprah Winfrey to head my task force – she’s only worth $2.6 billion – imagine what she’d be worth if she had a shot at getting ahead?
Oprah Winfrey = Ellsworth Toohey
She’ll be helping poor, struggling Kylie Jenner to finally get paid a fair amount.
What a bunch of malarkey.
Bleah… for a dainty Japanese lass my wife can sure be hard on equipment. She keeps ripping the remote control cradle off the wall.
So, since the dry wall is only about 2.5 inches off the re-enforced concrete structural wall behind it I will be drilling a couple 2mm holes into the concrete and then screwing the cradle against the dry wall with 3 inch wood screws into the concrete. Just waiting for the drill batteries to charge now.

Sports Illustrated’s 2020 Swimsuit issue features someone who is being called the “curviest model ever,” plus-sized model Hunter McGrady.
“I have been so excited for this shoot to be released,” the 27-year-old model wrote on Instagram. “This trip was life changing and was so special to experience with the most special team. Sports Illustrated has given me so much and created so many incredible opportunities for me and I will forever be grateful. Every time the magazine comes out it is a ‘pinch me’ moment.”

I honestly, truly, 100% don’t understand how this shit happened. Like, how did this get pitched and not get immediately laughed at.

So you are saying that you side with the colonizing overlord King George III and the British Empire?
After the results of a recent Fox News poll showed that Americans under the age of 30 were more likely than other age groups to describe the Founding Fathers as villains, Campus Reform asked students to weigh in.
“They accomplished a lot of things, but a lot of them were not very good,” one student said.
“Villains,” another answered when asked if he viewed the Founding Fathers as heroes or villains. “They owned slaves.”
Campus Reform also asked students if the Founding Fathers did any good, which most had trouble answering.
The higher education bubble cannot pop soon enough.
I was thinking about that a little yesterday. If universities stay closed or “online only” for more than another semester…that might come sooner than we think just due to inertia and the ivory tower of cards collapsing. Particularly with the number of jobs that will be around or hiring – and some folks might be feeling handier after being stuck at home and looking for more “productive” work than just sitting in a classroom.
I also think that. How in the hell can universities continue to overcharge for their crappy product when students aren’t on campus? Online education can be delivered for a fraction of the cost.
Feed them shit and then act surprised that mushrooms are growing between their ears?
So, they are definitely libertarians, I guess…. It’s almost as if they don’t actually understand culture and society.

Extreme libs hate themselves, and via projection, humanity. To mask their hatred of others, they deceive to the point of violently demonstrating a love of humanity, in the currently fashionable BLM.

Anyone else notice that the Fed officers in Portland all seem to be fit but the local police have around a 30% obesity rate?
I would hazard a guess that fed cops in 2020 have a very high percentage of former combat arms from our 19 years of war abroad.
I’m from L.A. and I notice they are willing to put up with a fucking HUGE amount of shit. Our cops will smash your head in for that kind of abuse.
Something something, fitness tests…………
30%? Portland police (and western popo in general) look much fitter on average than those elsewhere in the country.
As for the feds, they aren’t sending the garden variety officers that usually stamp passports and inspect customs cargo. Bortac is probably one of the more selective assignments in the border patrol and probably similar with the additional marshals that were sent in. What I don’t see a lot of, or any on the front line photos, is female feds.

10 is the correct answer.
I would have gone with 23 but seeing as no girl that looks like her is ever going to look at me that way without first getting a new car I may as well sit back and leer like a proper Gentleman.
There’s a limit to how far gone I can be if I still care what people think of the appearance of my house.
Since
no one ever visits meI so rarely get visitors, I sorta let the place get messy. But now that I’m going to have visitors, I’m doing things like scrubbing the soap residue off the bathroom sink. Also, the main mess turns out to be mostly an optical illusion. There’s not as much actual stuff making up the clutter, but the disordered state makes it look worse. I have until friday evening to get things presentable.Always clean like you’re expecting visitors even if that visitor turns out just to be you. #Lifeistemporary
Then you’ll spend your whole life cleaning.
Why? If you live alone, how big of mess to allow to accumulate?
How much mess do you think 2 middle-aged adults can make? Hop on an international flight, and I’ll (shamefully) show you.
American to Gaijan – “You’ve changed, Man!”
It takes the threat of guests to shame me into cleaning. Unless it’s my sisters. I know their houses are messier than mine.
I, either through neighbors, a deep infestation, or possibly because of Amazon deliveries, recently had roaches. Ugh. I completely boxed up the entire kitchen and got the area sprayed. It’s now taken me 2 weeks to wash every dish, spoon, and plate, per GFs request, before I put them back where they belong. My kitchen is very, very, very clean.
We rarely get visitors, but stay on top of the clutter/cleaning. Its like most things – not much trouble if you stay ahead of it.

That could be any number of place around here, back in the day, but now damn yuppies have gentrified the place and we no longer have that sort of authentic color.
By “yuppies” I mean me and (almost) all of my neighbors – my buddy’s father grew up right near here, on Winter Hill (home of Whitey Bulger’s Winter Hill Gang) and Walter could not be happier about how much better the neighborhood is. The 4th-generation locals next door agree.

Elephantisis of the balls.
My journey into woodworking continues…
A week or two ago, I emailed my Dad a YouTube video of a simple workbench design. I asked him if we could build it in his garage and transport it to my house for final assembly. The other day, I came home and the completed bench is just sitting there in my garage. Guess he didn’t feel like waiting around! That’s cool though; I think he misses having projects to work on since he’s retired and has probably fixed every single thing around his house. And now I can do all kinds of projects myself since I have a workbench.
So far, I’ve obtained:
– Various measuring squares and gauges
– Japanese pull-saw
– Side rabbet plane (just ordered it)
– Chisel set that my dad had laying around and gave to me
– Sharpening stone kit since the chisels need some touching up before being used
As soon as all these things arrive, I’m going to buy some cherry planks and start practicing. Once I’ve become competent at the basic woodworking joints, I’m going to build a custom bookshelf for my study. Very excited to get started.
Very cool. Now that I’m in a house with an actual garage, I’m working on getting a good set of woodworkng tools as well. Going to be building a table saw station with an inset router table here in the next few weeks, hopefully.

In all seriousness, I hate that drop-in mind set. Our house is a disaster because Wifey jumps from hobby to hobby and I drink too much. You know the parable about the cobbler’s children going unshod? We’re under housed and over stretched. Add another pup to the mix and I might just need to jump in the river.
There is definitely something wrong when one of the most historic and prominent gunmakers ever finds itself in bankruptcy. I wonder how much of a factor the Sandy Hook litigation really is.
That would have been…interesting. Also could have led to some leftist head explosions.
They would just fuck it up even more. I’ve seen first hand what happens when Tribal Councils try to do business on even terms. It always devolves to the ruling clan enriching themselves to their own advantage and everybody else getting STEVE SMITHED. If you ever entertained the thought that Scotland was clannish and awful you haven’t met a Tribal Council.
A more important factor is probably that Remington has made some sorry business decisions recently and has been churning out garbage guns with poor quality control for a decade and a half. When they acquired Marlin, a lever action company who had making basically the same design since the late 1800s/early 1900s, the quality went into the toilet and that wasn’t unique to that sub brand. Remington themselves have recently released a concealed carry pistol that was an absolute piece of garbage and it’s likely that the bad reputation they’ve acquired and the brand loyalty being exhausted is the primary cause.
I suspected something like that might be the case. Thanks!

Former smoker – a lifetime ago.
Good Luck! I hope you’re journey doesn’t take as long as mine. But I hope you get the same end result. 2-1/2 years nicotine free. It can be done. And I suggest Wellbutrin.
I’m a mess. My focus on cleaning had my mind going back to whether I’ve gotten rid of the mice. Upon hearing this pitter-patter noise en masse, I almost freaked out… then I realized it was just raining, and the windows were open.
I need a vacation.
Maybe I can deal with all my problems at the same time. Make this place more inhospitable to rodents and more hospitable to guests.
Yet there’s no sign that the mice have been eating anything in the house, nor any droppings. I would have expected some sign they’d gotten into my food, but there’s none.
Is there a place to buy a shit-load of live rodents and a feline (kept in reserve until the initial infestation has run its course) just to keep away judgy people from your abode? I’m only half-assed joking. If they don’t like your standards then they can go fuck a lentil. Your house, your rules.
I don’t know, but my neighbor is an apartment building, so it’s entirely possible that the nexus of the infestation is in there.
Wait, why would I buy rodents?
Sigh. White mice from the lab and borrow a cat. Explaining the joke is tiresome! You’ll need a dog to catch the cat…
A vacation would probably do you a world of good. One more thought on the cleaning-for-guest-prep topic: If you’ll pardon the “chick-oriented” analogy, I believe the best approach is to be in “Martha mode” ahead of your guests’ arrival, then make it a point to shift gears into “Mary mode.”
But then he’d have to choose which “vacation gloves” to pack! Leave UCS alone!
The driving gloves, the photography gloves and the supervillain gloves, duh.
So today I need to go renew my truck insurance but they’ve added a new rule wherein I need to declare the identity of everyone else that drives the vehicle. If this is not done and someone fucks up while driving the Tacoma it will go bad for poor old Festus. When I claim Judi as the other driver it will raise my rate, regardless. She’s had a few accidents and only one was said to be her fault. What is it that you Sages say on these boards so often? Feature, not a bug?
They didn’t require that before? It’s been that way around her for as long as I’ve paid attention.
New rule. Chinese people can’t drive and like to defraud the Government if they can.
