We’re doing some serious remodel work at the shop, and this is step one. A walk in refrigerator/freezer combo in the basement. There is also a trailer at the plumbers place loaded with new hoods for the kitchen. So this is a perfect day for Old Man and I to run over to the Finger Lakes and enjoy world class wines few people know about.
But first, the Links!
Joe trying to sneak in a little strange.
Oh yeah? Well we have Phoenix.
Yay! The Middle East war is expanding!
The ultimate in bee hive living.
I’m looking for the downside here.
Yes, Herself is just what the country needs.
Okay, that’s it for today. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Peace out, Glibbies.

If it’s only an hour from Anchorage, it’s not isolated.
Heck, just here in Ulster County, NY, there’s Hardenburgh and Denning.
“If it’s only an hour from Anchorage, it’s not isolated.”
Well, for certain values of isolated, anyway.
What matter of fool stays in New York?
Flee! Flee while you still can!
Spud bought a new home there to be near his drinking buddy, as I recall.
That’s a terrible sacrifice, you could get the buddy out of the state instead!
Worse, the drinking buddy picked up a son-in-law and a litter of puppies.
Considering how cheap upstate is compared to the land of Potatoes, there are worse things.
Obligatory.
We took a ferry from Valdez to Whittier. Put the truck on the ferry, then on to a flat car in Whittier and rode the train out of Whittier. Nice trip, Valdez had recovered well from the oil spill.
We spent zero time in Whittier, only thing we saw was the buildings from the sea.
Bullhead reached 132 actual when I lived there, so fuck Phoenix.
We have a heat have here, 77 actual
Cheers!
Heat wave,

Tomorrow I need to get on the roof of the house and pressure wash in the sun, so I should probably drink excessively and give myself a massive handover, non?
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87821224358?pwd=eW55MTRDbDNtQkh2aHd3M1Nmenlzdz09
What’s the slope of that roof. Is it steep enough to frighten away Secret Service snipers? Be careful.
It’s perfectly flat. The Secret Service agents have actually built a nest and laid eggs up there
“Chirp chirp!
Not our fault, not our fault,
Chirp chirp!”
A handover? Is that what the kids are calling it now?
Ahhhh sheeeeeit
Once I got car-jacked.
Luckily I didn’t get any on the seat.
HEY-OHHHHH!
Calling Hanover fist!.
Seriously don’t
/ too much xp
I’m tempted to ask for an edit on this, but I did it to myself
(laugh track)
That is a clean looking remodel. No trash and no piss bottles or empty Tecate cans.
There is a housing development going in across the street. I’ve been wandering through the partially finished houses and I’m pretty sure the guys subsist on Pepsi and Tecate.
And yet they are all skinny.
I am pretty sure I could quickly drop 50-60 pounds if I was doing framing in the summer full time.

Popular with HR harpies maybe.
I wonder how the left explains Microsoft et al. dumping DEI now.
Trumpers destroying America.
Common does not equal popular.
Wonder how much Hillary paid that guy to write that “spontaneous” article.
FTFY.
Threatened to get naked with him tied to a chair?

Fuck you guys ruined my breakfast. Leave that job to SF.
She recently published a book which put her back in the news. I think she’s been planning an attempt at the nomination for a while. It might explain the media’s sudden about face on Joe.
Makes total sense – swap out the guy who beat Trump for the woman who Trump beat.
I’m going to keep saying this. It’s hilarious how a party that just weeks ago warned of the chaos of a Trump presidency, is now the most chaotic shit show in the history of politics. Let us savor this moment.
I guarantee you I’m savoring it. Country’s going to shit, might as well enjoy the show as it goes there.
And this is just what we can see. Imagine what the back alley knife fighting must be like. It’s not just White House staff v DNC. Its every faction fighting for turf when the White House is finally overrun (if it is, and frankly, I’m far from certain the current White House is going to throw in the towel – all they have to do is hunker down and not give in).
I would say that it is Hilary vs. Obama as the title bout on the fight card.
(and on a serious note, I totally agree with you re the White House doing everything it can to weather the storm, so to speak.
I can imagine Nancy drunk as hell and screaming her head off.
We should probably just give SugarFree 5 slots a week at this point.
Ohh, SF coverage of the Dem National Convention?!
Actually in 1924 the Dems took 16 days and 103 ballots to nominate John Davis to be sacrificial lamb against the Silent Cal juggernaut.
“Yay! The Middle East war is expanding!”
Not really. It’s been Iran proxies v Israel the whole time. The whole Houthis-attack-shipping thing was always an Iran proxy v Israel thing, anyway.
The difference is Israel is now fighting on three fronts. They can’t do that for long without more help.
They might need to consolidate too one front: Iran. I am pretty sure that would take care of a lot of the side shows.
“They might need to consolidate too one front: Iran”
I never liked not being a part of a nuclear war anyway.
They can’t do that for long without more help.
Translation: American dollars.
“They can’t do that for long without more help.
Translation: American dollars.”
Good thing we didn’t need them for anything ourselves.
I thought the Houthis were the Iranian stalking horse against the Saudis?

Some very strong candidates here. Which one will KuhMAHluh choose as her running mate?
I know it’s just part of WordPress, but the mouseover effect on the featured image is so entertaining. The wine changing color today is cool.
Yes. There was one after the debate of Biden on which the mouseover made him more orange.
Apparently the latest dog whistle is mispronouncing Kamala’s name.

Harris is of Black and Indian descent and is the first woman and person of color to serve as vice president.
Charles Curtis has entered the chat.
Is the Gate reporter trying to erase the history of our brave put-upon noble Natives?
Charles Curtis (January 25, 1860 – February 8, 1936) was an American attorney and Republican politician from Kansas who served as the 31st vice president of the United States from 1929 to 1933 under Herbert Hoover. He had served as the Senate Majority Leader from 1924 to 1929. A member of the Kaw Nation born in the Kansas Territory, Curtis was the first Native American and first person in a racial minority group to reach either of the highest offices in the federal executive branch.[2]
Feather indians aren’t people of color, apparently.
I think they’re recycling that from 2020.
I have heard the song “Kamala’s Too Nice” way too many times to pronounce it any other way. I’m not even doing it intentionally, they can take it up with Ben Weasel if they want.
I didn’t know it really was commie-la. Also Sununu is a super squish, the idea that he’s a super racist is ridiculous.
Nerd humor
Bwahahahaha!!!!
OMGLOL
I still want to know how someone whose language works that way would convey the underlying stories to children without the prerequisite common knowledge? Either there is a ‘child language’ which is used to teach the stories before moving on to adult analogy speak that could be used with the magic talky box to speak with aliens, or the analogies have transformed into words with inherent meanings that the magic talky box should then translate properly. Clearly some concepts registered with the magic talky box, so some effort between people other than just military commanders could result in a trade language which would allow for communication. But apparently everyone in that setting has only a 45 minute attention span (plus commercials) so nobody worked through the difficulties.

You have that backwards.
I understood the joke you were attempting, but moved on to a more nerdy discussion.
Shopping update: got drunk and bought a Kershaw 9000 OTF knife last week.
I only remembered doing it when I got an email about my order being fulfilled.
I hope I dont end up with buyer’s remorse.
Never heard of them.
How much did you spend and what type of knife?
Kershaw is pretty well known in the knife biz.
A variation on this. There are many:
https://www.bladehq.com/item–Kershaw-Livewire-DA-OTF-Automatic–178516
RC, thats the one.
Drunk shopping is usually expensive and full of surprises. “Oh look, 1,500 rounds of ammo just showed up.”
I am not getting my ammo from Temu. *click click click*
That’s how most of my Leathermans and Leatherman accessories showed up. Last drunk purchase was their new tool carrier with work tray.
https://www.leatherman.com/leatherman-adapt-kit-701.html
I grew up on Leathermans and from time to time, I think about picking up another one but I just don’t carry or use them. I’ve got enough real tools that the compromise isn’t worth it.
It’s a $70 empty nylon bag?
I carried a Leatherman Wave through my entire fire service career.
I have one Kershaw.
https://www.knifecenter.com/item/KS1515/kershaw-random-task-ii-assisted-3-14-inch-stonewash-plain-blade-g10-handles
I like, but don’t love it. Prefer my Spyderco.
https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C11BK/Delica-reg-4-FRN-Black/209
Japanese made blade, however.
I have several Spyderco’s with exotic steels. I love them.
I have no OTF knives, but I certainly understand drunk shopping. Especially at Gunbroker…
Dinnertime! Grilled chicken quesadillas with avocado and esquites.
Fantastic! Chicken legs with beans and corn here.
Anybody zooming? I’m drunk AF and wondering if I should just collapse in bed or see if any of you lot are awake
It’ll be at least another hour for me, more if I decide to de-stinkify myself
Psst…stink doesn’t transmit in zoom!!
So if Biden steps down, doesn’t the nominee have to be Kammy? Democracy has spoken, and the overwhelming majority of voters chose Joe and Kammy as their leaders.
Party apparatchiks choosing the nominee is how they do it in the former USSR, China, and other communist countries. In America, we choose through democracy, and nobody fucking loves democracy more than democrats.
Also, if Joe steps down from the campaign because he’s not fit, shouldn’t the Republicans demand he step down as President? If he’s not fit to run, he’s not fit to lead. There’s still 6 months left in his term, which is a long time to go without a leader.
The Dems really have themselves painted into a corner.
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/jd-vance-others-say-biden-resign-presidency-drops-out-race
Thanks. I don’t really follow the news, so didn’t realize some have already been calling for him to step down. Glad to see they’ve come to the same logical conclusion.
Biden quits & resigns, Kamala takes over, and the Dems nominate a clean slate. 🍿
I want Joe to stick it out and get trounced. I want the Dems, their propagandists, and apologists get spanked hard in a November.
Me too. Many of the current Biden clips are almost as funny as Trump tweets when he was President.
I’m back on the Biden stays in side of the bet.
Sunday morning shows are going to be fun.

Kinnath: if there was a meet-up in KC in September, would you have any interest? Can’t remember which part of IA you are in.
I am in east central Iowa. Five hour drive to Kearny MO. Six to the far side of KC.
We are going to Honey Harvest the 3rd Sunday of Sep.
I will be camping out at Smithville lake Oct 10-14.
OK, we can keep you posted? It won’t be Sep. 4 for sure.
I’ll be there in 35 minutes.

Four types of movie endings:
The sweet
The bitter
The semi-sweet
The bittersweet
The protagonist should have a want and a need. The want is something external to himself. The want may be based on a lie that the protagonist believes.
The need is something lacking internally, and the protagonist doesn’t know that he has this need.
The four movies discussed are
Back to the Future
The Godfather
Rainman
The Social Network.
How do murder mysteries fit into this?
Hmmmm. Underappreciated movie: Cut Bank
There is, of course, a long list of such flicks but that is the one that leapt to my mind first.
Good morning! Last day here. I would prefer to drive home and sleep in my own bed tonight, since I’ll probably be done by 4:00. Except… SIG is wanting us to do the tear down, which can’t start until after the protest period is over, which can’t start until the last shooter is done.

Morning. Mrs OBE and I ended up at this little neighborhood bar where no one was there. Bartender/owner was quite the character.
The thing that got me was “I am a capitalist. Government is fucking with my money now”.
Also, didn’t have the beer my wife likes so he ran down to the store and sold it at retail for her to drink.
😁
Good morning, Sean, OBE, NA, Suthen, and Ted’S.!
Just another peaceful Sunday morning at Tranq Base with the sun just sliding up over the neighbors’ Mature Trees, some wildlife puttering around, birds chirping, choral music on the satellite radio (“comfort from above,”) and iced mocha latte in the Glibs latte mug! Kinda nice during this period of uncertainty in the world at large.

Sean, you do realize you would be a millionaire if you would splurge on paying a minder for your wallet when you are drinking, right?
I think he is trolling Tres Cool.
One day we’ll all be millionaires and scrambling to find money to pay the electric bill…
What electricity?
History, it’s what repeats itself, GT
I am reasonably restrained, but I do allow myself to indulge occasionally.

4X20: If the current globalists succeed we will be drowning in money with no electric bill to pay and nothing else to buy either.
I assume OMWC and Spud got incredibly drunk again.

Let’s answer a question that no one was asking in way that alienates some significant fraction of your paying customers. Good job.
Except this isn’t new. I’m not a fan of the character but even I knew that. This isn’t a retcon.
“Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence. ” So it is said.
In the case of the OMB’s near assassination the mountainous pile up of fuckups cannot be adequately explained by incompetence.
Just sayin’.
I have never agreed with that theory. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Given the amount of malice and deceit in the world I am also so inclined.
