Fixing the EPA ‘s fixes

So I have these new red plastic “water” cans. Oddly, some folks use ’em as fuel cans, don’t know why. I use ’em for, of course, water…. These are the ones that the EPA “fixed” the design on several years ago…

They suck……It  takes about 7 minutes to completely empty one…..They have the new design “venting” spout. Which means that the can can’t empty very fast because the “venting”spout really doesn’t work well.

Amazon to the rescue. 

These things install easily with just a 31/64 drill bit (and a drill) and a hammer to make ’em snap into place.

Pouring “water” is much easier, less splashing, happens faster (5 gallons in like 3 minutes) , and, surprise surprise, less splashing or spillage (and therefore evaporation) than before.

You will like these for all modern red, blue and yellow “water” cans. Fixes the EPA “fix”.

(check your local laws…these might not be legal to use on cans used for fuels….always follow the law)

I know most are peace loving and all that…But here is the thing:

The followers of the “religion of Peace” seem to be the only ones who are blowing things (and people)  up, (now that the IRA has faded, anyway)….

I am over 50 years old (get off my lawn!) and as far back as I can remember, with the exception of the Irish it has been the followers of Mohammad that have done the hijackings, the kidnaps and the terror……And the Irish tried very hard not to hurt anyone….calling ahead to make sure that no one was around when the bombs went off. .

These terrorists don’t do their work in a vacuum, by themselves. The Irish had people helping them, and hiding them, and stashing their equipment, and FUNDING them.

Same thing with these terrorists of Islam. Someone is paying their bills. Someone in Brussels hid them, fed them, aided them and allowed them to do the work that it took to plan and execute this attack. ’twasn’t done in a vacuum. Someone FUNDED this attack, with funds to live, funds to make and buy the equipment necessary.

They went to a Mosque,….where?. Who knew? Who delivered packages? Who helped?

Until the rest of the Muslims stop hiding these people, start reporting them, they will always be pariahs. Always suspect. Never trusted.

My prayers go out to the victims of the attacks today.

They say more arrests soon for people carrying firearms at the Bundy Ranch debacle.

HERE is the story.

Now, if those people were legally carrying the firearms, and not trespassing, what charges can be brought? If they never threatened the newly minted mercenaries freshly badged contractors that were dressed as Federal Agents, then under what laws are any arrests valid?

I’d like to know.

(I heard stories that the agents were watching the crowd through their scopes (which were still mounted to the AR’s) and some of the crowd were scoping them back, but still, I doubt that meets even the criteria of menacing)

We shall see. It may be that this is just a tactic to make the rest of us remember and be cautious next time…

HT for the link goes to Irish

ETA: What happens when someone decides not to go quietly? All it takes is one Patriot to decide to change the odds for the next guy…..”Shorten the stack”, as it were…Then what?

Or are we all gonna watch it happen and do nothing? What can we do,  if and when?

Where are the riots? (doesn’t matter)

I mean, a young black boy was killed. Gunned down in the evening just a few blocks from his home….

Gunned down in cold blood. He (really) was an honor student, with a great future (really!) in front of him.

Sadly, for the Black Lives Matter folks, he wasn’t killed by a white cop. Or even by a white man (Supposition, but there are few white people in that part of Chicago at night that aren’t cops….).

But seriously though…a young man, 16 years old, is dead. Shot by someone (this time not a cop though)…Where are the protests? The rioting? The screaming, fulminating hatred by the Black Lives Matter folks? Where is Jesse (the Reverend) Jackson? Where is Barry Obama? Where are all the other Black leaders who raised so much hell when a black criminal was shot by police? Where are they now?

Or do Black lives shot by other Blacks of no matter? Or is it because they can’t make news and gain power with incidents like this???

Y’know…

I don’t care who you are, Man or Woman, no matter your ethnicity, when your belly laps over the waistband of your pants that far, you are FAT. Not “Heavy”, not “Big Boned”, not “plump”, nor “Rubenesque”…

Yer fat. Look in the mirror. Exercise and diet. Stop snacking, skip the beer. Face reality…

And no, your personality isn’t gonna make up for it.

Sad:

Even CBS news admits that the GOP wants to “Take down Trump”.

Think about this. The Party leadership wants to stop the front runner because he isn’t their first choice….(He isn’t mine either, to  be honest)…So the Party no longer represents the bulk of it’s supporters. It won’t support, and is ACTIVELY WORKING AGAINST, the current pick of the majority of it’s voters.

And they wonder why I hang up on ’em when they call for donations.

I wonder, sometimes, how many of these professional protesters are paid for by the GOP rather than the DNC?

DoYa buy things from amazon?

I do, and now they have Amazon Smile…which lets you donate a small commission to the charity of your choice.

This month, my charity is RWVA…Appleseed. Good basic marksmanship classes. Plus a bit of history.

Last month was Second Amendment Foundation.

If yer buying via Amazon (and I spend a hundred $ or so each month) …why not? Costs you nothing and puts a bit of cash where you think it’ll do some good.

just sign in using your Amazon logon and password and select your charity.

Slaves

So today, on the day that we are all just a wee bit Irish (some more than others mind you)..

Happy St Patricks Day.

We should all clamor for Reparations.

After all, the Irish were the first slaves here in America.

What if the KKK

Had promised mayhem 8 years ago if Barry Obama was elected….

Can you imagine the hue and cry from…..well, everyone? Especially the black groups and their white supporters?

“Dear white people if Trump wins young niggas such as myself are fully hell bent on inciting riots everywhere we go. Just so you know.”

Bring it, Tyrone. More of us than of you. We armed. We practice…..A lot… We won’t put up with the shit you pulled in St Louis and Baltimore. Most of the mayors won;t let you riot. Neither will the rest of the non-black citizens let you destroy their neighborhoods.

Words are cheap.Once you leave your neighborhoods you will find the burning and looting more difficult. More costly.

We don’t care about your sense of entitlement.

(There is this to think about here too…..Opposing views: One young man felt he could take whatever he wanted. One woman though differently.)

You have to understand… how he going to get his money to have clothes to go to school? You have to look at it from his point-of-view.”
