Example of the ineptness of the Biden administration folks….they cannot even organize something like this without screwing up…

Energy Secretary Granholm did a trip in electric (coal powered) vehicles.….

The results were as one might expect. Broken chargers, not enough chargers for the convoy, slow charging and even having the police called on them for “Gas vehicles blocking chargers” (seems that they sent gas powered vehicles ahead to find and hold chargers for the cars in the convoy…..which other EV owners needing to charge found less than amusing).

Of course, they weren’t driving Teslas, because they wanted to support union built coal powered electric vehicles, so they couldn’t charge the cars rapidly….

What a debacle.

Funny how they are willing to subsidize privately owned public use chargers (that charge for the electricity) in certain areas where chargers are scarce….Have you ever heard of the FedGov ever subsidizing a fossil fuel station in an area where one was needed?

Yeah, Like the Challenger disaster, that day is indelibly written in my memory.

But when the anniversary comes around, I still remember. I will NEVER forget….It happened, Our country was attacked by those who hate us for who we are. Aided and financed by Rich Saudi Princes. Muslims that hate our freedoms and our way of life. Not all muslims, but many.

Having said that, after 22 years, I don’t have much else to say.

But, unlike others, I will not forget …..nor has it faded, nor has it’s importance waned.

For those people, forgetting and uncaring, or unwilling to acknowledge the day because it is too much trouble, are the reason it may happen again. It won’t if I can help it.

Remember.

Every relationship between men and women is Psychological.

She’s Psycho, He’s Logical.

So it seems that a bunch of “Migrants” (read Illegal alien invaders) got all squirrely at the 12th precinct police station in Chicago (where they are allowed to sleep, shelter, and use the bathroom facilities) when an officer tried to arrest one of their number for Assault.

Such a commotion was created that in the huhu the police Sargent at the precinct called for backup from other precincts….and was so worried about repercussions that the first order of business was “Cameras On!” …

Any single person that in any way impeded the arrest of the “migrant” charged with assault should be immediately sent back to the border and tossed over it. I’m sure there is video that could be used to identify the people involved.

But that is not the Biden way. It keeps happening and they keep letting it happen.

But that is the way of these people. Arrogant and not law abiding. Sadly, without some sort of Tune-Up they will not learn to be, either.

I mean, getting what you asked for…..

Mayor Eric Adams says New York City’s migrant crisis will DESTROY the Big Apple as he warns that 10,000 illegal asylum seekers arriving EVERY month will flood EACH of the five boroughs: ‘The city we knew, we’re about to lose’

This is my unsympathetic face. You folks supported illegal immigration as long as it was someone else’s problem. Now it has become your problem as well. Enjoy it.

I did my Insurance Mandated Refresher training in the 340. It was challenging and fun.

Due to some issues with getting the plane back to flight worthy and such, it was an issue with timing. I missed three openings in August because the plane was not ready, and it was fortuitous that this opening happened in the manner that it did, as I have to do this every 24 calendar months and I last did it 20 Aug 2021….And I could not fly the plane without a 340 experienced instructor until I completed the training…..

However, the trainer had to be nearby for other commitments, so it worked, as he then needed a ride home….. so we met, preflighted the plane, and I flew it to Minneapolis, doing the training there (and on the way). Then I flew back home. He helped pay for the gas, so It worked out.

Challenging, I must say. Pretty much a biennial flight review for twin engine flying mixed with a checkride. .

I did get compliments on my flying, handling of the airplane and of the fact that I tend to stay well ahead of the airplane (pilots, especially instrument pilots, will understand).

Overall the trip was fun. I am still not happy with the way the engines are set up, and will be pursuing that further. Plus the CHT’s were not where they should be. That is gonna get worked on.

But I can fly again and still have insurance now, so there is that.

In other words, there is NO Evidence that masks actually made a difference…..which means they didn’t. If they did there’d be some results that they could point to.

But then again, anyone with more than two neurons to rub together could have told you that…..In fact, may of us DID state exactly that. But we weren’t government (or media ) “Experts”…just folks with common sense, so we were ignored.

But everyone was told “trust the “Experts”….who had absolutely no reason to make any of the statements they did, no evidence except that “that is what they do in hospitals”…..

But since it doesn’t make a difference, they want us to mask up again…..This isn’t about Public Health, it is about Compliance. Anyone with the cognitive ability of limp Broccoli can tell you that Masks Don’t Work.

I hope every state follows suit.

Killer drunk drivers in Texas will now be forced to pay child support to victims orphaned by their reckless actions under a new law.

This law follows a Tennessee law enacted last year. Personally, I think that drunk or negligent drivers should have to personally pay compensation to their victims, orphaned children or whatever. Liquidate their assets and then send them to prison….

But this is a start.

I have had similar advice given to me….which is why I often “Make the chili”.

You can read the entire post at Woodsterman, but I will post a bit of it here…

A good friend of mine unexpectedly lost his wife. A couple months later we were golfing together, chatting about nothing. He asked what my dinner plans were and I told him wifey wanted my homemade chili and cornbread, but I didn’t feel like stopping at the store. We golfed a few more minutes when he quietly said, “Make the chili.”

It took me a few minutes to realize we were no longer talking about dinner. It was about going out of your way to do something for someone you love because at any moment, they could unexpectedly be taken from you.~~~~(read the rest at the link)

So think about it….take the time to “Make the Chili” while you can. Enjoy the time that you have left with those that you love, Do what makes them (and you) happy if you can…while you can…. If they’ll let you.

Time doesn’t run backwards.

You know who you are.

Congratulations on another successful orbit around our sun. May you find happiness and fulfillment on your next orbit.
