New Blog

Og has invited me to collaborate with him on a new blog….Made In America. Please, as the list grows, take the time to check out our suggestions and, if possible, consider purchasing these products that are “Made in America”.

Please, if you know a product that is competitive with another popular item made in another country, email me and I’ll research it and put it up.

Buying “Made in America” helps our fellow citizens, helps our economy (and trade imbalance), and keeps our industry (what is left of it) inside OUR borders. It helps our country, and ultimately our national security by keeping a manufacturing base inside our borders.

But most of all, it helps keep our citizens employed.

ETA: I am receiving no cash or other value for posting about these products.

Happy New Year!

May your new year be profitable and fulfilling. I sincerely hope you find happiness and contentment.

This year, please take the time to avoid buying things made in China or other countries when there is an alternative made in the USA. You may have to pay a premium for such items, but we need to make an effort to buy “Made in the USA”. Make you choice to do so known to your retailer. Push for this.

Civil liberties

slide down the slippery slope into oblivion.

Go here to learn more.

Scary. Glad I don’t live in FLA.

But it is the pointy end of the wedge to it happening everywhere.

I guess that the copies of the Constitution don’t have the fourth amendment in them in Florida….(“no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause”)…

They know what is best for us, and the Constitution be damned.

I got a rifle fer Christmas

Well, sorta.

It’s a kit…..a “do it yerself”. Midwest Chick bought it for me for Christmas!

Actually, just what I wanted.

.50 cal…… Flintlock….. Charcoal burner.

Gonna take a LOT of work polishing the metalwork….and then the roughed out stock is gonna take even more.

I figure 3 months of evenings…..

(the first 90% of the project takes 90% of the time, the last 10% takes the other 90% of the time…..)

So far, I have cleaned up all the burrs on the barrel cutouts and have polished with 600 grit and started on the 1000 grit paper….The barrel is cleaning up nicely. Og has offered to blue the metalwork when I am done, and I may take him up on that, but I may choose to brown it too. I have lots of time to think about that and decide before I am done with the deburring and polishing….Suggestions?

WTF are you doing?

It is Christmas Day. Spend time with loved ones, or be thankful.

Merry Christmas to you all. 

For those of you who do not celebrate Christmas, or whatever, I won’t say “Happy Holidays”….

And the cracks in the facade widen.

“Clinging to the Euro will only prolong the agony.”

Seems that the Germans are getting tired of bailing out the more…..Socialist countries.

And when they can’t control the spending of those same countries, they are getting pissed.

I give it 2 years tops until the Deutschemark is used again. And shortly after, the Euro becomes worth less than the paper upon which it is printed……

Read part two as well.

Now if we could only break some of the more socialist states here in the US away from the Dollar…….

Big Brudder

And nyone (or at least any LEO) can get in on the party. For, apparently, any reason.

Tea party? Yer likely on it.
Reading this blog? Might be suspicious.
Gun owner? You betcha.

Come and get me, boys.
