If you have an IPhone, update the IOS….. IMMEDIATELY.

Apparently there is a newly discovered security flaw that can easily compromise your phone and ALL of your data.

A damned good point, innit? Ask yourself why the Covid “vaccine” and not the others?

So the woodsplitter got uncovered over the winter. The 10 Hp engine sat out and I didn’t notice that the tarp had blown off of it…water had gotten into the carb and mice had eaten the spark plug wire insulation. (This splitter was homemade,  from parts sourced (likely) from industry. Hell of a big cylinder (like 8″) with a bunch of oversized rails and tanks and fittings. It is a cobbled together mess, that I bought 30 years ago at a sale but it splits wood like no tomorrow…. and I have replaced the worn out 10 HP Briggs with another (less) worn out 10HP Briggs engine).

But it needed the carb cleaned up or replaced…..And the magneto fixed…or an engine replacement…..

No problem, says I. I have another engine sitting in the barn from a Cub Cadet lawnmower that is identical to the one on the splitter. Should take about 4 hours to swap ’em out…Except I can’t find it. I had it 6 or so years ago, but not now…I either traded it or simply lost it in the clutter. I dunno.

So I raided my neighbor’s pile of scrap and found an engine in parts that used the same magneto. Stole that. (he’s good about that sort of thing. We swap stuff all the time…if he needs it and I have it it is his, same-same)

Looked on Amazon for a carb rebuild kit. Huh. Gasket, float and needle kits are $40 ish. New chinese copies of the carb were $19. So I bought a carburetor. .

Supposed to be an “Exact replacement”. Not really, but the throat size was the same, and the mounting bolts were in the right place….it would work. While not an “exact replacement”, it did fit and with a few washers and some filing, all the other parts fit onto to it.

Now I have a working woodsplitter.

Of course, the starter failed right after I got the engine running (corrosion from exposure kept the bendix from disengaging and it ate the gear) but I did have a starter that I had cleaned up from another engine sitting (where I could find it!!) on the shelf and it was a simple swap.

Runs like a champ now. I shall split wood with it this weekend.

So nice to have parts and such that can be repurposed.

They take an idea (that they know nothing about, really), and try to sell it to people that actually think.

Seems that Liz Cheney is on her way out.

Unseated.

People remember your actions, And in this case, they remembered that she did not represent the people, her constituents, and embarked on a vendetta against Trump….

And they voted her out in the primary.

The choice is: enough land for food production or enough land for energy production.

Not too much of a choice, really.

“In a decarbonized world that is renewable-powered, the land area required to maintain today’s British energy consumption would have to be similar to the area of Britain,”

“This, in turn, had presented the authorities with a choice between continuing to use arable land for wind and solar, or using it for food.”

Essentially, what it comes down to is that if we use all the available land area to place solar panels and windmills, then someone is gonna starve.

Smaller countries are gonna have even bigger issues.

One can have carbon-free renewable energy. Or, one can have enough food to feed the population. You cannot have both using current methods. (and that is with current farming practices using pesticides and chemical fertilizers. If you go “organic” then the numbers are even worse)

Starve, or live in the dark and cold. That is the choice the Greens would have us make.

CBS News is calling Gab a “Far Right Media Site”.

I guess from their viewpoint, it is. Of course, I find nearly all News Media and the other  censored Social Media to be Far Left, so there is that.

(Of course, had it not been for the censorship of Facebook and Twitter et-Al, there would be no Gab, would there?)

So, if they arrest Trump, what are ya gonna do?

We stood by and let them steal the election. We stood by while they changed the rules to make their cheating easier, changed the rules for validation of mail0in ballots….We stood by when they told us we were stupid to think we could get the courts to intervene and force a recount of valid votes.

We stood by while NY prosecutors did their best (and are still doing) to destroy the corporation that Trump has….

We stood by while a bunch of misguided patriots have been mistreated and held without bond for their misdemeanors of trying to occupy the Capitol (they called it Insurrection as their excuse to persecute those misguided fools)…yes, we stood by when our Government mistreated our fellow citizens….

Are we gonna stand by and do nothing if the folks in power decide to go even farther and arrest Donald John Trump?

Best decide now. At what point do we choose not to let them go any farther?

Masks are ineffective in preventing transmission of Covid. 

Yet nearly every Health Care Professional and “Expert” told us we had to mask in order to prevent the spread.

So either they were parroting what they had been told or they were lying. Either way, their credibility is (again) eroded. At this point why should we believe anything they tell us?
