They arrived yesterday. 2 fully rebuilt, zero time, Ram/Continental TSIO-520-NB engines. 335 HP at 2450RPM.

Gonna take about two and a half weeks of time to put the accessories on the engines and get them installed. Lot of work for my mechanic dude.

May God give me the strength and patience not to pester the mechanics too much…..

Of course, then I gottta fly it hard and fast (80-85 percent power) for the first 10 hours to break in the rings and such. Gonna be a HUGE fuel bill. But imma go on a long cross country trip. 10 hours at 235 (ish)  MPH is a long way….Might stop in and see some people.

I dunno yet. We shall see.

Here is what it looks like sitting in the crate:

But also a wake-up call if they are smart enough to realize it….

Seems that the black people in the South Side of Chicago are figuring out that they really have no value to the folks in charge..

The black community is angry because they are being displaced, in some cases forcefully, from publicly owned spaces in order to make room for the influx of “Migrants”….

And they are realizing lately that the Liberals in charge who couldn’t find any civic money to help the African American population of Chicago are somehow able to come up with MILLIONS of public dollars for aid to the “Migrants” who illegally crossed the southern border. “Black” people don’t matter, “Brown” people do….They make better tools for the Liberal politicians these days.

That is was quick…an implosion or a fast leak, rather than slow suffocation in the freezing cold, trapped in a 20 foot cylinder as the air slowly ran out.

I mean, really, the latter seems like a bad way to go.

I mean, Hillary committed, for all intents and purposes, espionage with her thousands of classified documents on her unsecured server…..and then ADMITTED to trying to destroy evidence of her crime…(yet another crime of and in itself)…SHe got no prosecution.

Joe Biden has committed many crimes, but the DOJ won’t investigate…Bribery and selling the office of the President (and also when he was Vice President….)

They slow rolled Hunter Biden’s investigation until they could not hide his crimes any longer…. Then are trying to give him a slap on the wrist for his blatant tax evasion and re dismissing his gun crime….

If you, or I, or anyone you know had committed such crimes we would already be prosecuted and in prison….especially if we had done so so blatantly as these people. Yet they get off scott free. How? Who has such influence that they are shielded….if the Department of “Justice” even bothers to investigate? How is it that they are all but inviolate from crimes that would put anyone else in prison? How can they comit such crimes with near total impunity?

Yet the Biden’s and the Clintons walk free, or nearly so.

Where do I get some of that influence and power?

If they’d have called it “Proclamation Day” or even “Notification Day” or “Freedom Day” rather than the asinine name “Juneteenth” they might have gotten some support from the rest of the population.

But no, a STUPID name like “Juneteenth” was what they chose. I guess they had to find a name that the average black person with an IQ of about 85 could understand…….

The sad part is that most black people don’t have a clue as to what the date signifies.

But I know of no one, liberal or conservative, who is not black, who doesn’t find the term “Juneteenth” irritating.

To the Dads out there.

I was lucky. I had a Dad. . Many men don’t get one….And it seems they turn out poorly without one.

But I had a DAD. A pretty good one too. Still got him around too. I am blessed.

That many of the “Juneteenth”  *(what a stupid name) celebrations are erupting in violence…..shootings and beatings, deaths and injury….

20+ shot in one Chicago area celebration alone….

You can draw your own conclusions but I won’t ’cause if i do someone will call me a racist….But the correlations are obvious.

Probably the fault of the Amish…..

(I won’t call ’em “journalists” ) just can’t understand how Trump keeps his poll numbers up. They keep using words like “despite the indictment”….

Ferinstance: “Trump holds 34 POINT lead over DeSantis in New Hampshire – even after latest indictment:”

And, again, while Donnie is not my first choice, he does have my support…because anyone can see that the establishment (and by that I mean not only the DNC types, but also a significant part of the RNC/GOP as well) are doing whatever they can to try and distract him, hassle him, and entrap him. The charges are as obviously false as the last presidential election was honest, and as objective as say the DO and FBI….And the different application of the law against Trump (as opposed ot other presidential types) is as obvious as an elephant in church….

The more they attack him, the more support he garners. Anyone with two working neurons to rub together….with the cognitive ability of a grapefruit can see  that the charges in yet another “Scandal” are (ahem) “Trumped up”….and the obvious attempts to use( abuse!) the “Justice System” to stop him from running… and even people like me, who dislike him, are angered by that.

So we now know that three researchers who were (coincidentally enough) working with “Covid like” diseases were the first people to be diagnosed with, and actually get, Covid. 

Funny, innit? Despite years of denials from the Chinese (and the people paid for by the Chinese, like say, Fauci and other US government officials who downplayed the idea) the truth is coming out that Covid came from a lab, (it was engineered) and it didn’t come from bats sold in a market, it spread from people (likely from a lab leak(, and was spread by the workers themselves…..It may have been developed from a disease found in a bat cave, but it didn’t move 200 miles by itself, it didn’t develop spontaneously

The Chinese are the originators of this Pandemic. Chinese Government. Likely once it spread from the lab, they chose to help spread it to the world….

We can leave the question as to whether it was all that much more dangerous than most other respiratory disease that people spread every year for another time….

Imagine what it must be like to have an IQ low enough that you can enjoy watching “Love Island.”…And it is the highlight of your evening….
