I can’t stand the Honorable Representative Peter J Visclosky. His politics and mine are about as far apart as can be. Plus his primary choice of folks he represents (because the re-elect him every time) is unions, which I don’t care for….

However, having an issue with a Federal Park in my area, and getting ZERO communication from management (I left detailed voice mail messages, no calls back and no action), I bit the bullet and called Visclosky’s office.

A week later, they called me back for clarification and some other details.

Amazingly enough, shortly thereafter, I got calls from the Federal Park Superintendent…. and action. Problem solved.

He may be a raving Democrat, and represent Unions, Liberals, and Socialists over Conservatives, but when I asked his office for help, they delivered.

This is how it is supposed to work. 

I had always thought it was urban legend…..

So, today, I was doing a bit of cutting with a chainsaw. Somewhere, somehow, I misplaced one of the nuts that hold the bar onto the saw in the grass while changing a chain. (apparently, the nut departed this universe, as I combed the grass and even went over the area with a magnet….?) Not a big deal, I have a spare…..

So, when I was done, on my trip into town, I stopped at the Stihl dealer and picked up 2 extras, so that when I misplace one again, I would be prepared…

And there, as I live and breathe, I saw him. Dude had a more or less brand new 14 inch Stihl chainsaw and not one, not two, but THREE chains. Complaining that “none of them cut worth a damn and only made smoke”.

Dude at the counter looked at him, then at me, then ran his finger over the chain.

“It’s on backwards” he said. Both of us tried not to laugh.

Harry the whining homeowner looked at the chain.
Looked at the other chains. I stepped up and felt ’em….still sharp as factory new, just discolored from heat from friction.

“Here, let me show you” Counter Dude says.

Harry the whining homeowner just picked up his saw and chains and walked out.

How can anyone be so stupid? 

BLEG:

I have a guy who contacted me via Email for advice on pistols. However, I live in Indiana outside Chicago and he is in Oregon…..So my help is limited.

Anyone in the Eugene area (or Portland, he apparently lives in both) can help him out?

If so email me and I will put you in contact. Contact me at [email protected] and I will put you in touch.

Thanks

Second year in row!

We drew (last night) the winning tickets for the three gun raffle my gun club has been doing the past two years…

This is the second year that I have sold two of the three winners. Both times second and third place.

So, if you wanna win first, buy from someone else. If you wanna win one of the other two, buy from me next year.

ETA: Rich, Read your Email!

I need your Google-Fu

How many acid attacks happened in Britain in the 70’s?
80’s?
90’s?
00’s?
10’s?

How does this correlate in time with the importation of muslims middle easterners in job lots and/or “diversification”? ?

Can’t seem to find any info. But I am betting there is a correlation.

Of course, I am a racist and a islamophobe. (and according to some, a rat bastard and a just plain old meanie, but that isn’t important right now).  ….So I see things that the press and liberals (but I repeat myself) can’t…..

If they can do it

with drugs….

You can bet that, at some point, someone will do it with C-4 . (or TATP, but the Jiggle might well set that off). 2-4 lbs of C-4 or Semtex will not do a plane any good, structural integrity wise…Plus just the terror part….

And when they do…….then how do you do security?
Seriously….

Nice try there, fellas

Nice way to try and bash the NRA:

We Finally Know Why the NRA Didn’t Stand with Philando Castile After a Cop Killed Him

Except that that isn’t the mission of the NRA. That is, rather, the mission of the  ACLU (or the NAACP, maybe).    They are the ones who protect human rights and such.

Was Philando Castile MURDERED by a cop who was scared? Probably. Should the cop be charged with MURDER? I answer yes. But cops get away with actions that would put you and I in jail.

Cops actions are’t part of the mission of the NRA. The are a Gun Rights organization. Conflating the two is only done as an attempt to denigrate and undermine the NRA. Saying that many people are confused as to why the NRA was silent on the murder is’t really truth.
