UPDATE. So I called Trump to see if I could have use of a drone. You know us beaver beaters have a direct line and and all. He told me he’d get back to me. Well, he did and this is what he sent me.

Counter surveillance has been cancelled 😂

No mowing here today. I'm done for the week. Taking care of stuff around the house today.

MOW MAN MOW!!!!

Hey bowtie, you have anymore damage this morning from those storms? Got power back on? Hope all is well for you.

Still on generator power since 6-7 PM last night. We must have had some kind of little tornado or something because there's branches snapped off 15-20' above the ground. There's a big-azz oak down across the power lines and a power pole pushed over right down the street so that's probably the culprit. I'll get the gas company to top us off after this and that will give me a good idea of what to expect as far as gas usage.
What's said on FTE stays on FTE, right? Yeah, right... Anyway, my wife is staying nights at my son's house dog sitting while they are in the hospital w/ new baby & c-section mom. Anyway, she goes home around noon and calls me to say "the electricity is back on but why is the generator still running?" I bite my lip and explain the power isn't back on and the generator is powering the house. She realizes what she said and we both have a good laugh. She obviously hasn't had her coffee yet.

Mowing......checking thread.

No Teddy man. I meant who's on watch? Like.....who's on the lookout for Krewat dude.

Anyway even if they injected you with truth serum, your rap sheet is too long to be admissible in court


Edit.....that sounds like a smarta--. What I meant was I know you would not snitch. You're in it to win it.

Back to mowing cause obviously I can't do two things at once

The moose reference reminds me of a member here from years ago - you didn't want to get on her bad side

I don't pay attention to "life" in general. I'm a 55 year old neckbeard that has for decades worked from home as a consultant until a few years back, and then COVID happened. So I'm back to the neckbeard lifestyle



Does it smell of Brut deodorant ?

Tanks passed there but the window needed to be screwed closed. I could put as many tanks that size beside the house but to go to the horizontal style had to be 40' from the house with a barricade in the yard. Make sense? It did'nt to me

Crazy codes, I just got a price this morning for tanks. 100 lb. Cylinders I can put against house. Anything over 300gal. Has to be 10' from house. Or buried. I'm not liking the idea of a big ugly tank in the yard, but it sure won't bother me when power is out!

It would be really nice to switch to a propane generator in my RV. But the propane generators don't have the same power output as the gasoline models. When the temperature goes below freezing, the output gets even worse. Diesel would be cool, but the low temp issue is really bad if the lines gel up. A switch to a generator with an EFI fuel system, would be handy. But replumbing the fuel lines from the front of the trailer to the back isn't worth it.

So I'll continue with my carburetor gasoline generator, making sure I use Ethanol-free fuel and adjusting it for altitude as needed. <-- First world problems right there!

I sent that stickman to the administrative assistant I had last summer. You know, she’s one of the four....... we’ve talked about this. She absolutely loved it. Heck, I absolutely love it. 😂
