Why is everything posted 3 times? Strange.

Jim, Congrats on getting your truck towed, I hope it works out as well as planned !

I guess Rob from the City really wants us to check out the video's.... If once is good, three times is even better!

Modoc, I can't remember your name, but thanks for posting the video of the truck various train. The trucks never come out good when that happens.

 

Most people don't know trains can't hit the brakes and come to a stop like a car. It must be Jimmy Carter's fault that funding for "railroad safety" was slashed. People don't know how to stop at all rail crossings.



I blame everything on Jimmy Carter. I blame Jimmy Carter for everything. It was Jimmy Carter's fault that I've been working a ton of overtime down by City Hall. If I catch Covid from a prostitute, it will be Jimmy Carter's fault. As a matter of fact, I blame Jimmy Carter that I had liver for dinner.











Weird. I don't know what happened. It must have something to do with lines of code. I highlighted the videos, then clicked on "copy", and pasted it. I wonder why everything posted 3 times.

 

I didn't know you were such a huge fan of Jimmy Carter.

Jim

 

Good morning Ford Fan!

Rob from the city, your dinner looked great! I like Liver and Onions, and yours looks extremely good. I didn't like Jimmy Carter.

Jim, What's the word on your truck?

 

Still waiting for it to show up.

When I was a kid, we organically harvested free range game. Weird that as a child, I always enjoyed it. I always liked it with potato salad; which is what I am having for lunch.

As a kid, my job was to cook it. Cook it on cast iron. We cooked it over slices of bacon, and the liver got the bacon flavor. Once the bacon was crispy, the liver was done. Since we live in California, serve it with avocado.

Not many kids in The City got the luxury of the outdoors. I was fortunate.

 

Truck arrived! I'll get some pics later, it's too hot and my caregiver will be here shortly. I am a happy camper.

Well Ford fans, there were no injuries from the 18 wheeler vs train mess. Small blessings are appreciated.

It’s a tossup for this weekend. BSA activity or try to find some free range organic protein. Slightly curtailed since the Bronco is back in the shop with a couple of significant leaks.

Have a peaceful weekend everyone.

 

From the files of the rubber gun squad.

It's no secret there are special units where certain people are placed so that they can rise in the ranks, and career advancement is in their future. The real heroes get placement in SWAT, traffic, homicide, and all of those glamor assignments that they make movies and television shows about. They are there to take down bad guys and provide a service to society. Their promotions have already been arranged by political and family connections. I accept that. That's how the world works in private and public sector jobs. The son of the owner will always have it easier than some random employee.

There are other special units, where they send people who they don't want around. There are assignments to windowless rooms, in sub-basements, where you are in charge of unclaimed property, old files on microfiche, or counting pencils. For whatever reason, these guys didn't get fired, and they are lucky to still have a paycheck. This is their punishment for whatever they did wrong. Or in some cases, their punishment for stepping on the wrong toes.

With all of the dignitaries in town for Fleet Week, and the Feinstein funeral, every "alphabet soup" agency sent their people. The police officers from City College and the School of Dentistry could be seen standing prominently in uniform as extra eyes and ears. In the spirit of "Interagency Cooperation", special "Joint Task Force" operations were set up methodically to ensure that every aspect of crowd control, public security, and dignitary protection were administered.

My team, which works in plainclothes, was fortified with officers from outside agencies. Almost a complete waste of time, since most of these guys didn't know how to dress, walk, or talk like they belonged on the streets. Along with the extra manpower, they brought their resources. They came with extra equipment like shotguns, tear gas, windbreakers with big yellow letters, and vehicles. A couple of guys from an unnamed agency, showed up in a taxi cab. They were driving it. Of course it's not a secret that plainclothes police officers drive around in cars painted with taxi company logos. These cars have hidden strobe flashers and sirens which could be activated. In an urban environment, the bad guys usually never suspect that one of the many taxis on the road is actually a police car. The real problem is that these guys were clean cut, with freshly barbered hair, and wearing suits. Not to mention that both of them were riding in the front seat. And the dead giveaway was that the cab was painted yellow with New York Taxi logos. These were the geniuses that their own agency did not want getting in the way of anything important. So they sent them to us. Apparently, we are the rubber gun squad.

 

And all the dignitaries that are being protected are pro-gun right? I mean God forbid we would protect any anti-gun dignitaries with guns.

Amazing that in a city so small, one side of town is 95, and the 9ther side of town is 65. The warmest weather is in the high crime zones. Is that the reward for bad behavior, while the law abiding freeze?

 

I don't know what the statistics are. But things change with real-world circumstances.

 

She got car jacked again?!?
Got locked out of my donor truck. I sent the caregiver to get the paperwork out of the glovebox of the truck and asked her to lock the doors to keep people out. It worked. This morning I went out to the truck to clean it up some and found out the only key I received is the ignition key. It doesn't work in the door. And there is no key on the passenger side front door. The key cylinder looks like it has been jacked up. Maybe a small screwdriver can make it work. I will check tomorrow, too hot to go out there now. I will check with my insurance company to see if their roadside assistance includes lock outs.

anti-gun dignitaries with guns would be an oximoron.
