Productive

 It was a god morning.  I trimmed some trees, cleaned a fence line, fixed a lawnmower and did a litlte gunsmithing.  Cooked lunch at noon.  Not a bd morning's work for an old fart.  I think I'll take the afternoon off.

I notice that we still don't have firm figures on the California races In this most advanced era of human civilization, the simple fact that California cannot count votes within hours of the polls closing is a damnable indictment of the way they conduct elections.

Local Politics

 Local politics should be local. A mayor's race is interesting to the locals, but past a certain mileage, it doesn't really matter.

I, for one, am damned tired hearing of the Los Angeles mayors race.   If those people don't have enough sense to elect a compete mayor, that is on them.  It doesn't affect me one whit.

Fox News needs to realize that they are a national news organization and quit covering local news outside of that local news market.

Fiddlers Green

 Running errands today I went to a sign shop and had a sign printed.   The guy wasn't busy and had a humongous priner, and in a few minutes, he had taken care of me.


Now, I need to decide where in the shop I am going to hang it.  If you know, you know.

Not Hating

 Not hating on y'all, I'm really not, I've been distracted.  Moving two ranges into a trailer, then setting them up for a sanctioned match, then tearing down when it is over and loading the trailer for the road home.  At some point you are just throwing stuff in boxes.  Those boxes have to be sorted. That is what I have been doing this week.

Couple of weeks ago, I wat talking with grandson Lucas and told him how his great-grandmother would freeze Snickers bars to have around when necessary.  If we asked for a treat, she would gie us a frozen Snickers bar.  Lucas reported today that a frozen Snickers bar is worth the wait.

Hurricane season starts tomorrow.  The National Hurricane Center reports no tropical activity at this time.

Flush Valve

 I don't even like to say the word "plumbing" more than once a year.  It's bad juju to call the leak demons.  But, the toilet in the guest bathroom was running and we didn't notice it for several days.  I guess. I'm sure my water bill is going to be awesome this month.  As those types of jobs go, changing the flush valve isn't bad and the YouTube University is a helpful asset to keep you current.  I don't do enough of those jobs to remember all the fine points and I'm not too proud to watch a video that saves me frustration.

The shooting match this weekend was an unqualified success, due mainly to the efforts of my club members  who worked tirelessly to erect ranges on the day before the match, and to disassemble them when the shooting was finished on Sunday.

Now all that is left to do is to unload the trailer and they will be here tomorrow to finish that.

The Trailer is Packed

I haven't been ignoring you guys.  I really haven't.  For the past few days I have been packing boxes and checking lists.  Today, the club showed up to load the trailer.  It's loaded with all the paraphernalia that I need to host a titled championship.  Tomorrow we move to the event center and erect two ranges.

Louisiana State kicks off on Friday morning.

Cassidy Is Done

 Bill Cassidy is the senior US Senator from Louisiana.   First elected in 2014, he claimed to be a staunch conservative.  In 2020, he rode Trump's coattails into a second ern, them promptly sided with the liberals to try and impeach President Trump.

Louisiana has "Jungle primaries", which tend to elect liberal RINOs.  We changed that law for some offices and yesterday had party primaries for Cassidy's Us senate seat.  He lost, big time.


When conservatives vote, RINOs get their marching papers.  All that is left for Cassidy to do is clean out his desk.  He's done in Louisiana politics, and this is the best possible answer to those who say that jungle primaries are better than party primaries.
