Island Of Misfits

[Bubba]

That gives you bragging rights for sure. I've only had four knee surgeries, but was just hoping my two total knee replacements would last a lifetime.



Less danger of an earthquake for sure, though more hurricanes and biting critters in the air and water. From this perspective it looks like less insane leadership leading the charge in Florida.



The Chinese have always planned for generations, while us'ns round eyes plan for the fiscal year. Regardless of who is the greater threat, we are currently collectively threatened by China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. I doubt we would fair well if they decided to collectively gang bang us, even if we retaliated.

55F @ 85% RH, rain, and predicted to reach 68F.

Another day of rain, so planning to spend time with mostly indoor hobbies, aside from joyful time outdoors winding down the pup.

Grayfox restocked the fridge yesterday, so I'm warming up the bead bath as we speak. The Creme Brulee went over big time, so that's a given and she also picked up the cottage cheese, Jack, and Gruyere to try Egg Bites.

I need to pick up a case of wide mouth half pint jars and hope that doesn't turn out to be a project, as I've heard there are canning jar shortages.

I recently got 4 doz of them from Bed Bath and beyond on line of all places.

Yup it is true. RIP Ronnie/uni

Just ordered 4 doz 1 quart wide mouth, with BBB coupon about 57 bucks to door.

Damn dog! My female springer loves to eat my plants. So that's one gone this morning. Fortunately a small one. Well there are still 20 left. And five skunk seeds waiting to sprout.

My cat does the same thing. Even after I planted her some winter wheat to munch on.

Thanks for the heads up!

Yup it is true. RIP Ronnie/uni

Oh wow! I noticed that Uni wasn't posting and wondered where he was. I still have some of his seeds.

RIP and god speed brother! We enjoyed your time with us and will be poorer with your loss.

51F @ 86% RH, gaugus and predicted to reach 79F.

A Cluster F*** looking for 1/2 pint wide mouth jars yesterday and finding naught. I finally settled on 1/4 pint small mouth, which turned out not to be a bad thing from a portion standpoint. I made "egg bits" in jars in the aluminum bead sous vide and they are so rich and flavorful, that one was enough.

I can't do much with my left hand in a terrible state and my elbow wrapped up but I managed to put five of the Superskunk seeds in. I've still got to make up four more pots for the Oaxaca sativas that popped a week ago.

What happened to your hand and elbow? I am a self-appointed expert on hand-wrist-arm injuries, having treated my own pro landscaping injuries for 30 years. Yes, I am am a woman, but I was not just puttering around. At 60, I observed that I could work circles around three 20 yr. old men.

I think it was building the pizza oven. Setting over 160 bricks, and I had to cut quite a few, and all the mortar and concrete work. I've had the elbow drained last week, about half a large syringe of murky fluid came out. The doc injected my hand with anaesthetic then seemed to ream out the tendon sheaths with a needle. Now I am taking Serrapeptidase, an anti.inflammatory, and hoping it will improve.

posting trouble, will try to complete later.

I have some compression and support advice if you need it. Yeah, you are kind of screwed when fluid buildup occurs. You can't drain that at home. How is your arm wrapped and supported, if I may ask? Could you post a pic? Only if you are comfortable to do so.....

I figured you for more of a Top Gun type jet pilot.

I am an IFR pilot. <-- means you could paint the windows over and I could still fly somewhere and land. Nyah, Nyah.

OK FOLKS!! THIS AIN'T POLITICS!! BUT I AM TELLING YOU ALL TO NEVER PUT ON MASK AGAIN!!

(LATE EDIT ADD: It speaks well for the tough resistance kids have for medieval diseases! It is surprising there has not been (yet) a worldwide resurgence of friggin' plagues!)

https://www.americanthinker.com/blo...oss_than_the_masks_your_kids_are_wearing.html
"The parents were concerned about potential contaminants on the mask, which is why they contacted the University of Florida’s Mass Spectrometry Research and Education Center for analysis. Each mask sent to the lab had been either new or freshly laundered at the start of the day. Then, the kids and the adult wore them for five to eight hours. The kids, aged 6 through 11, wore their masks for in-person schooling. In addition, for each mask, the parents sent samples from a t-shirt that one of the children had been wearing. Three of the masks were surgical masks, two were cotton, and one was a poly gaiter."

They took clean, new masks of several kinds for their kids to wear with one adult wearing one (school). They wore them one day. This was what was found on them:

"...the analysis showed 11 dangerous pathogens on the masks:

• Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumonia)
• Mycobacterium tuberculosis (tuberculosis)
• Neisseria meningitidis (meningitis, sepsis)
• Acanthamoeba polyphaga (keratitis and granulomatous amebic encephalitis)
• Acinetobacter baumanni (pneumonia, blood stream infections, meningitis, UTIs—resistant to antibiotics)
• Escherichia coli (food poisoning)
• Borrelia burgdorferi (causes Lyme disease)
• Corynebacterium diphtheriae (diphtheria)
• Legionella pneumophila (Legionnaires’ disease)
• Staphylococcus pyogenes serotype M3 (severe infections—high morbidity rates)
• Staphylococcus aureus (meningitis, sepsis)

"Half of the masks were contaminated with one or more strains of pneumonia-causing bacteria. One-third were contaminated with one or more strains of meningitis-causing bacteria. One-third were contaminated with dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens. In addition, less dangerous pathogens were identified, including pathogens that can cause fever, ulcers, acne, yeast infections, strep throat, periodontal disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, and more."

"Just about the only thing that didn’t show up on the masks was COVID, even though the test was sensitive enough to have revealed COVID had it existed.

If you wear a mask after reading this, ask yourself why you are doing it.

Please spread this information. It is important.

 

[ROSTERMAN]

When we worn them I sprayed inside and outside with mist of 190 proof everclear alcohol.
Man what a rush , may be on to the next Tide Pod craze.

Where were the kids playing, Hopper's back yard? Surprised there wasn't a few social diseases mixed in.

The actual zero visibility instrument landing can be a challenge.

When we worn them I sprayed inside and outside with mist of 190 proof everclear alcohol.
Man what a rush , may be on to the next Tide Pod craze.

As my allergies have me breathing through my mouth this time of year, I washed it out periodically with 80 proof, to combat any Covid that got around the mask.

I guess now that mask mandates have been lowered, I will have to start wearing my teeth again................................

55F @ 76% RH, gaugus and predicted to reach 84F.

You ain't kidding. The final test flight exam for IFR requires this washer-biter. It is the only time I have done it. (I think I mighta peed a little. I KNOW the examining pilot did!)

"Washer biter" -- a flight situation wherein yer arsehole bites washers out of the seat.

flight simulation software developed today is awesome .. I prefer the p-51 escort packages

Just an aside, here is my Dad, a flyboy navigator--His nick was Horizontal Hale.

Even more strange, BBB delivered them insanely fast, like 2-3 days.

My only IFR landings were under a hood, with my trainer poised in the right seat.

I played with one computer program, but it didn't include rudder controls, so didn't feel real.

Even more strange, BBB delivered them insanely fast, like 2-3 days.

You velly rucky boy brother! I just checked BB&B on line and found jars, but not 1/2 pint wide mouth.

56F @ 65% RH, gorgeous and predicted to reach 83F.

Another protest, this one for Patrick Kimmons, a black gang member shot by police responding to another shooting that he allegedly was involved in, but his mother doesn't believe it, so it can't be true.

The Multnomah County DA dropped all civil unrest charges from protests and refused to prosecute them, while indicting a Portland Police rapid response member for assault, resulting in the entire rapid response team resigning.

I love that time of day after rain. The evening sun slants down, illuminating the soft green contours of the tits hills, strangely like mounded watermelons repeating in endless female forms...
