Island Of Misfits

[Tattered Old Graywolf]

63F @ 91% RH, 5 mph wind with rain, and predicted to reach 64F with good air quality.

Portland is pissed and not taking street and bridge shutdowns for street racing and drifting any more. We passed a city ordinance banning it. Good they came up with a workable solution without bruising anyone's sensibilities.

Two shootings, with four injured. We are probably going to pass a city ordinance banning that also.

Burglary suspect stands police off throwing knives and a hatchet, while threatening them with a Japanese Wakizashi short sword. That may already be against the law, given that he was a convicted felon.

I ran another distillation experiment by which I saturated the starting solution with salt, to raise the boiling point of the water in an attempt to increase the proof of the alcohol distilled off. One pass got me to 140 proof, vis a vis 130 proof, so wasn't wildly successful.

all theatrics for attention and money

Probably got out of the country in Texas.....open border and it works both ways.

Kinda tickled me when they said that they're going to make vaccine jabs a requirement for foreigners coming into the US from overseas. I'd just buy a plane ticket to Mexico and walk across!

Good morning

going to try and set up a second appointment to see another dermatologist for a second opinion......I don’t like the first opinion.....maybe get some blood work done today while I am at it

but first some coffee

I have heard NY is firing medical workers who refuse the Jab soon and bring in the National Guard to replace them, so they will all be going to the VA soon.

Good luck with the second opinion brother!

53F @ 91% RH, more rain, and only predicted to reach 57F, with good air quality. Lots of heavy rain yesterday and its predicted to continue through Saturday, though at a lighter rate.

The house is down to 66F this morning, but I didn't turn on the furnace yet, and instead switched to flannel lined jeans. It looks like it warms back up some tomorrow.

16 separate shooting incidents in Portland over the weekend............ About time to pass a city ordinance banning gun violence.

After dropping off a blood sample at Legacy Lab, yesterday was a day of puttering, reading, and dog walking between deluges. An empty calendar today, so who knows what I will get into???

Complete crap. They need to forget feelings and get out the fire hoses and attack dogs. In the 60's and 70's this would have been cleared up fast. National guard, the works. 6 pm curfew, royal beatdowns freely passed out.

I was pissed as I didn't care for the govmt sending me to die In a rice Paddy for General Dynamics to keep on keeping on. These guys? They are mad because they are in a bad need of a good ass kicking.

Now that Portland has passed and ordinance against shutting down streets for racing and drifting, they are starting to take positive steps to address it. Police actually responded to to the calls reporting them, and impounded some vehicles and made some arrests.

Hats off to our astute mayor and commissioners for their insightful solution of passing an ordinance that solved the problem. I guess we will now see if the DA will prosecute, or decline....

50F @ 93RH, partially cloudy and predicted to reach 64F with good air quality. Alas I turned the furnace on for the first time this year this morning with the house at 62F.

Cleaning ladies are due today, so me and the slick sly pup are off to Fernhill off leash dog park for some quality socializing this morning.

Detroit is having an issue with street racing right now. Their solution is to start installing speed humps throughout the neighborhoods and the city. I can see this working but it will cost a lot of money in installs and upkeep. It may solve the localized issues though. I imagine the races will just move elsewhere as well.

We have lots of speed bumps on residential streets, but they are taking over arterials and bridges.

I would be remiss to not cop to my share of stop light street racing, but we didn't flaunt it by blocking off streets and bridges to do so.

56F @ 74% RH, cloudy, and predicted to reach 60F with good air quality.

One death by gunfire and three other non injury shootings. The only saving grace to this rash of gunfire, is that like the bad asses on TV, it is mostly fire for effect, cause they can't shoot for shit.

Two people treated and one hospitalized from contact with "tainted" money at a local bank. Some sort of chemical irritant, as of yet not identified.

Oregon population has increased to the point where we get another representative and of course gerrymanding has reared its ugly head as we redistrict.

An empty calendar today so I plan to return to my acoustical dry sieving experiment. I got sidetracked before finishing it first time around, but have some better material to run with the 10" woofer drive, and have a sub woofer seat shaker to try in leu of the woofer.

52F @ 96% RH, cloudy, and predicted to reach 66F with good air quality.

Five shooting incidents in 12 hours, with one wounded and one dead. Since our city officials continue to prove themselves inadequate for dealing with the drug and human trafficking gangs, or their turf battles, I'm considering offering shooting lessons to gangbangers, so that they hit what they are shooting at and spray out fewer indiscriminate bullets. Maybe some Marine Corps rifleman training, so they can limit a kill to one bullet.

Didn't make much progress on my acoustical sieving project due to a couple sidetracks. The first was an invite to breakfast at the Tin Shed with an old friend, followed by discovering one of Grayfox's visiting friends, whom I detest, broke the flush mechanism on the toilet, by pushing down so hard on the handle that she broke the arm off against the underside of the lid, and twisted the handle grommet about thirty degrees. She then left without saying a word. Grayfox of course tried to defend her, because she knows I despise her, which of course redirected my anger to Grayfox, pissing me off even further.

Soooo I went shopping for parts before I said something I would regret later and by the time I obtained a replacement oiled bronze toilet handle assembly and installed it, I was in a better frame of mind, but more inclined to dab, dog walk, and read that be creative. I did find all the components but the signal generator, which I borrowed for the original experiment to determine the most effective frequencies, but having determined it to be bass, I'll use a JVC R-X500 receiver and a Sony TA-AX500 amplifier for a selection of music.
