If you leave precut melon from wegmans in it’s plastic container for about 2.5 weeks in the fridge, it turns to about 150 proof. I was a bit too adventurous today in tasting the stuff in the back. Yowzers. Now I see how they make prison wine. Just let fruit sit! Time to clean out fridge.

It didn't take the mother very long to file a law suit . Who didn't know that was coming !

From someone that deals with individuals acting like this on a nearly daily basis I’ll say this. Restraints and less than lethal force are for the officers safety and the offenders. If the officers let her continue to flail and carry on in the car she could have hurt herself, or the cop car. A cop is completely justified in using less than lethal to help prevent either of those instances. If she was trying to hurt the officers they were justified in using less than lethal force to prevent physical harm to themselves. A kick to the dink hurts no matter how old the person kicking is. Its easy to Monday morning quarterback. Everyone that watched the nfc game last week was screaming at the tv when Rogers had the ball on 3rd and goal when he threw into double coverage instead of running it in. The difference is Rogers has practiced that moment for probably 35 years and still made the wrong decision. The officer probably has minimal if any training in how to deal with a deranged 9yr old. It’s hard to imagine a need to pepper spray a 9yr old but none of us were there. If the cops pulled her from the car to protect her or the vehicle and used body holds many of you would be saying the same things about how an officer could use physical force on a 9yr old girl. We put officers in shitty situations daily, its getting worse by the day. Many departments are grossly understaffed due to difficulties in recruiting. Honestly who in the hell wants to be a cop in today’s world. This causes many officers to work forced over time. I don’t know how many of you have worked multiple 60-80 hour work weeks back to back but I can promise you that your mental acuity isn’t there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sitting in my garage. Lol. I just texted the seller that this is a whole different animal than my first raptor. It truly feels like a race truck. It just wants to go. And it’s really nicely appointed inside. No regrets. plus I was invited on a CO elk hunt with the seller. Lol

Heading to WV tomorrow to pick up the successor to the original sissy truck. Different color, Gen 2 and lots more HP and Torque. Should be fun. But don’t worry, the Barbie Jeep is staying despite @Biz-R-OWorld and @sodfather ‘s efforts to sabotage it.

What's your definition of a "trained adult"? How many classes and seminars and college degrees does one require to be properly trained to manage a situation like this? Apparently none in your view. Please, tell us how you and your partner would have gotten her a little further into the car? Before you do though, let me give you my first hand example of a similar situation. At one time my ex wife and I were foster parents. We attended classes (trained) for 12 weeks before being approved to take in children. We also had two children of our own. Once approved we fostered several different children ranging in age from infants to age 12 or so. Some individuals, some family groups. Some relatively easy to foster, some more difficult. We'd been foster parents for less than 6 months when CPS called and asked us to foster "A", a 7 yo boy. We agreed of course. I won't get into all of the details but I will say this. "A" was a very disturbed young man and when he left us after a short stay it took FIVE "trained" adults over 4 hours to get "A" in the car for transport to the hospital. I repeat. FIVE adults. 4 hours. One 7 year old boy. One social worker, one police officer, two paramedics and one doctor. "A" threw himself out of a moving car suffering injuries, ran through town in traffic, severely injured the social worker's hand and violently kicked, screamed and resisted until finally being restrained (hands and feet) and sedated. A terrible, terrible episode for all involved, none more than "A". I'm sure those LEOs had "training" at some point in their career. Should they have broken out the training manual in the street and referred to the section on physically belligerent children before putting her in the car? Called a superior for permission before they sprayed her? I make no judgement on the actions of the officers in the video because I was not present that day. But to suggest that you, or anyone else with NO training whatsoever, when placed in the same scenario, would have managed the situation better is demeaning to the officers who responded that day.

We all know your heat is downstairs anyways Dan!!!

And she still thought I should give it a go , I fight an uphill battle here . Awhile back Romain lettuce was recalled for E. coli , she would not ,let me throw out ours as we already had some and didn’t die I guess . This is what I get for marring a farm girl who had no heat upstairs in her house and you couldn’t take a shower because the cows got the water first .

During the siege on the capital, Trump addressed the rioters by telling them that they’re ‘special’ and ‘we love you’. After being savaged in the press and both parties, he condemned the attack.

My response is to you, thinking that was actually hard to watch. I've seen principles in catholic school treat students that fell asleep in class with worse punishment and then those students got their asses beat at home for it too. I came from a different time, when people were held accountable for their actions and the police weren't called because a 9 year old is acting out, they were called for real problems. If I did something wrong, I got disciplined by my parents. If I didn't, I didn't and life went on. Now it's the nanny state, full of a bunch of pansy ass pussies that think their supposed to be friends, not parents to their children and the police are supposed to fill the authoritarian role and discipline their children. Well, this is what happens sometimes. This isn't the cops fault, it's the demented societies fault.

During the height of yesterdays blizzard , these gobblers looked like they wanted to come in. Felt a little bad for them because they were having a hard time walking around. I didn't see any today.

I will give someone a pull, as long as there is something to actually hitch to AND they hitch the chain themselves.

Doesn’t work with frozen asparagus though . I was going to make “ my “ pasta dish the other night, but we lacked fresh asparagus, well the Mrs said there’s a bag in the freezer , not wanted to go to the store for fresh I pulled it out . It was all dried up, and when I tasted it impossible to chew , best by date ? 2009 ........

Sit back with a cold one and kick back after all the work. I get lots of snow up here on the Chautauqua Ridge. We have several of the lake effects every year with a couple of feet over a day or so, I know where you are coming from. My best investment ever was a snow blower for the tractor, 6' wide. Not being a wiseguy, but it is nice not to get buried and let somebody else get it for a change. Wife and I talked about moving someplace with less harsh winter, but the summers here are fantastic!

Lol, you’ve said some stupid shit but comparing cooking someone’s dinner to being a cop is pretty ignorant, even for you. When those steaks start having the ability to kill you at any second and while your every move is being recorded and scrutinized by the mass’s come talk to me! Until then stay in the kitchen big boy.

The Long March to Restore the Second Amendment in New York by Stephen P. Halbrook - Tuesday, January 26, 2021 Timothy “Big Tim” Daniel Sullivan (1862-1913) (right), a New York City politician, in 1911, pushed the Sullivan Act through the City’s legislature-an unconstitutional infringement on our rights. “I grew up at a time when people were not afraid of people with firearms. I used to travel on the subway from Queens to Manhattan with a rifle. Could you imagine doing that today in New York City?” So recalled U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia about his days as a schoolboy on a rifle team. Scalia’s experience reflected a long tradition. For example, Gen. George W. Wingate, president of the N.Y. Public Schools Athletic League, wrote an essay titled Why School Boys Should Be Taught to Shoot? (1907). President Teddy Roosevelt wrote an afterword for it congratulating the New York pupil who was the best shot of the year. The National Rifle Association was chartered in New York in 1871 by Gen. Wingate and Col. William Church for the purpose of promoting marksmanship. The New York legislature accommodated the NRA by funding a range at Creedmoor, Long Island. The right to bear arms was respected in those days. The 1828 N.Y. Civil Rights Law, which is still on the books, states: “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms cannot be infringed.” The state did not forbid carrying unlicensed, concealed pistols until 1881, while open carry went unregulated. The Sullivan Law of 1911 was the first law in any state to require a license just to keep a pistol in the home. Carrying was banned without a license—and commoners need not apply. When the law could not be repealed, the NRA turned to the courts. In Moore v. Gallup, a veteran appealed the denial of a license to carry a pistol for lack of “good cause.” The New York appeals court affirmed the denial in 1943. An amicus brief was filed by New York attorney and former NRA president Karl T. Frederick on behalf of the NRA, and another amicus brief was filed for the Forbes Rifle & Pistol Club (which still exists today). The judge who denied the license said it would be a bad precedent “if all citizens of good moral character were to be licensed to carry pistols” for target practice. The appeals court held that the Second Amendment protects “weapons of warfare to be used by the militia,” including “rifles and muskets ... but not pistols,” which “are habitually carried by ... gangsters.” Of course, if pistols were not habitually carried by law-abiding citizens, it was because it was illegal to do so. A dissenting judge opined that the law violated the right to bear arms. Referring to the danger of an enemy attack—German U-Boats had sunk scores of ships off the coast and landed saboteurs on Long Island—he said that “a man of the type of this petitioner who could shoot with accuracy, would be a more useful citizen than one who, if attacked, could only throw a bootjack at his assailant.” While the NRA amicus brief in the above case could not be located, it undoubtedly made arguments based on the Second Amendment and the need to train citizens to shoot, as the NRA long advocated. A New York court held in 1958 that the Sullivan Law did not restrict rifles because of the Second Amendment and the Civil Rights Law. Fast forward to 1991, when New York City banned “assault weapons” like the M1 Garand. In Richmond Boro Gun Club v. City of NY, an NRA-supported challenge, the City admitted that banned rifles had not been used in crime in the City. That made no difference to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in upholding the ban. The NRA supported a challenge to NY State’s “SAFE Act” in NY State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Cuomo, relying on the Heller decision holding that the Second Amendment protects firearms in common use. In 2015, the Second Circuit upheld the ban without a word about why these rifles presented any more danger than others. That brings us to NYSRPA v. City of N.Y., another NRA-supported case, in which the Second Circuit upheld the City’s ban on transporting a handgun away from home. The right to bear arms was trumped by speculation about possible road rage. When the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the case, the City made a stingy amendment to the law, inducing the Court to then decline the case. For decades, the NRA has fought New York diktats tooth-and-nail, always against anti-Second Amendment courts. But, as a result of President Donald J. Trump’s judicial appointments, the Second Circuit has been flipped to a majority of Republican-appointed judges. And the appointment of Amy Coney Barrett to the U.S. Supreme Court fuels hope that the Second Amendment might not continue being treated as a second-class right, even in New York. Attorney Stephen Halbrook has won gun cases in the U.S. Supreme Court, is a senior fellow with the Independent Institute and is author of The Founders’ Second Amendment and Gun Control in Nazi-Occupied France.

This was on Oneida lake Diehards site yesterday. They are def getting into some big perch this year.

Fully offset by the new survival lint business.

Glad they arrived! The arrow is pointing to polished agate...there are many types of agate...think those are fire agate. I was a bit rushed when I put the package together and may have missed some other labels ...some of my favorites I sent included the bag of petrified wood (polished) and the dinosaur poop (unpolished)...that one should be easy to wire. If the Buffalo Geological Society has its show this year at the Erie County fairgrounds (typically mid-late March), they sometimes have wiring classes...and there will be lots of supplies available. Enjoy and please send me some Picts of your work down the road. (and let me know if you have any other ID questions).

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/myanmar-coup-united-nations-biden-china-russia/ The article states “Some experts mentioned that... Trump, who refused to admit his election defeat and reportedly incited the Capitol riots, might be the Myanmar military's inspiration," it wrote.” Sure, blame President Trump. Looks like we are going back to the eight years of the Obama Administration where every problem was President George W. Bush’s fault. Now its "Trump's" fault. The article states “CBS News asked on the Tuesday call if, given the Myanmar military's claims to have acted in response to election fraud, the U.S. officials believed the Burmese commanders might have been emboldened by the false claims of fraud in the U.S. election. The officials did not comment.” So “Burmese commanders might have been emboldened by the false claims of fraud in the U.S. election” to have a military coup?

Germany tried to go renewable on their power sources. They out their nuclear plants and put up wind and solar. The electric bill for the common household went up 375 percent ! now they are building modern coal plants to make up the difference . There are tons of articles about this . The wind turbines only produce less than 30 percent of what they claim are rated for. Not only did they not produce the rated power , they were also destroying the landscape and the environment . The cutting of all the trees to make the access roads and the pads have deteriorated the hillsides
