Oh man!

I got this in an email and thought I better pass it on. This just burns me up!

Queen Nancy:

Remember the big flap about Sarah Palin’s dresses? Americans! Where are you? Are you awake? We haven’t heard any comment on “Queen Madam” Pelosi’s snit about having to ride home in the small private, economy jet that comes with the Speaker’s job. Remember how Madame Pelosi was so aggravated that this little jet had to refuel while transporting her to California every week? Remember that she insisted on a luxurious 200 seat jet to fly her to California nonstop, instead?

Hello Folks! Are you awake? Can’t you muster even a little indignation?

Washington legislators who observed the Madam’s Big Fat jet grinned with glee as Joe Biden informed everyone that Nancy’s luxury Jet will require hard working American tax payers! , to buy thousands of gallons of expensive jet fuel every week. She only works 3 days a week but her gas guzzler luxury jet flights home, to California , costs taxpayers $60,000 one way! As Joe noted, ‘Unfortunately we have to pay to bring her back on Monday night,’ so there goes another $60,000.

Folks that is $480,000 per month or an annual cost to taxpayers of $5,760,000. And she complains about the cost of the war? She could take the smaller jet which she says would cramp her style — but since her flying in style takes precedence over war costs — what the hell, eh?

Military families in this country do without while this woman, who heads up the most do-nothing Congress in the history of our country, spends lavishly to fly herself and associates to and from California every week.

That burns me!! How about you?

Madame Pelosi expects you and me to conserve our carbon footprint by driving smaller cars and buying a bicycle pump to over-inflate our tires for better economy while she and her hypocrite cohorts waste tax payer dollars. Ticks me off mightily! How about you?

This should make you laugh!

I found this over on the blog LMAO

I will be checking in there quite often, now that I know about it!

Know Thy Enemy: Socialists

Posted by Frank J. at 12:10 pm

Socialists seems to be a rising problem in America, so I sent out my crack research staff to find out as much as they could about them. Here are their findings:

FUN FACTS ABOUT SOCIALISTS

* The first socialist was Thog the Puny, who never hunted but thought he should be in charge of how the kills were distributed. He was brutally clubbed to death by the other caveman, and no one blamed them.

* The name “Socialist” is kinda ironic since they’re not very social on account of everyone hating them.

* Much like the marriage of chocolate and peanut butter, socialism was made through the happenstance union of meddlesomeness and uselessness.

* The Founding Fathers originally wanted to put the proper punishment for socialists in the Constitution, but decided the phrase “musket to the junk” just wasn’t appropriate for the document.

* If you think you see a socialist, report him to the nearest business owner so he can club him to death.

* When socialism destroys the country, many terrorist groups will try to claim credit. Hey, if you want credit for it you better start registering Democrat right now, terrorists.

* Oh, you’re already on top of that.

* Using socialism to help revive a failing economy is like putting angry weasels down your pants because you need some rest.

* How do you tell a socialist from a communist? It what color they burn when you set them on fire.

* Socialists have a new weapon — the stimulus. With this, they’ll reward failing businesses with your money. And why won’t that work to help the economy? Capitalism!

* If you find yourself surrounded by socialists, don’t panic. Just try to find the first flight out of Europe.

* The socialists main friend is the deadbeat, someone just as lazy and useless as socialist but who never had the idea to turn that into a political ideology.

* Obama was first enchanted by the ideals of socialism when he took a economics class while coked out of his mind.

* There are a lot of socialists in the animal kingdom… no wait, not the animal kingdom. What kingdom are viruses in?

* In a fight between Aquaman and socialists, Aquaman will end up penniless and on the streets since all his money will have been taken away to pay for the mortgage Black Manta took out knowing full well he couldn’t afford it.

* If a socialist bites you, immediately clean and cauterize the wound before you lose half your income to lazy people.

* The socialist’s main weaknesses are actual work and ass-kickings.

* Oh, and clubs.

Frozen

Sue wanted to see pic’s of the frozen spillway at the dam so we drove over and snapped a few. Amazingly water is still running under the ice and snow. Didn’t find any frozen trout either.

Didja ever see a snowflower?

p3110012 Maybe it’s an ice flower. There were a bunch on the ice so I tried to get a real close picture. This one was about an inch long by a half inch wide.

By the way, Lou emailed me and said she had 25 below this morning, so I should quit whining. 🙂

Guess I inserted the ice flower twice. You can click on these pictures to make them bigger and if you click again the ice flower gets even bigger!

Cooooool!

Just got this in an email and thought I ought to share it.

God’s accuracy may be observed in the hatching of eggs.

For example:

-the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days;
-those of the canary in 14 days;
-those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;
-the eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;
-those of the mallard in 35 days;
-the eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42 days.
(Notice, they are all divisible by seven).

The lives of each of you may be ordered by the Lord in a beautiful way for His glory, if you will only entrust Him with your life. If you try to regulate your own life, it will only be a mess and a failure. Only the One Who made the brain and the heart can successfully guide them to a profitable end.

God’s wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant. The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in the same direction. No other quadruped is so made. God planned that this animal would have a huge body, too large to live on two legs. For this reason He gave it four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily.

The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs first. A cow rises from the ground with its two hind legs first. How wise the Lord is in all His works of creation!

God’s wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of sections and segments, as well as in the number of grains.

-Each watermelon has an even number of strips on the rind.
-Each orange has an even number of segments.
-Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.
-Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.
-Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even number of bananas, and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an even number and the next row an odd number.

The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six times to the minute in all kinds of weather.

All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks, and the Lord specified thirty fold, sixty fold, and a hundredfold – all even numbers.

God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times during the day, so that Linneus, the great botanist, once said that if he had a conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture and temperature, he could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that were open and those that were closed!

Thus the Lord in His wonderful grace can arrange the life that is entrusted to His care in such a way that it will carry out His purposes and plans, and will be fragrant with His presence.

Only the God-planned life is successful. Only the life given over to the care of the Lord is Safe.

9 below

Zero when I walked out at 7:30 this morning. Sure glad I fed everything as good as I did yesterday.

I hope this is the last shot of Arctic blast we get this winter/spring.

Still wintery

It was 4 below at 7 when I walked out to plug in the tractor. About 6 inches of snow. Supposed to get up to 10 for a high today and 15 tomorrow and then warm up in the 40’s. I think I want the 40’s!

But I do appreciate the snow. Ought to have plenty of moisture for a good start this spring when it does warm up and stays warm.

Got to see something yesterday I have never seen before. Our big dam has been running over the spillway and it was frozen over. In 51 years, I don’t think that has ever happened before.

Brrrr, again!

High of 10 today. Snow blowing in from the north pretty vertical.

Got the cows fed and then Gramma and I went to Punkin center for some lick barrels for the cows and horses and we ate lunch at the cafe with some neighbors. Just as we were leaving the house, the mail came and there was a letter for Chance and Hope so we stopped at their house on the way home and dropped it off. I was smart enough to take the camera so got some shots of Gus and Sam.

So cute, must be related to me! 🙂

When Hope had Gus at the hospital last week, he saw that huge puppy and wanted it. Hope distracted him and got him away from it. Pretty soon here came a male RN with it and handed it to Gus. Hope couldn’t figure out why. We all figured the guy was hitting on Gus’s mom. She claims she never thought of that!

Yeah, right!

So he now packs his little horse, blanket and this huge puppy! I don’t think he will be staying with grampa and gramma ’til he gives up something!

Hoarfrost

Oh boy!

Last summer, an evil person who works with Cindy sent a female cat home with her. She was about half grown and Cindy named her Daisy, seeing as our male cat is named Cooter. (he came with the name)

Daisy is quite the mouser and has laid several dead mice at our feet, so to speak, so I have put up with her evil, sharp clawed ways. But Daisy went outside visiting and soon became an unwed, pregnant, soon to be mother. Guess what?!

Yup about 3 a.m. this morning, we weer wakened to the sound of a kitten mewing. When we turned on the lights, here was Daisy, in our bed, having kittens. I am a relatively patient man when it comes to animals, as is Cindy, but a cat having kittens in our bed is not something we think of as fun and exciting!

Cindy promptly got a towel and removed the kitten and then came back for the cat, who had already had another. Cindy moved them to a more appropriate spot. I took the blankets off and changed them and started the blanket washing process. What a fun thing to do at 3 in the morning! (government time, seeing as we just changed the clocks last night, so it was really 2 a.m. !)

As of now, the cat and however many kittens she had, are somewhere hidden in the stuff in my leather shop. I hope she doesn’t ruin any expensive leather!

And Tyler, I know you are chortling and laughing as you read this. Say some prayers young man, say some prayers!

Water!

I caught a ride to town with the neighbor lady who works where Cindy does. She goes on as Cindy is going off shift, so it’s pretty handy. Cindy and I went up to Spearfish and got a load of wood pellets for the stove. Wandered and looked a little, then grabbed a sandwich, some groceries and came home. From the road it looked like the big dam was running over the spillway so we drove up to look and could hardly drive out of the yard for all the mud. The dam was running over ,but we didn’t see any little trout swimming downstream, so hopefully there will be some still in there to catch and eat. Guess I should find some chicken wire and put across the spillway.

I plugged the tractor in this morning when I got up and after a bit I will see if I can get up to the cows and give them some hay, as it is not going to be real nice today or tomorrow. Kind of froze on top right now so I probably can get there but I can only feed in one spot as I don’t think the cows will come to the crossing as the water is running pretty hard, or at least it was last night. Little boggy to make the team pull a bale up there.

Heres some pictures of the boys playing in an empty cupboard.
