Greetings and Salutations! OK First off: A short blegg tonight. My toofuses HURT to the point of distraction. Being out of my oxy and not being able to get quality dental care due to the substandard “Dental Insurance” that the People’s Glorious Tractor Factory provides is a capper.
To the point I might just go down to Mexico.
Seems there’s some dental clinics that don’t try to analy rape you in getting your grill adjusted. Specifically American Biodental in of all places, Tijuana. The reports online say it’s legit upfront and cost effective. This is not a backing nor promotion. Just a place I found during my research on cost-effective fang-treatment, as MINE are seriously fucked up.
To the point of not being able to enjoy my chow man…
And y’all know what a chow-daddy I am. This’s worse than a pussy-drought. Lackonookie I can deal with Not eating great or even good food? Oh fuck that sideways!!!
I’ve got two shattered and broken toofuses, and one that I think has an old filling that’s worked loose. I’ve got a LOT of dental pain… shit that cannot be let go. Maaaaaaan I took such good care of my grill, only for things to be derailed by a corrupt Dentist who fucked me over faaaaar before I could know what this fucker had done.
I wish I knew where he was buried I’d drop a HUGE LOAF on his grave. Well deserved… the fucker…
For those of you new here, my ‘pediatric dentist’ shortly AFTER All my ‘adult toofuses’ grew in told MomUnit and DeadDad that I had a total of 12 cavities. Three on each side, uniform. Left and right upper, three each.
Far be it from MomUnit and DeadDad to question the dentist… I took a LOT of shit about NOT brushing and how each filling was $50 each (around 1978 $$$) which meant real money.
So I went thru the torture…
Seems it came out after his arrest that he wasn’t even using novocaine… just distilled water… this guy was Mengele Junior apparently….that ALL of us were being essentially tortured via toofus shit during allllllll them fucking 12 fillings.
ALL the fillings were mercury amalgam (which would account for me being certifiably insane) and it turns out I didn’t have cavities… this fucker got caught, got indicted, and suicided while out on bail
Yes Yes I DO need to desecrate his grave in the future As my current mouth issues are ALL due to his bullshit. I’d even dig him up IF I thought I could to burn his corpse AND Piss on the bones. FUCK THAT GUY FOREVER So that’s my mindset tonight. Lots of personal pain. Dealing with it, and rolling So More Later Big Country
Greetings and Salutations! So the latest is that dumb motherfucker in Minneapolis who got turned from a ‘bad protester’ into ‘good dead meat/organ donor’ with one simple trick. That being pulling a gun out in the middle of a contentious arrest with already nervous FedGov Agents.
I have a vid that shows clearly when the dumb sonofabitch pulled out his weapon. The full vid courtesy of Lord Bebo shows the whole thing:
Dammit, it won’t let me embed. Anyways The key pics are here at about 17 seconds in. Female (who’s ‘obstructing’) gets physically pushed out of the way… like HARD. White Knightman, soon to be known as “Sir DeadMeat” goes in to interfere with the cuffing and stuffing of said female… at 17+ seconds after being pepper sprayed, “Sir DeadMeat” takes something out of his pocket, and from my highly trained Mark One Mod One Eyeball, it’s a handgun:
Yeah… That’s a piece IMO. MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION MIND YOU Home boy got pepper sprayed, and skinned his smoke-wagon.
Well… you just don’t do that in a ‘scrum’ with nervous federales that You AND Your bois have been screaming about shooting in the face… they scrum a bit, and ‘suddenly’ once the boys in blue realize that there’s guns in play, well they do what they do, which is fall back and mag dump.
By my count, at least 11 rounds fired ALL off them IMO legit.
See… you cannot go to these “protests” armed and do something stupid like pull out a gun, and not expect to become a perforated piece of dead animal flesh. I mean FFS… are you kidding me???
MY reaction is that homie pulled out his gat without rationally realizing that he was surrounded by nervous as fuck Fedbois…
Me? If… and only IF I was dumb enought o be in such a situation, I’d be like very loudly “CAN I DROP MY FIREAM AND PLEASE DON’T SHOOT ME!?!”
But this asshole? Notsomucho And got made into an organ donor because of it.
Via Con Dios Asshole. You earned those bonus points.
Now how they (the Pantifags and Retards) ‘amp this’ will be interesting. The point being is that -so far- those who’ve been legit shot (California in LA and this asshole) were fucking armed, which negates any argument after the fact… The clown who got shot using a vehicle?
Dumb slut got what she deserved. I mean I’m done with excuses. The FedGov needs to declare a state of insurrection and allow people like you and me to go out and ‘clean house’ overall
Greetings and Salutations! Well, THAT escalated quickly:
Now we’re into the nitty-gritty of currency
Me? I sold off 3 individual grams of gold yesterday when silver was under $99 and reinvested it to oz coins.
Not a bad play IMO. I got $157 per gram (individual) and ended up with 4oz of Silver Rounds
Which today already in many respects paid off already. NOW Next on the list:
Things are ‘squirrelly’ to say the least. My Mining stonks are doing well for me… I’m back on the positive side of the investment, but that don’t mean shytte long term.
MY question is what I’m looking at with my last bit of actual gold. I have a 1/10oz Canadian Maple Leaf. Numismatically it’s about $700. HOWEVER this market seems to ONLY be dealing with spot.
And who can blame them. Coin collecting is nice, and it’s good when the coin limitations and valuations are limited. However… during volatility timeframes like this? Spot is IT. The end-all-be-all
Hence my divestures of the gold 3 individual gram? Nice for the long run In a collapse? Nosomucho People are going to be like “Uh… yeah… a single gram of gold… BFD… what else you got?” with the follow on attempted loot grab and violence.
Better to keep the goldbacks (which yet may take on a valuation in common fashion) AND/OR as I’m doing, which is divest the gold in favor of a more recognizable and intuitive valuation from the morons I might have to deal with Post Fiat-Bux situations…
Tough call…
But I do know that 8 months ago I bought (against my inner voice and Sapper’s advise) a roll of near-uncirculated Mercury 90% dimes… $5 worth… at $265 for the roll. The rationale was that silver was looking at an upswing (I had no idea how correct I was in that) and that I could do the “Sezzle Finance” thing of $64+/- a month for a few months…
The same exact roll is NOW selling for $499.99 each
Sometimes you get lucky.
So make of it what you will Me? I plan on making more $$ on my trades IF I can. And BTW: It’s the Nukular Redhead’s Eighth Birfday today! OMFG WHen the hell did they grow up so quickly???
Greetings and Salutations! Well I hope people are pleased with the beginning of the Library. I haven’t even really gotten a full grip on just -how much shit- I’ve accumulated/stored over the past few years.
Crawling through 4tb of ‘stuff’ is a bit of a slog
Especially when I have to do it bit-by bit … Or would that be ‘byte by byte’? Gah! John Wilder levels of humor? I must be losing it.
Either way, the Smoke recibees are now non-password locked. I completely forgot about that. My bad. All the rest -should- be good. I mean hey… One oops out of how much so far? Not a bad track record FWIW IMO.
Now…the Tactical Hermit put it up on his place, and used and sent me a magnificent logo that I’m going to use myself as the root on the shoulder of this place. It too is a work-in-progress, so please bear that in mind. I’m no code-monkey by far and it takes me a while to figure a LOT of this stuff out.
Other mindful/needful things… hmmn
Silver has broken loose, and looks like it’s going to STAY above the $95 marker for now. There are soooo many things that’re adding to the fun, but one thing I can say is that -I- have no idea what the end game is going to be. I have stated before that holding onto your Silver is a great idea BUT it becomes a question of ‘when’ does one try for the exit(s)?
Many folks keep talking about how precious metals are a ‘safe parking spot’ for your ‘wealth’… While I agree, the issue is that this means one has enough wealth to be able to store some of said-wealth in PMs. Meaning you have enough dough to be ABLE to ‘park’ your $$$ in a metal that literally does nothing UNLESS you sell/barter/trade said precious metal.
Which means you still have enough $$$ to keep doing the ‘day-to-day’ purchases, like groceries/gas/goodies… the ‘usual’ so to speak.
Most of us normies don’t have enough $$$ to do these things.
Hell… the little I do have has been bought over a number of decades one lil bar/coin/oz at a time…or gifted to me by some of you awesome folks… and even then, SOME of those purchases meant that it’d be Ramen for a week until the next paycheck comes in as opposed to NY Strip. Looking back now, I realize I did the right thing.
Now it’s all about the timing. Because as I stated before, it’s when you leave the party that counts. Personally, I’d prefer to hit the exit BEFORE either the “cops pull a raid on the the “party” which in this case it’d be a nationalization like that Gottverdammt piece of shit Roosevelt did OR the “house” collapses under its own rotten weight, meaning a full on economic collapse.
Because I’d suuuure like to reinvest the fiatbux into something a bit more practical… like the previously mentioned M-249S OR another toy I found again which is actually a wee bit on the inexpensive side (compared to a Semiauto SAW):
They run about $6500 +/- IF they’re in stock. The Semiauto SAW? The M-249S Model? $15k IF you can find it as well…
Now… Granted… I would positively love a SAW. That was my primary weapon in the DotMil. I was always a Machine-gunner, be it on the M-60 or the M-249. TBH, I’m sort of glad I got out before the M-240 came out… Don’t get me wrong… it’s a fantastic weapon, especially in its original configuration, meaning with the wood buttstock.
See, part of the requirement for the adoption of the FN-MAG was that the stocks had to be chemical proof as in NCB proof. Hence the plastic stock. Wood unfortunately can absorb a lot of bad things even if it has a nice finish on it. Because of this, the M-240 suffers from some serious nose-heaviness, so badly that I am NOT a fan of it.
In general I personally think they need to go back to the venerable M-60… the new-new version that some companies have made utilizing ALL the new-tech metallurgy and ¡SCIENCE! that went into the ‘new builds’ I mean there’s plenty of YouTube vids of guys hammering away, 10,000… 20,000 rounds non-friggin’-stop on one of those new M-60s… without a SINGLE malfunction nor barrel overheat/meltdown. Seems it’s the M-60E6
Bullet Hose INDEED!
In fact if I were to ever be in the enviable position of having “Fuck You Money” I could easily see myself owning two or a dozen of those bad bois.
And on that note… MUSIC BREAK!
I found this bit of weirdness for you all:
OK… Wild shit. Personally I get a kick out of the old guy at 3:11… just jammin’ his socks off… I mean wow… crazy right?
Russian and Eastern Euro musical performances are just soooo off the wall… as I’ve posted about before, there’s that weird dude Vitas:
Seems he was BIG-BIG in Russia for quite a while… his star has faded a bit, but he still DID do a set with Snoop Dog live at one point, so you have to hand it to him… his weird falsetto voice is wild too… there’s a video of him at home on his farm where he does that strange ‘trilling’ noise at his Turkeys of all things, and they responded to him… Cracked me the fuck up.
The other one that leaps to mind is Winny Puhh which is an Estonian metal/punk group…. Waitaminute… Estonia!?!
What the actual fuck? Yeah… that’s from the 2013 Eurovision Music Competition.
They look like a deranged Wookie Wrestling Team or something… key words “…or something.“
I figured we could use us a laugh or three, as such things being so utterly weird and fucked in general.
The only thing NOT completely hosed is the price of silver, which is headed to $100 (despite all ETF attempts to the contrary)… seems the financial house of cards is teetering and Joe Sixpack is starting to finally wake up. I mean if the prices at the grocery store don’t tell the tale, then I have no idea what’s going to wake up people…
Sapper just spent $150 on what essentially is a week worth of chow for the two of us. And we had $66 in ‘freebies’ in that we got a bunch of BOGOs… we even limited some of the ‘stuff’ we got b/c the prices were just too damned high, and I guess we’ll make do until either some of these things go on sale, OR I get some side-hustle $$$ in… the ad revenue for the Goolag for this place -should- be in in a day or two, provided I broke the $100 limit.
Traffic as of late (per the ad revenue) has been sooooo low as opposed to the good ole days. Shadowbanning IS a real issue, ever since I got ID’d as a ‘noticer’… Thankfully I don’t rely this ‘stuff’ as a sole income.. I can see why some folks completely become unhinged if and when they “catch a case” so to speak from the Goolag Eye-of-Sauron. I mean long ago, in a land far, far away my ad revenue was around $300-400 a month.
Now? I’m lucky to hit $100…
And yet according to the ‘stats’ I can see, and the reason I’m sure there is fuckery afoot, is that I’m STILL getting around the same number of hits I used to back when it was the Days of Wine and Roses. It’s that the income has fallen off a cliff…
Meh… Goolag Fuckery at its Finest.
What else can I say? At least I occasionally share some stuff with y’all on the ‘Zon and get a ‘taste’ if you will, the BIGGEST by far was the MREs when they were selling at insanely low prices. THAT right there? According to the ‘Zon, I sold a metric fuckton of MREs.
Then lastly, I’m still ‘solvent’ in the Stonks. I haven’t made anything… well I have, but I haven’t. I took a $10 loss last week combined that I rebounded from today. I’m now at $151.87 at last check at the end of the day.
THAT is why I don’t “stonk” The last time I did, I had completely forgotten about it… it was some Medical Marijuana company that went public… I bought in, and it completely cratered like a motherfucker within 8 months… It was only $100 I put in, so meh… but it told me to stay the fuck OUT of the Market in general… The stuff I have right now?
ENDEAVOUR SILVER COR symbol EXK closed at $12.34 and then KUYA SILVER CORP NEW symbol KUYAF closed at $0.70
BOTH are silver mining concerns, and I’m just going to let them sit there forever and see what they do. Right now, I’m just loooooooooong in them like a motherfucker. No other plans a’tall…
Lastly, I got ONE last stonk that’s not mine related:
ONDAS INC symbol ONDS closed at $13.24
It’s a drone-related company. I figure anything drone related, especially DotMil Defense Drone related? Well it -should- do well in the long term. That being said is that last week, it did sort of shit itself (no idea as to the nature of the ‘why’ but it closed Friday at $12.16, opened today at $11.86, and as you see, did a neat recovery.
There ARE others I researched but didn’t have the $$$ to get in on… like AVAV, another drone stonk that when I started watching these things the first week of January, that one was at $250+/-. It’s been up and down, down today in particular, however, it closed at $332.33… Just too rich for my blood.
TBH, I’d be doing just as well throwing random darts at the stonk pages in the Wall Street Journal I’d wager. It is what it is, and I for damned sure am NOT anyone to take investment advice from.
So that’s what I got for tonight. OH! and BTW: I’ll be adding more to the library as I rediscover various things… to include some forbidden fiction and whatnot.
Greetings and Salutations! I’ve been (and still am) working on a project. And tonight is the big reveal!
Specifically a Folder on a Cloud-Based Drive that I’ve been stuffing a lot of my goodies in.
To share with all of y’all Degenerates.
It took me a loooooong minute to put together the Flammenwerfer Instructions Folder. Ever since I scrubbed Ye Olde Blegg of some of the earlier content, I had to do a virtual machine to get a load up, and then dismount and convert ALL the instructionals into a dot-docx format. Never mind gathering all of the pictures from both MY sources and other sources out there.
And since DiveMedic is my host-with-the-most, I had to set it up on the Cloud, lest I crash his server again (Sorry about that bro!) Once I got everything together, I then had to hunt down in the darkened corners of this PC (4 terabytes worth of shit, all cross-referenced and in some cases buried to where even I have had trouble finding them again.
I did find my OPFOR War Manual collection. That folder is in there as well. LOTS of interesting stuff in there, and all of it is “Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited” so no worries about getting hemmed up for anything secret-squirrel being on there.
So, Please Bookmark It AND let me know if you have any issues with it, either downloading or any corrupt files. I let the Tactical Hermit and WiscoDave dig into it as a test today, and TH said it’s good to go. WiscoDave hasn’t gotten back to me, so y’all can let me know either way.
Shit like this WILL be on the Final Exam. And a lot of it is still yet to come. YEARS of my ‘stuff’ All for the sharing and the downloading
For “educational purposes” of course. So welcome to
And any of you fellow Bloggers, feel free to link to it as well. I’ll be adding to it as we go along, and the folder names will give you an idea of what’ll be in it….
3D Print Files Weapons Manuals Survival and Medical Guides Intel Gathering
All the really good stuff I’ll also do ‘quick links’ in the right side of the Blog Itself for a fast-grab reference guide, in case you are looking for something specifically, and don’t necessarily want to do a deep dive into the folder
Let me know what you think! More Later Big Country
Greetings and Salutations! Sorry for a double night missed but ‘reasons’ and the pinched nerve is still bugging me… and nope. This’s NOT from lifting, this’s from my original injury from waaay back in the day and this cold snap has made Ye Ole Sons of Arthritis come back with a bloody vengeance.
It’s been cold around here… and yeah, I know… Some of y’all live in the Arctic Circle compared to me.
But if you choose to live where snotsickles are a regular thing 6 months out of the year, that’s on you. I grew up in the frozen barren wastes of Hoth, and have no need nor desire to return there. I blew that snow encrusted A.O. and left it for the Tautauns and Wampas.
Reminds me of a few of my more savageclassmates from High School… that or one or two of my first dates…
Don’t ask.
So FINALLY got the disk to slip back into place in the lumbar via an inversion table that I’ve had kicking around out in the garage for about ten years or so. I completely forgot I had the thing until Sapper brought it in from the garage and told me to give it a whirl, as he was sick of me gimping around… that and he had to load and empty the dishwasher as I can’t (or I should say couldn’t) bend at the waist to save my life for a week or so there.
Some folks say NOT to use those things I’m of two minds,
One Negative is the danger factor… and yeah, it’s sort of dangerous to use. Lots of Docs have spoken out against using them, and well, also being upside down hanging while locked in is sort of placing myself at a disadvantage right?
However, and despite all the negative reports, for Me? It works and works well. I literally felt the disk (I think I even heard it TBH) pop back into place. SO here I am, and I’ll probably be using it more frequently as I’m far more energetic these days, feeling a LOT like my old self, and getting ‘back in the saddle’ both mentally and physically.
It’s been nice to get back there/here.
And because of it, I got a LOT packed into today. Went a saw a man about getting the oil pan done on the Boat. Still too pricey for my blood however I did get ONE piece of intel I have to research next week. Seems that The MWR People (Morale Welfare and Recreation) at McDill have an Automotive Self Help Shop!
Now when I was back on active duty, we had one in Germany, and it’s where I learned to turn wrenches beyond what DeadDad had taught me. I learned quite a bit. Now what I need to do is find out if they let disabled Vets use the place. If they do, a Bay with a lift costs only $24 an hour! And they have two mechanics on hand to assist, as well as ALL the tools and modern conveniences that one would find in a top tier repair shop.
THAT is what the mechanic ordered!
I can (and have done) oil pan replacements before. It’s just I need either a lift, or a pit to work in… and there’s nothing available until potentially now!
Figure $70 for the pan/gasket/goop on the ‘zon (already priced it) and $75+/- for the bay… figuring three hours as I’m old, cranky and don’t want to rush it… add an additional figure $100 for the oil and filter… which I -have- to buy from them according to the website… no outside loob allowed!
Call it a max of maybe $300 to do what the cheapest mechanic in town wanted $750+ for? Game, set, and match!
And if it goes smoothly, and I talk to the Mechanics who’re there on duty to assist, I might be able to get the AC Operational before we descend back into Hot n’Hoomid weather again. Here ‘s hoping right?
Otherwise, the news I also got today is very interesting. Sapper an I whilst out doing errands stopped into a local Silver and Gold Dealer to check things out, and see what is happening locally. While we were there, the guy tells us that everything has come damned near to a stop. One of the biggest refiners of silver in the country, Elemetal has completely stopped buying scrap silver and selling silver bullion.
The guy running the shop said everyone in the business is ‘frozen in place’ as Silver closed at $90.85 in US Markets on Friday, despite ALL the claims that it was going to ‘crash low’ due to ‘volatility’. I pointed out that the US Mint has shut down sales to ‘recalibrate’ right here on this blog long ahead of the rest of folks…
That was a few days ago… And it seems they DID recalibrate.
I got an email from a substack I read called Silver Academy The hyperlink will take you to the article that I got this news from, but it seems the US Mint has recalibrated:
Yessir. There’s recalibrating and then there’s this.
That IS the ‘live pricing’ on uncirculated One Ounce coins, selling for $169.00 a throw! Proof coins being a wee bit higher at $173.00! As stated:
Proof Silver Eagles jumped 82%, from roughly $95 to $173 per ounce, while uncirculated and backdated Silver Eagles soared 86%, from $91 to $169. The message is unmistakable: the old silver price system can no longer function under real-world constraints.
Which is what Asian Guy and a bunch of other have been yelling for a while… the US COMEX is bullshit and now? Real-Time pricing is coming out, hence the ‘freeze’ in so many areas of the market…
No one know whether to shit or go blind so to speak.
I’m curious if I’ll see the delivery of those 3 ‘dirty’ Eagles I bought at $77 an ounce back on January 3rd. At this rate I’m doubting it. If I -do-? That’ll be about a hundred bux profit each before it even gets in the door. And currently, the APMEX is selling random year coins going for $109.22
IF you use a credit card and only buy less than 20 coins…
And for those who’re asking about why I was calling them ‘dirty’ Eagles, they’re just that… circulated, maybe tarnished but complete US Silver Eagles… They may not be pretty, but they ARE worth waaaay more than I paid for them ALREADY.
Which is why I’m wondering IF they’ll ship or decide to play the game of “Oh so sorry, here’s a refund!” of my $240 as it’s in the smol print that they can do that.
We’ll have to wait and see I guess.
Monday I’m figuring some form of fuckery will be afoot with COMEX and ETFs… I mean it was (the fuckery) was going on ALL week long, but despite the best attempts of the Large GloboHomoHebrew banks to try and drive the price down via bogus ETF Paper Trash and dumping TONS of fiatbux, silver still rebounded like a Weeble
“Weebles Wobble but They Don’t Fall Down!” If you remember that, your childhood was Epic!!!
So yeah, I’m watching, and waiting and I’m just going to sit on my paltry Silver Stash. IF and only IF it gets into nosebleed levels of valuation will I sell, and IF I sell, it’ll be so I can get some ‘things’ that have been on the “Wants/Wishes/Needs” list for the Post Apocalypse… a Barrett .50 or maybe a M-249S belt fed… something that keeps me feeling all warm and fuzzy… I mean the coins themselves are great and hold value
BUT
IF everything goes utterly in the shitter? Having a bunch of shiny baubles is great but does you no good IF there’s only a barter economy… I’ve read it in a LOT of post SHTF books… I mean a One Oz. Gold Coin? Great. Currently (as of now) spot s $4500+/- a few hundred. Thats while money is worth something
You can’t eat it, and it might be worth something in trade, but in reality? Silver and Gold only hold value as long as there’s something of value you can exchange it for… and TBH, depending on what you’re bartering for, a Loaf of Bread and a Gallon of milk might be worth that One Ounce coin IF fiatbux become Weimar Script or like Zimbabwe, where they drafted One Hundred Trillion Dollar notes:
…and the reason it’s so recockulas is that the “smart money people” i.e. people who HAD gold and silver were already long fucking gone before the place collapsed into the festering shithole it became (and still is from my understanding)…
And that right there THAT is a big thing. The “Smart Money People”had other places they could go that had not collapsed like Zimbabwe.
-I- personally think that WHEN (not if) the de-dollarization and inevitable bed-shitting of the economy happens, I’d rather make sure MY value is locked in going LONG with Steel, Iron, Links, Lead and Good Frens to back me up, ‘cos I have a feeling that if we The US economy. take a “Ye Olde Giant Shytte”, the rest of the world is going down with us, so better to have that Barrett and 5 cases of .50 APIT or a M-249S that your friendly local gunsmith knows how to work on… than to be stuck with a bunch of shiny-shiny that does you no good until AFTER everything recovers…
Which could take decades. And any bets that you’ll find plenty of that shit just laying around after the fact? Hell… some people are just ‘loot drops’ waiting to happen… go figure.
Greetings and Salutations! Well, the diet is going well. The stomach is most definitely shrinking and tonights grub was two tuna sammiches on Publix Mountain Bread. Pretty simple and filling… 2x sammies and the bread calorie wise is about 320, while the tuna was a total of 220 calories plus or minus. Each sammich gets a full can of the tuna, and each can gets about two tablespoons of olive-oil based mayo…call it 650+/- for both sammiches.
And for all of y’all who tell me to stop making lists and counting calories? Believe you me I will but I’m retraining both my belly AND my brain to adjust and track, and eventually reform into habits that I can stay on. Today was a skip day on the gym, as well as the walk. I need a wee bit of a break. A cool thing I found out last night was that I have some Muscle Milk powder that’s still good, and it seems that some of those chocolate drinks that come in the MREs these days?
Seems some of them ARE essentially Muscle Milk/Protien drinks. And man, I got a PILE of them laying around as I usually don’t drink them. All the ‘extras’ that I can’t or won’t usually use from an MRE gets thrown in a big ole box, and then when the box is full (like last night) I sort everything out, let Sapper take his pick of what he wants, then I’ll sort MY picks and shitcan the rest… crap like the “Italian” breadsticks or the wheat bread ‘loaf’…. Gah… shit like that makes me wonder if the Natick guys are actually Mad Scientists…
I got a deal the other day that I was pleased with as well. one of the other gun shops around here has a counter area for used/unwanted gear… mags, scopes and occasionally ammunition. I just happened in when some guy was placing some boxes in from his Granddad’s estate, and maaaaaaaaaaan… MY lucky day! 2 new boxes of Magtech .44 Magnum… NOT reloads. New… just a little wear on the outer box… 50 rounds each of 240gn JSP! Even better? $25 a box!!!
That was almosts a BOGO so naturally I grabbed ’em up.
Considering the .44 is a single action six shooting wheel gun, and it feeds one at a time reeeeeally slowly I figure 100 rounds ought to last me quite a spell.
I think I told y’all about it? Can’t remember Anyway… I do love talking about my weapons so…
MY Christmas gift to myself as outside of Sapper and MomUnit, no one got me jack… not that it matters, but Palmetto State had a clearance sale, and that Sezzle payment program??? Oh man it’s just made to get a guy like me in trouble. They had a Pietta Prospector 7.5″ 44 Rem Mag for $399.99!!! I’ve seen those go for as much as $1200 on some big box gun stores…
So what the Hell right?
I’ve always wanted a six-shooter.
And since Florida has gone to full on open carry, well… if’n you’re going to open carry, do it with STYLE.
I ordered a gunbelt on Etsy custom fit to my big self. It’s got a US Cav style open top holster, and the belt itself is 2 1/2in thick, with 12 ammunition loops for .44, and 6 loops for .45-70 as I figure why not?
Sometimes you just have to go “full retard”
In the Zombiepocalypse, what I lack in rate-of-fire, I MORE than make up for with absolute ball crushing/skull vaporizing FPS on both weapons.
The workmanship on the weapon itself is magnificent. Wonderful finish, crisp trigger, accurate… ZERO complaints from me. Well… maybe ONE… that angle on the grip lays some hate on your wrist when firing it….44 Rem Mag is a mule of a round.
We’ll see… I mean I could sell it used right now and make a profit either way right? AND speaking of making a profit, TfAt must be jumping for joy as silver hit a new high on the Comex at $90.02 spot. That’s great, HOWEVER
Comex is bullshit as I’ve been watching, learning and observing. Shanghai and Kuwait are selling at spot a little more like $100 to $115… never mind the numismatic valuations of particular coins… as you can see here:
I capped that at 15:14… Silver was, per COMEX, sitting at $88.03 spot:
The problem? Look at the ask for ONE AMerican Eagle One oz Silver Dollar $101.02 That’s the best price.. as in how much you pay in bulk per coin, when in reality, if you ONLY want one coin? ONE COIN is going to run you $108.67:
That means that the premium on ONE COIN is about (at that moment) was $20.64 per coin.
THAT tells me that COMEX is bullshit. COMEX has been fuckign around forever and a day, and I think they (and we as collateral damage) are going to find out good and hard.
The TL;DW is simply this. If you have physical, hold onto it. COMEX is doing some OPEN and BLATANT Market Manipulation via Margin Call rules changes, to the point that now? It’s painfully obvious that the dollar is about to take a GIANT shit, and we’re headed into a recession IF we’re lucky. Gold is over $4500 and climbing. ALL the red flags are there.
Add on that the US Mint put out a Official Letter:
It was posted on Twitter, and then I confirmed it through various open sources. The mint is, as stated suspending sales of silver products. This’s because the pricing on the website(s) are so out of line, so quickly, that they can’t fill the order without losing cash. In fact back two weeks ago? When it ‘slumped’ below $77 for spot?
I ordered 3 Silver “tarnished/circulated” Eagles for $77 a throw. With shipping, it was about $240. Provided they fill the order, and don’t fuck me over, I’ve already made (per COMEX) over $20 per coin, and I haven’t even gotten them yet…
Which is the problem.
Gretchen’s Dad some long time back asked me about those Gold and Silver ETFs that’ve advertised to foolish Boomers…. the “You send us the money, we’ll store the gold, and all you need to do is IF and WHEN you want the physical delivery, just call us!” pyramid scheme. Once I explained it to him, he understood, and didn’t buy in on it…
If it ain’t in your hand, then it ain’t yours. Possession is 9/10ths and all that.
HOPEFULLY they ship when they said they will, which is January 19th, but at the rate it’s been climbing? I’m not so sure… this much volitility and soooo many cases of Hebraic Scumfuckery and Douchebaggery, I will say I’ll just be glad to get the $$$ back IF they decide to fuck me.
‘Cos then I’ll just turn around and re-invest the cash in a few Silver Mining Stonks I’ve been playing around with. Nothing too big… I opened a brokerage account, deposited $150 and well… I’m just a wee bit ahead, which for a complete moron and n00b like me, I’ll take the “W”
There’s also some shares I got into for a drone-related company that’s supposed to get a contract award for ALL the DotMil services in March I think? Because of the yo-yoing of the Fed, what HAD been a nice lil climber back at the start when I first started watching some particular stonks, but hey, I’m good with it…
There’s only one Stonk I wanted to get and that was another drone company. When my funds were finally available, I still couldn’t buy in, but I’ve watched it go from $258 a share to sitting right now at almost $340. Like a 98% increase in two weeks…
Dammit.
I’m still watching and waiting to see what’s coming next… Either way, Silver Mines are going to be a long investment (however long the market lasts that is…) and ANYTHING Drone Related for Defense Utilization is ANOTHER area to closely monitor.
So that’s what I got for tonight. Hope y’alls night is quiet and pleasant like mine! More Later Big Country
Greetings and Salutations! Leg day this A.M. and the arms recovered enough to actually you know, like type again. The great news? I’n down quite a few pounds… I weighed in this A.M. at 347…
Do NOT ask how much I had gained.
Let’s just say emotional turmoil was not good for the waistline, nor the mindset. Which is now back in full effect. I mean the diet is going along well, I have my accountability sheet that I’m filling out daily, and making sure I keep it about 2200 calories for the entire day.
That’s waaaay down. ESPECIALLY for a guy my size.
Add on what I’ve cut by completely going booze/beer free. Mind you that sort of sucks, but I’m already way less bloated, and feeling better. My sleeping rhythms are back, and I’m up extremely early to either get my lift on or my walk on. Been doing a few laps around the neighborhood in a stripped down tac-vest with my XSAPI plates. Cardio donchaknow?
The left leg is doing much better as well, except that I literally ‘love tapped’ the passenger side running board on The Boat with the left shin, and because the skin is like tissue paper, I torn a big ole swath of skin off of it. AGAIN
So I’m back to square one. However The new secret weapon(s) which have been helping me? One is Silver Honey:
It’s Manuka Honey and Antimicrobial Silver. Supposedly it’s for horses. Since I’m as large as one, it seems to be doing the job quite nicely. It also seems to be ‘fading’ the damaged areas that were inflamed and angry. Link to it is HERE
The other is a single compression boot:
Now I got that BEFORE Christmas, on the 17th so I got it for less than $50. Link to it is HERE And yeah, both wet my beak if you buy eithe rof them. The Leg Compression thing is great!!! It’s got 3 settings, the one I like most is the setting thats starts compressing my foot, and then works it’s way up my leg to my knee, squeezing all the pooled blood and lymph out or at least back into normal circulation.
The only major negative is you need to download and run it via a bluetooth connected app. I’m soooooo sick of apps I swear man… It does work however, and my leg looks much better for it, and I’m no where near as gimpy as I was.
So since the diet is now on full time, I’m cooking healthy like I did back in Baghdad. For that matter, I got a lil ‘homesick’ for my place back in Iraq from 2008-2011… Like genuinely missing my life and lifestyle from back then. It was a much simpler and straightforward existence to say the least.
The food was MUCH healthier overall as well, as Halal chow witht he Muslim Rules makes sure that GMOs are a nonstarter, and the grains you DO have available are from the same. exact. grains that Suliman the First was chowing on… Like the OG-Grains if you will.
So since I had previously stocked up on some quality meats that I had intended on using to impress a female (yeah… of course the deal fell through… story of my life amiright?) so Last night I yoinked! the meetza outta da deepfreeze and made ready for the cooking tonight.
In this case, this was Iraqi Kofta Kebabs.
I used to make these things at a minimum of 3-4 times a week in Baghdad. My Iraqi workers taught me how. God I miss them guys and gals… Anyways…
Kofta is a type of of spiced meat, usually cooked on skewers, made from ground meat (like beef, lamb, or chicken) or vegetables, mixed with spices, onions, and herbs. It can be grilled, baked, fried, or simmered in sauces, and is usually (for me) served over rice.
In my case?
I used a pound of Ground Waygu Beef, and a pound of New Zealand’s finest high-quality, tender, grass-fed Lamb. The skewers I got a lil ways back as a gift from bro who knows how much I like to cook, and got me the right skewers for the job:
Besides the spicing, in order to have a proper kebab, the meat has to cook from the inside as well as from the outside. The way this is done is that each one of those bad bois is about 3/4 of an inch wide. The tip of the skewer gets stuffed into the hot coals, allowing the heat to run the length of it, and cooks the inside of the kebab. The rick is to NOT allow the meat to peel apart and fall INTO the coals.
Thankfully I only had one do this, and I was quick enough to recover the meat. Part of the trick is making sure you have breadcrumbs as a binder… The way I did it, was I placed alllll the spices into a BIG honking bowl, and hand mixed it all together:
Where things went a wee bit sideways was I didn’t put enough breadcrumbs in, or at least that ONE skewer that fell apart didn’t get enough breadcrumbs… Meh… either way, it all cam out fantastically.
The Spices I used and how much are as follow:
One Medium Diced (via my smol food processor) Onion Three BIG Tablespoons of Minced Garlic 1-1/2 Cups of Finely Mashed Plain Breadcrumbs (I used Pepperidge Farms) 1 Cup of Dried Parsley (or one whole fresh bunch, w/no stalks, diced up) 1 1/2 Teaspoons Ground Allspice 1/2 Teaspoons Green Cardamom 1/2 Teaspoons Nutmeg 1/2 Teaspoons Sumac 1/2 Teaspoons Paprika (I like a wee bit more, so dealer choice) 1 1/2 Teaspoons Aleppo Pepper Large Pinch of Salt
I mashed all of it up, and then formed a small-ish ball of the meat, and skewered it. Then I worked it evenly down the skewer, thinning it out, and rounding it, keeping in mind that the first 3-4 inches needed to be free of the meat, so as to shove it directly into the coals:
Then I placed it in the outside redneck fridge to cool them for 20 minutes to keep them from falling apart. When they get to room temperature, the meat starts to seperate and fall off the skewers… chilling them keeps them together so you can get them on the grill.
Now I also chopped up another leftover half of an onion to grill, as there’s always a leftover onion in the fridge, as we use them in almost ALL the cooking around here:
I just slapped those w/some fresh ground pepper and salt, and roasted them on the grill… they came out great.
Now unfortunately, I didn’t get a pic of it cooking as I was as busy as a raped ape turning and shuffling the skewers from hot-spot(s) to cool(er) spots, and making sure nothing came completely apart. I need to fabricate a proper grill if I start doing this on the regular, as the Round Weber I have isn’t the best for this sort of cooking. I also made one of those “Middle Eastern/Spanish Yellow Rice” sides that was Meh! at best…
Sapper and I were not impressed with the rice (bland AF TBH, the majority got shitcanned it was so blah!) but at least it gave the plate some color. I served it with 2x pieces of freshly lightly toasted Na’an Bread, and some Peppered Humus for flavor. It came out looking rather good IMO:
(The onions are buried under the na’an BTW)
As you can see…. A perfect char on the outside, nice a cooked all the way through on the inside, and juicy as all get out. I think I stunned Sapper as he was beyond impressed.
I mean like I cook well, and he knows it, but there have been one or two misfires in the past. I think he was expecting this one to be a misfire, and was genuinely pleased to the point he said it’s better than the place we go out to eat at in Apollo Beach, a new Haji Shop. It’s good, but this is better AND it’s not $24 a plate. I agree with him… it’s absolutely what I used to cook on the regular back in the day, and outside of the rice? It’s healthy.
The only part that sucked was while I was doing the plating, BOTH puppers were literally drooling to the point that smol puddles formed on the floor, so now I’ll have to mop the kitchen again as this diet is heavy on the cooked meats, so both Puppers, Chili AND the Sausage Princess are in near-constant ‘hover/drool’ mode while Daddy Big Country is cooking up a storm.
Now as far as cook time for the skewers, these cannot be thrown on and left to cook. You HAVE to watch them, and constantly rotate them. I had the heat cranking on the coals to ‘blast furnace’ levels to get a good sear/char on the exterior, and rotated constantly to keep it evenly cooked so the meat didn’t get a chance to, as mentioned before, fall OFF the skewer and into the coals. YYMV.
So that’s my night and diet, and meal for dinner. Let me know what you think, and also let me now if you try it. My next experiment is going to be the same recibee, but using the Ninja Indor XL Air Fryer/Grill. The grill mode works pretty damned well, and I want to see if I can get the same results without the skewer, and making the Kebab thinner to cook evenly. If it works, I can whip up a PILE of them as pre-made food prep, freeze a bunch of them, and eat on them for a few weeks if I do it right.
Greetings and Salutations! So I’ve been following (wallowing might be the better term) in the unhinged cesspool(s) that are Twitter and Reddit about allll the “Calls To Action Against The Feds!” and whatnot regarding the shitshow that’s going on in Minneapolis.
Now, thing of it is, it’scold AF there right now…
…and as far as -I’m- concerned? It’s staying cold AF all weekend long. Anything under 50 degrees these days to me reminds me of my “Sons of Arthritis” membership all too well these days…
SO, yep. This is NOT what I’d call ‘good riot weather’ unless you’re Santa’s Elves pulling a labor protest or a fucking Inuit doing the same. Even the Canucks tend to stay inside around those temps, especially if it doesn’t factor in the wind chill, which if it gets windy, it turns 23 degrees into a punishment after the fact.
So I was thinking A lot of mentions and RUMINT is that there are NOT enough cops out there to do what needs to be done, and that the White House is, per the usual, dithering on #TIA1807 because smol-hats and ‘reasons’. OrangeManBad doesn’t WANT to be remembered for invoking the act (even tho right now, he really needs to, if only in Minnesota) and deploying Active Duty Troops.
Cowardly as all get out IMO HOWEVER -I- thought of something. Remember the talk about granting Letters of Marque a few back BEFORE we snatched Maduro? I got idea… an utterly brutal and completely ruthless idea.
Why not just deputize ANY and ALL Veterans who want to volunteer, under a limited Contract, similar to what was done in Iraq. The DotMil didn’t have enough troops to run convoy escorts for quite a spell, so Blackwater stepped in, and did it quite well. Make it that Prior Contracting experience is a plus, and give us very liberal and open-ended Rules of Engagement.
Shoot First, For God Will Know His Own.
As well as enough Federal Legal Coverage that every. single. shoot. will be considered a “good shoot” and the trigger puller in question doesn’t get prosecuted after the fact at the State Level, due to the Federal Primacy Clause.
Also keep a metric shit-ton of irrevocable blank Presidential Pardons on hand…
Just in Case of later DemoncRat Fuckery years later.
I almost guarantee after the first 200-300 stupid fuckers get shot in the head that this shit’ll end so quick it make Soro’s head spin. And oh yes… Give a list of PRIMARY TARGETS that NEED to be “harvested” for the greater good. I’m pretty sure putting a bounty of $1 Million USD on Alex Soro’s head would attract enough attention to remove him and his Dad from the board. Even if he flees to the EU… lots of people there getting mighty poor and hungry these days from what I heard… for the E.U., make it $100 million, so they have enough to possibly even tempt the Soros Bodyguards on turning on him…
LITERALLY make an Offer that no one can refuse I mean it’s just money right? They print that shit faster than Charmin these days anyway.
“The Harvest of a Thousand Heads” has a nice ‘ring’ to it…
I mean if nothing is done?
Well… All I can say is Thank God I’m in a state that passed laws ALLOWING us to ‘handle the ‘tards’… The Summer of Love lasted until Hillsborough Sheriff’s Deputies, responding to a bogus 911 call (it was made to draw the cops in) were literally ambushed by some gun toting Groids… they bailed and got out unscathed… HOWEVER After this? Between the Sheriff AND DeSantis, they declared ‘open season’ on Rioters… as in “Block Traffic = Get Run Over, no charges will be filed” or “Ambush Cops = Get Shot. Period. Fucking. Dot. Civilians are welcome to assist the PD a needed. No charges will be filed”
Needless to say, MUCH to Sapper and my own severe disappointment, the Nogs f-a-d-e-d back into the Hood from whence they came, knowing full well they were fucking dead otherwise as they’d be more likely shot by some amped-up Floridaman who’s suffering from near-terminal niggersaustion than a cop…. Needless to say, things stayed VERY QUIET here roundabouts. And have stayed that way….
AND Speaking of ‘tards:
Dis fukken guy pissed me off today.
On one of my Twitter Posts, he kept shitting ALL over it… annoying AF especially since I have NO IDEA who this basement dwelling fag is. I tried. Lord knows I tried….despite me telling him to STFU to just let me post in peace and go away, and warning him that pissing off and annoying strangers on the internet isn’t very bright….
So I asked him where he’s at:
So then I went to his link to his pages (which he thoughtfully provided):
The Link is in the Upper Left but it’s also on his profile but here… let me assist: https://linktr.ee/og_vault
Then I went to his Youtube channel… all 16k of his watchers… (that’s cute…) More than likely they’re mostly bots I’d say as he’s never had more than 200 likes on his vids… and I’m not sure if this is him or not:
But if it is? He looks exactly as I’d suspect,mid-30, doo-rag to cover the male pattern baldness… probably jacks off to Anime Porn… GAH! I know, I know… I blocked him, but he was SUCH an insufferable POS, so if y’all want to DM me any and all info y’all want to, have at it. “The BCE Flying Monkey Brigade” can be unleashed. And if you want to shit up allll his ‘stuff’ even better… let me know what ya find. What a dink.
BTW: FWIW, I’m looking at having patches made that say that exactly “BCE Flying Monkey Brigade” as some bling/gifties to y’all regulars.
I’ll show you the two final designs and y’all can voat on them. So that’s it. Early post today as I got a date. More Later Big Country
Greetings and Salutations Gonna be a short one Today was Arm Day and I can barely hold my hands over the Keyboard. I think I need one of them gel pad rests now in my old age. ‘hover-hands’ ain’t what it used to be…
Anywho
“And much gnashing and wailing was heard!!!” out ’round about Minneapolis Way after some fucking dyke chick tried to run from ICE during an ‘encounter’ and got iced in a manner of speaking… The Mayor Jacob Frey:
…and yep… a smol-hat and obviously big nose tribe member, (pic for the obligatory wanted poster for later) opened up his cockholster and ran it until the semen ran clean down onto his ass. Literally told the feds to “…Fuck Off out of his city…”
I love it when a Jew reveals himself so openly Don’t you? So to continue…
Said-semen and Izzyspittle flying, it seems Good Ole Governor “Balless” Walz, Fake CSM (who never met a deployment that he could run from) decide to felch said-semen off the gay Mayor’s anus, and is now deciding if he’s going to activate the Minnesota National Guard to “expel the Feds” out of the state.
No word if he’ll reactivate himself at his old rank or just pin four stars on his collar… guess eating a little jizz from the foul mouthed soon-to-be Guantanamo Detainee #4678 stiffed up the otherwise Cowardly Fucktard. No worries though, I know for a fact that copies of the Torah are available to detainees having been at the top of the food chain at Gitmo, long long ago….
Now that ‘Balless’ is considering doing such a thing… Well the last time that happened, bad things happened.
Namely the Civil Fucking War.
And the meme above? That’s Captain George S. James, the guy who, on receiving his orders from Higher-Higher (namely the head of the Confederate DotMil in the Area of Operations, General P. G. T. Beauregard) fired off the first shot at Fort Sumter, kicking off the War of Northern Aggression of 1861.
And maaaaan After last nights rant and analysis? Per Meko, 48 hours have now past 24 Hours are left…
The Insurrection Act of 1807 or now, for brevity, call it ‘TIA1807’ (and make it a hashtag on ALL the social media platforms #TIA1807) I’ve been using it on twitter:
#TIA1807 If You Know, You Know.
Yep Something like this couldn’t come at either a better or worse time. “Balless” I -think- is going to try and finally prove his manhood, and stand up to the Feds. I mean he was positively raked over the coals for his blatant cowardice during the GWOT…
And if he does?
Hooo-Boy. < Cue Announcer Voice > ‘Next on “The Boys From Delta, Season 1, Episode 2: TIMMMMAH! Gets The Black Bag”
As well as Delta shooting any asshole who doesn’t understand that under 1807 killing all of them is legal IF they stand up against the Feds or DotMil. ESPECIALLY during an Op. I’ve been seeing some utterly fucktarded takes on this on Reddit (what a cesspool of leftist psychosis… people will be studying that shit centuries from now) and on Twitter with Leftists still clinging to the notion that The Insurrection Act can’t be used.
Let me tell you IF a large enough crowd gathers, and starts getting jiggy with REGULAR US Army Troops? Oh man… all it takes is one rock thrown, or one nervous new guy to shoot one stupid motherfucker, and oh holy shit….
At Kent State the National Guard Troops only had M-1s. (corrected!!! Thanks for the spot guys! That was an unintentional fat finger) Semiauto Only. Granted, 7.62x51mm but still… Four students were killed and nine others were wounded. They fired approximately 67 rounds over a period of 13 seconds
OTOH:
The Regular Army guys? M-4A1s… All Full Auto I know, I’m one of the guys who did the upgrade from 3 round burst trigger groups back to good ole Rock n’Roll for units here in Florida… (sweet Lord in Heaven, I seen some shytte in my time!) Anyways… In fully automatic mode an A1 can theoretically fire between 151 and 208 rounds at its cyclic rate of fire in 13 seconds… In practice, this number is limited by magazine capacity, which is typically 30 rounds, and the need to reload… And considering how shitty the troops were treated under the Biden Administration? And if ONE SHOT rings out, no matter which side fired it? I’m putting my money on some seriously quick reloads during the “Mad Minute” that’ll go down and windrows of dead protestors… like ‘stacked cordwood levels’ and ankle deep blood.
A LOT of Regular Army troops have a lot of unresolved anger issues for those on the Left Side of the political spectrum. I could see a LOT of mag-dumps and reloads in the first minute or so…
And IF #TIA1807 has been implemented BEFORE this? Ohhhh maaan. It’s all legal No shit… for real, I really don’t want to see it HOWEVER The left has gotten away with soooo much for so long, it’s about time that they got ‘punched’ in the fucking face. And no worries about the Media ranting and rending garments…
Lincoln had that covered too when the FedGov jailed newspaper people who spoke against him and the war. All OrangeManBad needs to do is shut down ALL media, jail the most obnoxious motherfuckers for fomenting rebellion and/or treason, at Gitmo, and give very short DotMil Trial(s), and then a very quick trip to the gallows. And Timmah, because right now, as we speak/I write is OPENLY CALLING FOR REBELLION TO FEDERAL AUTHORITY
…which means that IF anyone gets smoked by Active Duty Personnel during a legally announced TIA1807 order, well it means every. single. death. can be lodged as a charge against Timmah himself after the fact. Death by hanging anyone?
Case fucking closed And it’s all b/c ‘their guy’ Lincoln set precedent.
Doubt it’ll go that way, but as the Joe Chink curse goes: “May You Live In Interesting Times” Indeed they are. More Later Big Country
