Cause when one accidentally (stupidly) deletes the boot partition of one’s hard drive, then one will HAVE to eventually reboot then rebuild.

So, test post to see if it’s gonna work like it’s supposed to.

Thinking more about it: if I were a Banker and found out that you’d had your student loans “forgiven,” it would be an awfully cold day in Hell before I loaned you any more money. How could I be sure you wouldn’t go out and demand that a new loan be “forgiven?” Couldn’t. See foot? Shoot it.

Possibility of low-land snow for Christmas. Woo Woo. SWMBO does like her White Christmas’. Doesn’t get many of them around here though.

Actual headline this morning. Sometimes you can’t make shit up as interesting as real life.

Been pretty busy around here taxiing SWMBO around and keeping her going. Got her off her duff and got her to clean her car out, take it to Les Schwab to get the slow leak fixed, and to the DMV to register it. The last tag on her car read 2019. Luckily they only charged her for one year.

She’s out at a Doc appointment and making a run to the pharmacy.

She’s able to go all day without hooking up to the O2 tanks. Still wears it for sleeping though for “just in case.”

Had “Date Day” yesterday and went to our favorite Manchurian BBQ place in Bremerton only to find it replaced with a Chinese place. Bummer! Was “ok” but nothing to write home about.

Been listening to a net that sounds like it’s in Japan on 14.235 (if I remember right). Everyone is speaking Japanese so …

Still backing up my NAS drives to a couple of external 5TB drives I have “laying around” not doing anything. Have a RSHTECH USB3.0 HDD Docking Station and it keeps dropping out. But grsync doesn’t notice until it hits the end of it’s copy list.

Oh, Joy. My 1099R is available on MyPay. How much y’all want to bet they make me change my password cause I haven’t logged in since last year? Oh, wait. They switched to that 2a log in thingie.

Pi-Hole seems to be working pretty good for blocking ads, but, now it seems I can’t comment on a lot of articles on FoxNews. Hmmm… Sometimes works if I reload the page …

Apparently, Me not wanting to pay off some else’s student loan is promoting violence; according to Rep. Pressley. So I think I’ll just keep my money and hope someone kicks someone else’s ass for even suggesting student debt cancellation. The way i look at it is: if you were an adult (18 years of age in our society) and freely made an agreement to pay back a LOAN for schooling, then you need to get off your lazy ass and pay that money back.

Demanding canceling student loans is like me going to buy a car, signing the contract, then demanding someone else pay it off. Not going to work!

Guess I can’t donate to the Salvation Army this year either because I just can’t repent for being white, semi-affluent, and not realizing any racist things I may have done in the past. So I’ll just keep my money, thank you.

I’m thinking that I should show up at the county offices and claim forcing me to pay taxes on my house is completely and totally racist AND ageist. Indentured servitude. i am a slave to the county clerk under threat of incarceration if I don’t comply. You know: like Federal taxes.

Oh, and charging me a “fee” to use my cash card is double dipping. But I do like the way they label it a “convenience fee.” Makes it so much more enjoyable to pay it. BTW, who is it a convenience for? Me, cause I don’t have to carry cash? Or the store, cause they don’t have to handle cash? Otherwise everything is taken care of electronically.

The more news comes out of Florida, the more I’m tempted to move there: A Florida sheriff praised a homeowner for standing his ground and shooting an attempted home invader on Wednesday. “The homeowner did exactly what he should have,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told WFLA-TV after a man in Lakeland, Florida shot an intruder in his home.

But you can still shit in the streets if you so desire: San Francisco Mayor London Breed on Friday declared a state of emergency in the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood, an area that sits near City Hall and that officials have long said is rampant with drugs and crime in response to overdose deaths.

If it counts for Moderna also, maybe I should be glad I caught a breakthrough case: A small study from the Oregon Health and Science University School of Medicine showed that breakthrough Covid infections in people who had the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines may provide massive immunity. How big? Against the original SARS-CoV-2 strain, blood serum from breakthrough cases was 950% more potent. And against the Delta variant, such serum was 1021% more potent.

Anywho. Probably should post this since I forgot (again) to post it last night. Windy.com says it’s raining like crazy out so I’d better check. Still prefer snow over rain.

Isn’t it amazing the things one can learn by accident?

See that percentage listed at the bottom of the graphic(s) (the pictures of rain)? I always took that as meaning that there was a 70% chance of rain, or 100% chance of rain, or whatever % of chance for rain/snow/whatever.

Learned today that is not true. Those numbers mean that there is a chance of rain/snow over the percentage of the area of the forecast. So, 70% means that there is 100% possibility of rain over 70% of the forecast area. So, today, there is 100% possibility of rain over 70% of the Belfair (actually Bremerton Airport (KPWT)) area. (IF I’m reading this right. I could be completely wrong.)

Cool! But I did notice that snow disappeared from out forecast.

Yeah. Probably not going to get this posted tonight. Got side tracked by watching earthquake shit on YouTube and talking to SWMBO about our plans for emergencies. First on tap: Blow the Tacoma Narrows bridges to stop the Zombies from “over there” coming into our area looking for food and whatever. Doing that will force them to go through Olympia and Shelton before heading this way. Thins out the herd.

Now: Date Day! Took SWMBO to the teriyaki chicken place we like over by the COSTCO in Gig Harbor. Being that close, we stopped at Home Depot first and COSTCO last. Spent WAY too much at COSTCO but they had a 5-TB External USB Drive for like $80 after discount. Too good to pass up and I almost got two.

Rainy drive home. Feels like it wants to snow; but hasn’t so far. Every time I look at the Wx map they move the snow back or take it out completely.

Wow. Windy out there.

And it’s not even officially Winter yet.

It probably won’t happen; since it hardly ever does the first time they mention it. But, SWMBO likes snow (there! I said it). Not enough to get out in it for long (being from Oregon, Ohio and all); but she does like it. I think snow is better than rain, personally. I figure if you’re going to be cold & wet it might as well be pretty.

Not a lot going on around the ol’ homestead.

No. Seriously.

Oh, I got out in the future woodshop and started straightening up and getting things hung on the walls and put away so SWMBO could walk from the door to the other door without tripping over anything.

But that’s about it.

Warehouse 13 Marathon.

I see where 30 GOP’ers voted in favor of a National Vaccination Database. Let’s see: we already have “show me your vax papers” and non-vaxxed being kept in separate areas and essentially locked away until they comply, and now a database identifying who has/hasn’t been vaccinated. The little bar-code tats on your wrist should come next. Maybe a bright yellow syringe icon sewed to the unvaxed clothes. (Maybe a capital “V” within that no circle?)

Lot of work for a disease with a 99.994% survival rate up to age 70. And the Omicron should be a non-issue medically. I’ve literally seen people with worse hangovers.

It’s coming, folks. More draconian lockdowns for the Omicron. More government control over what you eat. (See some of the latest FDA’s rulings on “substances.” Like Ginger much? Better learn to grow your own.) Higher prices for everything and long “waits” for most everything else. Learn to treat your own hangnails and colds. Buy my “Home Surgery” Kit only $29.95!

Every thing you wanted to know about suturing but were afraid to ask.

I think I will invest in those grow lights and get the basement set up for hydroponics. Figure out a way to use the grow lights without tapping into the grid. Those 4 older solar panels still work fine …

Bill Gates is predicting a Smallpox outbreak happening soon. Guess he hasn’t killed enough people with his immunizations yet. Got my smallpox vax when I was a kid and haven’t had smallpox yet; but how much y’all want to bet I’ll HAVE to get a booster so everyone around me will feel “safe?”

Maybe I should go to Mexico and come back over the border illegally? But, of course, being WHITE and a CONSERVATIVE, Paying for a house, eating regular, and mostly following all the (known) laws, I May Already Be Illegal. Haven’t read the News yet.
