this year we have stacked 9 full face cords of wood and some out ling stacks of well seasoned stuff i did not get moved home but we are still burning should be able to last till the end of may more or less and this is suposed to be a mild winter according to various reasources and we have not started burning the stacked stuff nor will we till enough snow shows up to make it nesscary to avoid walking out there after the wood

a wet tale of water pipes

in the place here we have the old trailer and the new cabin where my wife an live . gives me, my wife some privacy from my dad who lives in the old trailer

problem: the old trailer is OLD and I had to bypass/replace most of the plumbing in it. one of my early pieces of that work (done in 2003 BTW as some of my very first plumbing work) developed a fault sometime before 1 ish when I went to find it leaking all over the place. the original was not my best work although it was as I said some of the very first work I ever in plumbing and man was it a pain to fix/replace got it done with a very high NSVI (Needed Satisfying Vulgarity Index)

but it is done and the new stuff should be easier to work with than what I had put all those years ago

a good veterans day to you all

an obit sorta to atraitor

Maj Haasan the recent terrorist at Ft hood well in word he is a despicable but another word that we need to avoid leaving out is TRAITOR . I do hope is so charged personally Id not mind a spot on his firing squad but i expect we could pay for health care over haul by raffling off the sport on that team.

I can understand that He did not want to go overseas , indeed I don't want to return to active duty for such a purpose myself, but honestly if he was just so adverse to going over seas to help americans in those areas then why not just desert and gpo to Canada or somewhere to avoid this unpleasant duty, and at least put that expensive education we the armerican taxpayers gave him to some use. No he decided to KILL his fellows violating not only his oath to the USA but the Hippocrates one as well, to have taken the money and run would be despicable but at least it is not the only crime defined in the Constitution of the USA.

Not only had Hassan forsworn himself twice as I have described above, but he archived little if any real damage to the USA but has done great damage to Islam and it image here in the USA. he has placed the target of suspicion on EVERY loyal serving Muslim and every Muslim civilian he did not even accomplish the disruption of our unit deployment

while we must remember that "the road from legitimate suspicion to rampant paranoia is very shorter than we would like to think"(ST:TNG Drumhead) but also the joke told to explain why no muslims apear in Startrek "they did not make it"

OMG re ft hood

I am shocked to hear about this here is some part of Hassan's record how coudl he do this to the army or to his fellow muslims as well

does it get lower than this? I sure hope not
