The Quotes of Day


Quote I

I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let's face it, friends make life a lot more fun. Charles R. Swindoll


Quote II

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend. Thomas Jefferson

Difficult these days. I wonder if it was then.


Quote III

A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down. Arnold H. Glasow

35 Had a good day today. Got the Flxible coach started. Had to manually screw in the bypass screw on the injection pump for the Cummins VT-903, but once that was done, it started promptly, and warmed up nicely. The air pressure built up quickly, and I was able to release the Maxi brakes, and drive off. Did an orbit around the yard, and parked in a new spot, so I could mow where it had sat. Then I had to screw the bypass screw out to shut the engine down The fuel solenoid gets sticky with periods of disuse.

Then I pulled an old '74 Ford Supervan out of its resting place, and got its engine started, and it moved under its own power up close to the shop. I took its carburetor off, and cleaned it, and replaced the power valve and accelerator pump diaphragm, eliminating some fuel leaks. Went on a short ride up the road, and transmission shifted OK.

Then I sharpened the blades on the riding mower, and did a little mowing.

He offered to cut his hair but they director said to not bother as the character he was going to play was alone for a long time without a barber around.

Well, the ground work for both was begun yesterday. Put the battery charger on the Flx, and actually got the Ford running, albeit very poorly, last afternoon. But it couldn't move itself out of the ruts it had settled into. So I used the tractor this morning to tug it out. I actually got it out on the road, and drove it a mile, up to 45 mph. Transmission shifted through all the gears. But fuel system is still full of crud.

115 Frampton followed "Frampton Comes Alive," which was an amazing album, with "I'm In You," which was more awful than awful. I attribute it to having on the live album performed and worked out those songs with the band (including Bob Mayo on the keyboards, @Bertram) over hundreds of performances so they were tight. And they really were. Not a missed beat, not a wasted note. The they had to follow it up with something and had nothing, and they started from scratch in the studio. They should have worked out some new songs on tour and then recorded those, but the fans want to hear the hits, of course. And they just didn't have the chops to go from zero to 60.

The thing is, all those First Families of Virginia were so interrelated through blood and marriage (many of them going back to English landed gentry and minor nobility), that their squabbles were basically family fights. They all went to the same schools, they danced at each others' plantations when they had parties, they served in the House of Burgesses and drank in the same taverns.

There are a lot of "home remedies" that purport to fix a sulfated battery, but I have never seen any that really worked. There is a "desulfator" circuit that I think has been commercialized, but I don't know how effective it is. Bottom line: a decent battery costs about $150, which is a lot, but what is your time worth, and how willing are you to risk having a battery that is less than 100% capable of doing its job?

Vehicles that I rely on have to have a good battery. I use my "iffy" batteries for ones that don't have to go on the road.

I know how poorly Jefferson behaved. I just can't find it in me to trash him - mainly because the left hate everything about the men of '76. (the left turned Hamilton into Peter Pan)

John Adams was willing to let bygones be bygones. Abigail? not so much.

The left should hate everything about Hamilton, they deify him after race washing him.

Hamilton *was* a slave, and he valued business and industry over everything. He would have rejected all their bullsh*t outright. He would have laughed at their Rube Goldberg love of government.

Abigail Adams had more sense at breakfast than John had by midnight snack.

169 Still no urge to suss out anything about this Peter Frampton person.

Got to pull out relevant information from a 34 page forum post on all versions of the Heinkel He 219 Uhu nachtjaeger.

Interesting fact from this reading; the only 'intact' He 219A-2/R4 is in fact a composite aircraft. Most is FE-614 but the horizontal stabilizers came from FE-613 while the DB603A engines came from FE-612. Which accounts for all three He 219s that were turned over to the US by the British. The British kept five of the planes but ended up scrapping them at Brize Norton.

172 The thing is, all those First Families of Virginia were so interrelated through blood and marriage (many of them going back to English landed gentry and minor nobility), that their squabbles were basically family fights. They all went to the same schools, they danced at each others' plantations when they had parties, they served in the House of Burgesses and drank in the same taverns.

243 Do modern day strip clubs have day care facilities attached to the back?
If not, think of the entrepreneurial opportunities.

They don't have to be attached. In fact, it'd probably be better separated for liability issues. Still...

It could be run by couples -- the husband runs the club, while the wife runs the day care. Or whatever gender whatever.
I think it's a good idea.

The Bidens emerged from the castle just shy of having spent a full hour with the queen and boarded the helicopter for the return trip to London.

At Heathrow Airport, Biden talked about the queen with his traveling press corps, saying she was "very gracious," that she asked him about Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping and that he had invited her to visit the White House.

"I don't think she'll be insulted, but she reminded me of my mother," Biden said before he boarded Air Force One for his next stop, Brussels.

It generally is frowned upon for anyone to reveal the contents of their private talks with the queen.

291 Yeah, Washington was kind of a major-league asshole in his interpersonal relationships, too. He was the kind of guy who was way more effective as a military commander, where you can just give orders that have to be obeyed, than as a politician, where you have to persuade people. Generals as Presidents haven't worked out all that well, overall.

That doesn't take away from Washington's iron-bound sense of honor. Not many men of that era (or this one) would turn down being made king. Come to that, he probably would have been a pretty decent king, had things gone that way. He had no real direct heir though, so I don't see that dynasty lasting very long.

Jefferson did the D of I, the Virginia Declaration of Rights (on which our Bill of Rights was closely modeled), and, as mentioned, gave the Frogs one of the most righteous screwings on a real estate deal ever. The only remotely comparable screwing was when Seward screwed the Tsar out of Alaska.

Of course, in both cases, the Brits might have grabbed the territory had it not been sold to the Americans, so there was a "let's cut our potential losses" factor going on.

I looked up the Daily Mail photos with Dr. Jill. Someone at her level should be getting her clothes altered to fit better. The outfit looks cheap because it doesn't fit well. The sleeves are too long, and the jacket is pulled in order to button. As an older person, she needs hose. She doesn't have an odd shape like Michelle. She should have been able to come up with something better than that. It's not much better than Hillary's pants suits.

I'm not going to convince anyone, but I've also heard quite a few incredibly artistic uses of Autotune. It's just another paintbrush. Granted, 99% of the things painted with it do suck. But 1% are masterpieces.

have been able to jam at 80, had he not been killed by his brother in a
murder-suicide. Very tragic end to a great talent.



I'm not going to convince anyone, but I've also heard quite a few
incredibly artistic uses of Autotune. It's just another paintbrush.
Granted, 99% of the things painted with it do suck. But 1% are
masterpieces.

348 Mississippi John Hurt was an amazing guitarist. Fingerstyle or "Travis picking" takes a long time to master. There's a recording of him doing "Spike driver blues" about John Henry on YouTube. It is basically one chord, based on G, but most people couldn't play it. Not like that.

He was somewhat famous in the 30s. In the 60s when there was a folk resurgence somebody went down to MS and got him out of retirement. They took him to a guitar store and said "pick whatever you want". He didn't go for the spendy Martin D18 or whatever. It ain't the guitar fellas!

363 I believe - once again I could be wrong - Napoleon was looking to set up a West Indies state or states around the Caribbean, from Louisiana, through Haiti and on to the Spanish colonies, while picking up the English islands as well. The whole thing had the linchpin of Haiti, and the LeClerk expedition was supposed to recapture and re-enslave Haiti as a launching point.

Once that failed in a bloody shambles and warnings that it would need a genocide to make it work, Napoleon was willing to sell the rights to Louisiana to Jefferson to keep it from the English, and a fair bit of change.

But imagine if Napoleon kept Toissaint L'Overture in power in Haiti, and supported him in return for his fealty? France would have had a colonial possession to rival Portugal.

396 359 Have you ever tried to listen to English as if you didn't understand it? Hard to do but fun to try, just listening to the sounds. For instance, as a Germanic language, just how guttural do we sound to the durn furriners? That sort of thing.
Posted by: JuJuBee at June 13, 2021 11:07 PM (mNhhD)

Being a durn furriner I can tell you that, to me, standard American English sounds very monotone and strung together and rapidly spoken - one long word with minimum intonation. When I first got here, lo, many moons ago, I truly had no idea what people were saying.

407 Lewis and Clark carried with them, along with all their now dwindling provisions (by the time they made the coast, they were reduced to trading the buttons off their coats for needed supplies) a letter of credit signed by Jefferson.

The idea was, if they ran into a trading ship from just about anywhere or anyone they could use that letter of credit on the US account to hitch a ride back to the US by boat, going around the horn and avoid the overland return journey. This would have worked real slick. There were ships in the area, kinda, but they missed them by a couple weeks or so, that kinda thing.

I was reading about coffee the other day. During WWII it was rationed for a while at 1 pound every 5 to 6 weeks. I'm not sure 1 pound would last me a month. Lewis brought 50 pounds of green coffee, and apparently still had some on the pacific coast.

He damn sure wasn't sharing it with the 50 other people on the expedition. At least I assume it was for the captains only.

That era seemed to be an apex of the studio/radio axis dominating everything - there were a lot of albums that stayed on the top for a long time, Frampton, Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life (still makes me wince), Fleetwood Mac had a long running album then too. Heavy, repeated, manic airplay of all of them until you got sick of them no matter how good they were.

new wave coming up and the growth of personal stereos broke that up after that. I remember being in a car a few years after that hearing Toto's Africa every 5 minutes as we hunted for a decent station. After that gave up on radio entirely.

436 Yeah, RB, it's kind of interesting. The original expedition was envisioned as 10 or 15 people. And budgeted for that. (And like all government projects exceeded them, eventually totaling about $38,000 a lot of coin then) The initial budget was $1500 or something like that, $600 of which was spent on trade goods. Something like that. A whisky ration was part of the daily issue to the men. Required under Army regulation.

Anyway they also brought prodigious amounts of flour and gunpowder and salt and pork and all kinds of stuff. Tons. To get an idea, it would be the equivalent of two tractor trailers worth of stuff, split between a keelboat and two huge canoes., and about 30 or so permanent party and lots of hired frenchies and such.

50 pounds of coffee is not very much. I figure it was only for special occasions or really rough mornings. I suppose it was hard to justify, because technically it isn't food or necessary to sustain life. Some people might argue that last point ...

But this just would have just repeated what happened in Canada, French India, over and over. War starts and the Brits go to town taking over the colonies and looting the profits for the war. Then they gave them back for next war.

Food irradiation is almost all done with gamma rays, which are electromagnetic radiation, the same as light, x-rays, and microwaves.

It doesn't make the food radioactive.

And one time when we were running an experiment in Berkeley's Bevalac they irradiated the chamber with maximum power particle beams to satisfy some idiot.

499 there is an alternate process to irradiation called High Pressure Processing (HPP) or Pascalization,

It subjects the food to high pressure and kills bacteria that way, but does not change the enzymes. It is used commercially with ground beef, and with some shellfish where heating changes the food.
The thing is it still has a short shelf life as often enzymes will still spoil the food.
It is one of the methods that was reviewed for US military rations.

I was reviewing it to see if I could go into business marketing unpasturized milk that was still sterile.

I'm seeing that irradiation can reduce the need for pesticides and other chemical treatments as well. Take stored grain. Irradiate it and kill weevils, for instance without having to treat with chemical insecticides. Be much safer.

Irradiate the raw stuff used for salads. You know those salad bags that occasionally cause disease outbreaks? Eliminate most of that.

Oh, remember the pig brain blowing disease from last night? They gave it a name, Progressive Inflammatory Neuropathy.

Autoimmune reaction to inhaling fine pig brain material. The immune system (of those affected) sensed those as an antigen and mounted a response. Unfortunately, the response became autoimmune and began attacking nerve tissue in those affected.

Around 20 people were affected. All are doing fine now, but a fraction still require ongoing treatment.

They don't blow pig brans anymore.

544 "but did it get him laid?"

Don't know--he was a very wealthy gay kid from an international banking family. Smart and funny as hell, very nice.

A gay guy from the same department as me and some of my friends used to bring him sometimes, but I did not get the sense they were dating, just friends.

Slapweasel, lol! Jan spoke much more briefly when he did it (he said it sounded a bit like barking to him), so it was much harder to filter.

not tonight, I mean way back when. I kept seeing these really cool posts but I had no idea what the term meant. I doubt I have every googled another nic

546 sometimes we would ask him to do it, to make us laugh--it always sounded to me like the first time you watch a BBC comedy in a while, where you sort of think you know what they said, but it went by so fast you really have no clue

Posted by: barbarausa at June 14, 2021 01:55 AM (W7IZQ)

547 Slap, it's good to see you.
Posted by: AmericanKestrel at June 14, 2021 01:43

549 He was hilarious late at night at parties, when he would speak what he
called "fake English" to people one drink or hit from passing out; it
sounded exactly like English, but as if you just hadn't quite caught
what he said.
there is an Episode of Just Shoot Me! where they make a fake word of the day calendar for Nina Van Horn. I wish I could pull up that video, but I guess that is one the internet missed out on. She kept using nonsense words in an attempt to sound smart. The brainiac interviewer went along with it because she was so hot. That was legit comedy. Today it would be cancelled, but who cares?, F them.

550 so who was it that murdered the thread?

Posted by: confederatefifth at June 14, 2021 02:19 AM (MMtX5)

551 Mornin', all

552 HI MLII

Posted by: Quint at June 14, 2021 02:27 AM (gJfTA)

553 Hi Quint!

Posted by: My Life is Insanity at June 14, 2021 02:29 AM (k/rH4)

554 Pixy is up. Everyone upstairs?

Posted by: My Life is Insanity at June 14, 2021 02:43 AM (k/rH4)

555 it is quiet in here tonight. Too quiet. I wish I had something to say but I am out lol.

Posted by: Quint at June 14, 2021 02:46 AM (gJfTA)

556 Quint! You always have something to say. And it's always interesting!

I've learned a lot from commenters here, things that have made me research stuff i otherwise wouldn't have.

557 I've learned a lot from commenters here, things that have made me research stuff i otherwise wouldn't have.

Posted by: My Life is Insanity at June 14, 2021 02:50 AM (k/rH4)

Same here. You and I have had some great conversations over the years. I have probably opened up to you more than anyone else. It works both ways though. We learn from each other, and get new ideas from each other.

Posted by: Quint at June 14, 2021 02:55 AM (gJfTA)

558 This morning I feel too tired to care about learning anything new.

Good thing my peon job is easy enough to just go through the motions today, no one will be the wiser!

Ah, that's not really true. My regular customers will notice if I'm not my usual self.

Posted by: My Life is Insanity at June 14, 2021 03:09 AM (k/rH4)

559 I'm getting up and upstairs, maybe they have coffee

Posted by: Skip at June 14, 2021 03:09 AM (Cxk7w)

560 Coffee's good. But are they serving breakfast, Skip?

Posted by: My Life is Insanity at June 14, 2021 03:10 AM (k/rH4)

561 not easy to murder a thread of this quality

Posted by: confederatefifth at June 14, 2021 03:21 AM (MMtX5)

562 Can't add anymore this morning.

I'd better head out, it's Monday after all.

Try to make it a good day, all

563 Jefferson did withdraw from his friends John and Abigail Adams over politics - in fact, he subsidized a yellow journalist to slander Adams, because he (Jefferson) wanted to be president. Fortunately, years later, their mutual friend Benjamin Rush brought them back together, and their correspondence is a joy to read: learned, articulate, witty. Jefferson's letter of condolence to Adams after Abigail's death is deeply moving. And these are the men the "woke" fools of our day want to erase.
