14 Black Walnut trees are the spawn of the devil. If you've ever had one in your yard, you know. If you've ever been foolish enough to try to remove the hull, you know.

56 Pollet was primarily a city fellow -- Greenwich Village, for instance, and Paris -- but he loved his rural landscapes.

This one is from 1945, and that car there is way pre-war. Who knows if it actually still runs. It oculd have been sitting there since 1940.

You can feel the humid heat in this one, and smell the grass and flowers.

What is that guy in the lower left doing? I thought that was a dog to his right, but then there are three similar creatures to his left and beyond him. Is he herding the dogs back into the house?

The boy in the swing looks kind of like the autistic kid playing the banjo so well in Deliverance.

Posted by: Bulg at March 19, 2025 09:39 AM (77rzZ)

58 Wow I really like this. Grok says it is:

American Regionalism, which emerged in the 1920s and 1930s as a reaction against European modernism, focusing instead on realistic portrayals of rural America, often with a sense of nostalgia for simpler times.

64 Black walnut trees are self-weeding, in that their nut casings rot and the leavings infuse the soil with a natural preventative that makes for no competing tree seeds sprouting under their canopy.

It's herbaceous discrimination and it's legal.

The left-wing American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and Soros-linked Democracy Forward sued the Trump administration on behalf of five illegal aliens accused of being gang members to stop the deportations — though planes of nearly 300 gang members had already taken off for El Salvador.

I like this. The colors are great. The peaceful country setting. Reminds me of home when I was a kid.

However..... The mom in me thinks that table is too close to the swing and when the kid jumps off the swing at height.... There's a trip to the ER waiting to happen. Move the table and that big rock looking thing that's next to it and you're golden!

Thanks CBD!

True. But 2 world wars depleted walnut trees so that the US military started experimenting with other woods for stocks before it got rid of them altogether.

You can still get good walnut for sporter stocks in the US, Claro from CA has excellent figure for example but synthetic stocks have made big inroads because they require a minimum of care and can be lighter but stiffer with minimal changes due to humidity in the field.

I rebuilt old military bolt action rifles for myself for a time and worked with walnut stocks, among others, but always worked on walnut stocks outside with a particulate mask when sanding, etc. as I am allergic to its dust.

Fine with it once the traditional linseed finish is on it. Did not have that problem with beech, coachwood, maple, or birch.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon

Maple, ash, and hickory (even cherry) were used in old timey muzzleloaders as those gunsmiths took what they could find locally. Maple, especially some varieties, can be really tough on woodworking tools like chisels, gouges, etc. Harder than walnut. Ash has a splitting problem supposedly but I haven't worked enough with ash for projects to know much about it. Cherry apparently made primo stocks but too rare for regular production and the small amount of cherry I have worked with in the past seems ideal for gunstocks. Right now, for those that like premium sporter stocks, you are seeing some unique woods like hackberry nowadays.

Part of the reason for the CR was to allow space for DOGE to go to all departments. By having the CR in place, it allows recission bill(s) to be passed to take back that money. That resolution(s) only require a majority vote in the House and Senate (no filibuster) to rescind that spending. But, you have to have a current spending bill in place in order to use that device.

That allows Congress to focus on next FY 2025 spending bills due by October 2025 using regular order and able to apply reconciliation process (no filibuster) to it. First use of the reconciliation process will be to extend and make permanent tax cuts. Second, could be FY 2026.

Pricey. Never messed around with zebra wood but seen it in a woodshop that I go to now and again for cabinet projects.

Chimney was pronounced "chimbley", filter became filther, spigot was spickit. The man could do anything he turned his hand to. He built his own house, mechaniced his own vehicles, played guitar, enjoyed woodworking, was a farmer, a veteran of the Vietnam conflict, a dedicated husband and a great father. He couldn't spell for shit, his handwriting was barely legible and the way he pronounced some words was hilarious.

Very possible that US is using contract air services and Boasberg wants to get their names to go after them regardless of the effect on nat sec. Guy is a well known pig that delighted in allowing violations on the FISA court that CJ Roberts personally picked him to preside over. He deserves to have his balls in a vise with Trump lawyers turning them.

By the way, did you know that CJ Robert's key permanent staffer Sheldon Snook is married to Mary McCord (she of the Obama and Biden administration, staffer to the impeachment committee for Pelosi, etc. etc.).

Roberts is dirty and he is trying to cover his ass for putting Boasberg in place to harass Trump and Boasberg appointing Mary McCord as amicus to the FISA court to cover up the mess of judges approving illegal FBI FISA warrants on Trump administration figures.

As for wood-caused problems: I learnt the hard way that you DO NOT work African Purple Heart with power tools. It's a hard, dense wood (and the piece I was working was also oily). When I tried to cut it to shape with a bandsaw, it threw off tons of purple-ish smoke. Within 10 or 15 minutes, I thought I was going blind. Excessive tearing, blurred vision, burning, etc - that didn't wear off until the next day. I just got lucky with that one 'cos there was no residual damage. Never worked with Purple Heart again using power tools - it was all hand-work from then on.

Not all justices or even judges are dirty like Roberts. Thomas and Alito for example. Rehnquist wasn't.

I think the looting started going in high gear when Clinton appointed a lot of judges, many of which, were outsiders seeking to get rich quick from the taxpayer. Obama purposefully put a lot of looters on the bench as did Biden. Then you have the GWB judges which were a very mixed lot--some were grifters, some have been revealed as posers, and some as sound judges.

Even some of the oldline Reagan judges like Royce Lamberth seemed to have gone sour in Sodom City DC. There truly is a swamp in DC.

The one that I was most careful with was a Japanese Arisaka stock. The Japanese finished them with Japanese lacquer derived from the sumac trees over there. Nasty stuff giving contact dermatitis. Used a stripper called Soygel to gently remove the finish for disposal. Soygel takes time but does the job even on poly finishes but without toxic fumes, etc. Also combined with another product, you can use it to safely strip lead based paint finishes. Common on old furniture. Have a family desk, if I can manage to get my hands working properly (inflammatory arthritis) that needs to refinishing using that.

Article III was set up fine. What changed was the drastic expansion of federal jurisdiction and mountains of laws to fight over. The federal courts are hearing disputes now the framers would never have permitted.

What also changed in the last few decades is the utter corruption of the courts and judges. Literally every one of the Hawaiian Judges has a close relative profiting off decisions the judge makes. These aren't "judges" so much as just other oozing tentacles in the fat retarded Cthulhu that is the entire deep state.

A tree companies regularly made offers to harvest those trees. He finally agreed and retired a short time later. Not sure how much he got. I just recall they were all very tall, with fairly straight thick trunks. I also recall throwing green walnuts as a kid. They were everywhere in the yard.

341 I will gently mention my opinion that at some part of the process a Constitution (any, not just ours) would probably need to have some kind of mechanism to enforce it. I've been thinking recently that ours is written to govern intellectually honest men of honor so it didn't need some big guy with a stick when it was adopted.

Of course, that mechanism can be corrupted as well.

So really, I guess the ultimate enforcement would be the 2A. Still, something that's been occupying my thoughts while watching this rogue judiciary.

Appreciate it. Psoriatic is also called wandering arthritis as it picks and chooses a joint to attack. One of the differentiations between psoriatic and rheumatoid (other than psoriasis plaques) is rheumatoid attacks joints symmetrically at the same time. Psoriatic picks a joint, chews on it awhile, then suddenly attacks another.

You get inconsistent blood test results with psoriatic as well with rheumatoid demonstrating more consistent CRP and Rh inflammation test results.

The enforcement is to ruthlessly reduce the size, scale, and power of the national government. People can move away from a tyrannical state, but not so easy to switch countries. Ideally, within a state, every effort should be to push the power of that state to the local level as well.
