SN:AFU

Some may be wondering what I've been up to and why haven't I been posting. Simple question and as simple an answer. The trouble is, after I give you the answer I'd have to kill you, so we won't go there.

Okay, just kidding. It hasn't been that much fun, but it's been real.

Most people are aware of Internet Explorer and Bill Gates' baby Windows. For some damn reason, neither of them likes me. (I wonder if it's cuz I write them some really nasty letters about the POS they sell?) Anyway, Mr. Gates' brainchild has been giving me fits by not opening any sites for more than three seconds before the page goes blank and I read, "Internet Explorer is unable to open this page". Gee. Really? Thanks, Bill, you dipshit. One of the letters to them was so nasty the next day the 'puter wouldn't even function for several hours. Once on the air it worked fine. (I guess no worker likes being told that if the writer was their boss they'd be fired for not doing their job and that their boss was going to hear about this situation.) I also told them I was going to write about this and am going to tell everyone I ever hear about buying a computer to get a Mac, 'cuz Windows not only sucks, it... sorry, gotta keep it clean.

There's been plenty of excitement on the web, and I'm certain most of you are not only aware of what's going on but are posting it- or someone else is writing your blogs- so I won't rehash the BS coming out of the District of Criminals or what the Dark Lord has been promulgating. (Needless to ask, but: You do have your insurance premiums paid up for the next ten years, right?)

On the home front, not a lot has changed : still waiting for summer to get here. I think news about Gorebal Warming is a few years premature to the northern hemisphere. Maybe twenty years too early, if not several thousand. At the moment, we're in a Mini Ice Age up here and everyone's suffering. Not only has it been cold, but the tundra is dry and fire danger is way up there for this time of year.

The garden isn't exactly a garden any longer, as are quite a few here. Frost in the second week of June kinda put the kibosh on things that grow green. Or rather, are supposed to. Tubers should be doing good, though.

Firewood has been growing in the yard- good thing, too, 'cuz I really think it's going to be a long cold winter, lots of snow. (Put BIG smiley face here 'cuz I hate hot weather!)

On the personal agenda, I received an Email from the regional director of Habitat for Humanity in the first week of May asking if I knew of anyone who wanted a summer job supervising crews on the area's Habitat homes. I didn't know of anyone and said so, told him if he couldn't find who he needed, to give me a call.

Two days before the deadline he Emailed and asked if I could do it. Since news has been the same since last November, I told him I could and that, in a nutshell, is what I've been up during the day. Ergo, the summer hasn't been a complete waste due to IE going tits-up for a while. Maybe it was fortuitous? (Or is the word serendipitous?)

Some of you have written and asked about my health, etc, and I deeply appreciate your concern. It's wonderful and warming to know there are people concerned about one's well-being. God bless and thank each and every one of you.

Hopefully IE is going to hold together long enough now to get a few more posts in before TSHTF.

Oh- I do have some interesting news...about my 'dream weapons' written of on the MNPrep blog... a loyal reader named Paul Emailed that if I was interested, he had a rifle I might like to look at. He described it and...yup: Shy got his 'dream rifle'. Marlin 94 in .357 caliber. She's a beauty, looks NIB though there was no box. It had a minor problem Paul told me he didn't like and was the reason he was selling it. But, 200 miles later and a quick trip to the Fleet Supply solved the problem. And, yes, Paul- it's shooting fine now. (VERY BIG SMILEY FACE HERE!) Thank you. Will be posting pix and field reports on it soon. From the initial firing I managed to keep a three inch circle at fifty yards off-hand with it, so it should be a shooter.

Again, thank each and every one of you for your patience and faithfulness.

Bless God, God bless.

New Model S and W

Every now and then a manufacturer comes up with a design that is sure to be copied by every company available, even some that aren't yet around.

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you the newest model Liberator Arms Co. revolver created especially for those of us who have Liberal anti-firearm Democrat friends who may not be feeling as joyous as they once were over election of their Great One. Or maybe they're feeling a bit worried about their home security due to the increasing residential crime they've been hearing about. Or perhaps they live in California, which now has cities so poor they are refusing to try criminal cases such as burglary, assault, battery and auto theft.

Or maybe they now realize the police can't be every where to protect them within seconds.

Now is some good news for them.

Liberator Arms Co. has just announced a new handgun that is designed just for the person who is unfamiliar with (and possibly afraid of) handguns, yet wants to have adequate protection-- the Model18044L(Liberal).

You will note the handsome, powerful weapon is a commemorative model which proudly bears the Democratic Ass and a capital "D"!

Tell your Democratic friends to be sure to get their order in early as there will be a very high demand for these collector weapons.

Note from Shy: this is not a serious piece and in no way reflects upon the Smith and Wesson company nor any of its affiliates. Done purely in jest, Smith and Wesson does not endorse nor (probably) condone this humor. I wish no harm to befall any manufacturer of arms of any kind and wish Smith and Wesson's next year is even more lucrative than this year.

Also, I am not the producer of this picture/ad and wish to thank the person who did it- the piece is part of an Email forwarded from a friend (who shall remain nameless).

Minnesota Tea Parties

For all you Minnesota Patriots: Come one, come all to a tea party near you!

Below is a listing of all the Tea Parties planned thus far for Minnesota. The included link also will allow viewers to find parties planned for their state. Be sure to attend one near you.

As Americans, it is our duty- and, yes, I want to point accusing fingers and make people feel guilty (guilt works for libs, ought to work for Patriots!)- to ourselves, our children, our grandchildren, and our Founding Fathers and the Constitution, to perform acts of Civil Disobedience in a peaceful manner. Regardless what the PTB want us to believe, "the rights of the people to peaceful assembly shall not be infringed."

So get out and vote!

It is rumored there will be ACORN commies doing their best to disrupt these events, so please be careful, be considerate and peaceful. Do not start arguing with morons cuz all it will prove is two morons can't agree on anything.

Be Patriotic, protest Loudly, protest Peacefully, protest with Dignity.

Each meeting is asking people to bring their cameras- still and video- to document the event. So charge those batteries, bring lots of tape (for video) and a big gig card for your still cam. Also, they are asking people to dress in "period" dress similar to the original Boston Tea Party members. For one, I hope someone thinks to have a tail gate party right after the event.

Thank you, Wyoming. Now if we can just get the other 49 to do the right thing.

Naturally, the Dark Lord is well on his way to Socializing America. Freedom of the Press is a First Amendment right, so naturally he can't have dissenting words hampering his campaign. How to do that? One way he's come up with is to make the Print Media beholding to him.

Naturally he's going to do all he can to confuse and befuddle all those who read the Benevolent Print by controlling the language they use.
