Survival just got easier

The up grade of the Mobile Survival facility has been completed. The unit pictured is better than tent camping, but only slightly. True, you can cook, bathe, sleep, cool your beer and perform basic living functions with out going outside. If there are two of you then getting by each other assumes the aspect of military maneuvers. Most likely someone is going outside.


















Some difficulties include, literally climbing into bed, then there is the climb down in the morning
when the knees hate me, as much as I hate them. The first step to get in the door raises my knee well above the waist line, not good at all.The door to the
toilet isn't wide enough to pass my shoulders and we ain't gonna comment on the tummy.

The slide in camper is a marvel of compactness, sort of like Tetras on wheels. This unit has no AC, it's wired for it, but there is no unit. Both the space heater and the water heater are manually lit. The holding tanks have no monitor panel. The list of issues goes on and on. It weighs in at 1852 lbs.


















This unit has several very civilised additions to the mundane that I wouldn't have thought about. An outside shower, outside storage access, A battery for lights and water when you are unhooked from the truck charging system. The key selling points include the comfortable sofa, in addition to the dinette seats. A queen size bed that you can get into without scaling a wall. A closet that will hold clothes. Very importantly, Air Conditioning!


















The standard improvements include the monitor panels, two TV shelves, storage under everything, clock radio/CD player, and a fridge big enough to cool more than one beer and one jar of mayo at the same time. All the gas powered things are auto light. ( I was amazed by that)

The wall between the bed room and kitchen will get a thirty two inch wide screen TV, with a DVD player on the TV shelf behind it. The kitchen TV shelf will get a digital weather station. The bed room will get blackout curtains all around.




















This one weighs in at 4600 lbs, or about half the towing capacity of my truck. It also has electric brakes, and believe it or not my truck was already wired for them.

Short Guns I have Known 1

I would like to preface this series by saying, although I'm a certified instructor and a life long gun nut, I am not a know-it-all. I have shot many different weapons, I reserve the right to fire any hand gun that is new to me, when I teach a fire arms class. I get around a little, in some odd groups, some military, some police, and know a couple of murderous bastards who always have something nasty in their pocket. I am always interested in new things to shoot. I've had the chance to shoot hand guns ranging from a river boat gamblers break top .38SW revolver to the newest Walther 9mm. That doesn't cover everything by any means, but it's a good sample.

These weapons are all legally owned.

The pistol pictured above is a Jennings / Bryco .22 semi auto. It is the Saturday night special everyone is terrified of. It cost the grand sum of $65. The weapon is a lot of fun to shoot. It comes with two clips that hold seven shots each. It is surprisingly accurate considering the cast in place sights, the twenty or so pounds of ragged trigger pull, and the totally inadequate grips. With the use of carefully managed trigger control, one can hit regularly a three inch circle ten or so feet away. Not a tack driver, but if you sit on someones chest and stick it up their nose, entirely adequate for self defence. The body silencer position is also adequate. I know people who have shot these things to death, the top of the slide completely worn through. Like I said a lot of fun to shoot.

.

I bought this on on the recommendation of a retired SF type who made the statement, "I like these because if you ever have to use it, you just kick it under a coke machine and it will never be found, you just report it stolen."

.

As I said odd circles.

.

This gun can be easily covered by my double extra lovely hands, however, as it has three moving parts and a plastic safety, there isn't enough money readily available to persuade me to stick it in my pocket.

There are some places that a tourniquet just wouldn't do!

Edwards Will Force Health care Program On Everyone
by Jay @ 4:45 pm. Filed under ACLU, Abortion, Communism, News, Politics As Usual
Wow! Whatever happened to Democrats being pro-choice? Will this forced health care pay for abortions too? Don’t Democrats believe that women should make their own health care decisions? Talk about totalitarianism! Flip says:
The front running Democrats are just tripping over themselves in their efforts to one-up the unspeakable idiocy of each other’s health care plans.
“I’m mandating health care for every man woman and child in America and that’s the only way to have real universal health care.”
“Every time you go into contact with the health care system or the government you will be signed up.”
During a press avail following the event Edwards reiterated his mandate:
“Basically every time they come into contact with either the health care system or the government, whether it’s payment of taxes, school, going to the library, whatever it is they will be signed up.”
When asked by a reporter if an individual decided they didn’t want health care Edwards quickly responded, “You don’t get that choice.“
Hmmm…here is a scary thought. How is Edwards planning on enforcing this? Role model?



The Breck Girl is a communist, big surprise!

The logic is impeccable, from the Democrat perspective, save the poor, dumb, idjits from the fate they have worked so hard for.

It's for their own good!

We'll make the rich who have worked hard and made good decisions pay the slackers way. That way I can assuage my guilt, by giving money (health care isn't free) to the lazy, and you can pay for it! It's a lose,win,win deal! Most importantly, I'm not the loser! It's the middle class that will bear the brunt, and they're too dumb to catch on, but well enough off to pay more taxes!

Will anyone ever pay attention to the fact that every well has a bottom, and the faster you draw from it the sooner it goes dry? The big earners are retiring in droves, and the on coming generation doesn't want to work! Where will the money come from?

Some things you just can't do....

The Love of My Life and I were discussing the little confection pictured here. She allowed that whom some ever gave her that particular garment should give her a smaller size. I denied buying it, and suggested perhaps her youngest had purchased it.

Whereupon she informed me that they were so big, I could put them on. (!!!!!!!!)

Nope! Ain't happening.

I figured the sight of my hairy butt and such hangin' out of a red lace thong would put the Dog in therapy for life, and I just can't afford that.

Thank God for pets!

Up date

The Mother-in-law is home and doing much better. At least she isn't praying aloud for everyone to get out of her house.



The mother-out-law is still in the witch doctors hut, now has Pneumonia. Never a good thing.



The internet connection just croaked, bastards! It's been doing this all weekend!

Clocks in Heaven

A man died and went to Heaven.

As he stood in front of St. Peter at the pearly gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him.

He asked, Why are all those clocks here?

St. Peter answered, Those are Lie-Clocks.
Everyone on Earth has a Lie-Clock.
Every time you lie, the hands on your clock move.

I see, replied the man, very interesting . . . whose clock is that?

Mother Teresa's clock, answered St. Peter. The hands have never moved, indicating that she has never told a lie.

Incredible! exclaimed the man. And whose clock is that one?

St. Peter responded, That's Abraham Lincolns clock.
The hands have moved only twice, telling us that Abe has told only two lies in his entire Life.

Wheres Hillary Clintons clock?, asked the man.

Hillary's clock is in God's office. He's using it as a ceiling fan.

Well Imagine that
