    Not good

    Step, I think we have 4 years of no income tax on SS. That probably doesn’t apply to rich people, but I don’t have anything to worry about there. About the hand holding, the other recent presidents were probably too slippery to hold onto🤪.

    Not good

    The Treasury Secretary disagrees with the 3 trillion and this is the first I’ve heard about 5 trillion. On the one hand, the Biden admin. gave away massive amounts of our ordinance and made our military less effective with DEI and lack of support, so lots of $ to recover and prepare for big...

    Happy 4th

    Happy 4th to all you guys. We’re not perfect, but we have a GREAT country, very worth celebrating.

    My rant and rave today.

    Yes - rubber on the floor and you could see and work all around the engine (and in those days, we knew how to work on them). Hose out the cab, turn off the dome light, with an actual mechanical switch, and leave the doors open to dry out. If you had a miss in the engine, you pulled off plug...

    My rant and rave today.

    I had a ‘75 Ford F-250 that my dad bought new when he retired. Over the years we rebuilt the 390, and got the transmission and rear end done. It drank gas, but got the job done. I think I hauled about 10 tons of concrete demo, between truck and trailer to the dump once - it was wallowing -...

    👍 on the 2A stuff. Here in one-party Oregon, the state legislature is really going after it.

    ANCHOR DECK PIPE

    You know Step, that might be just the ticket. Multi tool is an amazing thing. They do tend to be hard to control for precise cuts, so for a deck hole, making a template and taping it down solid could be a good system. For a round hole, I’d still use a hole saw, and follow Spare’s advice. For...

    ANCHOR DECK PIPE

    A problem I’ve had, drilling holes through the foredeck for bolts is getting through into the carpet glued to the underside. It grabs the drill bits and breaks them off. Really surprised me the first time it happened. I don’t recall how I got around the problem, but it got a couple of bits...

    Nice to see everyone

    For those of you who don’t know lumberslimger - he has an absolutely beautiful boat that’s beautifully cared for. Hi lumber - nice to see you’re around.

    Iran nuc’s

    Well, he did it. I don’t think there was any alternative, and he showed exceptional restraint. He gave them more chances than anyone could say weren’t more than enough. There are so many “what happens next” possibilities that we’ll just have to watch and see, but I’m confident that we and...

    I’d have to do some research to argue the point further, and that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. I’ll have to leave you with the last word, somewhat sceptically.

    Happy. Birthdays

    Tax cuts and then Covid, which paralyzed the economy. We were shrinking instead of growing - difficult to predict when the tax cuts were passed. Yes he increased borrowing to fund very necessary help for businesses and individuals to still be around when we could get back to work. Biden threw...

    Happy. Birthdays

    I don’t think Trump ever declared bankruptcy. He did file bankruptcy for, I believe, more than one of his businesses - he uses the tools legally available to solve his business problems when they arise. I do think we’re circling the drain financially, with national debt service approximately...

    President Obama vs Trump on deportations

    I forgot to mention ballots that fraudulently didn’t make it to be counted. There was also the dishonest suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop, which implicated Joe in criminal activity, the incessant lying about Trump’s Russian collusion, the dishonest, wildly biased negative “reporting” and...

    Happy. Birthdays

    He has leaned on NATO countries to pony up, so we aren’t carrying such a hugely disproportionate share of free world defense, and is going after waste and fraud like no one before him that I’m aware of. Again, the Reagan tax cuts, “estimated’ to add to the deficit, if I recall correctly...

    President Obama vs Trump on deportations

    I agree that we shouldn’t discount news just because we don’t like it. Regarding the 2020 election, I don’t know either way, but with very thin margins in swing states and the data mining documentary that was done, I think there was enough question to require a thorough and honest investigation...

    President Obama vs Trump on deportations

    I did some looking up, and apparently the definition by which Obama’s “removal of illegals” is reported is based on court orders for removal, not who actually left, so it’s unknown. The Trump administration is: 1) Targeting criminals, and 2) Hindered as much as possible by judges, sanctuary...
