Serves me right for not getting HHD ready last night. I got out of the habit these last three weeks of traveling. Let’s see who we have in the HHD folder.
Oh, he’ll do.
Never watched Law and Order: SVU, but I could for Chris Meloni.
How come I never heard of this guy before? Booyah!
Hope that will do. Thank you for your attention, and y’all have a good day.

g’morning.
I’m doing some research on some of the new taxes that have gone into effect in CT as of July 1 and I found this:
Connecticut Simultaneously Decriminalizes ‘Real Weed’ and Criminalizes ‘Fake Weed’
It’s a pretty stupid law all around, but here is the one line that just made me think “why?”
Ready for the confusing part? Remember salvia, that weed-like substance that may or may not have caused your college roommate to want to jump out a 6th floor window? The same weed substitute that America’s favorite whore, Miley Cryus [sic], got high off on TMZ.
Seriously? Was that really called for? I mean, I’m no big Miley Cyrus fan, but what the hell?
Oh, and by the way, you fucking burned out piece of trash, if you’re going to randomly sling vile names at someone through some giggling, drugged-out haze, it usually helps to try and spell their name right.
Wiser, I’m collecting links and some initial notes on a series of Crazy CT posts I plan to put up at AOSHQ.
Even in the local papers they have all but ignored the controversial stuff and only talk about the milquetoast issues.
They don’t even want Connecticut citizens to know what the fuck they’ve been up to.

Good morning, holes of jack.
Cyn, I have a question for you. When I lived in Arizona, I experienced some really gnarly sand storms.
Is this one bigger than normal? It seems like one I’ve experienced before. I’m just wondering if it’s because everyone has cell phone cameras now and because youtube is now around
Whattsamatta? You guys got sand in your eyes?
cyn, that dust cloud video is the top entry on the headlines at HotAir.
Mitt F’ing Romney makes me sick! I’ll puke if he’s our candidate.
But everyone else, have a good day!
That was quite a storm, Cyn. Made the morning news here.
The anchor was wondering what cleanup would be like.
This particular dust storm WAS particularly impressive, PJM, at over 5000 feet high and an estimated 60-70 MILES wide. It also seemed darker than usual; it literally went from day to night in a matter of moments. The wind speeds were up-there too, knocking out power to over 10,000 at one point and causing some decent damage from the felling of trees. There is STILL particulate matter in the air from the storm, now over 13 hours old.
Goodness Cyn! Are yall alright? I just saw some crazy dust storm that happened over Phoenix! I’m looking up at the comments and it looks like I’m a day late and all that
Our little storm even made Drudge headline for a bit this morning. The fine dust and sand that has covered everything is a bit eerie; the color outside is even a browny-yellow, almost sepia-looking.
We’re all fine here, Sohos, and we never lost power. One of the things we’ve gotten used to doing is as soon as we hear that a storm is coming, we drop the a/c in the house in the hope that the extra coolness will help us outlast any power outage. We’ve been very fortunate for the last few years.
Read this and look at the pictures and then tell me the jury system works. I’ve been on juries and I was not with my peers. A juror says,
“she was a good mother.”
Really? This is what he considers good? Really?

Oh goodie: we have another chance for a dust storm tonight.
I just read an article about the one that went thru last evening and they estimated its width at 100 miles, speeds between 50 and 60 MPH, and was one mile high. They even shut down our airport for a while. It was a doozie. Typical dust storms/haboobs are maybe 30-40 MPH, 30 miles wide and 1000 feet high.
Oh right- Peej’s joke. I was thinking it was one of his weird little code things he’s always using.

Wut, Texas got no plywood???
Actually, the hailstorm was kinda cool. Never seen one like that before. I’ve previously seen marble-sized hail, but this was different. It was baseball-sized hail bouncing off any solid surface, with awesome noise and wreckage to the foliage. Our pool looked like it was exploding, with all the geysers flying up. The noise from the roof was impressive.
Good show. Not worth $3,000, but still an interesting experience.
How does Tylenol

We’re replacing our roof for the second time in less than 3 years, Michael. Our event was 4/3. Not only the largest hail I’ve ever seen but the longest too. It hailed for somewhere between 10-15 minutes. Nver seen anything like it before.
Michael – Your deductible sucks.
No shit. In Texas, you have to insure for the replacement value, not the fair market value. Meaning, I have to insure my home for a lot more than it is actually worth.
Also, the deductible for normal stuff like fires is minor, but for wind and hail damage, the deductible is 1%. Thus, for those hazards, I am on the hook for the first $12,000. After that, they will take care of us, including temporary housing.
I’m totally fucked if my house gets destroyed by an earthquake or volcano, but those are not serious issues in north Texas.

We have so much hay…
Leon, my niece just stacked 8 tons of hay in her barn.
Who keeps putting Bammy’s mug in the header because you suck.
I have 300 bales. I don’t know how many tons that is. Maybe two.
Wait, it’s like 6 tons.
Leon, do you have any blugrass hay or timothy – preferably 3rd cut.
Or is it just hay hay?
Timothy, alfalfa, rye grass, orchard grass, canary grass. All first cut.
Ok, done with Middlesex. Up next :We the Living.
We the Living.
————–
Awesomeness. You will not be disappointed.
Yea! go to hear MJ. I’ve read Fountainhead, Atlas Shrugged, and Anthem.
go- good.
Only read Fountainhead. One of my favorite books, recently. We the Living should be required reading so that people understand what revolutionary Russia was really like.
First cut hay for pigs is only good for making pellets. Second is useable, third cut on timothy is best.
Atlas was better than Fountainhead, imho.
Regarding the article about Bammo ignoring the debt ceiling…..this is the last line……
Considering the ease with which Obama has violated bankruptcy law, refused to enforce voter fraud laws, and ignored the War Powers Act, what is stopping him from ignoring the debt ceiling.
Screw the commie, why is congress letting him get away with this shit?
I’ve checked it out from the Li-barry a few times, but never got past the first few pages. Maybe I’ll just buy it, which will force me to read it. Was it really good? Were the characters as good as Roark?
I’ll make a note of it, beasn, I imagine the situation would be similar for some of the livestock I’m considering.
Whazzup, bitchez?
I imagine the situation would be similar for some of the livestock I’m considering.
Like rabbits.
Inquire around your place, I bet you can sell to rescues, vets, regular folks. or Craigslist?
HERR! How’s the job and the fambly?
I’ve only read Anthem. I’ve had Atlas Shrugged in my library for several years without reading it. OTOH, I’ve read The Black Arrow, which is what happens when John Galt becomes a costumed vigilante in dystopian New York. It alternated between being a fun, cool read, and utter cringeworthiness.
Leon,
You DID stack the bales loose, with 3-4″ air-space between, yes?
’ve checked it out from the Li-barry a few times, but never got past the first few pages. Maybe I’ll just buy it, which will force me to read it. Was it really good? Were the characters as good as Roark?
Yea, you need to buy it.You need to give it 150 pages, imho, before you’re really into it.
I really liked it, but it took a while to read.
I don’t think he is going to have extra rabbits,
I can’t say that scott’s new avatar is an improvement.
That last one really BECAME you, for me at least.
HERR! How’s the job and the fambly?
Both good! Sophie is almost 5 months now, and trying to crawl. Other kids are good. Work is 60 hours plus and I’m this close to selling the rigging equipment to rehab a 4 million sq ft GM assembly plant on which the real estate deal closed today. That would be a pretty big deal.
Not really planning to sell any livestock at this point. Just looking to dodge the maximum amount of grocery shopping. I figure between eggs, goat milk, and rabbit meat, I’d be all set unless I wanted some beef or veggies.
Fruit trees leon?
Deer love them.
all set unless I wanted some beef or veggies.
Animals are just a way to funnel vegetables to you. Skip the garden
The hay is as well-stacked as Christina Hendricks, Chris.
Imma go to bed. I tired. Later all
No fruit trees out here yet, but I might plant some at the wood’s edge.
We used to have pear, but they got old and overcrowded.
The deer still come for the crab apple.
Deer used to really enjoy eating our rosebushes.
Did anybody write a bawdy limerick about anybody else today?
I was thinking blueberry bushes or some walnut trees if they’ll grow here. And possibly a salt lick “for the horses” that can be reached from both sides of the fence. I’m pretty sure that’s not sportsmanlike, though. Or legal.
Leon
Look into hardwood trees as a long term investment. Last I heard Chestnut trees were bringing over $100k each.
There are some palm trees here that can bring $25k in 30 years…
Black walnut is supposed to grow well here, and be worth $100k a tree at 20 years. I’ll look into chestnut.
Blueberry bushes are great, but not near the wood’s edge. Unless you just want to feed the deer.
I’ve got blueberry bushes (6), gooseberry, goji berry, raspberry, Wild raspberry, wild blackberry, mulberry, peach trees, one apple tree, and four cherry trees.
I want to plant another mulberry.
Blueberry bushes are great, but not near the wood’s edge. Unless you just want to feed the deer.
Mayyyyybe.
Chestnut is rare because a disease killed off a lot of trees, It was really pricy before the die off. I hear cherry brings good money too, with the benefit of eating cherries. Or making something alcoholic with the juice
Sleep well, herr and I’ve got everything crossed that you nail that sale.
Cherries grow really well here, so that might be worth looking into. I don’t like them, but that’s not what they’d be for anyhow.
I could always try some apple trees.
Double check those black walnut values Leon.
The values I found from a google search were more like a couple of thousand for a large one.
The values I found from a google search were more like a couple of thousand for a large one.
Sadness. Oh well. I at least like walnuts.
I miss Elm trees. Frigging Dutch!!
If you can get a years income from 1 tree in 20 years, I’d be planting 10 trees a year. I do not think apple wood is good for much except for smoking bacon with, but I sure do like apples, and juice and cider and jack and sauce and butter. Come to think of it Oranges are not nearly as productive. Smoking with orange chips is awesome!
I swamp maple and poison ivy were worth anything I would be rich.
Most of the walnut trees around here are on public property. The golf course lost a large one to the big-ass storm we had last month. The maintenance guys grabbed the wood quickly.
snickers at MCPO’s joke
My boss curses the Dutch daily. I do not know why, except who would call him a racist?
When I was growing up we had a huge elm right next to the driveway.
My dad hated that tree and was glad to see it go, not sure why but I think it had something to do with sap. I’ve been noticing more of them recently so they might be making a comeback.
We lost all our ash trees a few years ago to the damn borers. I miss them.
Scott – There is a new disease-resistant strain of elm that has been genetically modified by humans. We also had one by our driveway and every spring the old man would bitch about the sap on his car.
Chief,
When I used to go back to NE Kansas to help the grandfolks with the harvest, all the little towns were green tunnels of Elm. Beautiful, coo,l oases in the middle of miles of scorching wheat and corn fields. It was quite refreshing to unload the trucks at the elevators and go into town for a cold Coke.
Now, they are all dead…
The grand-folks, too, for that matter. Me, soon enough.
So it goes…
Carin, do you dry your goji berries to eat them? Are they hard to grow?
Evenin’, tree huggers.
When did this become a tree blog? I don’t think I got that email.
I should get a guide and identify what I’ve got out there now. I think it’s mostly oak, maybe some poplar.
ChrisPy – Our town library was on Elm Street. I remember the lush canopy that you so ably described. When I came back on leave after they had all been cut down, I damn-near cried. A whole street of lovely Victorian homes. . . and all of the trees completely gone.
Sean – Besides eucalyptus (imported), Cali only has scrub oaks.
What is it about men?
Mr. TiFW gets home from work. I made baked potatoes. We have some special “plates” that we use to contain them. He asks where they are located. I tell him “To the left of the sink in the bottom cabinets.”
He comes back into the back room and says he can’t find them. “There’s too much stuff there for me to go looking for them – I’ll just use yours.” (I was already done – he was working late)
So I got up, went to the kitchen, opened up the cabinet door, and there are the dishes, plain as day – right at the top of the slide-out door. “What stuff?”
“Oh – to the left of the SINK….I looked to the left of the stove…..”
Must be that damn “Y” chromosome –
Um, palm trees, orange trees, cypresses…
Theresa, I find things my wife loses that I’ve never even seen.
You’re just being sexist.
Is it all walnuts or just the black walnuts that you can’t grow anything under?
Or did I just dream that one night?
Palms aren’t real trees, orange trees were brought from Spain. . . I’ll give you the cypress, but do they grow all over Cali?
Speaking of dreams, I had a weird one last night.
I was with some friends at the beach, and I saw some Cheese Nips and started to eat them. Then I remembered that I needed to read the ingredient list. So I did, then I had to spit them out really fast, which made me really sad, because they tasted SOOOO good…..
Weird –
Juglone.
Also, not many of them giant sequoias or redwoods in that Pennsylvania, are there, Chief?
I have giant eucalyptus in my neighborhood, and wild scrub in my yard. Did I mention 300 year old live oaks? I forgot my Hickory too..
Juglone.
Fucking magnets–how do they work?
Palms aren’t real trees,
But I can sell a 25 year old Canary Island Date Palm for $25k

Not to mention the 10 Cuban Royal palms I have. (3 of them are 80 years old) and quite grand. The rest are sons of guns err grand royal’s
Sean – Mountain laurels, blue spruce, hickory, walnut, maples, yellow birch, linden, red oak, white ash, sycamore, tulip tree, black willow, Virginia pine, etc., etc., etc.

What are we cooking tonight?
Evening, revvy.
and is any of it pie?
I had messican food for dinner this evening. Too much messican food. I’ve been making strange noises for the last hour or so.
Then I found $20.
Vmax, I sure hope that sick Golden on your FacePlant page pulls through.
dinner tonight was Alabama BBQ.
Seriously, what kind of sadist names his or her son Joyce?
>> dinner tonight was Alabama BBQ.
I kinda miss that every now and then. Even Brunswick stew. Nobody can make that here.
Next rainy day I’m looking forward to cooking in the house again.
We brought back about 5#.
Then we found out the Costco down the street sells it.
Goodnight darling hearts!
It’s hot upstairs by the crappy computer.
Tired.
Night Lauraw.
What’s up with everyone? I have a terrible case of ‘can’t be arsed’ tonight and I’m looking for ways to procrastinate.
Hey cool kids.
Work’s done, dinner’s done, dishes done.
Say, where’s Rosetta been lately?
Oh; here we go: http://is.gd/amjV1S
Next rainy day I’m standing out in it, nekkid.
Rosetta hates us.
Here Revvy; I found you a little something to procrastinate on:
Hello, Cyn.
Thanks to Netflix, I was able to knock out all ten episodes of Archer in 3 nights.
Fun show.
Rosetta hates us.
Well, according to the email I just got from him, not quite all of us.
Listen to what I’m putting down. . .

It’s 20 minutes an episode. It should take you one night, Dave. Two nights, tops.
Howdy Xbrad.
._. That makes my eyes hurt Cyn.
I’m with you, Revvy. That hurt my eyes. Let’s look at something far more pleasant.

Why you h8ing on the trees, MPCO? Why?
>> It should take you one night, Dave. Two nights, tops.
I’m a busy man. I got things to do.
Cyn – I love trees. I just didn’t see much variety when I was in southern California. Unfortunately, Sean took umbrage on behalf of the flora of his state.
OH, CRAP!!!!!

*tackles Cyn, gives her the “dustbuster”
whattup, silly people?
Woman who plays in my concert band comes into the music store tonight with a clarinet she wants to get rid of. She has no idea what it’s worth and asked me if I thought she could get a maybe couple of hundred dollars for it.
I tell her I will so some research and get back to her. She says that she really just wants to get rid of it, as she decided a few years back to try playing clarinet (she plays the oboe now.) She bought this clarinet before she even knoew if she wanted to play it, gave it about a month and decided she didn’t like it.
She also has absolutely no concept of money, as she spends about $60 a week on reeds for her oboe.
So I hit the internet and discover that the clarinet went for about $5k new. She probably paid about $2700 a few years back when she bought it. Seriously, she both a $2700 clarinet before she ever played a single note on a clarinet because she wanted to try it and see if she liked it.
Keep in mind that this woman really cares nothing about money. She almost bought a $2700 Gibson guitar on the way out of the store just because she thought it would look great hanging on her wall of her new house. She’ll probably be back tomorrow to buy it. And she doesn’t play guitar. She just thought it was pretty.
So, now I have a bit of a conundrum. My nephew wants to start playing the clarinet. Mine is worth maybe $60. I played hers tonight and it sounds incredible.
Do I offer her $200 and give mine to my nephew or do I tell her what it’s really worth?
Honestly, she would be happy with the $200 and even happier of she knew I was playing it.
What to do, what to do……..
Heh heh heh
Brother still has his camouflage clothes on. We walked into this bar in my hometown. The waitress asked him his name. She turned the music off, rang a bell to get everyone’s attention and then asked everyone to give him a hero’s welcome.
Everyone came and shook his hand and some guy came up and told the bartender everything my brother ordered was on his tab.
I love my town.
>> She almost bought a $2700 Gibson guitar on the way out of the store just because she thought it would look great hanging on her wall of her new house.
Tell her to buy it. Send it to me. I’ll send her a beat up maple flame Ibanez (blue) and it will look better hanging on her wall than that crappy Gibson.
I’ll pay shipping.
Tell her about your research and then offer her the $200. She’s probably going to be happier knowing that it will be enjoyed than making a profit. Or she might walk out laughing at you. I say you have a 30/70 chance.
Wiser – Honesty. Tell her what it is worth, tell her what you would be able to pay for it, and let the chips fall where they may.
PJM – Quite different from the greetings in ’72 – ’73. Good on ’em!

heh. Owner is considering my thought, knowing he will lose money if I buy the clarinet (he does consignment sales and would make 40% of the sale price) because he got the Gibson when some guy dropped it off a few years back to be repaired and never came back, even after being repeatedly called and mailed about it. It’s been sitting in his basement for years and he basically got it for about the $100 it cost to repair.
Oh PJ, that is so awesome!
Wiser, the obvious answer is pay her $200 for the nice clarinet, give your nephew the crappy one, wait a few weeks, then craiglist/ebay the nice one for $2k, buy another crappy clarinet for yourself, and blow the rest of the money on hookers and blow.
That’s some pretty good advice right there.
Mine wasn’t bad but Cyn’s is better.
Excellent story, peej.
Wiser – Honesty. Tell her what it is worth, tell her what you would be able to pay for it, and let the chips fall where they may.
And I know for a fact that she will never know what it’s worth because she doesn’t own a computer, so she won’t do any research on it, plus she’ll probably forget all about it a day after she sells it.
But you’re probably right. Sucks that I can’t take advantage of this opportunity without guilt. Honestly, she really does not care about the money.
It would be like buying a classic Harley for $500 from an old guy who just found one in his barn and wants to get rid of it.
>> Do I offer her $200 and give mine to my nephew or do I tell her what it’s really worth?
Is this a trick question?
then craiglist/ebay the nice one for $2k, buy another crappy clarinet for yourself,
Nah, if I get this, I would keep it.
It’s a really amazing instrument.
New Poat has been thrown up.
>> It would be like buying a classic Harley for $500 from an old guy who just found one in his barn and wants to get rid of it.
If the old guy hung a $500 price tag on the Harley, yes.
If a Harley dealer offered to do a little research on the value for the old guy, not so much.
Nah, if I get this, I would keep it.
H2 lifestyle fail.
I mean, even if you did keep it, you could have lied to us and told us you didn’t.
[…] The H2 has Big Boob Friday. And some Rule 5 for the ladies […]
