The Wit and Wisdom of Ol' Remus


James Wesley Rawles of The Survivalist Blog fame posted a fitting tribute to blogger and commentator extraordinaire Ol' Remus. For those who knew Ol' Remus and followed, I do no have to explain. For both the un-initiated and once followers of Ol' Remus, fear not as Remus' family maintains his blogsite and many  of his posts/commentaries are archived there. Rawles does an excellent job describing Ol' Remus and his style of writing. I could not add anything more that was not written by Rawles other than these links. Enjoy.

Did Anyone Notice Power Fluctuation Last Week?

  

 Last week when I arrived home, here in So. NH, I did notice that the stove and microwave clocks were flashing.

I just reset them but didn't think anything of it. Now this story may have been the culprit.

H/T to B.S.  Thanks,

Give Those "Bureaucratic Hobgoblins" Hell Son!

 

Jacob Rockwell makes some excellent points about the use of "outdoor prison cameras" vs. American citizens.



This might work with varying degrees of success (Rust-Oleum 214944 ). A Sawz-all or a  suppressed .22 likely could offer more preferable results.

Widener's Headed Out To The Range With NASCAR Cup Series Driver Chad Finchum...

  Hi Irishman,

We recently headed out to the range with NASCAR Cup Series driver Chad Finchum. Our goal was to put together a detailed guide on armor-piercing ammunition that covers the differences between standard .308 Winchester and true AP rounds, how AP projectiles actually work, current legal considerations, and real-world body armor testing with NIJ-certified armor.

I thought it might make a useful reference for you or a resource for your readers. You can read the full article at the link below:

Or, you can watch and share the full video at this link:

Either way, I always enjoy your content and appreciate the work you put into it.

Thanks for taking a look, and keep up the great work!

Best,

Trying to beat the heat



I took these pictures this past week on three different trips. The falls in the videos below are in the same slough and about 75 yards apart. The day was hot, but tolerable with the water and shade. The sound of the two falls was therapeutic. The "sunset photo" was obscured by a mushroom shaped cloud after an almost completely blue sky day. The photo of that lighted cloud is from a lightning storm that popped up just before we reached home. I did manage to get the sun setting in the last photo.

Irish Gets Mooned....

 

Driving west around half an hour ago, I was treated to this view. Obviously it was much

better in person than with the image my iphone potatoe took.  Anyway, waxing crescent moon

and Venus with the haze of the late sunset in the background.

Friday Femme Fatale Farrago.....

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

Adder to this morning's post...

 

  About 10 minutes after that photo,  I gathered my things and headed for the trail down.

As I walked along the ridge I decided to peruse the end of the out cropping of granite that 

extended past the break in the tree line for the trail.

As I walked over, I was startled when I came face to face with a smallish black bear that 

was making his/her way up the far side of the of the rock. 

It was probably a yearling. The size of a large dog. He/she was startled and turned tail and 

ran back to the woods. I retreated back to the trail and kept an eye on my 6. Making sure

it wasn't still hanging around with Mom. 

That is the first time I have come in contact with any wild life on my adventures. There are signs

of deer and moose but nothing else. Quite the interesting morning start to the day for sure.

My phone was in my pocket and the encounter lasted a few seconds so no chance to get photos to share. 

I have to wonder it the bear would have walked up on me as I was sitting enjoying the morning sun.

That would have been interesting. 

 

Stop back later if you like

It's Friday , don't ya know.

A Local Shit Show.... A Yuge Problem Given The Heat Wave and The Holiday Weekend...

Haverhill sewage leak still pouring into Merrimack River, governor issues ‘whole-of-government response’

Beaches in Ipswich, Newburyport, Essex and Salisbury remain closed to swimming

Massachusetts is coordinating a statewide response as a sewage overflow in Haverhill continues to dump millions of gallons of wastewater into the Merrimack River, aiming to successfully bypass the break by Wednesday.


“I am optimistic that we will have one of the temporary pipes that will take our normal day flow completely and totally to the waste treatment plant sometime in the next 24 hours,” said Haverhill Mayor Melinda Bennett on Tuesday. “I think that will essentially save the Fourth of July from ruin.”


About 8 million gallons of wastewater have been pumped into the Merrimack River each day since the torrential rain Friday night caused two breaks in Haverhill’s 42-inch sewer pipe, local and state officials said.


The breaks occurred at the South Mill Street Pumping Station, letting most of the city’s wastewater overflow directly into the river downstream of downtown Haverhill instead of being taken to the wastewater treatment plant for several days.

Irish Finds a ‘shroom…

 









What goes around, comes around

 

                                                                 

Karma can be a "biatch" as they say and this case, it was. Jessica Falls 47 of Lanett, AL and Daniel Robbins of Macon, GA were found dead, side by side, in rural Chambers County where Robbins was dumping the body of his girlfriend. Autopsies would confirm later that Robbins had died of a heart attack and Falls had been strangled to death. The bodies were discovered after someone called emergency services and reported a truck sitting in the middle of a rural road with the drivers side door open and the engine running. When sheriff's deputies arrived they discovered "drag marks" from the back of the truck leading into the woods where the two bodies were laying.

They aren't, but they were growing on a rotten Gum stump beside my stormpit. The tallest might be 3.5".

Not that I'll be experimenting or anything, but I later saw the below Joe Rogan video (article is in the link) about multiple people ingesting a specific species of mushrooms and then seeing similar "little people". Click the link for more.  Althouse

The Movie "Citizen Vigilante" Has Been Posted By Elon

 

 A current day "Death Wish" similarity:

Banned in Germany, the home of the director. 

The film follows an ordinary man (played by Hammer) who, enraged by the perceived breakdown of law, order, and systemic failure, delivers violent vigilante justice to criminals and corrupt officials

"Complete And Utter Disaster": South African Farmer Living In Huntsville, AL About Failed DEI Policies.

Scanning over my usual "haunts" this morning I came across this story out of Huntsville, AL about the above pictured farmer and his family living in and dealing with the racial horrors of targeted black  on white violent crime in South Africa and his plight to escape to America, along with why DEI policies are failing. Story
