this is not how Hollywood and most teachers told it back in the day

 


I am sure I wasn't the only thirteen year old in jr. high who began to question how a few hundred Spaniards (sometimes the story might be British, Portuguese, French, etc.) could cross an ocean in a tiny wooden boat and conquer and kill "millions". Often times it was as the author explains in this video and not simply because they were "bloodthirsty" Europeans lusting for Gold.

An Interesting Story From The Beginning Of The Nuclear Age...

On January 3rd, 1961, emergency responders were dispatched to the SL-1 reactor at the National Reactor Testing Station near Idaho Falls after heat sensors triggered an alarm at 9:01 PM.

Inside the reactor building, three military technicians were performing a routine restart procedure on an experimental Cold War-era reactor. A task meant to take seconds turned into a gruesome scene in a matter of milliseconds.

 The 2026 spring equinox (vernal equinox) occurs on
Friday, March 20, at 10:46 a.m. EDT. This moment marks the official start of astronomical spring in the Northern Hemisphere, when the sun aligns directly over the equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths.

 

Enjoy your Friday!

"Six hunnert haws-pow-ah."

 

600 HP Snow Natural Gas Pumping engine at Coolspring June 2013.  Shown here is the start-up operation and shutdown of this most impressive engine. After several years of hard work, the job had progressed where the crew was able to perform a few test runs.  On this particular test ( the fourth start-up) a few mechanical adjustments had been made and on-line fuel valve settings performed.  My hats off to a truly incredible volunteer effort by the Coolspring Museum staff 

 This engine was manufactured by the Snow-Holly Works of Buffalo, New York, and is serial number G329.  It has two tandem 24 inch bore x 48 inch stroke cylinders that are double-acting.  Total displacement is 86,800 cubic inches or 1,423 liters.  The rated output of the engine is 600 hp at 100 RPM which yields a torque value of 31,500 ft-lbf.

Give 'Em Hell Coach!

 BREAKING: Sen. Tommy Tuberville just told leftists to SCREW OFF after they got triggered he called Muslims "the enemy inside the gates" Q: "Do you have any regrets?" TUBERVILLE: "NO, I don't have ANY regrets whatsoever! I meant every word I said!" THAT'S how you do it, senator! 🔥 "The enemy is inside our gates. We got them here. Joe Biden and Barack Obama brought them here by the thousands. It's a disgrace!" "You know, if you preach or teach Sharia law, you need to go home!" "You don't fit in the United States of America. We're a Christian country. If you pray to the Quran, the Quran speaks 'kill all infidels.' And infidels are people that are not Muslims. And that means all Americans and all Christians that are not Muslims. So I have no regrets!" Tuberville represents a red state and he acts like it. This is what every GOP senator should do.

"Nothing Past This Does Much Better"

 This is an interesting video showing the accuracy of an eighty plus year old rifle setup. The shooter/spotter team know how to put rounds on target. Though antiquated, vintage surplus Mauser rifles can be deadly accurate. I have seen similar from scoped '03 Springfield and  91/30 Mosin Nagant rifles. As a note, I did not watch past the k98 segment.

A Short, Amazing, Documentary Of The 1982 Mount Washington Rescue Of Two Climbers...

 

 

 

 

 

"109° BELOW", an Arc’teryx film, tells the gripping true story of a 1982 mountain rescue on Mount Washington—often called the coldest place on earth due to its extreme weather. Caught in a brutal storm during a winter hiking trip, 17-year-old Hugh Herr and his partner became stranded in deadly conditions, triggering a heroic alpine rescue attempt. The mission, carried out by elite volunteers, ended in tragedy with the death of rescuer Albert Dow, while both climbers suffered severe frostbite.

 

This powerful survival story explores the harsh realities of mountaineering dangers and extreme cold survival. Featuring Herr, Joe Lentini, and Alexa Siegel, the film connects a climbing accident to the birth of transformative innovation: Herr’s eventual work in MIT Biomechatronics, reshaping prosthetics for athletes. Blending themes of hiking safety, mountain rescue, and human resilience, "109° BELOW" stands out as a raw and moving tribute to those who risk everything in unforgiving conditions.

Evil Exists.. How Do You Prepare Against /Prevent A Random Act Like This?

 

Such a sad story. Danvers is quiet North Shore town in Mass.

Danvers, Massachusetts, is generally considered an upper-middle-class, affluent suburban town rather than a purely "upscale" luxury enclave. It has a high median household income and a robust real estate market, but maintains a more suburban, family-friendly feel compared to surrounding wealthier coastal towns.


Anthony DeMayo, an 18-year-old Bishop Fenwick High School student, was ordered held without bail Friday after police said he confessed to the disturbing random murder of 69-year-old Janet Swallow in Danvers, Massachusetts.

Arkansas Man Under The Charge Of Murder Wins GOP Primary In Sheriff's Race

 

Aaron Spencer shot and killed the man who allegedly "abused" his daughter. He also just won the Lonoke County primary as a candidate for sheriff last week. Story



The results of the primary inclines me to believe the one who got shot might have "needed killing". Of course, I don't know that. Surely there is more than what we are reading/seeing, but for what ever reason Aaron Spencer still won his race. One of the stories I read said Spencer, after forcing the guy off the road, shot the alleged abuser 15 times and then pistol whipped him in the face. For now I am going with a classic case of FA-FO and got elected.

The Stone Walls Of New England, Built By Hand From The Left Over Glacial Till As The Farmers Cleared Their Fields....

 

 This wall is roughly 3-4 feet tall in some areas.

It's amazing to think about the amount of work that went into digging up, moving and then stacking all these boulders.  

There at tens of thousands of miles of these 'walls' built our of necessity not decoration.

For those interested here are a couple links about these walls that criss-cross New England.

A Somber Visualization...

Last night, a clip about this memorial came up on my facebook feed. A sobering reminder

of what was lost. 

 

The "Counting the Cost" memorial, located at the American Air Museum in Duxford, England, is a 52-panel glass sculpture commemorating over 7,000 US aircraft lost during WWII operations from UK bases. The etched panels line the entrance ramp, visually representing the immense scale of losses with silhouettes of bombers and fighters. 

    Location: Imperial War Museum (IWM) Duxford, near Cambridge, UK.

    Significance: Honors over 30,000 US airmen who died while flying from UK bases during World War II.

    Design: The 52 glass panels are divided into two segments (43 on the left, 9 on the right) and feature engraved silhouettes of aircraft, acting as a "missing in action" memorial.

    Details: The panels include engravings representing the USAAF 8th Air Force (6,346 lost) and 9th Air Force (692 lost).

No You're Not Going Crazy.. One Last Update On FFFF

 

 So, 30 mins into the post, it got flagged.

I sent it back for review, untouched.

In the meantime I added the after dark post so those so inclined could enjoy that.

At that time I went to delete the link on the last 'follow the ladder' image on the original post.

I was only working on my phone and when I went to delete the link, I must have

fat-thumbed it and  somehow grabbed the whole post and deleted it.

Other than the "Stay safe out there" ending.

FUCK.

So, being the best host I can be, I went back down to the bunker, fired up the desktop,

and reinstalled the pictures. For what ever reason, they loaded in the opposite order I 

had originally had them listed.  

So, you're not going crazy.

Longtime Fan Of The Blog Prayer Request....

 


"One of my sisters, the youngest of three, she’s 65, has been battling brain cancer since early December. The tumor has been shrinking with chemo, but as with all cancer chemo, it’s taking its toll on her physically."

 

"Today during a routine scan they found another brain tumor, located in the same region. Her care team is greatly distressed at this finding. Due to her diminished physical state, they are unsure whether she can endure more chemo."

 

"Would I be imposing to ask that you appeal to the Feral Irishman community for prayers for her recovery?"


Not imposing at all.  

Dear readers, If you are so inclined, please say a prayer or offer positive thoughts for "Fran".
