I like spray foam insulation, I find lots of uses for it, and buy it by the case when it is on sale. A few weeks ago I make a little porch, I had a couple pieces of metal roofing so I made a roof over it. But as metal roofing will do, it collects condensation in the right conditions, and then drips on everything under it.….
So I wanted to insulate it, so this idiot/genius (yes, both words apply) got the bright idea to hook a can of it to one of my spray cans. That worked out very well, so now I can think of more uses for it. But if I do a lot of it I will make a can tap so I don’t have to mess with holding can and tilting the tip to feed it to the gun.

Can’t post a picture of me with my new teeth yet, the dental lab man couldn’t get them to fit without hurting like hell. My mouth got sore after a number of tries so giving it a rest until next week. If he can’t get them to fit right, no problem, I have lots of sandpaper and a dremel tool. It figures that my big mouth would be hard to fit. LOL

Mary: "My last boyfriend said he fantasized about having two girls at once." Jill: "Yeah, most men do. What did you tell him?" Mary: "I said, 'If you can't satisfy one woman, why would you want to piss off two?'"

Lidle's Crash, Death Defies Comprehension: …. No it doesn’t, monkeys are screwing up all the time. Or shorting out from all the stress’s, and finding interesting ways to commit suicide. The seemingly rich and happy are often the most troubled and out of balance, they take each other out all the time.

Stuff… Boy, do I have ‘stuff’. When I sold out my parts house in Utah in the early ninety’s I kept a lot of stock. I moved it to Montana, and then here. I have enough grease, lubricants, cleaners, fan belts, fuses, hose clamps and all kinds of stuff like that to last me the rest of my life. Even some Chevey disk brake pads, like I will ever need them.

HANOI (Reuters) - A death-row inmate held in solitary confinement in Vietnam for almost a year is pregnant and is seeking a pardon to give birth, a newspaper reported on Thursday. ….. He, he, he.. A guard had a little fun didn’t he? Death for dealing in drugs, boy, they are tough over there, I wonder if it helps.

Because I’ve done all my own remodeling here, much of the work is ‘custom’, often I have used materials removed from remodel jobs I’ve done other places and brought the good reusable materials home. I have lots of good stuff I can use when I do the next room. It makes for building a place pretty cheap. My door is smaller than the original 36” one because the original building sagged to the west a little over the years. Then they added on to both ends so it can’t be corrected now except by squaring things up as I go along. I built a square frame for the new door, and installed a window in it while I was at it. I just got around to making a new doorsill and installing it. There is no weather stripping around the door, I made this place so tight that it needs a little air exchange. My highest light bill, includes heating, last winter was only sixty-eight dollars so that isn’t bad.

The detailed deliberate planning to finish the job in Iraq was not considered as Secretary Rumsfeld forbade military planners from developing plans for securing a post-war Iraq. At one point, he threatened to fire the next person who talked about the need for a post-war plan. Our country and incredible military were not set up for success. -US Major General John Batiste

A priest, a minister and a rabbi were all sitting at a table finishing dinner and discussing theology. Suddenly an angel appeared before them. "I have been sent to grant each of you one wish," he said.
"Who will go first?" The catholic priest stood up. "I wish for the destruction of all Protestants!" Then the Protestant minister bolted up. "I wish for the destruction of all Catholics!" The rabbi kept seated, so the angel asked, "How about you? What do you wish for, Rabbi?" The rabbi answered, "Well, if you're going
to grant their wishes, I'll just settle for another cup of coffee."

ABC News has obtained exclusive data that shows the murder and robbery surge that spiked last year has continued in 2006, and in many communities across the country, crime has gotten worse:… The jail here is over flowing. Someone has just been trying to hide the truth to make things look rosey is all. I wonder who?

I just got a new tax assessment, they raised the value ten thousand dollars. I don’t get it, this place is a dump, it’s just paid for is all, so my only shelter expense is the property tax. When I’m done with this place, like when I die, they will bulldoze everything down, haul it away in trucks and build something else, or make it a parking lot. It’s zoned commercial and is just two short blocks off the highway so as the area grows it will become valuable. Don’t know who I should will it to, maybe some deserving poor person. Or maybe I will just die before then and the state can deal with it. Like I’m going to care when I’m gone. One option is to sell it with the stipulation that I can live here for as long as I want to, or can. I may have to go to a care center someday, pinch the girls working there on their cute behinds. Old men can get away with that.

These cats have food out for them twenty-four hours a day. I really don’t think it is necessary for them to come in here and gouge themselves, and then upchuck on my carpet. And they sure look at me funny when I’m undressing, it’s like, “Wow, he can take his fur off.”

Changeseeker has an interesting post “Is Sociology Part Of The Problem?” It depends on how you read the title, but I think sociology is all of the problem. So many people are just looking at things wrong. The collage educated people are really looking at everything wrong. Following is one of the comments I left on her blog.

Really Hon…. It’s the unknowns that will become the future social scientists and anthropologists that figure out and start fixing the problems of mankind. While the folks with college diploma’s spin their wheels in the muck of their college education’s and perceived self importance. There is getting to be a loose band of them on the web working on it all. The bottom line though will be the problems caused by religions, so called democracy, capitalism, and things like that. And nothing will change overnight. I keep telling folks that are worried about the future that if they are only here for a speck in time that there is no point in them worrying about any of it. But they do worry don’t they? I contend that it is because your soul is omnipresent, always here, that it really is YOUR future that you are worried about.

The only thing better than Barbara Streisand being on stage or in a movie, would to be in my bed. :-) I think that woman is hot, and spiritual. But I’m not going to wander off and pester her about it, I have things to do here. I’ve never even sent her any fan mail.

Have a good day everyone, love and peace. Hug someone, say hi to a stranger. BBC
