I don't forward or post a lot of e-mail I get, but as I was looking through and deleting 139 e-mails I had, this one sent to me by my uncle seemed to be worth posting here-

What the "H" is wrong?

Remember, not only did you contribute to Social Security but your employer did too. It totaled 15% of your income before taxes. If you averaged only 30K over your working life, that's close to $220,500. If you calculate the future value of $4,500 per year (yours & your employer's contribution) at a simple 5% (less than what the govt. pays on the money that it borrows), after 49 years of working (me) you'd have $892,919.98. If you took out only 3% per year, you receive $26,787.60 per year and it would last better than 30 years, and that's with no interest paid on that final amount on deposit! If you bought an annuity and it paid 4% per year, you'd have a lifetime income of $2,976.40 per month. The folks in Washington have pulled off a bigger Ponzi scheme than Bernie Madhoff ever had.

I didn't try to clean up the language in this message. It makes a better impact as it is.

Entitlement my ass , I paid cash for my social security insurance!!!! Just because they borrowed the money , doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout !! Congressional benefits , aka. free healthcare , outrageous retirement packages , 67 paid holidays , three weeks paid vacation , unlimited paid sick days , now that's welfare , and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements !!!!!!

what the HELL's wrong??? WAKE UP AMERICA !!!!

Tuesday's Daily Bulletin paper, ran two articles on the front page side by side :

1- Calif 's 20 Billion Dollar Budget Deficit

2- The Calif Supreme Court ruling that ILLEGALS can attend college and get benefits.

Why don't they just deport them when they arrive to register?

3- Last year they ran an article on the yearly costs to Calif Taxpayers from Illegals using Hospital Emergency Rooms for their general health care -

At just one hospital the cost to tax payers totaled over 25 million a year

Someone please tell me what the HELL's wrong with all the people that run this country!!!!!!

We're "broke" & can't help our own Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc.,???????????

In the last months we have provided aid to Haiti , Chile , and Turkey . And now Pakistan ......home of bin Laden. Literally, BILLIONS of DOLLARS!!!

Our retired seniors living on a 'fixed income' receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government and religious organizations pour Hundreds of Billions of $$$$$$'s and Tons of Food to Foreign Countries!

They call Social Security and Medicare an entitlement even though most of us have been paying for it all our working lives and now when its time for us to collect, the government is running out of money. Why did the government borrow from it in the first place?

We have hundreds of adoptable children who are shoved aside to make room for the adoption of foreign orphans.

AMERICA: a country where we have homeless without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without 'needed' meds, and mentally ill without treatment -etc. etc.

YET.....................

They have a 'Benefit' for the people of Haiti on 12 TV stations, ships and planes lining up with food, water, tents clothes, bedding, doctors and medical supplies.

Imagine if the *GOVERNMENT* gave 'US' the same support they give to other countries.

8-10 inches? gonna look like heavygunners shed in no time

well...maybe I can go another inch or so...and use more quikrete.

Rob, ya got to give Tom credit for diggin holes.........his own. He is bored being home with little to do an the heat is draining his energy. He will be fine when he gets the phone call to go back on the road again, taking photos and seeing the countryside.

I've already got instructions for my next mission! I gotta unload these coils in Lynchburg in the morning, then load for Warren, Ohio.

All day job getting loaded at this place, then gotta tarp it.

You weren't around, or disturbing their nest. They are docile when not disturbed and nothing to fear. Change the scenario and it is quite a different story.

Yeah, no shit- i've run over nests with the lawn mower before and gotten stung, and gasoline and a match were in their future soon as they went to bed!

No photographic proof of you digging post holes means the action never happened.

well then...if it does happen i'll take a picture. But how can I operate a set of manually operated post hole diggers and take a picture at the same time? Would just a picture of the hole be OK?

Rob

I dug a few holes today. 4 actually, but never mind what they were for- if I said I was going to slap up some kind of shed over my grill i'd just open myself up for more ridicule .

But I dug 4 postholes because I had nothing else to do, and the ground was so dry it was like powder 8-10 inches deep. No moisture at all. Guess i'll just get some quikrete and put it around the posts, because you can't tamp powder and the holes are only 8-10 inches deep. Couldn't go deeper because of tree roots, rocks, and besides all that, it was too much like work.

I'd dig a little, then have a cold drink and rest. Had a cooler sitting on the picnic table with beer and ice in it, and a bottle of Clamato juice. Clamato juice is delicious by itself, but drink 2 swallows of a beer, then pour Clamato juice in it, that's just awesome- great drink!

So I noticed some yellow jackets and even a butterfly came over to have a drink.

I told them "fine, just don't sting me". They said "no way, absolutely not sir, we'd just like a drink- it's awful hot out here, dry too".

So I poured them some beer and Clamato juice on a block of wood- even put an ice cube on it for them. The butterfly didn't drink so I just poured it some Clamato juice on another block of wood- actually the knot that fell out of the shelf on the grill.

You might be thinking "what a bunch of bull$#!+!", but I actually took pictures to prove what I say- except for that hole digging part.

Working outside in the rain on a 95+ degree day feels good...sure beats working outside in the rain on a 50 degree day.

Rowdy,..Rowdy- you and this heat thing- just admit it, you hate it too...don't you?

Chicago was a swelterbox this past week and then was drowned today.

Rob

We need rain here bad! As usual, my garden started out looking great- then no rain and close to 100 degrees every day for weeks has just about killed everything. I'm getting plenty of tomatoes but that's all.

Think i'll go outside and dig a hole. I cleaned the truck out a little today. Wanted to wipe it down on the inside with pine-sol, but we didn't have any so I mixed white vinegar and water-cleans OK but now it smells like a pickle factory... which is better than smelling like funk I guess.

I couldn't tell you if the AC here at the house works or not...ain't even turned it on in 4 years. My Mack doesn't even HAVE A/C....I pulled it out to save on weight.

It was probably lighter than your Thermoking unit.

Glad I dont ever complain bout the heat, you wont hear me whining bout the heat, no sir, what heat? Mind control, I took up Yoga,,,nekkid,,,randyp

You're probably remembering this.

.

I want one too!..wonder if they sell those at Tractor Supply?

Just imagine-

me-"git me a beer!"

Jo-"excuse me?!!"

me-"are you deaf- I said git me a #@$% beer, and I mean right now!"

Jo-"#^@& you, git yer fat lazy ass up off tha' couch and git yer own #@$% beer!"

me-"OK,watch this shit- gimme that remote!"

Jo-"#^@& you, git yer fat lazy ass up off the couch and git it yerself!!"

D'oh!!!

Anybody is an understatement. Everybody wants you to Investigate it and report back to Hqs on the double. Try not get ambushed with the farmers daughter.

Col. Sanders

Commanding Officer

10-4, Roger that, sir! I'll do my best with the farmer's daughter.

Well anybody that can afford 2 watches and shop at walmart, run round buying whole hogs and sides of beef, and afford to keep a peterbilt in the road, definitely got a bank box loaded with "cat hair". We so economically depressed and down round here, I have to threaten Spot with a shotgun to steal a chewed up ole bovine leg from him. I catch toads in the garage and skewer them with a stick to put on my grill, aint got no butter, have to use 15W-40, (drain just enough outta killer to cook with). randyp

guess ya got me there- here's me slicing meat while wearing my Rolex.

Go take a nap and finish the dream!

i'd better not- almost just got the old "fryin' pan upside the head" treatment just for making the picture! some people just got no sense of humor.

...about my grill. Too bad when I looked out the window this morning it had not come true.

Lots of good stuff on these DVD's, including this W-71 and Dr. Bill's W-71. I have most of the ATHS sries.

Tom must not be staying home enough to know his neighbors very well.

mike

This is actually very true Mike. I can seek this unit out and investigate it further if anybody wants me to.

Yall don't know your animals. That there is a bee and it sits outside the the plant that makes eatin honey and bees wax candles there in medina. O'dog was within 20 miles of me,,never knew it,,he musta showered. I will now look for a petercar with rusty or missing hub covers in the area.

Good, I might have to borrow your "git out of jail free" card sometime, there's a weigh station about a mile before you get to Carter Lumber.

They were closed Monday morning.

Single lights will work if they have 2 wires. If the have 1 wire and are grounded with the mount (screw) its a maybe.

Some have a dioade bridge inside and will work either way...cheep ones no...

Most duel lights ( combo tail and turn/brake) will not... You can get 1/2 to work but not both... Its realy a crap shoot.. buy 1 and test..............

The three marker lights I put on worked fine, just hooked them up backwards for positive ground. You are correct on the brake lights/turn signals though. I could get one or the other to work, but not both. I ended up getting 2 more lights just for brake lights and wired them to a spring loaded toggle switch that I mounted on the gear shift.

Our sunday shool teacher told us for years about this time and now its here. The end times. Its now Gods will that this happens but God knew what fags and some of our political parties would do in the end and now it is here.I will not point my finger at the party thats killing us cause you guys are smating enough to know whats happening and the next few days is going to tell more how long we are here.Or at lest under a Democratic goverment.This president is trying hard as he can to ruin this nation. If that pisses any one off call me. Call me any thing you want as long as it saves this nation i will not care.This is not a domes day story but i beleive to be true.

I believe it to be true too.

Fortunately, it appeared to be very friendly!

And I saw an older KW in Va. this evening, almost swallowed up by the bushes.

im sorry but this really pisses me off you cant even say god in school or if they catch you praying your in big trouble unless your on a rug and have a towl on your head. I tell ya boys theres a book wrote about the shit thats going on and there aint to many pages left

Amen brother! (bulldogman)

They should be OK as long as you follow the polarity on the lights.

yeah, I put LED taillights on the mixer, just had to hook 'em up backwards, they work fine.
