Welcome to the bare bones day after Christmas daily. No promises on quality, not even the laughs.
Matthew 10:17-22
17Beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and flog you in their synagogues, 18and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them and the Gentiles. 19When they deliver you up, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour; 20for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; 22and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.
WEEKEND STARTER
Just put some Schnapps in hot cocoa and call it a day.
Alright back to bed.
Is it safe?
Only if the battery cured the Honda’s problem.
Seems to have. I ran an errand this afternoon and it started well both here and there.
There were numerous advantages changing it here instead of there. Two worth mentioning. Number one was that the old battery had no handle, so I used gloves to reach down in its hole to lift it out (roughly 50 pounds). Number two was that the hold-down hookies need to go in slots on the sides down in the battery hole, and I used a flashlight to see where they were (despite it being daylight).
Mind you, this is a 1994 automobile, and the symptoms were the same as the last three times I changed the battery. Of some note is that the old battery had a 30-month warranty from December 2020. The new battery has a 36-month warranty from December 2024.
There are numerous new battery options — gel, glass, exotic chemicals….
The problem is that some of them can’t be charged with my battery charger/starter and some may even react violently. So I stuck with the same ecosystem (lead/acid) so I won’t accidentally blow myself up some day.
Cost about $140 + California “core charge” of $12 or so + tax. Prolly have to do it again around 2028.
Always the optimist here. Bonus. No core charge in NC.
Perhaps a load test in 2027, to see if the battery is failing.
Eh….it’s pretty easy to detect a failed battery.
Past tense noted. Won’t start, battery / generator / alternator to sort out. (Guessing you have an alternator.)
Slow Guy thinking prevention may be an option.
Had thought the load test, detected failing / failed cells. Ideally before outright battery failure to perform.
Perhaps I’m mistaken.
Stranded in the driveway an inconvenience. Stranded “over there” royal PIA.
The time I push-started it at the Getty, I did a battery change in LA despite living up here. It’s a pain, and you don’t always get the best deal on the battery and the logistics frequently suck…..but it could be worse.
The thing about load test, detecting failing/failed cells, etc. is that it is a service. To have a service done in California is going to cost a bunch, and you will likely get someone less competent than you should be able to expect — and you’ll have to wait in line.
If it’s free (like at a place that sells batteries), it’s even worse. They will almost always recommend a new battery and may sabotage your old one.
These things may have been trustworthy in the 70s in California, and may be trustworthy elsewhere, but in 2020’s California I wouldn’t bother.
That there is a testament to, you do have greener pastures in your future.
—-
As I think about it.
Since my first car in 72. I have had great luck with car parts stores. Selling what I need and sound advice when I asked for it.
As with everything, YMMV.
Lead-acid batteries gradually go bad because the surface of the lead plates gradually becomes plated with impurities.
I have heard some discussion that wildly rapid over-charging can electrochemically disrupt this crud off the plates. Even those who speculate about this procedure insist that it be done in a large uninhabited area suitable for acidic explosions.
Closing words, enough for Slow Guy to not, fast charge, over charge.
Thankfully have not had to charge a battery for several decades. Well, short of driving around for ~20 minutes.
Not to worry if using a “fast auto battery charger” for a battery type it’s designed for. That’s something like a 14 volt charge (for a 12V battery) at 2A.
The insane peeps talking about “cleaning the plates” are talking about something like 50V at 10A for some minutes while venting, then changing-out the acid. It’s supposed to work, but for some reason you don’t hear about people doing it regularly…..
More than once have used a headlight, working on a project during the day. That and a flashlight with a magnet in the base, swivel head…
TMI. Ended up with a used riding lawn mower battery when we moved into this place. Local Sam’s said bring it by and put it with their used battery area. Free. Had guessed there would be a fee or take it some place that charges.
I should keep a light in the car. I already have jumper cables there, and a collection of screwdrivers.
Incidentally, batteries have a box-size number that seems to follow no rhyme or reason (like women’s clothing sizes) [ https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/r/advice/car-maintenance/battery-size-chart ]. The one I just bought was a 24F. A 24 has its terminals swapped, and is a slightly different size overall !!!
Rumor has it that I could also use a type 35, and maybe even other sizes, but 24F is what it was and 24F is what it is until I change it again.
Just a thought.
Jump box. Simple, affordable (IMO) and take up less space than cables…
Bonus. Don’t need a good citizen ,willing to have his vehicle provide the juice.
Have one. It’s old (the first generation to include USB). I probably need to change the battery inside, but I haven’t really used it that much.
My neighbor’s got a modern one about the size of a laptop battery. Ain’t technology wunnerful?
Also little use in my case. None on my vehicles. Yet.
Main reason I keep a jump box and a small compressor, is my long AND frequent drives across the Interstates.
But then again, long drives I also have a small pillow, blanket, water… I’m weird about stuff like this.
It’s always better to have resources when TSHTF. I’ve driven from here to Vancouver, BC, and back (in summer) — but your trips from the Reno area to the Houston area are substantially more challenging.
Your not weird.
In Winter, in upstate NY, I carried winter clothing, down sleeping bag, food, water, my Sigg tourister camp stove kit, Two 50# bags of sand.
Turned out I need the 2 bags of sand to get a semi stuck across the parking lot unstuck. Otherwise the entire factory would have been stranded at work during a blizzard.
People think I’m weird for having a screwdriver collection in the well for my spare wheel. And, yet, when I was 400 miles from home and my gas hatch decided to get sticky, I twiddled it with a screwdriver at a gas station…..so I could get home and debug it with WD-40.
WD 40 is a big NO NO!
It makes things stick worse in the long run. It was never meant to be a lubricant.
That is from an old caving buddy. He was a mechanical eng. who was sent to troubleshoot his company’s machines. He said the first thing he did was TOSS all the WD 40 in the maintenance shop.
The conversation happened because the throttle linkage on my VW pick-up would stick. I would spray it with WD 40 and it would stick again a few weeks later. He recommended a silicone spray. I used it and the problem never re-occurred.
So I stock, liquid wrench and a silicone spray lube. No WD 40 on the farm.😋
In addition, you should have a graphite lube for locks and such.
The “WD” in “WD-40” is “Water Displacement”. It is useful in purging things like cable runs that have gotten wet.
Like the one that was causing my gas filling hatch latch to stick. I dealt with it several years ago and haven’t had a problem since.
There is a meme going around that if something moves that shouldn’t, it needs duct tape; if something doesn’t move that should, it needs WD-40. In real life, those are both poor choices.
Duct tape isn’t even really that good on ducts — and leaves crappy residue all over everything else. WD-40, as you note, can gum up things where it is used to lubricate.
Hay string and baling wire…
My hubby likes PB Blaster but I don’t know if that’s silicon or not. We still have WD-40 for some uses…
That’s nuts.
WD-40 is a fine product and should be used for its proper purpose – to free up rusted nuts & bolts.
As Coothie, the mechanical engineers and my Mechanic friends said
It is NOT a very good lubricant.
If you want to unstick stuff Liquid Wrench Penetrating Oil is a MUCH better choice.
https://www.liquidwrench.com/product/penetrating-oil/
I dated another caver who was a Flying Tigers mechanic and he and his buddy had my VW diesel tuned to actually be something besides a slug.
Can also use kitty litter instead of sand. Have a shovel, sometimes boards to put under tires. If a real die-hard a coffee can with a smaller can to hold a candle to melt ice if stranded for extra drinking water. Tow ropes can come in handy as well…oh & tire chains 🙂
I started with the coffee cans and sterno then I got enough money to buy my Sigg.
It is nested pots and wind screen with a little stove.
This is what the comment said from the guy who posted the image:
The “F” was used because way back in the mists of history, all US made cars had one terminal location design but Ford used the same size with the terminals swapped. I don’t think anybody knows why Ford decided to do it their way.
Everything else was a 10mm deep socket and a brush to get the crud off the terminals and cable-ends.
Is it secret?
I’m glad rightful President Trump did not attend the illegal Biden installation.
Bet Judas Pence did.
I’d bet ole Judas volunteered to hold the Bible for Joe. Asshat.

Here are a few of the items listed. There are explanations at the link.
we shouldn’t be funding these nonsense studies, stupid projects in other countries or pushing products Americans don’t want.
As for the cv funds? hubby is an accountant and when the plumbing company he works for filed for cv funding, their bank was involved and they had to submit employee records and tons of other documents. how was that man able to steal $8 Million???
I found this little gem in an American Thinker article.
The Department of Defense spent over $10,000,000 of your dollars to slice open male cats’ spinal cords to implant electrodes that fired electric shocks to give the cats erections before finally severing the spinal cord entirely. It used the same types of electric shocks to get the cats to defecate marbles planted in their rectums. Presumably, the purpose behind these ghastly experiments is to help troops suffering from spinal cord injuries, but this seems excessively weird, cruel, and expensive.

seriously? wth? where are the animal rights groups?
SMH. The death of common sense arrived years ago.
DOGE I am sure will do lots of cost savings / avoidance.
But Federal employees need to have integrity.
Transparency over Federal obligations, contracts is required..
I’m not sure we should be funding any of these studies. what exactly do universities do with THEIR funding and endowments?
what does big pharma do with all their profits? certainly not benefit others doing research.
OR if the gov’t is paying for studies that lead to life saving medications or procedures, shouldn’t they be free to citizens who’ve ALREADY paid for their development thru these studies??
The Federal government corrupts everything it touches — and it should certainly not touch the safety and efficacy of healthcare.
true.
I should have remembered:
if if’s and but’s were candy and nuts, we’d all have a wonderful Christmas.
salaries and fringe benefits
Indoctrination and DEI.
Slush funds.
How dare you suggest that the sheeple shouldn’t be taxed twice? 😂
Probably a fair assessment there’s a percentage returning to all the corrupt politicians. And don’t forget those high paying speeching engagements they make a graduation time. Can you say payoff?
The Founders wanted the Federal government in a straitjacket, confined to certain enumerated (listed) powers. Where’s the list? Article I, Section 8 —
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;
To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian Tribes;
To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;
To coin Money, regulate the Value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standard of Weights and Measures;
To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;
To establish Post Offices and post Roads;
To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court;
To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations;
To declare War, grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and make Rules concerning Captures on Land and Water;
To raise and support Armies, but no Appropriation of Money to that Use shall be for a longer Term than two Years;
To provide and maintain a Navy;
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;—And
To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
************************************
That’s it. That’s the list (there are a couple of others that are mentioned in other places in the Constitution, but they are minor).
There is NOTHING in there about education. There is NOTHING in there about national pensions. There is NOTHING in there about regulating food or drugs. In case it wasn’t clear enough that there is NOTHING in there about arms held by citizens, this is reinforced by the Second Amendment. There is NOTHING in there about the government controlling vast tracts of land in western states. There is NOTHING in there about Federal regulation of mining or land use — those are state issues.
What you see is what you should get.
Yup. Just do what the Constitution says you can do, nothing more or less.
Any attempts to do more or less should be met by law enforcement or military intervention.
This sentence is interesting given the return of Trump and sanity.
Absolutely worth asking the nine wizards about it.
I would think it was put into the Constitution to be used for just such occasions as this.
LOL 😆, well at least eight.
You have definitely achieved patriot-level grumpiness. 😉
I love it. 😃
I think a lot of us have.
If the Feds fund a stupid study, the entire department needs to be liquidated as having overstepped its Constitutional bounds.
Unless it is MILITARY connected, the government should not fund any studies. That is how we got “The Science™” instead of REAL Science.
That’s why “science” and “scientists” reek of corruption instead of being lauded for advancing human understanding.
It seems to have started with WWi and WWII. Hubby often plays a song by a physicist lamenting the US Government grabbing top scientists for military projects.
“Let physicists be physicists again…”
My computer is wonky again or I would go looking for it.
One of his songs.
Cyclotronists nightmareThe Cyclotronist’s Nightmare (1939) is a humorous song written and composed by Arthur Roberts, an American physicist and composer.
FOUND IT!!
Take Away Your Billion Dollars
http://www.aip.org/history/lawrence/images/coldwarsci-44.gif
by Arthur Roberts (1946)
sung by Arthur Roberts and the Chorus of the Iowa State University Department of Physics
Up on the lawns of Washington the physicists assemble
From all the land are men at hand, their wisdom to exchange.
A great man stands to speak, and with applause the rafters tremble.
“My friends,” says he,
“you all can see that physics now must change.
“Now in my lab we had our plans, but these we’ll now expand,
Research right now is useless, we have come to understand.
We now propose constructing at an ancient Army base,
The best electro-nuclear machine in any place.
“Oh – it will cost a billion dollars, ten billion volts ‘twill give,
It will take five thousand scholars seven years to make it live.
All the generals approve it, all the money‘s now at hand,
And to help advance our program, teaching students now we’ve banned.”
“We have chartered transportation, we provide a weekly dance.
Our motto’s integration, there is nothing left to chance.
This machine is just a model for a bigger one of course.
That’s the future road for physics, as I’m sure you’ll all endorse.”
And as the halls with cheers resound and praises fill the air,
one single man remains aloof and silent in his chair.
And when the room is quiet and the crowd has ceased to cheer,
he rises up and thunders forth an answer loud and clear.
“It seems that I’m a failure, just a piddling dilettante.
Within six months a mere 10,000 bucks is all I’ve spent.
With love and string and sealing wax was physics kept alive.
Let not the wealth of Midas hide the gold for which we strive.”It seems that I’m a failure, just a piddling dilettante.
Within six months a mere 10,000 bucks is all I’ve spent.
With love and string and sealing wax was physics kept alive.
Let not the wealth of Midas hide the gold for which we strive.
“Oh – take away your billion dollars, take away your tainted gold.
You can keep your damn ten billion volts; my soul will not be sold.
Take away your army generals, their kiss is death I’m sure.
Everything I build is mine, every volt I make is pure.
Take away your integration and let us learn and let us teach.
For beware this epidemic, for colitis I beseech.
“Oh, dammit – engineering isn’t physics – isn’t that plain?
Take, oh take your billion dollars. Let’s be physicists again.”

Getting really grumpy in your old age. 😂
At some point, animals must be used to determine likely courses of investigation if we expect to ever get paraplegics to walk [unless we want to use humans to experiment upon].
Whether these particular experiments are done as humanely as possible is a different question than whether the experiments need to be done at all.
I’d be curious to know how they determined that tomcats were the proper animal model to learn about human erections.
Well, they weren’t, until the advent of Viagra.
okay I concede that point.
but if we are funding it, then it should become a national benefit to AMERICANS. can it be patented with the resulting patents being a national thing? and any technology that uses that information or patent pays a significant fee that goes into providing Americans free benefits from that technology. for instance–robotic arms. if we funded the studies that provided the technology that resulted in the ability to make better robotic arms, then the company that utilizes the results that created the better arms provides free or significantly cheaper robotic arms to Americans that need them. and the rest of the world can pay the regular fees?
We also need to CLAW BACK all the patents ‘owned’ by Fauci, Baric, Gates… that were developed using US tax payer funds.
I bet we could get rid of a LOT of our taxes if those funds were used to pay down the US debt.
agree–I guess that’s a better wording of my thoughts exactly!
we pay for the funding–the results should be OURS.
johnny maga:
And the hits just keep on coming …
This is WHY MAGA needs to STAY focused on the US government and the Rinos and DemonRats.
Instead of lobbyists being in control of our ‘reps & senators’, WE THE PEOPLE have to make darn sure they now know WE are in control.
That is all it would take and he would not even need to lead it. Just authorize it. Problems solved quickly.
Why fight it?
LMAO!!!
Hi Wolf.
I just went to my article on the mass graves of Fauci’s murdered children, and added a couple of comments that I made under it. They had important information in them, and I just posted the article on X under a couple of comments.
Fauci is coming under the spotlight from this again. Thank God.
THANKQ!
I have posted that article in comments else where several times.
25 days, 9 hours exactly until our Once And Future President, Donald Trump, is restored to his Rightful Office, and our nation can begin to Heal as the Deep State is brought to Heel.
Not that I’m counting, mind you..
Can we start counting when it gets to ten? Like a NASA countdown, only it’s MAGA?
Spiking cocoa sounds pretty awesome!
That crow video was excellent. These little guys and gals are SMART.
Jeran of Jeranism, the flerfer with some integrity…live streaming on Christmas. After his insipid poetry (from 20-50 minutes in), he starts sampling the copium, all the flat earthers who are calling him a “Shill” (or worse) now. at 1:22 or soJeran’s home address was doxxed by Dave’s app, after Jeran begged Dave to fix it multiple times. Now Jeran has to move.
Jeran is still enamored of the flat earth (beats me how), but he’s definitely not happy with flat earthers.
Here’s another one, some sort of livestream. At one hour and 34 minutes Karen B shows up and she will shortly go on a tirade against all those accusing the final experiment of being faked, somehow (especially the dipstick in blue, second row on the left).
As a community they’re honestly not sure whether to dismiss it as fake or somehow try to come to terms with what it shows. Until they settle that, they’re at each other’s throats.
OK, late in the Jeran video he’s asked if he thinks we’re living on a sphere.
He says that what he saw matches perfectly with a sphere. He can’t figure out a flat earth way to explain what he saw; he’s leaving the door open for someone else to figure something out that works. But he says at this point he wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a sphere in fact.
What he is still adamant about is the sphere (or flat earth) not rotating. Whichever one it is, it’s not rotating. He is convinced you wouldn’t be able to fly airplanes, etc. on a rotating sphere. (No understanding of momentum.) So if it’s a sphere…well he goes back to Ptolemaic geocentrism where everything rotates around the stationary spherical earth.
Why don’t these guys just get some education, maybe on things like momentum, and humble themselves to be wrong? I don’t understand how someone presented with actual information can just pretend it isn’t real.
MARXISM!
The Philosophy Of Karl Marx: The Hegelian Basis
If you are taught to REJECT REALITY then there is no way you can be convinced by demonstrations based on REALITY.
To a Marxist ONLY what they believe is true and nothing else matters.
I ran into this when taking a seminar for first time managers. LSU had a Marxist philosopher lecture us on the last day about never being able to know what objective truth was. I sent him scurrying when I challenged him to lay on the R/R tracks. If we can not ‘know’ reality then he could wish the train away. The train was due thru in about 10 minutes. He was laughed out of the room when he refused to take my challenge….
This idiotic philosophy is the basis of a lot of the crap were are seeing today.
Our entire civilization is based on the moral code of Christianity PLUS Experimental Science. BOTH of these foundations have been under attack.
That’s funny! Good for you!

Verse of the Day for Thursday, December 26, 2024
✟
“O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!”
Psalms 8:9 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered !!!
WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.
