Up early, check in on a recent thread, and run into some interesting nature tales. Possum skulls, opossums, catfood eating opossums, coyotes, cats, cat eating coyotes, squirrels, hummingbird ambushes, hummingbirds, grackles, grackle harrassing chipmunks, grackle eating frogs and chipmunks, made up the balance of the show (from the beginning at 4:47 to around 6:12).But the star of the show was

I have been meaning to post this for a few days, but then I have been meaning to to a number of undone things this week. Anyhoo, by now you may well be aware that the College Republican had a national convention over the last weekend (I believe). The fun started when the General started Operation Yellow Elephant another phalanx in the attack, to expose the cowardice of the ruling elite, and the

The History channel just had a program on the Yellowstone National park. I only managed to wake up in time to catch the last ten minutes or so, which dealt primarily with snow mobile issues. Images of crowds stinking up the place with their two-stroke offal, and nervous buffulo trying to dodge, run away from, herds of nylon and down coveredsnow mobilers was a sickening one.

The People Magazine Cover screams "All about my Baby" and promises an interview with the mother to be, about her prescious, pre-born cargo. My first thought was "Is it not a little early to have this interview? After all, something could still go terribly wrong, and her child might not see the light of day, suffering a tragedy that befalls many expectant parents, misscarriage.I then saw the arc

This is one of by buddy Kent's cats. His name is Mr President. He is a rather attractive beast in his velvety grey finery, and as you can see in the shot below, a very nervous boy. I have the pleasure of watching his beasts while he takes in the Indianapolis 500.And in the next shot, he is not so much perturbed, as he is keeping track of the movements of another cat behind and to the side.

Well, relocation of mounting holes went well, and the vise lines up nicely. The above picture shows the four jaw chuck mounted end mill, piece of aluminum scrap mounted in the new milling attachment assembly. The chuck is running about 800 rpm, as I use light feed to mill the slot, which can be seen more clearly in the following shot.Now that the concept has been proven, I still lack Y axis

This blogging can get in the way of getting stuff done sometimes. But alas, I think that sharing and documenting this process may be of assistance to someone, somewhere........Anyhoo, I spent a reasonable portion of yesterday bolting parts of an angle vice from a drill press to to a piece of angle iron secured at a dlocal scrap yard in the interest of doing some milling on the lathe without a

I resisted the curiosity to look at the picture for a while, but then caved. I follow a link to the BBC story, and catch this little demonstration of astonishing ineptitude. 'Destroy the myth' The Sun cited US military sources saying they handed over the pictures showing Saddam as "an ageing and humble old man" in the hope of dealing a blow to the resistance in Iraq.

Below, I am using the drill chuck mounted in the talistock to bore an exhaust port. As the bore needed to continue through the entire length, the part needed to be removed from the 4 jaw chuck remounted and boring continued from the other end. I kind of thought of it as a smaller version of the chunnel, and it took a bit longer than I anticipated.Below is the finished part.

While not obvious in the photo, the lathe is running at about 200 rpm. Notice that the hand on the dial indicator is barely a blur. This is because the brass rod in the four jaw chuck has been centered to about .0007 or within 7 ten thousanths of an inch, or as the old timers would put it 7 tenths. This is actually pretty damn good for a lathe of this quality and probably represents the limits of

On how many freaking levels this is wrong, I am not going to bother to calculate, but I will take a moment to remind everyone of the conventional 9-11 story, and that is that a bunch of Saudi terrorists with no proven connection to Saddam Hussein were responsible for the attacks on the US that day.

Both of these shots were taken 5 minutes ago. It's springtime in South Central Indiana. Right after rolling the dice and taking the bike out to get some milk.

Last week it was disclosed that Armstrong Williams, a PR flack, and regular on the Dog and Pony circuit of televised news and commentary, had accepted nearly a quarter million dollars, to pimp administration education policy during his television appearences and in his newspaper columns. Money that was raised by taxation, in other words, as dear leader is fond of stating, "It's your money". A

James Foreman, a pivotal and inspiring member of the Civil Rights movement passed yesterday, of colon cancer. He was 76. A remarkable man, who must have watched with disdain the erosion of the rights he spent a life fighting for. At least Martin had the oportunity to see the "Promised Land" before his life was cut short by an assassin. Friend may you rest in peace.

Since everything else we have tried has failed miserably in Iraq, lets take a trip in the wayback machine and pull a dirty little play out of the Reagan era foreign policy playbook. And it gets better, our present ambassador to Iraq John Negroponte, was instumental in the formation and the support of the Salvadoran Death Squads. So it looks like the only way to save our Iraqi bacon is to engage

The S.O. occasionally likes to pick up People magazine, I hate the damn rag, but usually end up reading it at some point. Actually I would not call it reading so much as flipping through the pages to see if they could possibly stuff anymore pictures of Lindsay Lohan into the damn thing. Today however, I discovered within the news of the passing of the First Black woman to be elected to congress.

My friends, many strange winds are blowing these days, and somewhere during the end of the year outrage dump, and in the aftermath of the catastrophic earthquake and tsunami, a circuit breaker was tripped, and my brain decided to take a leave of absense. I am not sure that she (my brain) has clocked in for full time work, but something I saw on tv as soon as I woke, triggered the blogging

The funny thing about these pictures are that Jack and Tain generally regard each other with much suspicion, It would appear that Jack lives in the bliss of ignorance, while Tain seems to have just become aware of Jacks existance. From another angle.

I can imagine that if you are stinking filthy rich, that the sight of those least fortunate among us might be the cause of uncomfortable pangs of guilt. You might want to do something about this "problem".

This is the beginning of Jacks Adventure, the staging area as it were. The problem is that Jack did not know that a 12-14 inch tall cat will dissappear in 17 inches of snow. As you can see, this is the landing zone, and the beginning of the terrifying adventure, and at first he tries to move the the long way around, bails from that mission, and tries the short way, and as I just happen to be

Jack again, doing one of the things he does best, lounging. I give the rat bastard a list of chores every day and what does he do? Actually most of them, though he always omits one or two from his list. First the picture, then the list of chores. Jack's list of chores 1. Wake up. 2. Lounge for a bit. 3. Stretch extra good. 4.

I was visiting a couple friends yesterday who happen to have a subscription the that paragon of newsweeklies Newsweek. It was the one with the painting of the Virgin and Child on the cover and somesuch about the origin of Christmas. Anyway I started flipping through the thing and came upon the letters section.

The following is from the December 13th issue of Newsweek letters section. Apparently there was an article written by Jonathan Alter titled "Shabby Fiesta of Hypocracy" at some point in a previous issue. Apparently Clinton, Bill was put under a pleasing light, and this was too much to take from one reader apparently. Providing a positive spin to Bill Clinton regarding raunchy TV as Jonathan

The US Army has admitted to two more deaths of prisoners held in custody in Afghanistan, bringing the total number to eight. One has to wonder if a full accounting of prisoner deaths will ever see the light of day.

In the latest episode of that great new hit show "The Backdoor Draft", a 70 year old oral surgeon, who retired from the service for the second time in 1980, has been called back to service in Afghanistan. It's too bad that he didn't answer the phone, as he may have found a billet in Hawaii, but alas he thought the calls were a mistake. If this was the first story it would be astonishing, but by

After spending the better part of the day searching for crystal radio ideas, and playing around with a newly constructed breadboard experimental platform, I though I might want to check in to the world and see I there was anything I might be missing.

While Betty who had clocked in for a shift of her own, has seen a possible opportunity for lovin'. And has started off to see if a petting hand is available.

So this weekend I was regularly checking in over at the Eschaton, and on Sunday Atrios had an interesting theme, concerning how the press had responded during different stages of the war in Iraq, finishing the mini series with a late 2002 poll. During this last thread, there was lively discussion, a couple of drive by trolls, and then a Juan Cole hater dropped by to educate us about our lack of

If I had only known there was such an award, I might have been a little less strident in my criticisms of the war and the administration. Oh well.

The monday before last, a partially naked white woman jumped into the arms of a football uniform wearing black man. There was much weeping and wailing and knashing of teeth. Some may have pulled out their hair in the fashion of grieving greeks. The cacophony of outrage rang far and wide. As usual and in public it was "what about the children", this being yet another example of moral decay, behind

Bean has six digits on each of her forepaws and one on each paw is an opposable thumb. This may explain her success as a varmint killing machine. Unfortunatly she did not beat on Jack and Ptolemy when they were little, so they like to chase her. She is a little spitfire, and Kitainy Yevshenki (below) can't get enough of her, she is his unrequited love.

Last night on a thread at the eschaton, Dave posted this link to one of his cats. So I was compelled to try to convince Ptolemy to examine the bag. He decided against it as he was to busy looking for lovin' and eating. Now sylvia on the other hand was more than happy to comply, and a nice little fort it is.

Ken Starr, in an odd demonstration of conscience, suggests that maybe he should have let someone else go after the Lewinsky affair, saying that he should have payed more attention to the piles of bodies stacked around the whitewater scandel or somesuch.

I have not yet taken the earphones off of the Crystal radio, and now the "Big Pharma" is going off on the 9/11 report. He just made the statement that no such investigation on the scale of the 9/11 commision happened during the WWII. The committee is also worthless because it was composed by unelected officials. Now he is citing a report that he will find at the break wherein some foreigner, who

A new AP poll may be the piss in the cornflakes, or the rain on the Fundy parade, as its results show that a significant majority of Americans do not want to turn the clock on Roe v Wade, though I doubt this news will breach their thick skulls, after all it is only the word of the secular against all that anti abortion stuff in the Bible.
