Indian Summer in Minnesota

I have finally had some time to visit my brother in Minnesota. We both grew up on the Mississipppi River and now that he has returned from Beijing we can catch up on our missed time. He has a whole bunch of projects that will give me something to do too.

Motorhead Wrenching

Since there were no open flights to Minneapolis I have to take a later flight to see my daughter and grandkids for two days then go to MN. In the meantime the delay gave me a chance to start the engine assembly on my Cherokee. It's nice having everything clean and start getting the Navigator Eater back together.

Today's Hot Post - a followup from yesterday

It turns out the actions shouldn’t have happened for another, very simple, reason: ACORN can’t legally operate in the state of Maryland.According to the following documents, ACORN, Inc.–the parent organization of all things ACORN–forfeited its corporate charter in Maryland in 2006. ACORN Housing forfeited its corporate charter in 2008. Any ACORN office in the state of Maryland is potentially operating illegally.

Now guess what... It's sting time in San Bernardino, CA at the ACORN office! These crooks are nationwide!!

What News Do You Get and Where From???

My usual concerns regarding the dispicable news coverage by the usual suspects (CBS/NBC/ABC/CNN/MSNBC) has recently been heightened by their lack of coverage of the "Crooks in Residence" at ACORN and their support of (pseudo) whore's and pimps looking to buy a house for underage immigrant hookers. Tuesday promises to be a big bombshell day so check Fox News. In the meantime if you haven't heard...


ACORN’s Lawless Waysby Matthew Vadum
ACORN is not only a radical organization devoted to undermining the American system of government: It is a massive, ongoing criminal conspiracy that should be investigated for possible violations of federal racketeering laws.
With a long history of lawbreaking that is finally getting media attention, the poverty pimps of ACORN are currently in retreat across the nation, and an upcoming voter registration fraud trial may reveal embarrassing information that disrupts the operations of the embattled radical activist group. This is in addition to the undercover child prostitution sting videos revealed in recent days on this website.

Summer OUTTA the City

I am spending my second week in Big Bear Lake and I come down the hill 2-3 days a week. Well, I have to get something done once in awhile!

Last week I got all the machined and new parts back for the Jeep motor and have started on the building routine. At least it is cleaner work than taking it apart. I have to be in Long Beach on Wednesday for a meeting so I can enjoy summer from the mountains to the beach.

I'd Rather Be Hot Than Wet

Hurricane/tropical storm Erika is running a bit north but still too close for comfort. I'm glad I'm here even if it is getting all greasy rebuilding the motor.

I'm Enjoying Being The Family Patriarch

I was invited to join in the family festivities for my grandson Kane's 4th birthday. Dinner was at the Spagetti Factory with about 16 people. After we went back to their 'Orchard House' for presents and cake and a settling of our stomaches. An excellent time was had by all including me in my role of 'Family Patriarch'.
