Hot and humid. Chance of rain later, I hope. I’ve got too much to do to deal with rain. It was two gorgeous days at the BOL, and now home for a day. Sure would be nice to get a cool breeze, but not if it’s because the storm front is blowing in…
Did some stuff yesterday at the BOL. Mowed the park. That’s me finding a place in the community, and it doesn’t take long. Before that I did a little bit of mower maintenance. Then I did the typical ‘leaving the BOL’ stuff. The drive home was full of jerks going too fast. I kept thinking it was some sort of holiday weekend, but nope, just jerks.
Today I’ve got to pickup the last two of the lappy carts I’ve been harvesting, and the 86″ tv. I really hope it’s not raining.
Then I have to pack for a trip I don’t really want to take, but I’m going anyway and I won’t drag everyone else down. I’m not sure how good my connectivity will be so I’ll line up some placeholder posts later today that should drop automatically even if I don’t have service.
And I’ll count that as prepping.
Stack something, even if it’s just knowledge.

Have a great Monday, Nick.
Monday! June!
Good morning (well, lunchtime…).
Good luck for your trip, Nick.
Arrived back at base from the BOL last night, to find there had been a power outage. The alarm monitoring centre had called me on Saturday morning with an error-status report, but no intrusion detection.
Historically, that has always been the sign of a power problem, and it was the case this time too. It looks like the thunderstorms tripped the protection circuits on our distribution cabinet, taking out all the electricity and putting the alarm onto battery backup power.
The fridge was room temperature warm-ish, so we binned the contents of the freezer compartment and anything perishable, but both freezers were unopened and still cold, so they should be fine.
I will apply a critical sniff test to anything we defrost, but do not anticipate problems. I really ought to get a couple of battery-backup recording thermal probes for the freezers, though. Anybody have recommendations of ones you used and like?
Poor Nick! It sounds like you found all the Sunday night boy racers that I usually get, but fortunately didn’t have last night.
W1’s car is due for its annual roadworthiness check this week. I better bring it to the local Bangladeshi car-wash guys for a clean, inside and out. They do good work.
Too much white in the production office and on screen?
Starting with Ed Asner.
David Wolper had just done “Willie Wonka” and went on to make “The Thorn Birds”, arguably the biggest ABC miniseries of all time.
The 2016 remake which was quickly forgotten?
Plus, recently, some embarrassing facts emerged about LeVar Burton’s white Confederate ancestor when Burton did a reality show tracing … roots!
Quickly looking at cast and production office, I could give you a dozen more reasons, but they would all be guesses.
Knox county schools banned the book. Then un-banned the book. Then a big bruh-ha-ha from parents about inappropriate material. Then complaints from others about “cultural significance”. Mostly glossed over by the news. The division was largely along color lines. I personally think it is the parents responsibility to choose what their child reads. Not some clowns (school board) with an agenda, who never read the book. There is a statue of Alex Haley in Knoxville.
If the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago ever gets a chance to set up all of their exhibits again, they have one which goes into a history of “Roots” and the problems of the production.
The one time we went to the museum, our focus was seeing the “Saturday Night Live” exhibits and the anniversary display for “Svengoolie”.
The MBC used to be across from the AMA building in Chicago so I think our assumption at the time was that a lot of the exhibits would be sanitized, and we were on a tight schedule that day.
“Saturday Night Live” was a traveling exhibit and was not subject to the MBC editorial control.
“Svengoolie” is “Svengoolie”, and the museum simply had his old set and coffin on display behind a glass partition.
Maybe Leslie Uggams working for Ryan Reynolds on “Deadpool”?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-LiGs-X3Gw
BTW, as bad as it is, “Agatha All Along” offers the last glimpse of the “Lethal Weapon” and “Christmas Vacation” houses before Warner tore them down.
Gas was down 30 cents to $6 yesterday at the local market, odd.
I paid $3.69 for gas at a CircleK/Valero a bit out of town. They are never the high price and usually somewhere near the cheapest. That’s about what I paid at Costco last week.
———
Up and moving. Coffee is almost ready. Breakfast sandwich too.
———-
I wonder if they’ll blame a downturn in the ‘summer driving season’ on gas prices or if they’ll acknowledge that everyone is out of money?
n
I’m sure some Blue State will try to bring them back. Except, you have to show four jabs within the last year and keep it updated. Like a Subway Sandwich punch card. Maybe a multi-page passport to cover other “We’re all gonna die!” psuedo-mechano-gene-splicing mRNA virus injectable sheeple control mechanism plagues.
I’ve been up for a few hours. Got approx 2 ½ hrs sleep before I had to get up to make sure The Child was awake in time for things she had to do before noon. Not that I’d have been able to sleep much longer anyway, what with the noise attending a granny whose mind is gone. Going to be a slow day, I suspect. I’m not in my 20s anymore.
I went out a while ago to do another minor repair on the chicken coop but, per usual, one of the hens was laying. Meh, no problem. It’s not like I drove an hour from my computer desk to the coop. More like two minutes, and that included opening and closing four doors. (Plus the refrigerator door to grab some lettuce for my poor, starving chickens who have never been fed in their entire lives, just ask them.)
Chilly and windy today. Chillier and windier at my brother’s and mom’s house, which is higher and farther north. Last week I took the storm windows off and put the air conditioners in* at their request**, and the next day the weather turned unseasonably cold. Asked them yesterday if they regretted the timing. Maybe…
* Old farmhouse, more than a century and a half old. OFD’s house on Lake Champlain had few if any years on the family house. Replacing the tall (!) windows with modern double-glaze would cost as much as the property is worth; barely an exaggeration. My brother replaced the furnace some years ago but, for some reason I forget, the house is not suitable for central AC.
** Brother’s on the decline. Not ready to be measured for a coffin but he’s no longer able to do anything requiring much more exertion than carrying in groceries. I’ll need to be going up to take care of things even more often.
If we were faced by the tyrants imposing lockdowns and the rest, we could cut their throats and be done with them. But of course the tyrants don’t go out among the public, at least not without a phalanx of bodyguards. They force business owners to enforce the illegal orders under threat of ruinous fines.
The ancient definition of tyrant focuses on the illegitimate seizure of power. There’s the connotation that the tyrant is often so unpopular that he cannot go out without bodyguards. Plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose.
Coffee is almost ready. Breakfast sandwich too.
A perfect opportunity to roll your own!
An arduino or even a Raspberry pi , a couple of k-type thermocouples, a little solder, and few lines of code, and you’re done. You could even put it on the interwebz to query remotely.
I’m sure you’ve got plenty of time to do that…
Now, to get serious for a moment.
After my mom died, her rural house in central Illinois was empty. We were concerned that there might be a power outage, and the plumbing would freeze, which would be bad. We know how bad, because it happened once years before, and was expensive to repair.
This was 2002, and while the internet existed, it was early days.
I searched (probably AltaVista) and found a device that was surprisingly simple. It was a little box with a bimetal switch on it, and an RJ style phone wire. It was non-adjustable, and set to about 35 Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit degrees.
Plug it into your landline phone jack. If the room temperature is above 35 degrees, nothing happens.
But if the temperature falls below 35 degrees, the switch toggles, and simulates taking the phone off the hook. The line becomes busy.
Any time it was cold out, I could phone my mom’s house, and since no one was supposed to be there, the phone would ring. All is ok.
But if the furnace wasn’t running due to power outage or propane running out, the line would be busy.
It added peace of mind to know I could check. As it happens, we never had a problem, and I eventually threw away the box when I had the landline removed years later.
The Dumbocrats are out in force to celebrate Gay Month, then Juneteenth, then I can’t remember who’s next, crimmigrants maybe?
I use a variety of cheap sensors, some wired some not.
Most are normal indoor/outdoor digital thermometers, with the ‘outdoor’ probe in the freezer. I check the one on the kitchen freezer at the BOL when I get there, looking at the “high temp”. (It’s a 2 door upright fridge, so not the best at staying cold.)
At home I have wireless in the garage fridge and freezer with the receiver on the stove hood. I see them every day.
n
Name brand, but cheap.
n
Gah, I decided to go ahead and allow the switch from samsung messaging for sms to google. WTF? Ugly. And it wants my google account for sms? I don’t want people using that email. Very confusing which accounts are needed and why.
I’ll just let that run in the background for a bit. It’s “possible” that it can take some time to bring over all the old message threads. I have no idea how to even know.
And now I have to update the fusking united app. Every time I use it it needs “updating”. Better now than at the airport.
Anyone know if the glucose sensor is a good enough reason to skip the naked scanner at TSA? It is a medical device… and anyone know if the app will keep trying to phone home to Dr office if I’m out of the country? I don’t want to accidentally trigger a data usage charge.
n
Good enough for TSA to justify not using the scanner, without a mandatory ‘opt out’ search…
Also need a shower and haircut. I was putting it off til later, maybe I still should. It’s not like showers are limited to one a day.
n
Re freezer monitoring device…
Fill a small cup with water, stick it in the freezer so it will freeze. Then put a coin on top and put it back in the freezer.
If the power is out long enough for the ice to melt, the coin will fall towards the bottom of the cup. If the power goes back on. the water will freeze again. But the coin will not be on top of the ice, it will be at the bottom (or towards the bottom) of the cup of now-frozen water.
If the coin stays on top of the frozen ice, all is good. Anything else indicates a power failure and freezer temp above freezing too long, so the food in the freezer needs to be tossed. Process works especially well for a freezer in a remote location.
UA app, still a piece of shite.
After the update, greets me by name, shows a home screen, has my miles. Doesn’t have my flight. Add the flight manually, just gets an error “your session has expired, log in again.”
Turns out you are NOT actually logged in to your account, the app just simulates it? Kill the app, restart, find a log in text link on what looks like my logged in home account page… and that did the trick after putting in my account details, again. NOW I’m logged in.
So, confusing design – check
Need to constantly “update” to use the app – check
Confusing and unhelpful error messages – check
It’s the trifecta.
n
Fill a small cup with water,
– that will confirm there was an issue but won’t do any thing to help you avoid the issue or alert you that you have an issue. Good redundancy as the logging thermometer won’t usually tell you how long the temp was low… if it’s at 35F for one hour, not critical, but for 6 hours, probably.
n
”Gay Days” at the Orlando theme parks would have been this past weekend, but I dont keep up.
This would have coincided with an Amish event, Orlando Invades Daytona, but I know the Volusia authorities have been cracking down on participants for a few years.
Definitely put it off. It is not nearly Christmas yet…
Thanks for the coin and container of ice tip. I knew that once, but forgot it.
Jill Biden’s Memoir Is Going to Tear the Democrats Apart
https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2026/06/01/jill-bidens-book-is-already-tearing-the-democrat-party-apart-n4953448
Tear them apart, set fire to the pieces and piss on the ashes would be a good start.
The Democrat Party, every lying administration official, and every member of the press that screwed over the American people for years deserves the worst. Slowly, painfully, ending in death with disease and pestilence along the way for themselves and every one of their families. No quarter, not even a cent.
“10th Local Prosecutor Joins With Sheriff, Declares Blue State’s Semiauto Ban Unconstitutional”
https://thelibertydaily.com/10th-local-prosecutor-joins-sheriff-declares-blue-states/
“(The Daily Caller)—Yet another Virginia prosecutor announced Friday he would not enforce a ban on modern semiautomatic firearms, bringing the total to ten since the enactment of a law supported by anti-Second Amendment agitators.”
“Democratic Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed SB 749 into law on May 14, which would prohibit the sale and transfer of so-called “assault weapons,” as of July 1. The legislation drew immediate litigation from pro-Second Amendment organizations, including the National Rifle Association (NRA), Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC), which were seeking to have the law declared unconstitutional.”
““[N]ew laws from Richmond primarily relating to (1) the purchase, sale, transfer, possession or transportation of firearms, ammunition or magazines that have been traditionally legal prior to July 1, 2026; and (2) expanded public-carry restrictions threaten the integrity of federal and state principles equally recognized as fundamentally important to the citizens of Clarke County,” County Sheriff Travis M. Sumption and Commonwealth Attorney Matthew E Bass said in the statement on Facebook Friday by the Clarke County Sheriff’s Office.”
Interesting.
The Governor of Virginia needs to go to jail for violating the 2nd Amendment.
After she and the AG are temived from office.
and removed, too.

“Democrats continue to sit for Americans and stand for violent illegal immigrants at Delaney Hall”
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/beltway-confidential/4589060/democrats-sit-for-americans-stand-for-violent-illegal-immigrants-delaney-hall/
“Democrats are lying about illegal immigration again. This time, they are doing it at Delaney Hall, an illegal immigration detention facility in Newark, New Jersey. It originally opened in 2000, when Bill Clinton was president. Between 2011 and 2017, during which Barack Obama was president for most of the duration, Delaney held illegal immigrant detainees. It is a facility that, until the last two weeks, most Americans have never heard of. That is, until liberals, Democrats, socialists, and communists made it a rallying cry to promote radical illegal immigration ideology.”
“Multiple Democratic politicians have visited to check on the well-being of the violent criminal illegal immigrants at the detention center — the kind of courtesy that these Democrats never extended to the families of Laken Riley, Rachel Morin, Jocelyn Nungaray, or Sheridan Gorman, innocent women brutally murdered by the kind of violent, criminal illegal immigrants at Delaney Hall.”

In general, it is against the law to profit from a criminal act. I would be very interested in seeing a federal prosecutor put a hold on any payments to Jill Biden and possibly on the publisher’s and booksellers’ accounts as relates to sale of the book.
Birds were out for an hour or so, wandering around as I took care of some things. One got separated from the flock, probably because she was focusing on scratching in one area of the mulch and didn’t notice the others wandering off. After a while she noticed that she was alone and wandered around a bit, then saw me and came up. Didn’t awwwwk at me but I knew what she wanted. I knew where the others were (in the forest, scratching in the leaves; I’d been checking on them every few minutes partly to make sure they were all there but mostly to inform predators that a bigger predator was around) so I said “Come on, good girl” and walked a few steps in the right direction. She turned this over in her peanut-sized chicken brain and started following me. When she got close enough to see or hear the others, she headed right for them at better than her usual waddling pace. Didn’t thank me, either. Chickens are jerks.
About half of my birds will do this from time to time. Of course, by helping them find their friends, what I’m really accomplishing is showing them that Treatbringer fixes all problems.
Damn stupid websites. Needed to log in to a portal to pay one of my wife’s medical bills.
Needed to create an account, username, and password.
All kinds of stupid requirements, which I met, but not good enough, for reasons not stated. So I tried a couple more times. Ah, special characters required but a very limited set. Fine, I registered.
Now I am at the login page. Cannot login because the credentials are invalid.
OK, send me a password reset link. Got it. Clicked on the link, page opens, “TOKEN EXPIRED”, cannot reset the password.
Closed the browser and tried again. That worked.
Attempted to reset the password to what I had before which the system said was invalid.
Nope, cannot change the password to an existing password.
Tried to login again. Nope. Just a message “CANNOT LOG YOU IN”. Well, at least tell me why. There was a message to contact support.
Called the number on the screen. Just an automated system that was zero help as it was just for billing.
Do these clods that develop software ever actually use the crap they produce?

United would charge for the air you breathe if they could. But they ate my beloved Continental, and I’m in Houston.
I’ve got almost half a million lifetime miles on United and a club membership tied to a credit card. I don’t think there is any better flying out of Houston, no stop to either coast, ORD, MCO, TPA, even Toronto and Alberta.
At least I get free bags.

Cabin air gets turned over less frequently than it has in the past. They are literally charging you to breathe, but the price is buried in the fuel portion of your ticket.
No truth to the reports that they were wearing turtle shells….
Cabin air gets turned over less frequently than it has in the past. They are literally charging you to breathe, but the price is buried in the fuel portion of your ticket.
The cabin air comes off the 6th ??? stage of the jet engine turbine compressors. The Boeing 757 actually has a knob where the pilot could adjust the amount of fresh air to the cabin. My mother-in-law and three ??? other people had heart attacks in 1991 ??? when the pilot headed to South Carolina from Dallas turned the fresh air down to zero, or as close to zero that he could get it. All four of them came off the plane in stretchers.
The UH-60 cockpit has awesome “bleed air” from the turbines. Nice and toasty. The back where the Infantry scum ride (Hi, Mr. SteveF) get nothing. The transmission up to the rotors is open so those in the back can get fresh rain and snow, too.

I had a mystery phone call this morning. They left voicemail. After ten seconds of on-hold music I deleted the message.
Then I had two saved messages. Weird. Both about 8:30pm. One from few days ago. One from mid April.
How do they do that? Drop a message and the phone doesn’t tell I have a message?
I didn’t listen, just deleted.
If your provider blocks a call that it senses as ‘spam’, you won’t hear the ring. But it may go through to your voicemail as a message. The voicemail message indication may also be blocked, but may still exist in your ‘unheard’ voicemail list.
The phone system needs to be redesigned by people who are sick and effing tired of phone spammers using spoofed numbers.
First change is 100% ID of calling number. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to block the number you are calling from, but the system has to know, first for law enforcement use, and second for #2 below.
Second is charging for calls from unknown numbers. Friends and family, companies you do business with, health care providers and a few others get free calls. The rest pay. Numbers that place huge amounts of outgoing calls pay bigtime for using system resources.
Third is jail time for abusing calling privileges. Fake AI messages? Length of call x number of calls x 10 to start. Your machine cranks out 1000 40-second messages a day? That‘s 667 minutes, more than 110 hours incarceration for each day for each person involved. Roughly 4.5 days per day in business.
Fourth. Illegal to use, possess, or provide facilities to support unlicensed calling machines, spoof call-from numbers, etc. As I’ve said before, it it 100% certain that the cell networks know where these calls are coming from and who is placing them. All penalties recoverable from the telecoms.
ATT tells US govt that calls ate coming from Shanghai or Mumbai, they get cut ot of the network And it’s explained to the proper government that they either take care of it or get limited to POTS service only.
Huh. Well, I’m on Verizon so no telling.
Surely not!
I suppose it’s conceivable that some of my work made its way to a public-facing website but there would have been several hands between me and the final product. However, most of what I do is various analyses and reports. Most of the code that I write is things like edge cases to show problems in compilers, Python for machine learning, and other stuff that doesn’t make it to the public.
We got a short sprinkle of rain, about 1 minute. You’d hardly have noticed but I was in the attic getting luggage down.
Since it stopped, I thought “I’ll mow the back yard.” 2 hours of messing with string trimmer carbs, priming bulbs and fuel lines (two machines and a series of failures) I’m ordering new carbs. F this noise. It’ll be a jungle when we get back. So be it.
I’m soaked to the skin with sweat. Frustrated. Smell like fuel and got carb cleaner all over me. Not in my eyes, because of the glasses, but in my face. Joy.
Now to do laundry, shower, haircut, nails, beard, pack, and set up all my automatic web stuff. I should have just called it quits when the machine didn’t start.
n
Someone once pointed out that if the government forced people to install a bell in their bedroom that anyone in the world could ring at any time of day or night, no one would do it. Yet that is exactly what we have with the phone system.
And the “anyone, anywhere” crowd has figured it out.
n
On my slab and then flip phone, I had an Edinburg number. So the old folks could call and it’s not long distance.
They never called, they didn’t want to use up my minutes.
I tried.
When I got the Sammy galaxy s2 I got a new number. Local. 512-588 is local to HEBs phone system. Well, was 12 years ago.
New York’s Government Won’t Hand Over Documents About the CDL Holder Who Killed Five in Massive Bus Crash

Class-action suit against the State of New York and all involved, both in official and private capacity alleging willful criminal negligence resulting in mass death from this incident alone.
Yes, a long haul. If any of the victims live out of NYS, they should ask their own state government for assistance in filing whatever charges they can come up with.
Duffy needs to ask Trump for an EO suspending CDL’s issued from New York , California, and any other state demonstrating such reckless negligence until those state open their records and allow a total compliance audit.
Damn stupid websites….
A similar thing happened for me with Manning Publications. They do have a contact page, I haven’t bothered trying it yet.
Sewer, Storm drain, Steam lines, electrical/general utility access?
I’m glad to see the city inspectors were wearing breathing masks, there is gas stuff in sewer systems that will kill you dead, dead, dead.
Dinner tonight was some tri-tip warmed up in a small cast-iron skillet and corn on the cob.
There was also going to be some Pillsbury crescent rolls, obtained from a neighbor who was going to toss them because they were labeled Best Buy: Feb 2025.
I tried opening them, but these turned out to have been definitely bad. They smelled ‘off’ and had dark spots on them when I opened the container, so they got binned.
My neighbors had never heard the Siege of Vienna story about croissants.
Ok, looked at my calendar more closely and I’ll have time to do my ‘set and forget’ placeholder posts later this week. I’ll be at sibling’s place so there will be good internet.
That’s one less task to do tonight.

Henry Nowak: The Bodycam Footage
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2026/06/henry-nowak-the-bodycam-footage.php
Does anyone know? When they caution you in the UK and you don’t respond because you’re dead, does that prejudice your defense? Likewise, when you don’t cooperate in getting the cuffs on because you’re dead, can they charge you for that?
Pith them all and hang them on the fence for the crows.
Henry Nowak: The Bodycam Footage
Police officers arrived on scene. Henry Nowak, dying from stab wounds, could not respond coherently to their questions, although he did say that he couldn’t breathe. His chest cavity was filling up with blood, as the autopsy later showed. Disregarding his condition, the officers handcuffed the victim and read him his rights. As though being a “racist”–which Nowak was not–were a crime! The murderer pointed to a seemingly non-existent bruise and lied, saying Nowak had attacked him.
Following Nowak’s death, and upon further investigation, Digwa was prosecuted for murder. The jury found him guilty last Thursday, and earlier today the judge sentenced him to life (21 years) in prison. The case has been a sensation in Britain, as it encapsulates the insanity of race-obsessed, anti-white and anti-British policing. Some think it will bring down the Labour government.
Following a public outcry and demands to release police body cam footage, this video came out today. You can see Henry Nowak dying as the officers handcuff him, read him his rights, and sympathize with his murderer–the alleged victim of “racism.”

This is the USA in 20 years if we do not stop this right now.
Whites will be minority in the USA before 2050.
The wife and I just walked around three miles in the 85 F, 84% humidity as the sun was going down. I have given up and am celebrating the usage of Deep Woods Off for the mosquitoes. They still bounce off me but they do not linger. Man, it was hot.
Repeat: “From 85% White to Minority in Our Own Country by 2050”
https://www.independentsentinel.com/from-85-white-to-minority-in-our-own-country-by-2050/
“In 1965, about 85% of Americans were white. Today, that share is closer to 59%, according to census data. Latino and Asian American populations have driven much of the nation’s growth, reshaping political maps in Texas, Georgia, and Arizona.”
“Non-whites are set to become the majority for the first time in the US by 2050, a situation mirrored in up to 16 states—including New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut—according to new census data.”
“Between the falling birth rates, chain migration, anchor babies, and the planned demographic changes by our social engineers, non-whites will be the majority by 2050 or sooner if Democrats get back into office. They would open the borders again. There is no reason to think otherwise.”
My county, Fort Bend County, is planning on two million people living here by 2050. We are at 950,000 people now and majority non-white. This county was 200,000 people when my parents moved here in 1977.

got all my grooming done. I smell like a pine bonfire… beard and shave stuff has a scent…
I’m trying some harder mustache wax. The one recommended here is described as ‘soft hold’ so I went with one described as more of a hard or firm hold. In 100F+ temps, it ends up pretty soft. This was my first day testing it though.
I’ll bring it and the ‘thickening paste” I’ve been using. And I trimmed a bit that was dropping in front of my mouth. I was going to give the wax more of a try before cutting any but I’m pretty tired of it on my lips. Also took about half an inch off my chin hairs. Same look, just a bit shorter and cleaner.
Probably no one cares but me. Family included. They usually don’t notice.

Went thru my carryon bag. Found some razor blades. No idea how long those have been in there. Won’t be taking my lock box. The second half of my trip won’t allow it and I can’t put it somewhere else.
