By on May 3rd, 2016 in personal, science kits

10:24 – I walked up to Bonnie’s house yesterday while Barbara was out at a Friends of the Library meeting. Bonnie bought her scooter used, and didn’t get the manual for it. It’s a Pride Mobility Victory model, and I figured it’d be easy enough to grab the manual PDF from their website and print it for Bonnie. Turns out, they make/made a whole bunch of different models all named Victory, and there was nothing obvious on the outside of her scooter to indicate which specific Victory model it was. So I looked at the images of the control panel in all of the PDFs until I found one that looked like hers.

When I dropped off the manual, Bonnie gave me some chicken plants for Barbara. She planted those yesterday, so I’m expecting a good crop of eggs once they start growing. When I mentioned that to Barbara, she just rolled her eyes. When I mentioned that if we wanted eggs we might need to plant some eggplants, she almost threw her book at me.

More science kit stuff today. We’ll spend the day labeling bottles.

    Nuevo Aztlan, encompassing large chunks of the Murkan Southwest. Demographics.

    As the guy at WRS sez:

    Unable to tell a high school photo prank from real crime. And we pay these people?

    Major felony. Years of hard prison time. Large fines. Electronic ankle bracelet upon parole. Vilified for generations.

    But our banksters and financial speculators skate, as do our war criminals, and swarms of criminaliens and crimmigrants.

    And it’s like we all know and Eddie Snowden apparently recently discovered; the top dawgs like Cankles and General Petraeus walk away from essentially treasonous acts that would have put any enlisted scum like me away for decades at Leavenworth.

    That skool district should have just quietly re-edited the photo and re-issued yearbooks and let it go at that. But common sense has taken a powder in this country and nowhere to be found anymore.

    Sex offender registry for life. May have to get gender reassignment to get over the stigma. ObuttwadCare will pay for it. Then back out into society to vote Dumbocrat.

    Was there a serial number? That sometimes helps.

  6. Robert Bruce Thompson says:

    Re: serial#

    I called Pride Mobility and talked to tech support about identifying Bonnie’s specific model. The woman told me I’d basically need to disassemble the back end and remove the batteries, at which point I’d be able to see the serial number but not the model number. She said to call her with the serial number and she could tell me which model of Victory it was. I decided it was easier to look at the manual PDFs and see if the control panel in one of them looked like Bonnie’s control panel.

    Well, the Stupid Half of the Party is for all intents and purposes, personae non gratae, kaput. Simple demographics set up half a century ago by the Evil Half of the Party, and the Stupid Half went along with it. Who cares? They vote Dumbocrat, too. The show’s over; now most everyone knows there was no friggin’ diff between the two halves. I used to get arguments till the cows came home that there was; total bullshit.

    Welcome to El Norte Brazil, with nukes and innernet. And with some areas more like the failed state to our immediate south and others like the Congo and Uganda and still others like Yemen and Pakistan.

    BTW, I would like to outlaw beer bottles here in The Great State of Texas. Normally, I am for the market determining these things but I picked up my tenth or so beer bottle off the sidewalk Sunday night. For some reason the dadgum teenagers around here drink their beer and then toss it out the window, aiming for the sidewalk to get that perfect glass explosion. Where, I walk five times a week with my wife and dog. Me and the wife, we can walk through the hundred pieces of sharp glass but the dog cannot at all. We either have to carry her through, walk way around, or pick up the pieces. Luckily, the doggie poo bags make great glass bags also.

    I wouldn’t bet on Cruz getting nominated for anything by a President Trump.

    Wow, Trump just called Cruz a hard worker and great organizer in his Indiana victory speech. He was actually very sincere about Ted.

    Trump needs Cruz. They both want to burn down the stupid half of the war party (R) and there is no else in their corner. Except for Jeff Sessions, Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, and Chris Christie.

    “He called Cruz “one hell of a competitor,” calling his decision to drop out of the race “brave.””

    “He said that while he wasn’t sure if Cruz likes him, he praised his former rival as a “smart” and “tough guy” who had an “amazing future” ahead of him.”

    And Bernie won Indiana. I wonder if Hillary is feeling the Bern?

    If Bernie wins California, I wonder if the supers will reconsider their votes?

    “… toss it out the window, aiming for the sidewalk to get that perfect glass explosion. Where, I walk five times a week with my wife and dog.”

    I’d find a way to put a stop to that, by hook or by crook. Shotgun blasts through their windows might do it. Or simply heaving Molotov cocktails at them as they go by.

    Good riddance to Cruz; I wouldn’t give him the crust off my underwear, let alone a SCOTUS appointment. A President Trump could do a LOT better for that, and also find a way to nudge the most likely three next retirees off faster and replace them with justices to the right of Scalia and Thomas. Yeah, I’m dreaming again.

    So now what will the Stupid Half hierarchy do? Screw Trump at the convention and pull in Mittens or Jebster anyway? A Trump-Cankles election would be too close; they want her, not him. Or will a “lone gunman” take him out before then? Not like it hasn’t been done before….

    Coming soon to a political rally near you.

    Very tame, though; Murkans will flip the cars and burn them.

    For Mr OFD, re DNA….
    My older brother is into the genealogy thing and has his DNA done. I am sure it was through ancestry.com. Cost wise around $100+ AU ($70US ?) and took about 6 – 8 weeks.
    He has just recently did the same for our 97 yo mother.. Which should be interesting.. 🙂
    Cool cloudy day around 21C (70F) in the land of sand…

    through ancestry.com

    Who is in alliance with the Mormons, who have probably one of the largest and most complete genealogy databases in the world. I have been to their world HQ while visiting a cousin (who is hard core Mormon) and their center on genealogy is quite impressive.

    Personally I don’t give a rat’s turd about my ancestors.

    “Personally I don’t give a rat’s turd about my ancestors.”

    I am curious about my DNA history. Half polish peasant (Could be ANYTHING!) and half English, supposedly in the states with the Mayflower.

    “BTW, I would like to outlaw beer bottles here in The Great State of Texas. ”

    Bottle deposits cut down the number of cans and bottles on the streets in Massachusetts. Even if the bottles get left, kids come by and turn them in for coke and candy money, That won’t help with the broken ones, but it sure did cut down on the trash.

  16. SteveF says:

    Personally I don’t give a rat’s turd about my ancestors.

    Ditto. I’m me, and I’m very nearly the stereotype of the classical American. (Less so the stereotype of the modern American, but that’s nothing that a hundred million progtard deaths wouldn’t fix.)

    but it sure did cut down on the trash

    Clayton is probably referring to glass, metal, and plastic trash, not human trash. Pity, that.

    I read about their data centre back in the late Eighties. Built inside a mountain, well above the water table, not near any Targets. Full of Cybers running NOS/VE and IM/DM database. Very impressive.

  18. OFD says:

    I’m with Mr. Clayton; I’ve been curious and have done some genealogical research accordingly into my own family history and ancestors, and have found that a whole bunch of their stuff, cultural, mostly, and some of it unwanted, has come on down through the centuries to our family (and me) today. Not to mention whatever medical histories or behavioral tendencies, like maybe madness on my mom’s side and ability to see the dead. Short fuse temper like my dad’s and readiness to use violence, and a long history of military service. So there ya go: a lunatic who sees dead people and maybe he killed some of them himself.
