I'm still considering writing in Cyndi Lauper as my candidate for President. After all, she's gathered as many delegates as Harris has. I've looked at the Libertarian candidates, since, politically, that's the way I lean. From the Libertarian website:
Libertarians strongly oppose any government interference in your personal, family, and business decisions. Essentially, we believe all Americans should be free to live their lives and pursue their interests as they see fit as long as they do no harm to another.
I stopped for gas at this crazy looking castle yesterday. It was a long time being built, and during construction I wasn't sure what it was going to be, but I never figured it as a gas station. Anyway, the electronic sign out front said $3.15 per gallon for credit, $3.05 cash. The truck was down to a little under a quarter of a tank, so why not save a couple of bucks by paying cash. I went in and paid for $50.00 worth and during the conversation with the cashier, she said the savings was actually 20 cents per gallon. Sure enough, $2.95 per gallon, filled up the truck and got $2.12 back from my $50.00. I drive by there on my way to work now that I'm working again, so it'll be my regular spot from now on.
When I got done running around yesterday, I decided to tackle moving the welder. I had moved the spare Slant-Six out of the way on Friday, so I didn't figure it would take much to move the welder. However, that was not the case. If the crane had at least another foot of length on the boom, it might have been easy, but I couldn't get it up high enough before it was binding up against the legs of the crane. So Egyptian style it had to be.
I don't know what the welder weighs, but it's a bunch. While it rolls fairly well on the pipe rollers, it would be better if I had one more piece of pipe and if the two short ones were a few inches longer, but it's working. I moved it enough that I could roll the new welder and plasma cutter into the hole. I moved the argon bottle and now I need to rig up a chain to hold it safely in place - a couple of screw eyes will take care of that. I'm going to move it to the back half of the shop today so I can get the front part useable. It'd be nice if it was a little cooler, though. It was bumping up against 90 degrees yesterday. But progress is being made.

that gas station front has no widows. is the ceiling inside real tall with sky lights? do you think they can catapult stuff from the roof at us? is the building made out of large heavy chiseled stone? does the cashiers/clerk have to wear themed costumes? it looks like an Amy fort that ships from England would fire cannon balls at.
No themed costumes and I think roof mounted catapults would be impractical. However, archers with long bows and crossbows would be every bit as good as Korean rooftop snipers. Maybe a big vat of boiling oil, too.
