Why Would Anyone Install..

...Windows that can't be cleaned without rebuilding your fucking house?

Standard Windows (XP and prior) sucks...Windows Vista is a larger piece of shit. You can argue with me all you want, but I'm right. I dare you to prove me wrong. The fucking Windows dog won't hunt...period.

Checkbox fucking stupid ass operating system that I wouldn''t let my grandmother run. Good thing she has moved on.

I will say this...if you must run Windows, run it on a Linux box or a Mac...at least you won't have to kill the power to get back on the trail.

Did I make my point? I fucking hate Windows....and I don't like to clean 'em either.

Bottom line, and the reality is...we're stuck with it. Windows will always be a bad client, and will never be useful for anything considered to be mission critical. Might as well use some legacy IBM EBCDIC base 16 shit.

Big Iron Mainframe shit that went out with the Ford Falcon.

Fuck Microsoft, and fuck IBM too.

Can you tell one of my Windows boxes pissed me off? Did you see the photo of the last box that pissed me off? I'm gonna stake another one...soon.

Beating To Weather

Or downwind with no chute...

Or on a tight reach...not broad by the way...

I'm telling you...sailing will set you free. Kinda like my old driver use to tell me..."put that fucking beer down...the BBQ ain't started yet...we've got boats to pass"

He is crazier than I am, but just as serious.

I do loves me some sailing!

Y'all pick a color.

Big Sister

One of my best friends is a twin. His sister is about two minutes older than him, and she is just too cool...and smart...and cute. Anyway, I've never known a boy dog who knows so much about girl dogs in my life. Do you think sharing the womb has anything to do with it? He knows how women think...he understands them... I swear to the Maker, they can read each others minds. She also knows how boy dogs think...that's why she is so cool.

When they're together...you can almost feel the connection...Damn strange.

I'm just sayin"

It will be what it will be.

Speaking Of Guns...Death From Above

You do not want to hose your garden with one of these

Can you imagine someone chasing your ass with this thing?

It is an old model, but it is still some major Bad Bad Juju.

Polizeipistole Kriminalmodell

or...Police Pistol Detective Model

Walther_PPK_1848.jpg

I had a Walther PPK for many years...it was sweet. I still can't believe I got rid of it. You could conceal the thing anywhere. German engineered like my dog.

They say Adolf Hitler used one of these to kill himself...which was a good thing.

Anyway, all I can say is it is just a plain damn sweet gun...and I tend to lean toward revolvers.

James Bond carried one, so what could be wrong with that.

I cannot believe I let mine go.

UFS

The last time I checked, Yabu is not fucking crazy. I swear to the Maker I saw a UFO or Unidentified Flying Something last night. I got my woman out of bed to have a look-see. She saw it...yes she did. We watched for a while. Very interesting. It was doing the binary on-off thing...blinking...flashing...whatever. Now you see me, now you don't. Strange. In the night sky, I could see it to the right...it would blink off and reappear way to the left...and then back to the right...repeatably. It did this probably 100 times, and then it just zipped away...fast.

Anyway, I bought a lottery ticket this morning. 173 million. Could be a sign.

It Could Have Been Worse

My Uncle got his ass blown out of the sky by one of these.

ME-109.jpg


He was flying one of these.

He told me his adversary was seasoned...more experienced and a a better pilot in a dogfight. He also stressed that although his plane was supposed to be superior...it wasn't...or he didn't know how to take advantage of his new machine. He said the German was on him like white on rice...or something like that...couldn't shake him. He also told me that after he bailed out, the German pilot (who just shot his ass down) flew by and waved at him. He could've killed him if he wanted...but he didn't. Is that honor or respect?

Although, after he floated down, he spent some time in a German Prison Camp, but he lived to tell his story. He said he was treated fine...with honor. He told me pilots have their own code.

I guess that was then.
