Hello Campers,
There's lots going on these days so I figured that it is high time to catch up on things.
Let's start with the Shit Show Circus going on South of the 49th. I hope have a boat load of popcorn because that three ring circus is going to last for the next four years. And if you think there is any rhyme or reason to the eighteen different directions the Tangerine Tyrant is yanking the Hugh-ess and, by international connections, the rest of the world. Historical alliances that are many decades long have been thrown out the window in the pursuit of some crazy destination that smacks of a totalitarian Fascist State. As the international treaties come apart the internal Hugh-ess governmental apparatus is being stripped of all rational common dog which again, is pointing to some kind of psychotic plan to eliminate all the checks and balances. There is a concerted effort by this Orange Shit-gibbon and his handlers to ignore, remove and dispose of all of those who made their country; the law makers, the civil rights activists and the service members who sacrificed their lives to push forward a betterment of society regardless of the flaws. And the Hugh-ess will be porer for it. Nuff said.

Been busy. We had homemade hashbrowns for breakfast. I had some left over sliced potatoes that I didn't cube so I seasoned them and made chips with them on the oven. Yesterday, I made snowball cookies and today I made peanut butter date cookies with some coconut and rice crispies. I dreamed up the recipe so I hope they turn out. For supper, we're thinking of having a quiche.
Our Jr. Couch Monkey has had his surgery to repair his torn ACL. It was on his right knee. From what he told us all went well. Recovery could take six months or more. He is still looking forward to everything in his future. When he has finished his trades training there will be more places to be posted to. The Mandarins in the Nation's Capital have re-read the tea leaves and there will be three new Staging Bases in the far north with one in each of the Northern Territories. Additionally, there will be a new facility built at the Edmon-chuck international Airport for the new CC-330 Husky aircraft. This new aircraft can carry pax, cargo and air-to-air refuel fighter aircraft. The RCAF purchased eight of these planes and there is no room for all of them at CFB Butthole in Ontari-ari-ari-oh so it makes sense to have some of them near where they would be needed. Garrisons Waynetown and Edmon-chuck are close as is CFB Cool Pool. As previously mentioned, here at CFB LOMPOC the Talking Heads are ponying up close to a billion shekels for a number of structures and associated infrastructure. That vast majority will require escorts for the contractors and personally, I don't think we have enough bodies to cover all of the locations at once.
Unless you have been living in cave for the past month you would know that the Orange Shit-gibbon had threatened and then imposed tarrifs on goods from The Great White North. Canuckistans reaction was to enact counter-tarrifs and have some goods from the Hugh-ess be completely pulled from the shelves. Is this significant? Well, the state of Kentucky sells 9 billion of bourbon annually to The Great White North. Some provinces have pulled all Hugh-ess booze off the shelves and a couple have yanked only the goods manufacturered in the Red States, those who are of the Republican Faith. Either way, this and the fact that Canucks far and wide are really paying attention to who is producing the goods they are purchasing. Across the country anything from the Hugh-ess is being left on the shelf. Produce is beginning to rot and meats are staying in tbe cooler. In North Carolina one of the largest pork slaughter houses is shutting down, laying off 600 workers, as no meat is heading over the border. With all of this the Tangerine Tyrant called up Justy and proposed to reduce the tariffs by 50% if he would drop ours altogether. Justy was polite in his rebuttal but in essence he told Donny all about Sex and Travel.
There is a growing number of articles being written that the RCAF should abandon the F35 project. Personally, I agree whole heartedly and not just because the aircraft is a big POS. It has come to light that the non-Hugh-ess aircraft, that is to say aircraft purchased by us, the Aussies, Brits and everyone else is short some eight million lines of code of mission data. This code needed to conduct operational missions and without it the aircraft is only 60% functional and the extra code must be up loaded from either a station in the Hugh-ess or one in the Land Down-Under. This gives the You-Alls the ability of limiting the F35 from being used against them. Hey Assholes, do you trust your Allies or not? That's okay, the Swedes are offering us the Viggen which may not be a Gen5 aircraft but it's cheaper than tne F35 (by a long shot), they're allowing us to build it in Canuckistan and they will give us the licence, meaning we can modify it without having to pay more monies.
Have you watched Yellowstone?
I had seen some ads for it but hey, it's horses and cowboy stuff and I've never been one for that as it's usually some mushy lame ass relationship heavy crap, like Heartland. But then Gordo mentioned it to me. I took a look and holy crap is it good. Great story lines, real ranching stuff (none of the mushy lame ass stuff), there's the law and then there's justice and gun play. Four seasons and I'm on season 4. Gordo told me there are two prequels. I'll have to look for them. There is a new movie called Conclave that I need to watch too.
Awhile ago we were in River City at the Cornucopia where I spotted a book called Under the Bridge: the True Story of the Death of Reen Virk. Reena was a young girl in Capital City was bullied and murdered in The Gorge. The book covers all of the players concerned, the investigation and the numerous trials. In reading the book I often wondered if the author had direct access to police and court transcripts. It is that good and that scary.
Well Kidlettes, I will close this out. The days are getting longer and we are now on Daylight Saving Time. The Left Coast is ready to enact legislation to remain on DST but only if the three Pacific Coastal states do the same. I heard that Ontari-ari-ari-oh will do the same if the states to the South of them follow suit. I say just do it and eventually everyone will follow suit.
