And so it should be, a nation of riflemen....

Fed Up? Vote Anyway!
There's an interesting article in today's Long Beach Press Telegram with the title I so shamelessly borrowed. They gave my favorite for our 37th District Representative, Star Parker, some good press that she deserves.
Read the article, it's short, but interesting.
I haven't looked for their stand on Barbara "Call Me Senator" Boxer, but I'm voting for Carly Fiorina. Boxer has been in office way too long, and has lost touch with the people of California.

"Sam I Am" Goes To Washington

I do not like this Uncle Sam!
I do not like his health care scam!
I do not like these dirty crooks, or how they lie and cook the books.
I do not like when Congress steals!
I do not like their secret deals!
I do not like this speaker Nan!
I do not like this 'YES, WE CAN'!
I do not like this spending spree!
I'm smart, I know that nothing's free.
I do not like your smug replies, when I complain about your lies.
I do not like this kind of hope!
I do not like it, nope, nope, nope!

"The Center Cannot Hold"
I've been seeing this quote from Yates quite a bit lately, and I think it pretty much sums up what's happening to this current "administration" in the White House.
I'll bet even that name, "White House", galls HRH Obama to no end.
Anywhoo, this is a link to a rather good read over at American Digest, provided by our friends over at the Western Rifle Shooters Association.
Go read it; it's great stuff!

Jack Webb Talks to Obama
From a friend of mine.
If you google "jack webb and obama" you'll find a TON of these, all different, but all true!

Crazy Weather
Last week at this time it was 113* here with 50% humidity, and the dogs were just klunked-out all day.
Today it's 64* and raining. The dogs have been chasing each other all over the house, obviously enjoying the cool weather.

In One Month.....
We can start to take our country back. That is, as long as you've REGISTERED, and actually get your rear out to the polls and VOTE!
Please read all the information you get sent in the mail, and try to research what your local issues and measures mean, and the background on your local candidates. In my case, I've been supporting Star Parker in her bid to unseat Laura Richardson in California's 37th Congressional District, and reading the thick "Voter Guide" sent out in the mail.
Remember, your local elections can have an immediate impact on your neighborhood, and in my opinion, that's just as important as getting things turned around on the Federal level.
So read up, and REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER!

Trailer Tower Finished

Well, almost.
I still have to finish wiring the lights up, and then take the tower off so I can tow it down to the DMV and get it registered.
I've added a separate ground wire to each of the light units (tail/stop/license plate and running lights), and I'll connect that to the ground wire coming out of the plug to hopefully eliminate the most common problem I've seen with trailer lights, namely BAD GROUNDS! I've towed a lot of trailers ranging in size from little ones like this, up to double-axle car carriers back in my SCCA days, and 95% of the lighting troubles I've seen and experienced were caused by bad grounds. Using the trailer frame for a ground return saves the manufacturer some money, but it comes back later to bite the owner in the rear, usually at the worst possible time, like 2AM in the rain.
After my stepson helps me pull the tower off, I might even paint the cheapie plywood I used for the deck, or at least give it a good soaking with the 5 gallon bucket of Thompson's WaterSeal we found when we cleaned out the garage.
One of the pictures shows it with the cables all coiled up, along with some of the cribbing I use to level it, the next picture shows it tracking one of the Ham Radio Satellites I operate, and the third picture shows my FT-847 and other support equipment during the satellite pass. My FT-847 is the radio I normally use to operate the satellite station on Field Day. It's NOT the radio I used for the VHF Contest a few weeks ago. I used my Kenwood TS-790 as it has a better receiver for what's called "weak signal" work, and although it can be used for satellite operations, I haven't used it for that due to my lack of a suitable radio-to-pc interface. I recently picked one up, though, so I suppose trying to get the TS-790 working with the rest of my tracking/tuning software will be a project to do Real Soon Now.
