The Great Wind Storm of 2019
It's Sunday morning enjoying our morning coffee. What a weekend.
Friday nights windstorm here in the southern part of the Nicolet Forest was one for the record books. The neighbors think it was small funnel clouds or tornadoes. The weather Service said one touched down in Mosinee and the rest was 90 MPH winds. Who knows? Just a lot of Damage in this part of Wisconsin. Thank God it was only minor property damage and no injuries.
Hopefully power will come back on today, and today is Friday. The crews from Oconto Electric are doing their best with all the wires and transformers laying all over the ground.
Running the great Generac generator through the day and night. Not steady but 4 hour time periods to keep the freezer and fridge going.
Got to go but please keep all the people up here in your prayers and thoughts to get us through.
Couple pics from the area of damage.

Cost Of Freedom To Every American
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte presented President Donald Trump with a historic gift Thursday at the White House.
Rutte presented Trump with an American flag that was on the first U.S. ship to land in Normandy as part of the D-Day invasion that occurred on June 6, 1944 during World War II. The bullet-riddled flag was purchased at an auction three years ago by Dutch collector Bert Kreuk, who later felt compelled to return the flag to the U.S.We are sick and tired of the left hating this country and half the people who live in this great country are supposed racist for living here.We love all Americans even if we disagree with the left but it is getting harder and harder to put up with their insanity and socialism they want.
For God sakes! People died for our freedom.
Love or leave it!

Wis.Gov To Plunder Tansportation Funds Designated For Local Roads
This was found all the way in Kansas. Where are all the Scottholes nuts from the last Gov. election?
It seems Gov. Tony Evers is playing loose with the tax payers money of Wisconsin.
If Scott Walker did this, voters would be screaming RECALL! Will the voters and Wisconsin media hold Evers responsible for useless spending of tax dollars? The money is suppose to go to local road work! Seems all those outside municipalities are some gullible suckers!

RECALL, RECALL, RECALL, RECALL?
It seems Gov. Tony Evers is playing loose with the tax payers money of Wisconsin.
The state budget as passed by the Republican-controlled Legislature included $90 million for local road projects. Evers vetoed it down to $75 million and on Thursday announced it would be available through a new grant program.
Instead, under the grant program it can be used for roads, bridges, public transit, bike paths and walking trails, railroads and harbors.So the plan by Evers is to give $15 million for the Hop (trolley) in time for the 2020 dem convention in Milwaukee.

Mr Pizza Out Of Touch in Washington DC
Seems Wisconsin's 8th District Congressman is having trouble with "Send her back!"
From Twitter.
The left wants to take over the future of our country and you just want to get along! I am one of his constituents, didn't vote for him in 2018 (write in vote) and it looks like I made the right choice even though he got elected.
Can anyone tell us what Mr. Gallagher has accomplished since going to DC? This is just a Washington elite out of touch with his voters. "Send her back" is somehow racist? Who's side is he on? It's OK for the left to insult his voters? No, he thinks it's the fault of the people that voted for him. Talk about being out of touch!
He may be right. We should take the temperature down in DC!
We need to get Mr. Gallagher out of Washington and get someone else who will do the work of the people. When Mr Pizza had the chance to do something in DC, he's done nothing!
Time for someone new in the 8th in 2020!
Who's up for the challenge?
First, who is he talking to? Children in high school? Action, reaction? Wake up man, this is 2019!Chants like "send her back" are abhorrent. If we are going to get anything done in Congress, we need to find a way to take the temperature down and rediscover common ground.— Rep. Mike Gallagher (@RepGallagher) July 18, 2019

Dumpster Diving Pigzilla Style
That's a whole lot of bacon. Found outside Hong Kong, they can weigh up to 450 lbs.

Wonder if wild boar tastes close to American grown pork?
Yum, yum!!!
Story and video from 10TV
An enormous wild boar was caught on camera rifling through a garbage dumpster outside a school in Hong Kong. Video of the encounter posted on Facebook has gone viral, with thousands of shares and comments.
The video shows the feral pig standing on its hind legs as three younger piglets standing around the dumpster eagerly awaiting a bite to eat. The adult pig grabs trash bags in its mouth, trying to free the delicious garbage from the confines of the dumpster.And some extra large BBQ ribs.

Candidate's Parents Give To Wisconsin's Tammy Baldwin
Once a democrat, always a democrat? You have to ask former democrat Kevin Nicholson who is running as a republican in the race to unseat Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin. Talk about embarrassing. Obviously his parents will always be democrat's giving $2700 each to Baldwin. How can Nicholson say he is a republican? He was a democrat before he was a republican? Heard that one before! Let's hope the voters of Wisconsin see through this!
From the Washington Times.
From the Washington Times.
The parents of a Republican U.S. Senate candidate have donated thousands of dollars to the Democratic woman he is trying to unseat.
The parents of Kevin Nicholson, who is running for the Wisconsin seat held by Sen. Tammy Baldwin, have donated the maximum amount allowed to Ms. Baldwin.
According a Baldwin-campaign filing with the Federal Election Commission, CNN reported Monday evening, Donna and Michael Nicholson each gave the federal limit of $2,700 to Ms. Baldwin’s campaign in December.Time for Leah Vukmir for Wisconsin Senate.
Maple Syrup Shortage In 2101
Time to hoard more maple syrup in the basement bunker.
Climate change to bring syrup shortage.
From Science.
Savor that sticky, slightly nutty sweetness drenching your Sunday morning pancakes now. The trees that make maple syrup will struggle to survive climate change, a new study reveals. Researchers had thought that pollution from cars, factories, and agriculture might buffer sugar maples against an increasingly warm and dry climate by supplying soils with fertilizing nitrogen. But the new analysis, which examined 20 years of tree and soil data in four Michigan locations, finds that extra boost of nitrogen won’t be enough. Instead, the researchers report today in Ecology, a lack of water will stunt the trees’ growth. They ran two climate change scenarios specific to the region. In one case, driven by a decrease in carbon dioxide emissions, temperature would change moderately, by less than 1°C over the next century.
My neighbor down the road will not be happy when I tell him the bad news. Him and his wife process maple syrup every spring.
Better tell my grandchildren, they will be in their late 90's when the shortage hits.
C Y A - E Mail On POTUS"s Last Day
Huh!
These people are really good. Who would of thought that you send yourself an e mail about a meeting you had fifteen days earlier to say what really happened and what your boss really said?
From Fox News
Talk about a C Y A moment!
Me think more emails to come out and this is by no means is the last shoe to drop.
What do you think?
Wait one minute, I think I should write myself an e mail about my past employment.
I remember back on January 25, 2018 , I forgot to take the garbage out even though my boss told me directly to do it. He said, "Paul, take the garbage out!" Hope he forgets about it when I go back to work.
I remember back on January 22, 2018 I was one minute late when I took my 10 min. break, (I clocked in at 10:01 am instead of 10:00 am! I remember my boss telling me not to be late, He said, "Paul, take your break and make sure you are not one minute late." Yep, that's what he said
Back on January 21, 2018 I remember one of my bosses told me to put a sale sign on a display that was showing the regular price. He stood there right next to the windshield wash in aisle 225. "Paul, get a sale sign on that display!" He even pointed to it with his right index finger. We both were 2.75 ft from the display. I can remember it like yesterday him telling me to do it.
Now I feel better, nothing like Covering My Butt. Hope they will take me back after I get my medical situations taken care of.

From Fox News
Ex-national security adviser Susan Rice sent an “unusual email” to herself the day President Trump was sworn into office documenting former President Barack Obama's guidance at a high-level meeting about how law enforcement should investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential race, two Republican senators said Monday.
According to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Sen. Lindsey Graham, the partially unclassified email was sent by Rice on Jan. 20, 2017 -- and appears to document a Jan. 5 meeting that included Obama, then-FBI Director James Comey, then-Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, then-Vice President Joe Biden and Rice.
In the email, Obama's national security adviser wrote: “President Obama began the conversation by stressing his continued commitment to ensuring that every aspect of this issue is handled by the Intelligence and law enforcement communities ‘by the book.’ The president stressed that he is not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective. He reiterated that our law enforcement team needs to proceed as it normally would by the book.”

NASCAR Clash(es) At Daytona
First big day for NASCAR in 2018.
Start of the Advance Auto Parts Clash, Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Serirs at Daytona International Speedway.
Random thoughts listening on MRN online. Cancelled Dish, it is what it is. This is what happens when you live up north and have foot surgery.
Paul Menard is driving the 21 for Wood Brothers.
Menards sponsors the # 12 for Penske with Ryan Blanney. I like the move to Ford.
Pre Race show called Jimma Johnson #48 "Grandpa", it fits. He should retire.
Lap 23 to go, Crusty Rusty is giving his 2 cents.
Penske has three cars in top 5. Like what I hear.
Pit stops are 16 to 20 seconds. Sounds like, slow as molasses in January not February.
Kasey Kahne is not what he used to be.
Three Penske cars one, two, three. Brad # 2 in first.11 laps to go.
Commercial break!!!!!!!!!!
For God's sake, another commercial?
So far no big wrecks, still time. Five to go
Can't get any better than that! Big K wins!
Have a Miller Lite!
Post race. #48 complaining about getting turned around by another Chevy. Sounds like it was the # 42.
Duels on Thursday.

Another Dekker, Decker From Wisconsin In Sporting News
Is she related to that other Dekker from Sheboygan?
O K, so her last name is not Dekker but Decker, D E C K E R is also from Eagle River Wisconsin.
Seems Natalie Decker took a fifth place finish Saturday at the ARCA race at Daytona Speedway. After starting on the pole, had some bad luck with dings and dents, made it through your normal maylee only Daytona can give and still came out fifth gives her a bright future in racing.
Story from ESPN.
No matter how you spell it, Sam and Natalie are from the great state of Wisconsin. Go cheese-heads.
O K, it would be nice if she drove Ford, but I guess she knows what she is doing.
You go Natalie, Congrats on placing fifth.
Free U.S. Taxpayer Money
Never saw this coming!!!!!!
Seems some of the $1.7 billion given to Iran from the Obama administration two years ago found it way to terrorist groups in the middle east.
Story at the Washington Times.
Who would of thought, Iran, free money from U.S. taxpayers, given to terror groups.
As Gomer Pyle would say,
SHAZAM!!!!

From the New York Post
Acme’s team began by spreading a reported 40 pounds of cream cheese on a kiddie-pool-size plain bagel. Next came 30 pounds of smoked salmon and enough sliced red onions, tomatoes and capers to cover every bite — and stink up the whole block, presumably.
After placing the top on the monster bagel, the assemblers proceeded to take the sandwich’s official measurements. The monstrosity weighed in at 213.75 pounds.
