The trusty Puckipuppy should do the job. Yes I can work the "throttle" and handlebars with one hand and fire the bear spray with the other. Already operationally tested this on a logging road in the Montana wilderness.

A soldering iron? You need one of those (relatively) new cordless multi tools for that. The Dewalt one is pretty sweet.

Cool day in Western Montana after a few days of temps in the 90s. Lavender, cloud-filled sky. Natural air conditioning. My wife's mountain ash tree and daylilies.

Cleaned up and am now filling the 900 gallon stock tank we use for a pool in the summer in Montana. Also, if you vote "conservative". . .

A good woodworking hand tool is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Pre-1932 Stanley 5 1/2 oversized jack bench plane with 2 1/4 inch blade. Just pulled this off the shelf and it looks exactly as this photo from 12 years ago and still works perfectly. Restoring a swing from this same batch.

"Big hitter, the Ayatollah. Long. Long. I once caddied for him at Shiraz Muni and afterwards I said, 'Hey Ayatollah, how about a little something for the effort?' He looked at me and said, 'I will not have you stoned.' So that's it. I can't even drink wine over there."

Picked up this am on my bike ride from a farmer's stand. Everyone else in the world probably already knew but the COLORS of eggs surprised me when I started buying from farm stands. Working up my courage to buy some duck eggs next, of which she has a large number.

We have hoop houses in Montana as well, APP. This is mine and my wife has a much neater one. I grow about 20-30 heirloom tomato vines along the sides. Photo is at that point in summer where the weeds start to get away from me. I get a lot of use out of the standing desk in the center for writing.

So simple a caveman can understand it. Our President is wrong and deeply embarrassing to us. Normal Americans can't understand the terrible thing that he is doing. He thinks he has the power to change a lie into truth.
