Happy Birthday, Mr Heinlein. You don’t how many countless hours of pleasure, sadness, adventure, thought provoking, philosophy, you’ve given me, and too many others, with all your writings. So I hoist a glass of cheer (your choice of flavor) to RAH, RAH, R.A.H!
Cherry is going to set Carl straight as to what his friends had setup for him. I also think Angel is going to be involved as well. In the last frame I think weapons lost the captain with her explanation of “Kitty Litter’. The captain looks lost.
For some reason I think Cherry knew exactly what is going on. And I guess the people who “set Jami” up with Cherry don’t know how good the ears of cats are; and they were already planning something. (my guess; but then again; I could be completely wrong)
I’ll accept the free UBER ride to the vaccine clinic. The liquor store is right next door.
But when the Vaccine America missionaries show up at my door to ask me if I’ve accepted their Lord and savior, Saint Fauci…
They’ll be met by a 6”2, 250lb man with a long beard and hair, wearing nothing but his underwear and a Mossberg 500.
I’ll stare at them for a long moment, slowly grin, and invite them inside.
If anybody asks I plan to tell ’em I “identify” as being fully vaccinated. If it works for “chicks” with (or who were born with) dicks then it by damn oughtta work for the shot, right?
RE: “met by a 6”2, 250lb man with a long beard and hair, wearing nothing but his underwear and a Mossberg 500”
Wouldn’t it be better to have the Mossberg at a low ready rather than having it slung on your back (only way I know to “wear” a long gun)? Also, don’t you reckon you’d be a mite over dressed? Blood can be damned hard to get out of clothes. 😉
Petercat, that was great. I’ll have to re-enact that at my castle.
If you or anyone here is considering the vaccine, I recommend getting an antibody test first. I learned by donating blood that I have the antibodies, and I had NO symptoms at all.
The people at the blood bank said there were many, many people with the same story.
Same here. Apparently, I’ve had the China Flu without even knowing it.
So I don’t need to get the vaccine, I have the natural antibodies.
My neighbor across the street is fully vaccinated, as are his kids and grandkids.
My friend who died was in his 70s, he got the vaccine two weeks before he died.
because im a high risk,. the VA had me come in an get tested (about 30 days after the covid hit.) ,. and found i already had it.. ( i thought it was a bad sinus infection…)
but when the delta variant came out , they had me get vaccinated,. just in case..
PeterCat,
I had the ChynaFlu…..and I knew it…..afterwards.
I was very tired and sleepy for about two weeks, and my senses of taste and smell were “off”.
Robnot,
What’s all this scaremongering over the (alphabet) varients? Has everyone, besides losing their minds, have they forgotten basic biology?
Virii mutate. It’s what they do. And with very few exceptions, each succeeding mutation (” variant “) is weaker than the one before.
So yes, it’s “contagious” (new scary buzzword). But that doesn’t make it deadly. Or even dangerous. Just……contagious.
So……come to my door. I don’t care. But I will inform you (with one hand held out of sight) that, I did not invite you, you are unwelcome, and you are trespassing. I am not interested in listening to anything you have to say. Leave. Now. Or there will be unpleasant consequences. For you.
Delta variant.: see hear is the thing.. it is now the dominate virus in the US (has been for about six months),. by the CDC (i don’t watch the news), it is more contagious an lethal (95% of covid deaths are D-variant),. BUT.! only to the non.. IF you have any covid resistance, you are pretty much immune.
I don’t really keep up with news from USA but you got a door to door salesman of vaccines over there? That is ffing stupid. I mean, I am pro-vaccination, but this way it feels more and more like forcing people to take the vaccin. pretty stupid if you ask me, but then again what do I know, I am just a stupid Dutch guy 🙂
Nico, it’s not so much that we have door-to-door salesmen for the (alleged, it’s really not) vaccine as that everywhere you look there is somebody trying to get you to get the shot. There is way more pressure being exerted to get the Coronavirus “vaccine” than to get the annual flu shots – this despite the fact that influenza kills 40,000 Americans – in a good year – every year with a bad year seeing upwards of 75,000 deaths attributed to the annual flu. In some areas there are actually people going door-to-door trying to get people to take the shots. Some states are having lotteries. This for a virus with a KNOWN RECOVERY RATE in excess of 99.8%!
Bill, I have had covid in a more severe form and still suffer the consequences after 7 months, unable to work for full days. When it comes to a discussion about vaccination I will always say it is up to you and how you feel about vaccination. The worst I will say about it is that I personally think it is not a smart move, but that is just my personal opinion. If people don’t want to, they don’t have to. I think there is no way to convince people to change their stance on vaccinations (and not only in this case) be it pro or contra so it is just not worth the energy.
What I do hate however is spreading false information about vaccinations, especially the ones that are easily proven wrong, like a niece of mine that kept on spreading a content list of vaccines in wich certain carcinogenic materials were listed while a simple search could disprove that claim.
Also the other way around like claiming better protection rates than you can prove I just hate behaviour like that. Treat people like adults and give them the real facts.

basically it boils down to ,,. the powers that be,. want it (covid) Gone.! IF you look at the risk chart , https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/investigations-discovery/hospitalization-death-by-age.html ,. who is really affected,,. who is at risk even if they get the shot.. (not listed.. 5% of population has after shot complications, “Except” after 70, then it jumps to 50%..) .. now knowing this,, WHY do you think the PTB, want covid gone yesterday.. also do you think “What you care about.” is even remotely on their list,. when their life is on line.??
Shout out to all. 1) I THINK I have a useable and reasonably realistic tire/wheel combo for my Army truck – call it Lotak (long “O” for Lobo Heavy Industries Tactical Transporter). The thing will resemble a HEMTT but will be completely my own design. Not sure whether I will make it 8X8 or 10X10. Possibly both. Anyhow, I have put a quick render of the tire & wheel on DA. I would appreciate comments here and/or at DA. You literally have no idea the amount of work represented in that picture. https://www.deviantart.com/bmullins3
On the lighter side. After a couple of years of just the two of us we bit the bullet and adopted a kitten. She’s a pretty little 7 week old grey and tan calico and we call her “Patches”. She’s a real sweetie. Loves to be held and petted. AND – unlike some of our other cats who would barely deign to give me the time of day – she actually comes to me to be held. She’s sleeping on my belly at this moment. When she gets older I plan to upload some pix of her to DA. I expect to be long in my grave before she dies but my wife (currently 68) bodes well to outlive her. A spayed female cat is a good bet for 12 – 15 years. If I live half of that I’ll have outlived both of my folks.
PC, I really do very much NEED you to do a test render of that tire I sent you. The extra surface detail might be TOO prominent and need to be reduced. I cannot know until I see a render from your end. Please? Pretty please? Meanwhile I’m proceeding on the Lotac truck you mentioned.
No.way I know to add morphs in what I use to model and I would have to do a ton of research and cut-and-try to figure out how to do that in, say, hexagon. Theoretically I could import it into hex and add morphs there – once I figured out how to import something into hex and how to add morphs. I could flatten one side slightly and figure out how to make the sidewall bulge slightly. I’m just glad the surface detail isn’t too prominent. Did you see where I’m progressing on your tactical transporter? I call it the Lobo. Gotta make mud flaps and tail lights then I’m going to model the cab. Really thinking about giving it a side stick instead of a steering wheel with conventional power and brake pedals. Could even see how the side stick could double as shift leaver. Push the whole thing forward for forward and pull it back for reverse. What do you think? I put some shots up of the chassis in progress. Could NOT believe how difficult the fenders over tbe front wheels turned out to be. Took right at 2 hours to get something I could live with. Hopefully the tail light assemblies and mud flaps will be easier. But I’ see if I can figure out why the thing will not rotate. It should. See if the tire/wheel combo I sent you does.
This was so good I just had to share it. No swipe intended against any political pursuasion.

“courage”
The willingness to stand up and fight for your values and beliefs, even at the risk of being praised and celebrated by the prevailing culture.

I didn’t know today was Mr Anson’s birthday. Thanks for the update, Mr Stanley!

Jami.. Carl is the guy behind Cherry an Yumi,. Jami Stennis
Carl has the kewl Blue Mustang. (home owner associate)
Thanks you’re right I sometimes suffer from CRS. Thanks again and the Mustang is very kewl.
For some reason I think Cherry knew exactly what is going on. And I guess the people who “set Jami” up with Cherry don’t know how good the ears of cats are; and they were already planning something. (my guess; but then again; I could be completely wrong)

I have a chest harness.
Oh great… He’s gonna go full on Zardoz on the poor bastards…
(Funny thing; autocorrect had changed Zardoz to Harris when I first typed it up… Is there a connection?!?)

The only problem is that it doesn’t rotate around it’s center.
Would it be possible to add a morph so that it could be flattened a bit on the bottom, with sidewall bulge?
