Have you started to notice the shortages yet?

From electrical parts to semi-conductors to lumber and screws, we're getting low on a lot of things... 


A shortage of superconductor chips have left thousands of Ford Super Duty trucks to sit in lots in Kentucky and across the US. Dealers in my area have NO new Fords on their lots.

The 55-year-old victim can be seen walking by the Kong Sihk Tong café at around 6:15 p.m. — when a black guy in an orange hoodie and denim jacket walked up to her and whacks her unprovoked. Just cold-cocked her. This is the 7th or 8th similar thing I've seen in NYC and it's always a black guy suckering an oriental. WTF is wrong with these people? Here's a very short clip:

"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. 
Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.” 

― Gilda Radner

It isn't quite this bad yet but have you been to the store looking for meats lately? 80/20 Hamburger $ 4.79 a lb.? Rib-eye steaks have gone from $ 8.99 a lb. to $ 13.99 in just the last three months.
I was having people over for dinner Sunday night and wanted to do some chicken wings to go with the ribs I already had. $ 3.49 a fucking pound for chicken wings, and they were scrawny! I know of two bars in my area that  have taken the wings off their menus 'cause they're either too scarce or too expensive.

These are both my 'go-to' cordlesses. 
I have two sets of these. 
This complete DeWalt set is on sale right now.


It's on sale right now for only $ 139.00 for the 20v set along with the charger and the bag. That is one helluva deal, and a lot better price than you'll get at Lowes or Home Depot.

Pick up on the similarity between these two...



Yeah - I don't think that's what this one is thinking...

A woman who was missing for three weeks and then rescued from a Florida storm drain found herself in another underground tunnel system in Texas over the weekend. Lyndsey Kennedy, 43, climbed out of a 6-foot drain pipe Saturday night and was taken to a hospital. Kennedy had been checked into a rehabilitation facility in Texas when she wandered off.

Florida is threatening to slap cruise lines with tens of thousands of dollars in fines for requiring passengers to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination - uncomfortably wedging the sector between a federal mandate and the state’s sensibility. 
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a law earlier this month that banned bars, schools, restaurants and other businesses from asking customers whether they’ve been vaccinated against COVID-19.

The sound - and the volume - you get from this is amazing.

  1. On Sunday (in WA state) I saw lumber yards full of wrapped lumber waiting, piles of logs not yet processed and tens of thousands of acres of trees.
