I have been working with a belt I bought at Cabelas for some couple of years now, and it’s gotten to the point where it’s rugged.

On a fat old guy, belts tend to roll readily, and this one was no exception. it was getting to the point where it was almost a rope.

A new Cabelas belt was about $39, and the new weren’t even as nice as the one i had. They’re all made from that bonded leather crap now.

So I went to Tandy on my way home tonight and got a nice piece of 1.750″ Latigo leather, and some sex bolts. I’m tired of halfass belts that fall apart, and now I have one that would have made a nice piece of harness leather. I bolted the belt together instead of sewing it, and used four bolts where most big belts use two. The buckle is a roller that would make a good carabiner. I burnished the edges and put it on.

If they made a holster for a Ma Deuce, this belt would hold it up.

Sunday, on the way to the range with Mr B and Midwest Chick, partner and i stopped for a mcDonald’s Frappe.

The lactose does some interesting stuff to me, let me tell you.

So at the end of the day, when Mr b said “I’ll remember not to stand downrange of you guys” I heard “Downwind” instead of ‘Downrange’ and thought, damn, I didn’t think I was farting THAT loudly. I mean, I used to work with a guy whose farts would set off the Clapper in his house, but I didn’t think mine were that loud, and everyone had earplugs in. I was standing downwind, though, thankfully.

Wait, you probably aren’t on the guest list.

The guest list consists of “”private mother-daughter trip with longtime family friends.”

In other words, a handful of homeys got they hands on a big old wad of taxpayer cash and is gonna have a party in Spain with lots of crunk and gift bags of taxpayer funded bling making P Diddy’s birthday bash look like a fourth grade cake and kool-ade affair. Ever notice how people that win the lotto tend to spend wads of cash trying to make it look like they’re high class, and just end up looking like rich, tasteless rubes?

I like this part the best:

“While the trip is being described as “private,” “while in Spain, Mrs. Obama will pay an official visit to Their Majesties King Juan Carlos and Queen Sophia of Spain at their invitation,” the White House said, with the activities to be closed to the press.”

In other words, ‘We’ll be doing ten minutes of “official business” so the whole trip is covered by the taxpayer”

yeah, that’s right, you. Hope you enjoy it.
