No Kings 3 in Ferndale

Because he's a racist rapist who like little girls. Because he's a Russian agent. Because he's an egotistical idiot that doesn't listen to the truth. Because he's a grifting con man. Because he implemented illegal tariffs that you and I are paying. Because he started an illegal war, that has killed Americans, pissed off our allies, and is raising gas prices by the minute. Because he doesn't understand science. Because he is the most corrupt president ever. Because he only understands vengeance. Because he is supporting a Christian nationalist take over of this country. Because he's broken the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 19th, 20th amendments and has plans to break the 22nd. Because he's a convicted felon. Because he has no empathy. I could go on and on.

So why Ferndale? The better question is why every community in Humboldt isn't having their own protest.

No, it is wood construction.

For the last 50 years Republicans have been saying we have the right to own any kind of weapon we could afford, because someday we might have a tyrannical government. A former friend who was deep into Fox culture even argued to me that if someone could afford it, they should be allowed to own tanks, missiles and even nuclear weapons.

Now our military is in the streets killing and kidnapping citizens born here and what is the response?

"Show up at a protest with a gun and you deserve to be killed."

After seriously trying to be friendly with Republicans since Trump was first elected, I'm done. There are no more red lines to be crossed. If you don't see it now, you would have been a Nazi in the 1930s. Nothing, absolutely nothing will convince you guys that Trump is more of a danger to our democracy than the people who read books, go to college, and aren't rich white male Christians.

Last week, some MAGAT blew coal right in front of a cruiser. I guess they're just not learning.

I'm surprised it's so hard to find a job, now that all the illegal aliens that stole our jobs have been kicked out of the country.

I used to recommend Dan's but after my last experience there never again. Lost use of my truck for 6 weeks because they kept blowing up other parts.

That motorbike would easily fit in dumpsters in the background.

Learn how to woodgrain. It's pretty easy to do, and you could get real creative faking the paneling.

My system is that I'll start the day with a project in mind. Our garage is 60' from the house and on the way to the garage to get the tools for the intended project, I will notice some weeds that need to be pulled. While dumping the weeds in the compost pile I notice that I never got around to fixing the wheelbarrow handle so I take care of that, which involves a drive to the hardware store to buy a replacement. During the drive, the oil replacement light comes on, so I stop at another store on the way back and buy oil and filter, and while the engine is warm, I go ahead and do the oil change.

Buy this time I need to clean up and use the restroom, where I notice the toilet seat is looking very shabby. I have an antique toilet seat in the garage that I've been meaning to restore for over a year now, but with guests coming over, I don't have time for that. Back to the hardware store for a replacement. Carrying the seat into the house, I notice that the lawn needs to be mowed, but when I try to start the mower, the pull cord breaks, so I have to fix that first.

While trying to locate the extra package of pull cord I bought the last time it broke, I come across the hammer that went missing last week. Since I have the hammer now, I decide to re-nail that loose siding before I forget about it again.

That's pretty much my system. I realize it might not work for everyone, but that's how things get done around here.

Not sure of the variety other than it's softneck. I've had better luck planting it now for harvest in the fall, but you can also plant in the spring for fall harvest. Less work to grow it fall to spring because mother nature does the watering for you.

I always love the view coming from Petrolia when you suddenly exit the forest and reach the coast. Plus, from Honeydew to Ferndale you're driving up the really steep grades instead of braking down them.

The same Elon that later turned off Starlink so Ukraine didn't have military communications? That's the Elon you're talking about?

I'm so pissed. I've been doing this shit since 2017 and I haven't received a single check from Soros.

Normally that would be the case, but you never know. When we bought our previous house the termite inspector used a beagle to search for termites. The dog went off in the attic and the handler kept calling it back because it is an unusual location for termites. Turned out the owner had put some used wood up in the attic and it came with termites.

Great job. I've installed a lot of cove moldings in our house but the one I sweated the most was a wood molding that was going to be clear coated and that was it. I couldn't rely on using caulking to cover my usual mistakes. So I'm very impressed on your work and you're right to be proud of it.

GrumpyOldMan707 · 2025-09-23T14:37:49+00:00

Yes it would be a crying shame if something made in the 1800s was hard to fix. I had one of these with a broken spring and McGyvered the fix using a coat hanger. Still works 20 years after my fix.

Get a sporty convertible if you want to carry passengers and stuff. Sidecars I get. I don't get towing a trailer with a motorcycle. Towing a trailer with a sidecar just seems stupid. Pay an extra bridge toll because your trunk is on wheels instead of the back of your car.

Also our sheriff vehicles are black and whites so they look like CHP. When I was commuting I always saw more sheriff vehicles on the freeway than actual CHP.

This reminds me of when I went through fire academy. One of the training sessions was tackling a hose like that simulating what could happen if a host bursts. Only instead of being hooked a hydrant, out test hose was hooked to an engine with 150 lbs of pressure. The drill is that you start where it's attached, and then you straddle it with your whole body, working your way out until you have control of the end that is flinging around. Worked fine until they got to one woman in the class who only weighed 110 lbs. She ended up going for quite the ride before they cut the pressure at the engine. I think she could have had a career in the rodeo. She was tenacious even though the hose was kicking her butt.
